Hamlet...A good friend from Shillong in Class 5 had his dad's name as Hamlet and as usual, whenever his dad came to vist we used to be like, "HELMET's here!!" hahaha That was indeed a good piece there. If Shakespeare were alive today, he would be the richest writer in history as all his 37 plays have either been made into movies/tv-series/books/plays/musicals/ballets, etc. Imagine the royalty the fellow would've got outta all this?? Another one from "As You like it" that was either in our final exam or the ICSE (?? can't remember). However, the words in this verse surely uplifts the downtrodden: Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
