LANGUAGES

Languages breathe in civilisations, cultures and traditions. Origins of human civilisations thrived on prosperity of the five senses namely; sight, smell, taste, feel and speech. The best way a human expresses with liberty most in the power of expression via speech, is languages.

Here, we shall focus on languages of all regions that may be covered with nuanced manner to show not only how rich they are but how profound an expression can emanate from the voice box of a human being. It is fascinating and I have been enamoured by the fact that ancient texts on leaves, hierlyoglyphics etc., could voice the expressions that originated in Indian, Egyptian, Aboriginal and till the modern civilisations, of today.

Indian languages and dialects have forms that cover comprehensively the geography of the subcontinent with the fount bearing strong origins in Sanskrit. Rightly called mother of all languages, Sanskrit found a latitudinal and longitudinal transformation over the Indian subcontinent giving diversity to human expression via the most boneless part of human physiology –  the tongue.

So saying, tongue-in-cheek, one may meander in the richness of languages that all can understand with English being the chosen medium of expression but we shall meander as we are supposed to do so during the subject concourse; to explore, unearth and probably fail or pass the state of communication that powers human expression – Languages.

Musingsnothings!

Nothing – just for You! 

Nothing did you ask of me. 

And nothing do I gift thee. 

Nothing but these lines. 

Nothing but some aromatic brew. 

Nothing that occludes the Sun. 

Nothing to mar life’s fun. 

Nothing but pure joy

Nothing but a new toy. 

Nothing but peace of mind. 

Nothing of that daily grind. 

Nothing but happiness around. 

Nothing but health, sound. 

Nothing but a merry gang of friends

Nothing that ever ends. 

Nothing that will spoil your day

Nothing that NO you need to say. 

Nothing that doesn’t let you sleep

Nothing ever that makes you weep. 

Nothing that ever makes you sad

Nothing that for your health is bad. 

Nothing indeed can I add to the list. 

Nothing, exactly like you did insist! 

So, 

Nothing it is, as per your wish.

Nothing but beautiful memories to cherish.
