@DriftyAfter50 Takes me back to my school days: TD Bhatt sir explaining the dohas. And then saying: सतसैया के दोहरे, ज्यों नावक के तीर। देखन में छोटन लगै, घाव करै गंभीर॥ Loved it.
@indiainpixels I don't where you extract your data from. It has always been terribly wrong for Bhojpuri. Nimak (from Namak ofcourse) & Noon (from lawan) are two words that are used in Bhojpuri. As far as I know Noon is also used in Magahi in South Bihar and Khortha in North Jharkhand.

@DriftyAfter50 Very interesting. Thanks for sharing your research and analysis.
@DriftyAfter50 Great 🧵 Bihari seems like a great poet, but like the song-writers in movies today, had to earn a living!
@DriftyAfter50 Small nitpick. That is a picture of the 14th century Maithili poet Vidyapati.
Santoshji, NEP should include history from your lenses for a better India tomorrow!
1/ In which we meet a celebrated 17th century poet who left behind just one work, hobnobbed with mighty kings, inspired painting masters, wrote love and history into his works and whose work is still in print, admired by his fans and researched by global scholars.
@DriftyAfter50 Bihari Satsai became a neetishashtra Granth in 1700s and some role was played in its reputation by embassies from and to Jaipur state by other states in himlayas, Rajasthan and gangetic plains.
@DriftyAfter50 चित्र महाकवि विद्यापति का है, संतोष जी !
@DriftyAfter50 बिहारी-आख्यान में चित्र आपने विद्यापति का डाल दिया है।
On a recent trip to Bhopal earlier this month I explored the culinary delights offered by the begum’s kitchen and how it is adapted on street food corners. I write all about it here deccanherald.com/lifestyle/food…
@DriftyAfter50 🕉️ Shanti. 🕉️ Sadgati. Sorry for your loss. Heartfelt condolences to you & your family.
Please wish me luck. Flying back to Canada from India tonight after 5 years away! Flight has already been delayed twice 🤦♀️ Please get me home @lufthansa @AirCanada #airlines #goinghome #flightdelay
Truly a gem! Sensuous, luscious words woven in such an elegant couplet! Evocative, yet almost bashful in its graceful composition!🙏
2/ कहत नटत रीझत खिझत मिलत खिलत लजियात। भरे भौन मैं करत हैं, नैननु ही सब बात॥ Speaking, spurning, thrilling, fretting, Meeting, blooming, blushing— In s public place, all is said by the eyes alone. ~ Translated by Rupert Snell
@DriftyAfter50 Do you have access to 'Bihari Satsay'? I remember people quoting couplets to predict weather. It will be interesting read. Thanks for the good work.
@DriftyAfter50 Satsai and paintings based on it are real joy.
Was writing my bio for a talk, today. Whatever @IITBHU_Varanasi might be called today, this is where I graduated from.
