A heart if broken, can never be joined again. May be, there is some kind of compromise. But, the memories of teh broken state will remain for ever.<br />There used to be a very good advertisement regarding a product, Quickfix, which used to say the product will join anything except broken hearts.<br />There is a similar verse in Mahabharatam which talks about arrows that are struck in the body and heart. There the mention is about the bad words that hit the hearts.<br />It is a daily experience. Vemana is good at bringing the very known things in a simple but focoseed manners in as few words as possible.Vijayagopalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06844601278359422478noreply@blogger.com
