Chandanda, your query in regard to the Oxomiya book " Mati aru Manuh " reminds me of a Oxomiya kobita , I read during my early school years.I don't know the name of the poet nor do I remember all the stanzas of the same.I vaguely remember a few lines , which are as follows: " MATIR MANUH MATIT MILIBO DHUN PES KEO KORISE LAGIBO MISA GORBO MISA OBHIMAN MORILEY XOKOLU XOMAN SMOXANEI JOLONTO PROMAN"
