Back stories are always instructive. And sometimes entertaining. So it is a delight to read one that is both instructive and entertaining.

These back stories, of a sort, have been written by Karthika Nair, a poet, writer and dance producer. Oh, and in the interests of full disclosure, Karthika is a very good friend.
