Dhak ke teen paat:**

dhak is a tree with three leafs at it’s pinnacle [it’s a tri-pinnate plant]…this means to do more than one task with one attempt. ya’nii…ek teer se do shikaar yaa ek pan do kaaj…Ity’s basically a Hindi phrase.

dhak tree has beautiful flowers. here is an image of dhak leaves and flowers:**

soot na kapaas, korii se laTTham laTThaa:

soot = cotton thread
kapaas = cotton balls
korii = weaver
laTTham laTThaa = laTh-baazii karnaa
**

so, it means:

**to fight for something which is NOT even there…like, fighting for nothing :slight_smile:
