Online Children's Magazine from India
Nasruddin Hodja ferrying a scholar across a river said something ungrammatical to him.
"Have you never studied grammar?" asked the scholar.
"No," said Hodja.
"Then half your life has been wasted," said the scholar looking pityingly at him.
Sometime later Hodja turned to his passenger.
"Have you ever learnt to swim?" he asked.
"No," said the scholar.
"Then your whole life has been wasted," said Hodja. "We're sinking."
Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
