Fred baba thanks for the proverbs....but I tell you the beauty of these
proverbs is using them....I have not seen any of the goanet writers using
them... though English translations are provided..the only writer who i have
seen using these proverbs in his articles is A.Veronica......you bet Mario
or Merwyn can use them in their USA debates...:)
I myself have tried to compile these proverbs from goanet and posted them
on my blogspot...this is my 8 years of compilations and ofcourse additions
which I heard......you can see them http://edskantaram.blogspot.com/
Fred let me see now if you can make use of these proverbs in your articles
and keep our maim bhas up!
Padriche sermao lokak..:)
Dev borem korum!
