Oh my god! I had no idea about these hidden gems, sequestered in some corner of the world and quietly strengthening Bharatiya culture. I was too bedazzled by the thousands of Padmas given to Rajdeeps & Barkhas.

*I studied sanskrit from 8th standard to 2nd PUC, and I scored 100 in 9th, 10th and 2nd PUC. Its a wonderful language. Its our culture. You need to learn if you get a chance*
