1. Merit of being young and beautiful: is to be pleasant to look at. As a living organism you have more potential to further procreate and lengthen the chain of your species, clan or family. Especially in case of women fertility is correlated with beauty. As young children are beautiful to look at by virtue of being alive more than those aging: being young means surviving and struggling on a day-to-day basis mostly to sow your seeds. Seeds, which will be sown anyway.

2. Those who are forever young have gained infinite virtue. The true nectar of immortality. The elixir which lets them gain eternal youth. They have defied the realm of death, fear and decay.

3. The name of coaching class on board: Mars Space Academy. It teaches you high school subjects. It seemed funny to me. What would have crossed the mind of the proprietor to show off both his inclination towards space missions and knowledge of Science?

4. I was talking to the tea stall kid in the high school who plays PUBG lite. He kept swinging hence and forth between subjects and tenses upon being questioned about what he had read in the English Grammar: then I taught him affirmative, negative and interrogative forms of the tense:

“I prepare tea.”

5. Another kid I am giving tuitions to had a strange experience yesterday night. It was like astral travel but nightmarish. He saw the time in clock which read 12:16 AM. I had asked him simple practice questions on Voices when his vision seemed to have got blurred and he could hardly read any further. I asked him walk around the library room breathing deeply. His elder brother had seen a bull one night. This strange bull with red eyes disappeared from his vision after se time. Coming home the kid had strange vomitting. I am eating crunchy snacks and peanuts which are very few but ignite taste buds and give me energy to continue. A building I used to see everyday has been demolished as it served no purpose. How much energy is spent in restructuring because of renovation whereas some people barely have enough resources to start. I saw two kingfishers and one of them twisted itself dramatically. I confirmed that Moon was still in the constellation Bharani and it will reach Rohini by tomorrow upon being asked by tea stall guys. I don’t care about run-on sentences and other nuances. I am much better off writing almost as I wanted to after a dark passage of almost six months where a kitten and lying family members inhibited all my expression. A crow sings and many vehicles pass by… for couple of days Mars will be there as Atmakaraka. I still think about the stranger on that village street when I had not even begun my schooling. The stranger who talked about the Tense.
