“May you live in interesting times", is an ancient Chinese curse. I beg to differ. I tend to agree with Ruskin Bond, a visually impaired Indian short story writer of British descent. In one of his short stories involving himself travelling by train, he comments on a fellow female passenger and says "you have an interesting face" and adds that it is a safe comment to make at any given time. The lady does not realize that he is blind until the end of both the journey and the story. Ruskin Bond realizes that the lady with whom he was talking all the while, was also blind at the end of his journey. I think my time at University of Bristol was interesting and now you know that interesting can be safe, enlightening and much more!
