Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
चिन्तनीया हि विपदाम् आदावेव प्रतिक्रिया ।
न कूपखननं युक्तं प्रदीप्ते वह्निना गृहे ॥
- समयोचितपद्यमालिका
Transliteration:
cintanīyā hi vipadām ādāveva pratikriyā ।
na kūpakhananaṃ yuktaṃ pradīpte vahninā gṛhe ॥
- samayocitapadyamālikā
Meaning of the subhAShita:
The remedy to a problem should be thought of ahead of time. It is not appropriate to dig a well when the house is on fire.
Commentary:
Fire hydrants! It is not a smart idea to start digging a well when the house is burning ablaze. The problem should be anticipated well ahead of time and appropriate plans should be made in case a crisis may occur. This is called planning.
Without planning, no job can be accomplished to its fullest potential. Crisis management should be given enough thought in the very beginning, else, the effort put into the actual job might go to waste.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail! Get proactive. Plan intelligently.
pada vigrahaH:
चिन्तनीया हि विपदाम् आदौ एव प्रतिक्रिया ।
cintanīyā hi vipadām ādau eva pratikriyā ।
न कूप-खननं युक्तं प्रदीप्ते वह्निना गृहे ॥
na kūpa-khananaṃ yuktaṃ pradīpte vahninā gṛhe ॥
