The last few days have seen a few bloggers posting about the recent passing of noted playwright and screenplay writer Vijay Tendulkar. But I found Ramu’s obit especially moving.
Tendulkar Saab commented: “The characteristic note of our time is the mediocre man, and his commonplace mind. And this mind knowing itself to be mediocre, has the gall to its right to mediocrity, and goes on to impose itself wherever it can. Be it our theatrewallahs, be it our politicians. This is a living hell.”
The tragedy of Tendulkar has been, he had to suffer fools who inhabited the very same living hell, he was opposed to!
