Hark to the whimper of the sea-gull; He weeps because he's not an ea-gull.
Suppose you were, you silly sea-gull, Could you explain it to your she-gull?

HIROO:

> Good to find that you have so much interest in Bhagwad Geeta!<

==I have much interest in Indian culture so the above is just natural
consequence.  : )

: ))) Any more Taureans here?

It is a pity I can never be Taurus, but still I like Cows. <

== I am not sure I can catch your meaning...

> Middle aged women are notoriously reluctant to disclose their age. Sorry!
There are only young women and old women, no middle-aged women! Sorry again!
There are women and young women - no middle-aged women or old women!<

== The truth is that women are young, middle-aged, and old at the same time.
No wonder you are confused, then.  : ))

MC GUPTA:

>Don't worry about the future,
Don't about the past you grieve,
You can only shape the present,
In the present you must live.

[How do you like that? Probably not bad for instant
composition!]<

== Not bad!  : )
Indeed, this thought has often been expressed in this forum. And it seems to
be deeply rooted in Indian philosophy [if such a category does exist], even
if there are many substrata of that.
A far as the second "don't" is concerned, there is a great poem by Adam
Asnyk, a Polish poet from the beginning of the 20th century. I quote a part
of it. As I am not capable of translating verse, let it be just an example
for you of what the strange language of Poles looks like.  : ))

"Daremne zale, prózny trud,
bezsilne zlorzeczenia,
przezytych ksztaltów zaden cud
Nie wróci do istnienia.

Trzeba z zywymi naprzód isc,
Po  zycie siegac nowe,
A nie w uwiedlych laurów lisc
Z uporem stroic glowe."

TAHER:

> This is a famous ghazal, sung by Jagjit Singh for a movie.
And, by the way, your Hindi IS improving.<

== To be frank I must say that I took most of that from a phrase book, just
changed an element or two. But I also try and work on my own. Unfortunately
there is the generally experienced problem of time. And using the dictionary
is a challenge - entries are in the Devanagari script, transliteration
follows in the second place.
So still a whole lot of work ahead of me!  : )



Best,

Anna.
