  1. I am still laughing at you the fruit and you an object. All of them are so wonderfully done, insights into the real Shilpa-the-rose-Garg!
    Now, I want to do this tag too! :))

  2. @ Reema : Mythology & Folklore says…The Celts believed hazelnuts gave one wisdom and inspiration, this is brought to light by the similarity between the Gaelic word for nuts, “cno” pronounced “knaw”, and the word for wisdom, “cnocach”.

    There are numerous variations on an ancient tale that nine hazel trees grew around a sacred pool, dropping nuts into the water and were eaten by salmon (a fish sacred to Druids) and absorbed the wisdom. The number of spots on the salmon were said to indicate how many nuts they had eaten.

    A Druid teacher, in his bid to become omniscient, caught one of these special salmon and asked a student to cook the fish but not to eat it. While cooking, hot liquid from the cooking fish splashed onto the pupil’s thumb, which he naturally sucked to cool, and absorbed the fish’s wisdom. This boy was called Fionn Mac Cumhail and went on to become one of the most heroic leaders in Gaelic mythology. 🙂
