What’s there in the name ?

 
 
What’s there in the name?:   ‘If we do not know the names of things, the knowledge of them is lost too’
(Linnaeus, 1751).


All wisdom begins by calling all living (including humans) and non living things by their proper names…..T.N.Khoshoo in his article in Current Science 1995.
