I am now reading an Oriya book SANDHAN and SANKET (Search and Indication) by the legendary Oriya columnist and short story writer MANOJ DAS. For those who dont know him, he is an eminent but much appreciated writer in both Oriya and English language. He can be an excellent story teller for the a layman tyro (like me) as well as write philosophical stuff which can only be understood and appreciated by folks at an higher level of intellect (not me). Anyway..he had a nice anecdote about Albert Einstein who is arguably the greatest scientist of 20th century. Once Einstein was attending a seminar. He came out during the lunch break to grab some food and entered into a restaurant. The waiter brought him the menu. Einstein suddenly realized that he left his glasses at the seminar. So he requested the waiter to read the menu for him. Sorry..Sir..the waiter politely replied, I am also illiterate like you.
