How there is a good note on ‘Humour’ in the lesson, Poets and Pancakes?

Or

Asokamitran has used humour and satire effectively in ‘Poets and Pancakes.’ Discuss.

Solution

The author’s use of gentle humour and mild satire coupled with painting out human weaknesses makes this lesson quite interesting. He has a chatty style which quickly changes from one thought to the other. The make-up department has people from different states. The make-up man could change into a decent looking person look ugly like a monster. It was done so that they could be made presentable in the movies. The office -boy was a bit of poet. The author would pray for crowd shooting all the time to save himself from the office-boy’s ‘epics’.

Subbu was a many-sided genius and he remained cheerful all the time. He was a tailor-made for films and always worked for someone else. The legal adviser had many subtle touches of humour. The moral Re-Armament Army was welcomed at the Gemini Studio and it brought a welcome change from their routine. The English poet remained a mystery for all. Even the baffled reaction of the staff at the Gemini Studio arouses our humour. These people are ogainst communism and they are satired and did nothing to oppose it.
