"Uxtea hatan kanvleak ambuddtolo"....Konkani Proverb One who drives away crows by the hand which he has taken his meals. Goans dine with bare fingers, naturally some of the food sticks to their hand; if crows are driven away by that hand some of the food particles will fall down, n the crows instead of going away will come to pick up the grains. This means that the man does good by intending to do harm.
There is also another proverb in the same lines... Uxtea hatan kanvlo aambdina"....Konkani Proverb A man does not like to drive away the crow when his hands are covered with food particles, being afraid that one of the food grains may fall down and attract the crow.... This is refered to some selfish men who never does an act of charity. Edward Verdes Chinchinim/Mumbai/KSA _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
