Think big, be conscious of reality


The moment someone starts thinking that he is the biggest is the moment he starts to become small.

O nanna gelaya - Kannada poem

Image
Posted on Facebook on Jan 4th 2018. After a very long time attempted to write a Kannada poem based on a demand from my nephew. For those who don't understand Kannada, find below the English version and a rough translation. Thanks to Rekha Anoop for the motivation and handwriting. Dedicated to all such friends.
