Carry on, brave teachers
Government schoolteachers have the arduous task of enthusing children, who barely manage a meal a day, to come to classes.

RAMESH pays a tribute to these unsung heroes on the occasion of Teachers' Day, tomorrow.

Aching for Gouri...
What happens when one has a great musician for a father and teacher? One, no doubt, walks in the footsteps of the grand tradition, but also learns to go beyond. Rajshekhar Mansur, son of the maestro Mallikarjun Mansur, tells DEEPA GANESH that gharana is dead matter if one does not improve on it. This musician will be felicitated in the city on September 7.

He's not a common man
"You will be an artist one day. Keep it up," said the teacher to his young pupil. And R.K. Laxman, now recovering from a stroke, went on to prove the prophesy right. MALA KUMAR meets the man who does not mince words, or even cartoons for that matt er.
