Snippets

One person’s freedom ends where the next person’s freedom begins.

Education that fails to encourage students to raise questions can’t be expected to produce original minds.They knew that great nations were built by original minds.

How palmistry began? (Imaginary)

Long long ago but not so long ago there were two close friends. They studied together under the guidance of a Guru. The guru was a wise old man. He was a man of few words. But he was highly respected in the community for the value of his words. In the course of time both the friends completed their education. They had learnt various sciences,history, arts, economics so on and so forth. But still they both had a question in their mind which was bothering them.They were waiting for the right time to get an answer to this question from their Guru.

Palindromes

Here is the list of palindromes i have collected from ಕನ್ನಡ. I wanted the topic to be in kannada. But I could not get a word in kannada that is equivalent to palindrome.

ಮಧ್ಯಮ
ಗುಡುಗು
ನಮನ
ಸುರಿಸು
ಸಮಾಸ
ಕಟುಕ
ಕುಟುಕು
ಟೊಮೇಟೊ
ನವೀನ
ಗದಗ
ಜಲಜ
ಸಮೋಸ
ಸರಸ
ಕನಕ
ನಯನ
ಚಮಚ
ಕಿಟಕಿ
ವಿಕಟಕವಿ
ಕುಬೇರನಿಗೆನಿರಬೇಕು

And here is a list of palindromes I have created....

ನವಜೀವನ
ಜನುಮದಲಿಒಲಿದಮನುಜ
ನವಭವನ
ಬಾಳುಬಾ
ನದಿಯ ತೀರದಿ ರತೀಯ ದಿನ
ಮಗ ಮಾಸದಂತದಿ ತಂದ ಸಮಾಗಮ

and not so good ones from me

ಸುಕಾಲಕಾಸು
ಸುರಿಬಾರಿಸು
ಬದವಡಬ
ದಿನಗೂಲಿಗೂನದಿ
ಸುರಿಸು ಗದಗದ ನವೀನ ದಗದಗ ಸುರಿಸು
