Memoirs of a Gifted Human Being

I remember Girish Karnad as a character in the film Swami and that made a lasting impression on a college-going boy. The calmness and poise displayed by Karnad gave me an idea about the kind of persona he was. After Swami, I continued waiting for the movies he acted in. I had not seen any of his plays. It was much later that I developed an interest in theatre and came to know Girish Karnad through his plays as an incomparable playwright and director.
