1. When Venkat's father admitted him in school, the principal wanted to ensure that he was the right age. He asked Venkat to touch his left ear by taking his right hand over his head, since that was how age was determined. Venkat knew this, yet he held his ear the easy way. The principal was amused and impressed - he realized the boy was smart enough to start school, but he changed his date of birth to make him seem older and therefore eligible for school.


2. Daddi Singh Urveti and 'Labda' Sumer Singh Khusram were Jangarh's assistants. They filled a painting started by Jangarh with dots or lines, in patterns set by Jangarh. In contrast, Venkat drew patterns that looked like cracked earth.


3. Jangarh did not teach "directly" he taught his apprentices life; art just came along. Jangarh made a new apprentice grind about two kilos of smooth masala paste from red chillies, coriander seeds, cloves, cinnamon, chopped onion, garlic and ginger using the silbatta. He would monitor this from a distance and severely scold the apprentice if he did not do it right. Jangarh would start singing suddenly and expect the apprentice to sing along.
