Picture Perfect Human

When I was in the sixth grade I had to draw the anatomy of the human body. I was struggling with it and my father helped me draw (he actually did the work) the perfect picture of the human anatomy.

When I was in Little Flower, I had an extra-ordinary teacher, Mr. M.N. Reddy. Every math topic was just beautiful to me, but I was especially enchanted by set theory and set operations- what was referred to then as Modern Mathematics. One day we learnt in class about operations, and that we could define a new operation or a function and called it addition. I remember going to my dad that evening and telling him that I could make 2 and 3 add up to 6, with my new function. He had a lot of fun teasing us about the fancy "Modern Mathematics."
