The Merrymen - Feeling Hot Hot Hot

Today let's give Sanskrit a local flavor.

Malaysians! I am sure most of you know the Malay proverb that goes "Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas"(He who eats the chili feels the heat)

We can make this into a Sanskrit proverb too!

To keep a language alive we need to let it evolve and imbibe local cultures and scenario.

Mostly Sanskrit is very much "stuck" in the realm of religion and philosophy etc and everyone wants to get very holy with it.

By being too holy in a language we fail to allow it evolve and before you know it no one uses it!

Ok..so how do we say "Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas" in Sanskrit?

The answer is यः मरिचं खादति सः तीक्ष्णं अनुभवति (yaH maricaM khAdati saH tIkSNaM anubhavati)

There you go Feeling  HOT HOT HOT!
