No offecnce to the Indian population or what, but if Literature is going to be like this every year, I will go lose my marbles and start talking like you guys.
First text was The English Teacher, set in India. Fair enough. BUT TO HAVE THE UNSEEN ALSO SET THERE?!?!?!
I was like "URGH! WTF" when I saw the words "rupee" and also wierd names. Ok so maybe Varun's name isnt wierd but at that time I was like -.- already
The last part of the unseen was the best question. You see, it involved a woman talking to her daughter about arranged marriages on the day of her daughter's wedding. So the last question was : How did the author make the conversation entertaining?
Naturally people would have wrote about techniques and emotions during the conversation.
I SO WANTED TO WRITE : THE AUTHOR MADE THEM SPEAK IN INDIAN ACCENTS, WITH THEIR HEADS GOING LEFT AND RIGHT, GENERATING AN ALTERNATING CURRENT IN THE PROCESS.
But I guess Shankaran would have murdered me so I stuck with the usual. It was really such an ROFL thought at that time that I could not help grinning at the reactions of the Cambridge markers if I wrote that.
So goodbye for now until the Os are over, the worst part being that we have to wait for our results.
Carrying your name, close to me.
