This could be SPB’s rhythmic laughter in a song, or Crazy Mohan’s pun that needs a second to register. Categorising it as ‘situational comedy’ (where jokes arises out of the situation) would detract from the genius with which Crazy Mohan interpreted these situations. “Ticket, ticket?” he asks. Crazy Mohan taught me to see the lighter side of things, the madness of life and the funny inevitability of death. Crazy Mohan might be gone, but we all have a lifetime to savour his work.
