Vedham Pudhidhu.....
This from my memory about the conversation between Satyaraj and the small boy in the movie “vedham pudhidhu”..appadiye nacchinu irukkum..hope most of them might seen that movie..
Still a flash back..
While crossing river the boys asks Satyaraj to tell some story..for that Satyaraj narrates an old story ..as below
There was a Sanskrit scholar, who, while crossing the river, had the
following interesting conversation with the boatman:
Scholar, "Have you read Ramayana?"
Boatman, "No sir. I struggle to fill my stomach. I have not read
Ramayana."
Scholar, "One quarter of your life is wasted, if you have not
read Ramayana."
The Boatman heart this and continued to row the boat.
Scholar, "OK. Have you at least read Mahabharata?"
Boatman smiled again and said, "No."
Scholar, "Yet another quarter of your life is wasted if you have
not read Mahabharata."
As the Boatman remained silent and continued to row the boat, the
arrogant scholar, asked, "How about Sanskrit – do you know
Sanskrit?"
Boatman, "No Sir."
Scholar, "One further quarter of your life is wasted because you
are not exposed to Sanskrit."
The Boatman saw that the scholar did not understand his position and
hence continued to row his boat. Suddenly, as the boat was right in
middle of the river, the boatman realized that water was seeping
into the boat through a hole. Immediately, the Boatman asked the
Scholar, "Oh! Sir, do you happen to know Swimming?"
Scholar, "Why? I don't know swimming."
The Boatman said, "Oh! How sad – your full life is
wasted."
Both (Satyaraj n the boy)starts laughing ..then Satyaraj says to the boy
Jathi,madham ellam summa perukku olagathula only one jathi athu thaan manitha jathi..
Again following conversation starts between them
Boy: unga peruu enna?
Satyaraj :Balu Thevar
Boy:Balu unga peru... Thevar enna needga padichi vangana pattama????????????????????
Satyaraj : ( ku palar palar nu adicha mari irukkum)
Boy:Nan kara yerittein..neenga eppo yera poreenga….
