Hello Ankur, Yes, you are right, i may write a better one on the same topic since there is always room for improvement...but i kind of like this one. As for "filled with what"...there is an interesting proverb in Punjabi which might explain what its filled with.I hope its legible in english, "Sir ai kay tobhara ai?"..."Sir" is the punjabi word for head.The word "tobhara" stands for "the broken lower half of a water pot (Matka)".The kind which is made of clay and used commonly in villages.Since the broken half is useless for carrying water, people often use it as a dustbin i.e. they put all the trash in it.
In English the proverb would go somewhat like this "Is that a head on your shoulders or a Trashcan?" Now this proverb is often used for those who refuse to use their heads when there is need of it,yet still persist in thinking of themselves as someone very special.Most snobs are like that...their heads are so full of nonsense and trash concerning their own selves that it becomes a "tobhara".And funnily enough most snobs think its a very special tobhara, so they hold it high for all to see... I hope you understand the explanation i've given. Thankyou, Farah. --- In [email protected], ankur prahlad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nice one, but filled with what? Think on this.
