women as described in anusasika parva of Mahabharatham in the words of Bheeshmapitamaha

SECTION XXXVIII

(mahabharatham anusasika parvam [13th parva] translation by kisar mohan ganguly)

"Yudhishthira said, 'O best of the Bharatas, I wish to hear thee discourse on the disposition of women. W omen are said to be the root of all evil. They are all regarded as exceedingly frail.'

"Bhishma said, 'In this connection is cited the old history of the discourse between the celestial Rishi Narada and the (celestial) courtezan Panchachuda. Once in ancient times, the celestial Rishi Narada, having roamed over all the world, met the Apsara Panchachuda of faultless beauty, having her abode in the region of Brahman. Beholding the Apsara every limb of whose body was endued with great beauty, the ascetic addressed her, saying, 'O thou of slender waist, I have a doubt in my mind. Do thou explain it.'

"Bhishma continued, 'Thus addressed by the Rishi, the Apsara said unto him, 'If the subject is one which is known to me and if thou thinkest me competent to speak on it, I shall certainly say what is in my mind.'

"Narada said, 'O amiable one, I shall not certainly appoint thee to any task that is beyond thy competence. O thou of beautiful face, I wish to hear from thee of the disposition of women.'

"Bhishma continued, 'Hearing these words of the celestial Rishi, that foremost of Apsaras replied unto him, saying, 'I am unable, being myself a woman, to speak ill of women. Thou knowest what women are and with what nature they are endued. It behoveth thee not, O celestial Rishi, to set me to such a task.' Unto her the celestial Rishi said, 'It is very true, O thou of slender waist! One incurs fault by speaking what is untrue. In saying, however, what is true, there can be no fault.' Thus addressed by

him, the Apsara Panchachuda of sweet smiles consented to answer Narada's question. She then addressed herself to mention what the true and eternal faults of women are!'

"Panchachuda said, 'Even if high-born and endued with beauty and possessed of protectors, women wish to transgress the restraints assigned to them. This fault truly stains them, O Narada! There is nothing else that is more sinful than women. Verily, women, are the root of all faults. That is, certainly known to thee, O Narada! Women, even when possessed of husbands having fame and wealth, of handsome features and completely obedient to them, are prepared to disregard them if they get the opportunity. This, O puissant one, is a sinful disposition with us women that, casting off modesty, we cultivate the companionship of men of sinful habits and intentions. Women betray a liking for those men who court them, who approach their presence, and who respectfully serve them to even a slight extent. Through want of solicitation by persons of the other sex, or fear of relatives, women, who are naturally impatient of all restraints, do not transgress those that have been ordained for them, and remain by the side of their husbands. There is none whom they are incapable of admitting to their favours. They never take into consideration the age of the person they are prepared to favour. Ugly or handsome, if only the person happens to belong to the opposite sex, women are ready to enjoy his companionship. That women remain faithful to their lords is due not to their fear of sin, nor to compassion, nor to wealth, nor to the affection that springs up in their hearts for kinsmen and children. Women living in the bosom of respectable families envy the condition of those members of their sex that are young and well-adorned with jewels and gems and that lead a free life. Even those women that are loved by their husbands and treated with great respect, are seen to bestow their favours upon men that are hump-backed, that are blind, that are idiots, or that are dwarfs. Women may be seen to like the companionship of even those men that are destitute of the power of locomotion or those men that are endued with great ugliness of features. O great Rishi, there is no man in this world whom women may regard as unfit for companionship. Through inability to obtain persons of the opposite sex, or fear of relatives, or fear of death and imprisonment, women remain, of themselves, within the restraints prescribed for them. They are exceedingly restless, for they always hanker after new companions. In consequence of their nature being unintelligible, they are incapable of being kept in obedience by affectionate treatment. Their disposition is such that they are incapable of being restrained when bent upon transgression. Verily, women are like the words uttered by the wise. 1 Fire is never satiated with fuel. Ocean can never be filled with the waters that rivers bring unto him. The Destroyer is never satiated with slaying even all living creatures. Similarly, women are never

satiated with men. This, O celestial Rishi. is another mystery connected with women. As soon as they see a man of handsome and charming features, unfailing signs of desire appear on their persons. They never show sufficient regard for even such husbands as accomplish all their wishes, as always do what is agreeable to them and as protect them from want and danger. Women never regard so highly even articles of enjoyment in abundance or ornaments or other possessions of an agreeable kind as they do the companionship of persons of the opposite sex. The destroyer, the deity of wind, death, the nether legions, the equine mouth that roves through the ocean, vomiting ceaseless flames of fire, the sharpness of the razor, virulent poison, the snake, and Fire--all these exist in a state of union in women. That eternal Brahman whence the five great elements have sprung into existence, whence the Creator Brahma hath ordained the universe, and whence, indeed, men have sprung, verily from the same eternal source have women sprung into existence. At that time, again, O Narada, when women were created, these faults that I have enumerated were planted in them!'"

His sweet grace makes the dumb one the most eloquent, He enables the crippled to scale tallest mountains  to that eternal source of bliss, Madhava, do I surrender

only for once at least let me praise my real master

മൂകം കരോതി വാചാലം പങ്ഗും ലങ്ഘയതേ ഗിരിം

യത്കൃപാ തം അഹം വന്ദേ പരമാനന്ദ മാധവം

സംസാരശേഷി ഇല്ലാത്തനെപ്പോലും വാഗ്മി ആക്കുന്നു  കാലുകളുടെ ചലനശക്തി  നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടവന് പോലും  പര്‍വ്വതം കയറിയിറങ്ങുവനുള്ള കഴിവ് നല്‍കുന്നു...
അതാണ്‌ അവന്റെ  കാരുണ്യം..
പരമാനന്ദത്തിന്റെ ഉറവിടമായ ആ മാധവനെ ആ കൃഷ്ണനെ  ഞാന്‍ വന്ദിക്കുന്നു.
വല്ലപ്പോഴും എങ്കിലും  എന്റെ യഥാര്‍ത്ഥ ഉടയോനെ പുകഴ്ത്തട്ടെ

allergies of Lakshmi

मूर्खो यत्र न पूज्यन्ते धान्यं यत्र सुसञ्जितं। 

दम्पत्यो कलहो नास्ति तत्र श्री स्वयमागता।। 

moorkho yathra na poojyanthey dhaanyam yathra susajjitham

dampathyo kalaho naasthy tattra sree swayamaagathaa 

chanakya neethi

where the arrogant and idiotic people are not honoured, where food grains are well stored, where there is absence of constant quarrel between husband and wife, the goddess of wealth Lakshmi resides there on her own.

remember the allergies of goddess of wealth---idiocy and arrogance in people, lack of proper care for food grains, and constant bickering amongst couples.

മൂര്‍ഖോ യത്ര ന പൂജ്യന്തേ ധാന്യം യത്ര സുസജ്ജിതം

ദമ്പത്യോ കലഹോ നാസ്തി തത്ര ശ്രീ സ്വയമാഗതാ
ചാനക്യനീതി.

ക്രൂരന്മാരും അഹങ്കാരികളും ബഹുമാനിക്കപ്പെടാത്ത സ്ഥലങ്ങളിലും
ധാന്യങ്ങള്‍ നിറഞ്ഞുകവിയുകയും, ആഹാരസാധനങ്ങള്‍ വേണ്ടത്ര ലഭ്യമാവുകയും  ചെയ്യുന്നിടത്തും
ഭര്‍ത്താവും ഭാര്യയും തല്ലു കൂടാതെ ജീവിക്കുന്ന വീടുകളിലും 
ലക്ഷ്മീദേവി സ്വയം എഴുന്നള്ളുന്നു.

thank you death you are the truth

To  enable me move in this twilight
Heaven, show me a little sheet of  light
Lead me from the twilight to the black hole
To a heavenly niche for me again to be whole
Lost am I here sans friends sans peace
Never to find here any hearty solace
With hopes and faith  and love  I built the bright piece
Sobbing hapless stand I  before a crumbling edifice
The larger the mansion I have  built up on faith
The wider it opens its lap for me to slumber in death.
Thank you death, you are the truth.

Bharthruhari

wearing fitting and gemstudded bracelets, 
ornamental chains shining like the moon itself adorning the bosom, ceremonial bath, 
unguents, 
decoration with rare and beautiful flowers 
or 
ornamentation of the tuft with  great efforts and spectacular effects
 ---
such artificial embellishments of a man will not fetch  any permanent glory, beauty or glamour to a man. 
However if the only civilized language which is known as refined (Samskritham) adorns fills to the brim the minds and thought and words of a man, he is the  one who is really decorated. 
 The artificial trinkets get decayed and dilapidated with the passage of time, however the ornament in the shape of good erudition always remains with him

In fact  the ornaments mentioned above may give the wearer  the look of a tinsel hero in a puranic film... but what  more?

രത്നം പതിച്ച കൈവളകളോ നിലാവിനെപ്പോലെ വെട്ടിത്തിളങ്ങുന്ന മാലകളോ ഒരാള്‍ക്ക്‌ യഥാര്‍ത്ഥ അലങ്കാരമാവുകയില്ല.

അണിഞ്ഞതു കൊണ്ടോ  വിശേഷരൂപങ്ങളിലും ഭാവങ്ങളിലും  തലമുടി കെട്ടിവച്ചതുകൊണ്ടോ  ഒരാളുടെ ആകര്‍ഷണീയത വളരെയൊന്നും കൂടാന്‍ പോകുന്നില്ല.

പക്ഷേ അയാള്‍  സംസാരിക്കുന്നതും ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നതും  സംസ്കാരത്തിന്റെ ഉന്നതി പ്രകടമാക്കുന്ന (സംസ്കൃതത്തിലുള്ള) വാക്കുകളാണ്  എങ്കില്‍ അതാണ്‌ അയാളുടെ ഏറ്റവും  ഉചിതമായ  അലങ്കാരം.
മറ്റു ആടയാഭരണങ്ങളും അലങ്കാരങ്ങളും  കാലം കഴിയുമ്പോള്‍ പ്രാധാന്യം ഇല്ലതവയായിത്തീരും..
പക്ഷെ  നല്ല വാക്കുകള്‍ പ്രയോഗിക്കാനുള്ള കഴിവ് എന്ന  ആഭരണം  ഒരു മനുഷ്യന്റെ ഒരിക്കലും ചേതം പറ്റാത്ത  അലങ്കാരമായി നിലനില്‍ക്കും

യഥാര്‍ത്ഥ സൌന്ദര്യം വാക്കുകളില്‍ ആണ്.. അതും സംസ്കൃതത്തില്‍ ആയാല്‍ പിന്നെ പറയാനുമില്ല. 

Fwd: inherent lustre

: inherent lustre

यस्य नैसर्गिकी शोभा तन्न संस्कारमर्हति
कःकलां शशिनो मर्ष्ठि कौस्स्तुभःकेन रज्यते।

yasya naisarghikee shobha tad na samskaram arhathi
kah kalaam saisno marshthi, kaustubhah kena rajyathey

an object which has inherent lustre (greatness) will not require further embellishments to make it presentable or marketable. nobody travels to moon to clean its surface, nor anybody tries to polish the Kaustuba gem adorning the bosom of Krishna.
I think the modern marketing pundits will not entirely agree. Window dressing and packaging are part of their promotion drives... they will better try to polish a metallic piece to such perfection that it sells in the market as lunar crescent and with a grinding stone and a more grinding tongue they may market a pebble as the original Kaustubham and also make people believe that Krishna in his austerity drive has already sent his prime gem for auction

ko athibhaarah samarthaanaam kim dooram vyavasaayinam
ko videshah savidhyaanaam, kah parah priyavaadhinaam
attributed to Chanakya 

For an efficient person,  no burden would be excessive.. 
For an industrious person, no distance would seem challenging
For an educated and skilled person,  no land would seem foreign or alien land
and 
For a person who would talk with others with empathy and softness,  there could be no enemies.

കോ അതിഭാരഃ സമര്‍ത്ഥാനാം കിം ദൂരം വ്യവസായിനാം

ചാണക്യന്‍

നല്ല കഴിവും നൈപുണ്യവും ഉള്ള ആള്‍ക്ക്  ഒന്നും ഒരു ഭാരമല്ല
പരിശ്രമം ശീലമാക്കിയവന്  ദൂരം ഒരു പ്രശ്നമല്ല 

നല്ലവണ്ണം  പഠിച്ചവന്  ഒരു നാടും വിദേശം ആവില്ല
നല്ലത് നല്ലതരത്തില്‍ പറയുന്നവന്  ഒരു ശത്രുവും ഉണ്ടാവില്ല.


how can there be excessive burden of work for the really efficient and clever (they will manage it to put it on the heads of less efficient subordinates and threaten to give adverse ACRS) what would distance count for businessmen (they would simply migrate to the remotest corner of the world once they swindle sufficient funds from others...not even the set of most efficient astrologers, nor CBI or Scotland Yard and the hawks of the IRS can ever spot them for their life afterwards) for the really educated, there cannot be any foreign countries ( in practice smugglers and international thugs are the most learned) and who can be an enemy to a man who has the gift of the gab ( we all know chamchagiri is the best profession, manthara, iago and a long queue of them with some of us at the other end of the queue will prove this.)

Fwd: life as gita perceives it

सुख दुःखौ समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ 

ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्यं न त्वम् पापमवाप्स्यसि 

भगवद्गीता

sukha dukhau samey kritwaa laabhaalaahau jayaa ajayau

thato yudhdhay yujyaswa na twam paapam avapsyasi

 gita

without considering the consequences of the war, whether it will be victory unto you or otherwise, whether it will be comfortable to you or not, whether it will bring profit to you or loss, or whether it will end in your victory or capitulation, you prepare for the war, because it is your bounden duty, and no sin will visit you for this proper action.

this is the essence of geetha, conveyed also in Kramanyey.....

It takes a real character to advise this and a still tougher character to follow it.. These are the Krishna and Arjuna for you

Substitute the idea of war to any other enterprise and there is the lifes science for you even without Carnegie Covey Chopra and many others.

रत्नैर् महाब्धेः तुतुषुर्न देवाः

ratnair mahaabdhey tututshurna devaah na bhejirey bheemavishena bheethim
sudhhaam vinaa na prayayaur viraamam na nischitharthat viramanthi dheeraah

when we set our eyes on a target, there should be no second thoughts and we should not be content with the second best by products of our attempts. In the history of churning the Oceans for amrutha or the producer of eternal youth, this is evident. The Devaas set out for the amrutha.. First, the churning of the milk ocean brought out great, invaluable gems..some of the minions took them away but the devas were not satisfied. Then came the calamity of the churning rope, the great snake vasuki vomiting the killer poison halahala, (usually second step in investigation) then the devas did not run away in fear (they found a calm sage of a God Lord Siva to drink all the poison...the poor guy was very kind but had his wife not managed to fix the poison on his throat itself and not allowed it to go down he would have attained martyrdom, it is a different story) . The devas stopped only when they got the nectar ultimately (thank god, they were not Income taxmen, if it were so they would have continued to churn up facts and more fiction and they would have confiscated the gems, consumed the poison without any ill effects --they were the better candidates than siva for no poison ever kills the source itself-- and seized the ambrosia and with notices for additional demands dried up the milky ocean and even put the owner of the ocean lord krishna to civil prison.) The moral of the story is that the really bold people do not stop until the ultimate goal is reached

one has to ask himself the following questions very often (and answer to himself)
in which country or area of earth i live?( even people living in the remotes corners of this beautiful land are caught by the foreign spirit and sometimes behave as if they are in manhattan or buffalo)
who are my friends?(this is a vital question, the best friend is likely to be the one who may remove your loincloth and bolt before you wink twice)
is the time appropriate? (timing sense is a gift, one need not fatten the pocket of an astrologer or soothsayer)
what are my sources of income and expenditure? ( this is for ones own reference, necessarily not to tell the incometax officer)
who in fact am I ?(most of us do not know either in the physical sense or spiritual context)

Lakshmi, meaning  one's wealth can be kept in her place only  if you have a disciplined tongue . ( Nice words can bring  prosperity.  But Loose and indiscrete talk can make one a beggar)

 Friends and relatives can be retained well only if you use your tongue properly  (If one uses bad words to family and relatives,  his existence is doomed to misery)

One can end up in captivity or imprisonment by  misusing the tongue

 ( Using words at wrong time and in the wrong place can land us on the wrong side of the law and can even find us in jail 

 And the tip of the tongue can cause even death for  us (either foolish words or foolish foods)

സുഹൃത്തുക്കളും ബന്ധുക്കളും നമ്മുടെ നാവിന്‍ തുമ്പത്താണ് ( കുടുംബത്തെയും ബന്ധുക്കളെയും  ചീത്ത വിളിച്ചുകൊണ്ടെയിരുന്നാല്‍ നമ്മുടെ ജീവിതം ദുസ്സഹമാവും. തിരിഞ്ഞുനോക്കാന്‍ ആരും ഉണ്ടാവില്ല )

നാവിന്‍തുമ്പു കൊണ്ട് നാം ബന്ധനത്തില്‍ പെട്ടുവെന്നു വരും.  (വിവരക്കേടും ചീത്തയായവയും മറ്റുള്ളവര്‍ക്ക് അപകടം വരുത്തുന്ന തരത്തിലുള്ള  വാക്കുകളും പ്രയോഗിച്ചാല്‍  നാം ജയിലില്‍ എത്തിപ്പെടാം )

മനുഷ്യന്റെ മരണവും നാവിന്‍ തുമ്പില്‍ തന്നെയാണ്

(അബദ്ധജടിലങ്ങളും  അനവസരത്തില്‍  ഉള്ളവയും ആയ വാക്കുകളും,  ആരോഗ്യത്തിനു ഹാനികരമായ  ഭക്ഷണങ്ങളും.. രണ്ടും.. നമ്മെ മരണത്തിലേക്ക് തള്ളിവിടും )

Oh my dear friend chataka bird,  for a moment, please listen to my words with careful attention.   There are many types of clouds appearing in the sky and all are not alike. Some clouds fill the earth with bountiful rains but some just remain in their place making futile roars.  So please do not approach everyone you see and  unravel your tale of woe

The chathaka is a mythological bird and it is believed that its throat is cut and hence can drink water through its upturned open beaks, from the raindrops   that fall direct on earth straight from the cloud in the  sky during rain.

 So  whenever it sights a cloud in the sky it starts making a pitiable cry as if begging for water from the cloud.
 The poet advises the bird not to cry for drops of water to every cloud.  Clouds are many and are dissimilar in character. 
Some really pour as rain on the earth  making it fertile but some other clouds  just remain there in high skies and make
 roaring announcements by way of thunder but   never pouring rain to  help the bird.

The poet's advice is also directed to people who, in their misery, try to approach every person of note with their tales of woe in the hope of redressal of their grievances. Some really good people respond positively and would give  some help also. But others (like the grievance redressal forums  in government offices or the loud mouthed politicians) just make reassuring  promises that would never be kept.

പ്രിയ മിത്രമേ, വേഴാമ്പല്‍ പക്ഷീ, ഞാന്‍ പറയുന്നത്  കുറച്ചു നേരത്തേക്കെങ്കിലും ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചു കേള്‍ക്കൂ. 
 ആകാശത്തില്‍  എത്രയോ വ്യത്യസ്ഥ ഗുണങ്ങളും  നിറങ്ങളും ഉള്ള മേഘങ്ങള്‍ ഒത്തിരി  പ്രത്യക്ഷപ്പെട്ടും പിന്നെ മറഞ്ഞുകൊണ്ടും ഇരിക്കും.  അവയെല്ലാം  ഗുണത്തില്‍ ഒരുപോലെ ഉള്ളവയല്ലല്ലോ.   മഴമേഘങ്ങളായി കറുത്തിരുണ്ട്‌ നില്‍ക്കുന്ന  ചില മേഘങ്ങള്‍  ധാരാളം മഴ പൊഴിഞ്ഞ്  ഭൂമിയെ സന്തോഷവും സമൃദ്ധിയും കൊണ്ട് നിറയ്ക്കുന്നു.   പക്ഷെ പലേ മേഘങ്ങളും  ആകാശത്തില്‍ ഉയരെ നിന്ന് കൊണ്ട്  ഉച്ചത്തില്‍  ഇടിവെട്ടുന്നതുപോലുള്ള ശബ്ടകോലാഹലങ്ങള്‍ മാത്രം സൃഷ്ടിച്ച് ആര്‍ക്കും ഒരു പ്രയോജനവും ഇല്ലാതെ   മാറിപ്പോകുന്നു.
  വേഴാമ്പലേ, നിന്‍റെ സ്ഥിരം  പരിപാടി ആകാശത്തില്‍ ഉരുണ്ടുകൂടുന്ന എല്ലാ മേഘങ്ങളെയും നോക്കി വെള്ളത്തുള്ളികള്‍ക്കുവേണ്ടി   ചുണ്ടും പിളര്‍ത്തിപ്പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്  യാചിക്കുക എന്നതാണല്ലോ.
  അങ്ങിനെ എല്ലാവരോടും  നിന്‍റെ കഥനകഥകള്‍ ഉരുവിട്ട്  ഭിക്ഷ എടുക്കേണ്ട ആവശ്യമുണ്ടോ.?
 ഏതു മേഘം പോഴിയുമോ  അതിനോട് മാത്രം വെള്ളത്തുള്ളികള്‍ക്ക് വേണ്ടി അപേക്ഷിച്ചാല്‍ പോരെ ?.

 

വേഴാമ്പല്‍, അതായത് പുരാണങ്ങളിലെ ചാതകപ്പക്ഷിക്ക്   വെള്ളം കുടിച്ചു ദാഹം തീര്‍ക്കാന്‍ വലിയ പ്രയാസമാണത്രെ.  അതിന്‍റെ തൊണ്ടയില്‍ ഒരു ദ്വാരം ഉണ്ടെന്നും,  സാധാരണ ഗതിയില്‍ കൊക്ക് താഴ്തിപ്പിടിച്ചു വെള്ളം  കുടിച്ചാല്‍  ആ വെള്ളമെല്ലാം തൊണ്ടയിലെ ദ്വാരത്തിലൂടെ പുറത്തേക്ക് ഒഴുകിപ്പോകും  എന്നും ആണ് വിശ്വസിക്കപ്പെടുന്നത്.
 അതിനാല്‍ എപ്പോഴും വേഴാമ്പല്‍ ദാഹത്തോടെ വെള്ളവും കാത്തിരിക്കുകയാണ്.  അതിനു കുടിക്കാനുള്ള വെള്ളം  ആകാശത്തില്‍ ഉരുണ്ടുകൂടിയിരിക്കുന്ന മേഘങ്ങള്‍  വര്‍ഷിക്കുമ്പോള്‍  അതിന്‍റെ ഉയര്‍ത്തിപ്പിടിച്ച കൊക്കില്‍ വീഴുന്ന  തുള്ളികള്‍ മാത്രമായിരിക്കും  
 അതുകൊണ്ട്  ആകാശത്തില്‍ ഏതു മേഘം അനങ്ങുന്നത് കണ്ടാലും വേഴാമ്പല്‍  മാനം നോക്കി സ്വന്തം ഗതികേട് ഉരുവിട്ടെന്ന  തരത്തില്‍  ഉറക്കെ കരയും.. വെള്ളം തരണേ  എന്ന്  യാചിക്കുന്നതു പോലെ.

   
കവി  വേഴാമ്പലിനോടു ഓര്‍മ്മപ്പെത്തുകയാണ്.   മുകളില്‍ കാണുന്ന  എല്ലാ മേഘങ്ങളെയും വിളിച്ചു കരഞ്ഞിട്ടു കാര്യമില്ല.
 മഴമേഘങ്ങള്‍ മാത്രമേ  കനിയുകയുള്ളൂ. 
മറ്റുള്ള  ഒരുപാടു മേഘങ്ങള്‍ തലതിരിച്ചു   കരച്ചില്‍ ഒന്നും ശ്രദ്ധിക്കാതെ   തങ്ങളുടെ പാട്ടിനു പോകും

അത് പോലെ തന്നെ,  ഭൂമിയില്‍ ധാരാളം മനുഷ്യര്‍ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിലും   കഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്ന ആളുകള്‍ അവരോടെല്ലാം സഹായം അഭ്യര്‍ത്ഥിച്ചിട്ട് വലിയ കാര്യമൊന്നും ഇല്ല.   നന്മയും  കനിവും ഉള്ളവരോട് മാത്രം സഹായം തേടുന്നതാണ് നല്ലത് 

what is poison

अनभ्यासेविषं विद्या अजीर्णेभोजनं विषं। विषं गोष्ठी दरिद्रस्य भोजनान्ते जलं विषम् ।।
anaabhyaase visham vidhya ajeerney bhojanam visham goshtee daridrasya bhjananthe jalam visham
അനാഭ്യാസേ വിഷം വിദ്യാ അജീര്ണേ ഭോജനം വിഷം വിഷം ഗോഷ്ഠീ ദരിദ്രസ്യ ഭോജനാന്തേ ജലം വിഷം chanakya neethi
for a person not properly trained mere education can prove to be poison, for one suffering from indigestion further consumption food can become poisonous, for the poor fellow company of very rich people can prove disastrous like poison, and drinking of excessive water after a full meal also have the disadvantageous effect of poison.

education without proper development of working skills can kill, excessive food for one suffering from indigestion cannot be good, when a poor guy lands up in the gang of rich and unruly men he will be suffering humiliation and even physical assault, and when we drink excessive quantities of water after heavy food the digestive juices get diluted and the food already consumed cannot get absorbed in the body properly

an apology

sirs, I prepared many emails and forwarded to you all, but when I took stock of the messages, I have committed spelling errors in every mail... may be it is the reason that my right eye is getting affected by cataract and also because most of the things are composed at about two o clock in the morning.  I have no time slot except this.  Please bear with my spelling devils.. I am further a left hander and the fingering often confuses me

crow is not cuckoo

the crow is black in colour and  so also black is cuckoo.

  when the spring arrives the crow is crow and the cuckoo is cuckoo

till the arrival of spring the birds have not much to sing and they are hardly heard... most of the sound we hear till then will be the crowing of the crow. the crow and the cuckoo are in their infancy strange lookalikes and the mother cuckoo even commits the deceit of laying her eggs in the nest of a mother crow who hatches the baby cuckoo thinking it also as her own offspring. But by the arrival of the spring season the cuckoo baby gains enough strength to fly and she soars in the skies to sing  her heavenly notes.  The poor crow can only make its usual crowing noises... Similarity in form can be deceptive...at the proper time the quality shows.
