earth is flat----

those who agree with me , skip this

i was reading this poem  from
sumathi shathakamu

''తివిరి ఇసుమున తైలంబు తీయవచ్చు
తవిలి మృగతృష్ణ లో నీరు త్రాగవచ్చు
తిరిగి కుందేటి కొమ్ము సాధింప వచ్చు
చేరి మూర్ఖుని మనసు రంజింప రాదు''

may be possible

to extract oil from sand

to sip water in mirage

to fetch horn of a hare

but possible not

to enlighten an idiot

it is all very true, i thought and happily slept , and slept.

Copernicus came in my dream said ''earth is round''

i asked him ''did you see doctor'' 

he said ''he is round  stomach, round head''

I said ''check your spects ''

he said ''yes glasses are round, ''

I said ''did you see play ground''

he said ''yes, i played,  foot ball  was round''

disturbed, i got up

what a fool he, i felt

but to give a benefit of doubt, i wanted to verify
i lost no time 

i checked my floor with water level, ok, it was level , flat , polished shabad flooring

i saw out side , road was flat
i walked 10 km it was of course flat 

still i pursued with a civil engineer to check with theodolite and level pole and took him to a vast wide ground 
he too confirmed it was reasonably flat but with ups downs but not curved

i travelled from hyd to delhi in train , and found that train never bent in curved shape the track was also level

i and took a flight to us, i observed carefully from plane found that earth below was perfectly plain flat

then i took a journey to go to the edge of the earth but pilot got confused, thinking that  plane  was going straight to the edge , but his steering how he turned i did not see,   but we landed in hyd , but he missed the track , though he said that he was going in a straight line, 

i asked him whether he saw the edge of earth 

he looked at me puzzled, and in suspicion . and went

now i want to learn plane driving and go and come back and take all to the edge , but be careful you  should not fall from the edge.

i am taking all this trouble just to prove that Copernicus is not great, but he is only a great idiot, . i knew it .
i thought you also should know how an idiot thinks and works,
