I am watching this interview. Absolutely wonderful. Having known Professor Saroja Bhate for most of my life, I can personally relate to her account of her studies of Sanskrit in Pune. As a student, I used to look up to her and to Ashok Aklujkar who were ahead of me.

It's all because of the miracle of girl, who once was hunting for marks. Never would I have thought. It's the sincerity I was looking for and now found.

I guess there are no new stories to be heard, but I hope some good old that can be heard again and again. 
I guess the volumes, that prof. Saroja Bhate has prepared in loving memory of her teachers, is the attitude
we should nurture - it's not about Sanskrit, it's about real love and life in all it's dimensions.

I hope we will be able tomorrow at same time to continue the story:

Dear Marcis,

     As a boy, I did not have to face the hurdles Professor Saroja Bhate had to pass through. But she was determined and our teachers were very open minded, and were willing and ready to go beyond the call of duty to help their students.
