Thank you, Bijay babu. You are right. Guru Drona was deceitful, a great one though. The illustration by editor Aparna is interesting.

The old-age teacher and the new-age teacher, the difference in between, perhaps the latter more friendly and professional, but the latter moralistic, high, elegant and pontifical and hypocritical too.
Asking to stand up on the last bench holding the ears or on date leaves, sometimes the tender pupil unable to bear with the twisting of the ear lobes, sit ups and downs so many.
But there was also a teacher
Named Drona
Of Ekalavya,
Not a direct,
But an indirect student.
But after the giving of the thumb
As per his dakshina
As demanded by the biased, prejudiced guru,
What to say?
