The myth of Pandora is ancient, appears in several distinct Greek versions, and has been interpreted in many ways. In all literary versions, however, the myth is a kind of theodicy, addressing the question of why there is evil in the world.

Last year gave us that very enjoyable movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, from which the song Pappu Can’t Dance became an anthem in colleges. It was in very popular use to tease nerds and rag newbies. Any bookworm was named Pappu. I love the song. It...
