The Legacy

We had often had arguments on various things, albeit by email, and while we often disagreed, I admired R’s ability to think beyond stereotypes.

Once my senior in college by 3 years, he was now a professor at my alma mater and, interestingly, he now occupied the cabin and chair of Professor B (who happened to be one of the finest analytical minds I had ever met).

Sitting across the table with R and debating things with him gave me a strong feeling of deja vu, for I had done the exact same thing on many occasions with Prof B, and R was, indeed, a worthy successor of Prof. B.

Something about that chair? Maybe!

We spoke of several things, all of them disconnected, and yet all of them connected. 

I also teach a course on storytelling, R told me.
