Foreword/ Glossary
Nakka= Fox
Thoka= Tail
Thokkudu = Stepping
Prabanjanam = That which breaks thoroughly. Wind [in this context, a powerful occuring]
Hypothesis/Theory:
In the heart of the Telugu language, exists the concept of “nakka thokkadam“! Derived from a myth that if one steps on a fox’s tail, one shall be bestowed with lots of short term luck.Hence, the person who reached the pinnacle of success would be considered in the symbolic sense as the owner of a fox-park. Amen !
Details
When uncertainty leads to success we hardly notice it. At least to the outer world, we have to delegate the credit to the successful. Because calling the successful “lucky” and not “meritorious” would automatically throw a tag on you called “jealousy” 🙂
And so everything in the long term converges to one thing. The saying that says, luck (uncertainty leading to success) is an Universal open secret! In the world of politeness/manners, as scary to utter as J.K.Rowling’s Voldemort or Asimov’s Mother Planet Earth … In spite of the vast significance, it doesn’t harbor anywhere near political correctness or the laws of gentlemanly appreciation 🙂
But the concept does exist. For those lucky few…
lol @ fox park
how about a serial called “fox park west” where things are more random than that old one called central park west 😉
