        I am not sure the meaning of nindAra? ninda + ARa? - Then
connection to yOchimpagan is not clear.  Any way here it is.

 - In the spirit of the non-chando style of the samasya - my free hand attempt:

Reminded of the satirical story of Galiver? Travelles - wherein two
Lilliput countries go to war because of their disagreements on which end
the chicken egg should be broken - the large end or the small end?
