What a pity! I must say that the teacher was wrong.
One 100% wrong.
A straight line draws the line of minimum length between any given two points.
If between two points say A and B you need another point say C to direct it to
be truely stright, then you would as well need two more points D1 and D2 to do
the same job for connecting A to C and C to B as per the same postulation.
WE shall then realize that each and every introduction of a point makes the job
more awkward with the need for one more point for each adjucent pair of point
thus created. This fatal double recursion quickly implies that we need infinite
number of points to draw a stright line. That is right in its own sense as any
straight line is an infinit series of points sitting side by side rubbibng
shoulders.
The two point concept for a stright line is to visualize the idea that it was
the
smallest path between the points.
Now coming to the yati and lines of chandas. After all, yati is introduced to
break the line into two segements wherever possible!
Syamala rao.
PS: Most part of this, I am afraid , is irrev't to telusa.
