Class Discussion  ( ā¤•⤕्⤎ा ⤕ी ⤚⤰्⤚ा) 

“In the class discussion Jane, you hardly said a word.

“⤕⤕्⤎ा ā¤Žें ⤚⤰्⤚ा ⤕े ā¤Ļौ⤰ा⤍ ⤜े⤍, ⤤ुā¤Žā¤¨े ā¤Žुā¤ļ्⤕ि⤞ ⤏े ā¤ā¤• ā¤ļā¤Ŧ्ā¤Ļ ⤭ी ā¤•ā¤šा।

We all aired our opinions but from you we barely heard.

ā¤šā¤Ž ⤏⤭ी ⤍े ⤅ā¤Ē⤍ी ⤰ा⤝ ā¤ĩ्⤝⤕्⤤ ⤕ी ⤞े⤕ि⤍ ⤆ā¤Ē⤕ी ⤓⤰ ⤏े ā¤šā¤Žā¤¨े ā¤Ŧā¤Žुā¤ļ्⤕ि⤞ ā¤šी ⤏ु⤍ा।

You sat and stared in silence surrounded by the chatter,

⤆ā¤Ē ⤚ुā¤Ē⤚ाā¤Ē ā¤Ŧै⤠े ā¤°ā¤šे ⤔⤰ ⤗ā¤Ēā¤ļā¤Ē ⤏े ⤘ि⤰े ā¤°ā¤šे,

Now tell me Jane,

⤅ā¤Ŧ ā¤Žुā¤े ā¤Ŧ⤤ा⤓ ⤜े⤍,

and please be plain,

⤔⤰ ⤕ृā¤Ē⤝ा ⤏्ā¤Ē⤎्⤟ ā¤°ā¤šें,

is there anything the matter?”

⤕्⤝ा ⤕ो⤈ ā¤Ŧा⤤ ā¤šै?”

Jane looked up and then she spoke,

⤜े⤍ ⤍े ⤊ā¤Ē⤰ ā¤Ļे⤖ा ⤔⤰ ā¤Ģि⤰ ā¤Ŧो⤞ी,

Her voice was clear and low:

⤉⤏⤕ी ⤆ā¤ĩा⤜़ ⤏ाā¤Ģ़ ⤔⤰ ⤧ीā¤Žी ā¤Ĩी:

“There are many people in this world
