Not all students are lucky enough to have teachers like yours. A southpaw friend of mine was chided by his for keeping taalam with his left hand. He, interestingly, uses his right hand to eat (because he uses his left hand to cleanse). (Living in a hostel teaches you _way_ too much about your fellow "inmates".)
