AN..."ANjlA kore cA pAtA DhAli"- Kuntala.<br /><br />ANjlA kore- poetic licence?!!! A joined-palmsful worth of tea, or the rapture that induces one to pour in tea with joined palms, as if in an anjali! Goodness gracious!<br /><br />Quite a strong cup or powerful rapture there!<br /><br />For people not familiar with Bangala, "ANjlA kore" usually implies a full or overflowing handful, e.g. of SHEFALIKA flowers [HarashrngAr in N.India,Nyctanthus arbor-tristis]offered as anjali in puja, specifically Durga Puja. <br /><br />Or, say, raw rice, offered as as a generous, unstinting gift to someone such as a supplicant.<br /><br />The metaphor behind the phrase is a "generous, unstinting quantity", the cupped palms representing an auspicious measure of abundance. <br /><br />I was kidding about the frightening quantity of tea implied by the poetic language used: a cupped palmsful of tea poured into water just coming to a roiling boil & steeped for 3 seconds, as per Miss Marple's edict!gautamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188124842361333060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-68372310130482761102011-08-07T00:02:49.397-04:002011-08-07T00:02:49.397-04:00wasnt this the one I wrote my entry to? or the nex...wasnt this the one I wrote my entry to? or the next one?Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676408925598600874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-74818649091674052422011-08-02T17:47:37.310-04:002011-08-02T17:47:37.310-04:00Sorry for the late reply from me.
