A memorable event, truly !

I remember(!) attending this programme long back when I was a kid. It was a typical Sunday evening at home and my parents wanted to take us out somewhere. There was this show that was advertising for a memory power increase course or something like that... And we went for that.

The show was being held in an audi near CV (my good old school !). The people who had already undertaken the course had to come onto the dais and were supposed to showcase the audience their extra-ordinary memory power.

First came a small girl. She started reciting high digit multiplication tables. A presentation was put up for the audience (not visible to her) to see what she was reciting and check up. She left the audience stunned as she left the stage.

Next came a middle aged man who had memorized Costing rules and sections (Or was it that ?...don remember exactly). You ask him the section number and he would rattle out the rules corresponding to that section. The audience gave him a huge round of applause as he left the stage.

Finally came Mr. Kuttiappan. He was to recite Bhagawad Gita verses. Mention the chapter and the verse number. And he would start reciting the corresponding verses in Sanskrit. It was put up on the screen for us to check. This went on and on... He kept on reciting the verses as the audience kept on asking. Man, this guy was awesome. His memory power was just simply too good.
Atleast everyone thought so...
Until the anchor of the show mentioned something on the mike which left us in splits of laughter.

"Mr. Kuttiappan, you have forgotten your slippers and left them on stage. Please come and take it !!!". ROTFL ! :D
