Just look at the complete concave crater !
How persistent the wind should be !
It reminds me of this quotation by Calvin Coolidge
How persistent the wind should be !
It reminds me of this quotation by Calvin Coolidge
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan “Press On” has solved and
always will solve the problems of the human race."
Note: This is a rock in Horsley Hills which is situated in the Southern part AP.
A place with wonderful climate and the highlight is there is no other entertainment
except nature walks and bird watching

Hello Pria..
My dad and I went around looking for birds and found a few beautiful ones....but we were so busy trying to get their names that we did'nt take any snap :(
but wild hens were there everywhere and another common one is the 'patridges'.
Will try to get some pic in my next visit :)

isn't persistence a second word for nagging?
Hey Ankur,
isn't persistence a second word for nagging? //
yes..but the applicability is selective.
It seems like nagging to the ones who shirk responsibility :P
good one sree :)
There is a couplet by a poet from the Bhakti era who said-
Karat karat abhyas ke jadmati hoat sujan,
rasri awat jat se sil par parat nishan.
[The rope that rubs against the rock in a well leaves a mark on the rock, and likewise even an idiot will find wisdom with practice and perseverance.]
Very good post Sree.

[A rock can be eroded by a steady traffic of ants ]

Oh the rest of the comment was cut off while cutting pasting..sorry paa...

hi sri,
Let me add a quote from our thiruvalluvar thaatha (oh he is also thiru?! could be I am his reincarnation! lol)
"Oozhayum uppakkam kaanbar uzhaivindri thaazh aatrubavar"
(bear with any typo error in the above couplet)
meaning, one can overcome fate if she/he works hard with perseverance.
Although I agree with second half of this couplet, I can't accept the first half wherein Thiruvalluvar endorses fate.
A good post sri.
SAHASRA
Hi Sahasra...

Hello Thiru
(oh he is also thiru?! could be I am his reincarnation! lol)//
Idhaney venaangaradhu =))
kadaisila avara kooda vittu vaikala :))
enna kooda oru politician ( u know how they are against sankrit names, rt) 'thiru' nnu dhaan kindala koopiduvaar :) adhukaaga naan enna avalo kammiyaaa =))
Thiru...enakku adhu english la avalava pronounce panna varala..
thirukuralla enga irukunnu sonna eduthuduven !
But the meaning is very good.
Although I agree with second half of this couplet, I can't accept the first half wherein Thiruvalluvar endorses fate.//
I think u r misinterpretting what he is trying to say. He is not endorsing fate , I think he means "any obstacles can be overcome".
I belive so. I feel with perserverance , even the strongest of tide against us can be won over .
A good post sri. //
thank u :)
amaam , unga blog pakkam poyee evalo naal aachu ?
From ur posts,I guessed u might be a lawyer or a law student...but this post made me ask u abt ur career...
I was from biology background, but trying to cope up with compu geeks for a s/w job...
Hi Sahasra...
this post made me ask u abt ur career...//
ok :) I am a struggling lawyer :)
I was from biology background, but trying to cope up with compu geeks for a s/w job... //
good luck , Sahasra ! I hope u land a great job !
Thank U,Sree..
I wish the same for U.
hey sri
//Thiru...enakku adhu english la avalava pronounce panna varala..
thirukuralla enga irukunnu sonna eduthuduven!
But the meaning is very good.//
I could not find in net. I extracted from my memory and wrote, if I can get hold of mykural book I can point it out. It could be in Oozh vinai or vida muyrarchi kind of stuff.
//I think u r misinterpretting what he is trying to say.//
I dont think so. Catch hold of the kural in tamil, explore and come back if you still believe so.
Hello Thiru..
thanks for pointing it..
poyee thirukural eduthu paakaren.
I will check if he means 'fate' or 'obstacle' :)
Paravailliyey , kural ellam nyabhagam vechi irukeengaley :)
enakku therija onnu
"inna seidharai oruthal avar
naana nanayam seidhuvidal" :)
dont ask me if I follow it :P
hey sri
//enakku therija onnu
"inna seidharai oruthal avar
naana nanayam seidhuvidal" :)
dont ask me if I follow it :P//
In Madras baashai it sounds like...
"innaabaa seithaaru avaru, oruthabaa
nannaa naiya pudaithu anupivachikira"
-chennailolluvar
may be you should try following this!
Hey Thiru
Akaan baaaa !!
