HELLO! I am back again with some interesting verses and translated stories. There is a saying which I read in some Sanskrit book I don't recollect,
A coconut is hard from outside but inside it has sweet water.
It is really great that how these verses teach us about the behaviour of humans from examples.
One of these nature of man or rather every living thing is that, whatever we are or become in life, won't our bad habbits be the same?
Like if you make the dog a king, won't he still chew things? won't he still bite? it is our nature that is irrevokable.
And then there is a verse saying:
Where is knowledge for lazy person?
Where is wealth for an illeterate person?
Where is a friend for a poor person?
Where is hapiness for a friendless person?
Folks today I will write only this much as I am facing some problem. But next time I will return with some more verstories! That is verses+ stories! Bye...

THE ANCIENT LANGUAGE
HULLA! My exams are over so now I can blog nearly everyday! I was so happy today, I just adore that day when your final exams are finally over and you can do whatever you want. Play, party, sleep or go to a friends house and just chill no worry no tension. This should be the life.Be your mindlike!
But anyway that doesn't mean that I will forget some of those best studying days. The main language which used to be spoken in India in the holy era of god was Sanskrit. Of course, now in India, it used as a study language. I have heard children say. "Hell this is chewing my brain!" while reading Sanskrit. The main thing in Sanskrit is that it has many verses. Theses verses do not usually ryhme. But they carry a brilliant meaning. Of course i cannot write the verses here in Sanskrit or the 'Devnagri' language but i can translate the verses and make a story from it. Here are some of the translated stories:
Once there was a particular sea body, which asked a question to the passing by scholar. "Why, sir, is the position of the clouds which store water and the position of the sea which stores water too different?" the scholar was surprised by the unusual question. But he smiled and replied,
"The clouds which are high in the air and the sea which is down on earth, there is a particular reason hidden behind it, the clouds give or donate the water to the land by rain while the sea, only stores the water pouring from rain. Does it ever gives the water to anybody? And therefore it is on the ground low. But clouds donate and so they are up in the sky. Similarly, a man which donates rise and the man who keeps everything for himself is always low,"
Hearing the answer the body went back to the sea.
This story was really meaninful. And you can see that this verse was written many years back. There are hidden meanings in these wonderful verses! And now you have to guess one riddle which is also from a Sanskrit verse:
This is an object which does not have legs but still goes far,
This is an abject which is endowed with words but it is not a scholar,
This is an objct which is without mouth but speaks clearly. What is this?
This is a letter. The letter goes far even though it does not have legs. The letter is full of words and sentences on it but is not a scholar. When you read it, it is like the letter is speaking but again it does not have mouth. Isn't it brilliant? I will bring you such stories when I get more like these. Till then bye...
