Patol Babu remembered the advice of his guru Pakrashi. He started giving the exclamation “Oh!” a different inflection each time he uttered it. He made an astonishing discovery. The same exclamation, when spoken in different ways, carried different shades of meaning. When a man is hurt he says “Oh!” in a different way and when he is in despair he utters “Oh!” differently. He felt that single word “Oh!” contained a gold-mine of meaning. He could write a whole thesis on that exclamation. A true actor can make a mark even with that one single syllable “Oh!”
