Detailed Answer :
Gogon Pakrashi was the mentor of Patol Babu. He had advised Patol Babu that no role was big or small and however small a role may be, a good actor should give full attention to it as every word in a play is important. It is like a fruit in a tree and an actor must know how to pluck the fruit, get the essence and serve it to the satisfaction of his audience. There is no role which is beneath one’s dignity or too small to be turned down. One should make use of every opportunity and do full justice to the role. One must learn to work towards perfection. It is a healthy attitude which should be followed by everyone because it is only the work which is done with perfection that gives satisfaction. When Patol Babu got the monosyllable 'Oh' as his dialogue, he was disappointed but the words of his guru Gogon Pakrashi gave him a new hope to put life into that monosyllabus. He took it as a challenge and decided to rehearse 'Oh' with different inflections a long drawn 'Oh', a short 'Oh', 'Oh' with high and low pitch both. Then he realised that he could write a thesis on it. He was thankful to his guru for his advice and he could enact his role with great perfection.
