What do the words hint? Look at the reason. I am Kedar. How much I shall cry, you will not lend me your ears with this mere identity. From this, I have understood 'we' are more important than I am. I am "a responsible citizen" of this planet. Identity changed for a while. With the new identity, I have every right to put forward my views and you are required to listen to it. We have the key. You have the lock. Let us all open it and find 'treasure of answers'. "Sanskrit" is considered the oldest and the eldest language of the world. The 'Vedas', which has occupied a very important place in the world literature, is in Sanskrit. It is not only the religious epic of Hindu Aryans but also of the whole world community. The magic of phonology has impressed me.

I want to compare this very small information as Quarks in a molecule. The whole molecule is left to be proposed- a riddle for the human to solve. In this case, I think we should squeeze the base and move towards the apex. We have scattered information about our development and existence like particles of an atom. Analysing each of them, we are to propose the real structure of a molecule (a theory of the development of our civilization). Are we the branches of the same tree? If yes, then why are we cutting the joint of unity slowly? Is this a progress? Darwinism hints that the apes/monkeys were our ancestors. In contrast, Hinduism says we are the descendants of Manu (very ancient sage). This can

be the reason why we are called the 'Man' not 'monkey'? MANUMAN. This is just a view. If this is the coincidence and we are the descendants of a monkey, why is there a monkey now while we have turned into a man? Evolution will certainly not discriminate between the same organism, changing some monkeys into us and leaving some as same for such a long time. At last, I want to end with the 3rd stanza of my own poem "Books and Blinds" to conclude and to explain in few words what I want to say. Leaving many, we make haste, We've challenged god, lost the human taste. "Quark", we skylarks quack, Sudden life in non-life, neither we know nor we ask. ------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------© Kedar Ghimire 2003 By, Kedar Ghimire, Email:
