The story of Kalidas.
* Story of Kalidas
* Kalidas was a big zero in terms of mental ability and was unattractive physically too. Once he was cutting the very branch he was sitting on.
*Seeing him in this position, the pundits (priests) from the palace thought him to be the right candidate for marrying him off to Vidyotama, who had insulted them. They projected Kalidas as a silent wise person and made him participate in a debate with her over the scriptures. Cunningly they somehow explained his reactions as replies to all her questions in such a manner that she accepted him as husband.
*But on the very first day, truth came out and she threw him out of the house. The sentences she spoke while pushing him out of the house, hurt Kalidas deep within. With great determination he started acquiring knowledge. In the end, that fool with his efforts became the great poet Kalidas and got reunited with Vidyotama.
