Recently at music class one of the parents of another kid who learns music asked my teacher "Why does that Christian girl not attend class anymore?" which confused the teacher so they explained "The one with short hair". Quantum leap of faith that !! Over the decades I'm used to the (funny) situations where someone is passing a lewd/derogatory comment thinking I cant understand the language, thereby giving me a chance to show the depth and breath of cuss words in the local dialects and mood permitting in Sanskrit, a veritable storehouse in this regard. -- .
