Interview with a curator

I interviewed Nihal kaur, one of my dad's friend who is a curator at Mythological museum in India. He spend 25 years working there. He was an art major when he started working in the museum. He knows lots of stories related to the sculptures in museum. He was personally interested in it beacuse when he was in art school he visited there in field trip. The best part of his job is that he loves telling people all that stories related to those paintings and sculptures. He always use to tell me the story about "The Rath" which means a cart tied to flying swan. Our god use to travel on that Rath when goes comes from heaven to earth. He loves to tell all that mythological stories to children visiting there. According to him, its the smile and wonder on the childrens faces that makes him love his job.
