    first I typed ' pillar has taken the place of tamarind tree" then I edited and forgot to change " has to have" what a shame...:P
    The relevance is machan, at the end of the poem they give an idea about the cruelness of development. They cut down trees about without considering about the value of nature... the author went to his school after 10 years. He used to pick sour tamarind around the school lane.But now there are none.the pillars have taken the place of those trees.he felt angry I suppose.:yes:
    Whats the bloody relevance of that line from that poem to your question about pillars and posts ??

    This is what I wanted....:yes:
    This thread won't teach you simple present tense of present perfect tense but will teach you these kind of things you find in English :cool:
    Keep it up machan...

    need to learn slang to use :sorry:
    Dont learn slang. Learn proper use of the language. That what really counts.
    Besides, slang changes from country to country and time to time.

    It is a long story machan.So I need to know what did the poet mean ? What are pillars..? are they " light kanu" or something else.. So I asked Twisted, what is the proper word for " light kanu' ? he said " lamp posts" then I asked can't i use pillars instead of posts. he said "mate,pillars are different from posts.".Finally I asked "what is the difference between pillars and posts ? :baffled:
