ICSE lit nerds like me will always remember him for the 'Night of the Scorpion'❤️
Fun fact: After returning from London, Ebrahim Alkazi founded Theatre Unit along with him which became a monumental chapter in Mumbai's theatre history. A legacy carried forward by Satyadev Dubey :)
My first mentor, the poet, editor and art critic Nissim Ezekiel - as wonderfully generous as he was greatly celebrated - would have turned 99 yesterday; in three weeks' time, we will commemorate the 20th anniversary of his passing. I share the memorial piece I wrote on him, for The Hindu, in January 2004: https://t.co/9m0Mjwqevy

In 1931, two psychologists, Winthrop and Luella Kellogg, began an experiment to see if a chimpanzee could learn human behavior by raising it with their own baby. The idea was to see if the chimp, named Gua, would learn to walk upright, speak, and engage in other human-like activities.
For the first few months, the experiment was going well. Gua learned to mimic some of the actions of Kelloggs' son, Donald.
However, after 9 months, the Kelloggs were forced to cancel the experiment. It turns out that Donald was beginning to behave like an ape himself, mimicking Gua's behaviors and even attempting to communicate with grunts and other animal-like sounds.

@10DowningStreet This is as wrong as it gets. Immigrants on a work visa typically pay a huge sum for visa application (now over £1k), and over £600 per year on NHS surchange, and are NOT eligible for any public funds, including child benefit. They already bring so much and get so little in return
