A small thread -
It is the puṇya of many that has made it possible for this gem to reach the hands of the janatā-janārdana.
The personal diary of philosopher and aesthete extraordinaire Prof M Hiriyanna effacingly titled 'Chaff and Draff'.
It is nothing but, though.

निपुणप्राघुणकम् by Dr. Shankar Rajaraman (@avyAjabandhu) is easily one of the most enjoyable (and hilarious) Sanskrit plays I have ever read. [take it from a GenZ 🥸] Once you start reading it, you won't be able to put it aside until you finish it. Highly recommended for those who can read Sanskrit!

He is a master of Avadhana, a classical art form unique to India, which involves solving a variety of poetic challenges with verses composed extempore, without any aids like pen and paper. Credited with reviving the art form in Kannada, he has performed more than 1,300 Ashatavadhanas and 5 Shatavadhanas till date, primarily in Kannada and Sanskrit. Dr. R. Ganesh is also a prolific author.
