God...

There is no other word that better describes Mishra. After 2 and a half years at IITM, he is still regarded the God of the wing by all and sundry. Anything about any arbitrary topic, the doubt winds its way towards 109, Tapti. 109 has become synonymous with a holy place, with the pilgrims believing that scribbling "Mishra is God!!" on the walls of his abode will grant them enormous grasping and concentration powers. To resemble a holy man, he has also tonsured his head now, and looks anything but a holy man. A devout Mishraite, when asked what he felt about Mishra's new hairstyle answered,"Yatho Mishras Thatho Satyam". When we asked him about the relevancy of the statement he made in connection to the question we asked, he again replied "Yatho Mishras Thatho Satyam". It seems to be the motto on everyone's lips. In the recently concluded Shaastra, the dean was reported to have "mistakenly" substituted IITM's motto with "Yatho Mishras Thatho Satyam".
Philosophy seems to have become a way of life for him nowadays. An example -
Mishra, 2 years back -
Q: Dude, why did the chicken cross the road??
A: The answer is something that is archived deep in the Nalanda university library and only Mishraite scholars are allowed to access. But we have reason to believe that it is something related to Copernicus' statement about the Sun being the center of the Solar system.
Mishra, Now-
Q: Dude, why did the chicken cross the road??
A: First tell me this, why should it cross the road?
Q: Machan, that is the question da. Answer.
A: Of what use is it to you that I answer the question? Does it solve any higher purpose? Does my answering your question affect your future in any way??
Q: Can't you give a straightforward answer??
A: First tell me, what is an answer. Is there an answer to any question? Is there any question at all? And is there any thing that is straightforward??
Obviously, you give up. No one has ever been able to get a straight answer from him, and no one ever will.
The sugar industry in India is thriving because of Mishra. For a cup of sugar solution, he puts 2 teaspoons of tea powder. When asked about the danger of him getting diabetes, he had just one answer "What exactly is danger?? Define danger. Is there not danger in everything??". Rajnikanth's next movie is a take on Mishra's life and ideals. Rajnikanth is believed to have stayed with him over the past summer to learn the intricacies of Mishra's life.
When asked about his experiences when living with Mishra, he said it was an experience that can't be put into words and it will be very difficult to enact his role. He also said that it will be his first movie without a heroine, which will be a welcome change from prancing around with a girl in her 20s.
What is Mishra really like? What are his innermost thoughts? What are his fantasies, his dreams? These are questions that are currently being answered at MISHRA (Mishra's Institute for Scientific, Holistic and Rational Approach).
Next: Mishra, as a dude!!
