आप सोच रहे होंगे की आज आपको English छोड़कर मौसम और त्योहारों के बारे में क्यों बताया जा रहा है।
Well, dear friends, when you look for inspiration, you find it everywhere and in everything.
When I came to know that Basant Panchami is dedicated to the coming spring season and to goddess Saraswati, THE GODDESS OF LEARNING, I thought why not associate today's learning with the beautiful spring season.
So, here I have a collection of Spring inspired Idioms. But first,
WHAT ARE IDIOMS?
Idiom यानि मुहावरे का अर्थ है शब्दों का एक ऐसा समूह जिसका शाब्दिक अर्थ उसके वास्तविक अर्थ से अलग होता है।
If you try to translate an idiom according to the words, it won't make any sense.
Idioms have some specific meanings and are to be used in specific conditions only.
Spring शब्द से जुड़े ज़्यादातर मुहावरे ऊर्जा को दर्शाने के लिए इस्तेमाल किये जाते हैं क्योंकि बसंत ऋतू अपने आप में ऊर्जा का एक प्रतीक है।
