Este soy yo un día cualquiera a las ocho de la mañana. Llevo despierto desde las cinco (o incluso antes) dibujando en tranquilidad, cuando todos duermen, y preparando las clases. 
Acabo de charlar un rato sobre trivialidades en la estupenda tertulia matutina de cinco minutos que tenemos en mi centro. Sala de profesores. Compis con sus historias en casa. Compis esperando a entrar en acción.
Suena el timbre, que en nuestro caso es una canción seleccionada por la chavalería. Suelen tener buen gusto. Hace unas semanas era Space Oddity, ahora mismo es una cosa que no controlo.

Ram-Nam, Marine Lines on Cinema Road, behind Metro cinema, the popular Art Deco picture palace in Dhobi Talao. #MeherMarfatia talks about its construction that obstructed the sea view. Resident of nearby Jehangir mansion, Pesi Khansaheb, paid Rs 4 extra a month - Rs 72
