The Raining, Coffee boy and Me
When I stepped out my office, the sky was winking with intense lightening. Flashes of light snapped my eyes and followed by thundering. My heart pounded transiently but I walked on my way. On the way to apartment, it started raining with wind along with hailstones falling. My head had been stroke by hailstones and I covered my head with hood of my jacket to save it but I could not withstand and entered a coffee shop. I ordered the coffee. I opened my book and started reading. I got my coffee. 'Hi sir, what are you reading?' Coffee server asked me. I paused for some time and answered him, 'Vedamaa ke chha?' not giving attention to him. He poked me again, 'Well sir, by the way, Vedamaa ke chha?' 'This is none of your business dear.' I am annoyed by his query. These days, I am reading 'Vedamaa ke chha?' book written by Dr. Swami Prapannacharya.
He was saddened by my answer, I could see in his facial expression. I asked him to come to me. He came to me and stood still. 'What do you want to know about Veda?' I asked him. 'Everything what you know about it.' He readily answered me.
It mainly describes about the then society in Indian continent and Nepal. It even describes the word 'Nepal' is not derived from 'Ne' named saint rather it was already mentioned as Nepal where 'Ne' named saint used to meditate here in Himalaya region. 'So, all the postulates about probable derivations of 'Nepal' word are false!' 'What?! You know about its derivation that is mentioned by historian!' 'Well sir I read in book.' I asked him, 'what level are you studying?' 'Just passed fifth standard but I have read this in some history books.' 'So you are studious huh!' 'Sometimes I study the books whenever I got the chance.'
It was already stopped raining. I moved out of that coffee shop. The wind was still there. I was walking in little bit high speed mumbling about the Veda and wondering about the knowledge of coffee boy. He taught me to not underestimate anyone and to not get preoccupied with.
whats really in vedas?
