UTTER THE USEFUL
DON'T EVEN UTTER A WORD
WHICH IS NOT USEFUL
[ SOLLUGA SOLLIL PAYANUDAYA SOLLARKA
SOLLIL PAYANILLA SOL - THIRUKURAL BY THIRUVALLUVAR]
A great utterance Samanyan...we need such poetic reminders...thanks for translating it for us
True, The famous Tamil Poet Thiruvalluvar said many things like this in couplets and this one you have brought out nicely in three lines here..
well said, and that makes me to search for useful words....
It’s indeed wise…wise only knows when not to say… Ten+ Ms. Nivedita UK
