One Should However Look Bright In Outward Appearance! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

One Should However Look Bright In Outward Appearance!



In spite of the fact if a person does not own
..Even a little place for placing his bed to sleep,

If he is well dressed, nobody will consider him as poor
..And will not dare to ask him ‘Do you need food? ' as alms!

Hence, even though the poverty is greater in his home,
..One should however look bright in outward appearance!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'One should however look bright in outward appearance! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'pazamozi naanooRu'

அகத்தா லழிவு பெரிதாயக் கண்ணும்
புறத்தாற் பொலிவுறல் வேண்டும் எனைத்தும்
படுக்கை இலராயக் கண்ணும் உடுத்தாரை
உண்டி வினவுவா ரில்.185 - பழமொழி நானூறு

Yes, you are right.......! External appearance counts so much and can easily cover up a life of wants!

Thanks for your nice comment; There is another proverb; person is one half and the dress is another half for getting respect.
