Everything is there. Then comes the question, 'what of it?' That question carries the whole weight of the poem.\n\nThe answer comes in the last line: that house is a forest. Not size but relationship makes a house a home. When a building is full and still cannot be lived in, the same place turns into something forbidding, a place one halts outside of. 'Hard to look at' is not about ugliness; it is about a loneliness that gives no courage to walk in.","story_title_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0baa\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0ba4 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc1\u0bb0 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b86\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0bae\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb0 \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc7\u0b9a\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc8. \u0bae\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb3\u0bcd\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0ba4\u0bc0\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b87\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b92\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bca\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba3\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \"\u0b89\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bbf \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bbe?\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \"\u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0ba4\u0bc2\u0ba3\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1, \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bca\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd, \u0ba8\u0bb0\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb2 \u0ba8\u0bc6\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bc7\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0ba9: \u0b85\u0b9a\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0ba4 \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd.","story_title_en":"Prahlada and the Pillar","story_en":"From the Bhagavata Purana.
