dumbdodi said...: Don, there was a sanskrit verse that I learnt in school. Don't remember its words but what it said what was that 'A Kasturi deer keeps looking everywhere all its life to search where the beautiful, mesmerising smell is coming from, but never realises it comes from its very own navel'
