What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
- My favourite holiday is What.
- Forwhy it’s my favorite.
A Hero!
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
- I was learning to read. A library of books appeared in a government school in 1990-1991. This box had books from Eklavya publications New Delhi.
- The books had a lasting impact on my subconscious. After coming of age, when I questioned my spiritual enlightenment I looked back at that particular batch of books. It included Chakmak magazine. Not to mention syllabus books.
- Television, radio and local dialect shaped my world view.
- As usually happens to young children I was fascinated by martial arts in Bollywood movies and TV.
- I wanted to be a hero. A filmy hero who was able to defend great causes by being one many army. A saviour.
- Even that was possible as grandpa once told. There was a switch behind the medium size television set we had. That would have let me land in Bombay Bollywood to be a hero.
- Heroes were of many types. Delhi Doordarshan’s sentimental appeal to sacrifice yourself for Matrix, Patrix etc wasn’t really balanced by Bertrand Russell’s “patriotism is willing to die for foolish reasons.” I came across that only after college.
- Therefore, heroes who were warriors or army men brainwashed to die for their countries to receive accolades like Paramveer Chakra or Ashok Chakra.
- If someone thinks I mean they don’t value anything: it’s not so. Yet, in a world view there might not be a need for Jacob’s Ladder or Grave of Fireflies.
- If parents convinced me to not be a warrior I wanted to be at least a policeman. Most of the Bollywood movies which aren’t brainy show policemen as actual action heroes. Administrative officers, Kafkaesque nightmare of bureaucracy, banking, media, politicians, mafia, priesthood and the rest don’t appear in the budding psyche of young children.
- Prompts are merely an excuse to rant. I am deleting old articles to create space for new. Reason is simple: though new WordPress websites are available it’s more difficult to get subscribers or to actually buy as much space as there was a decade ago. I have contemplated about using another platform for blogging but this one seems to be most comfortable at the moment.
- This year I visited that village where people barely recognised me as I was visiting after college days. Even then I was visiting with my father who was a teacher there for almost a decade. The librarian then offered to help me with those books I had read and touched as a young child of five or six.
- They were a treasure. I looked up Eklavya publications archives online but they were different books. It disappointed me like most things online do.
- Look at Spotify or other music apps. Even though classics are available they often come with deluge of compulsory advertisements. As much as home ministry mixing devotional chants with abusive words at such a refined level that a novice gets baffled.
- Art of livings chanting of Om Namah Shivay was mixed with home minister’s swear words during announcement of a new law which was popularised as a meme. Who’s going to protect Dharma?
- And how’s Dharma going to protect its protectors if all you have are life insurance corporations agents who compel you to sign papers without insuring basic life sustenance needs. Are farmers still dying because of loans or bad weather?
- I have definitely come a long way. Doctor Win Wenger PhD suggested that sowing of wild oats stops when you turn forty. I think I convinced myself that I was way past forty. What a relief. I got another job which actually paid instead of labouring for an NGO which actually had a king who was no different from Gujrati kings who only compelled you to surrender your imagined properties to them by showcasing great virtue on occassions which suited them.
- To be or not to be what you wanted to be when you were five is more an analysis of world view created by literature at that time than individual psyche which might have held certain promises for stakeholders who were investing into that world or crop.
- This verse:
- कल भात आएगा,
एक पतीला;
गरम गरम,
और गीला गीला! - Sums up the make up of this five year old’s mind by providence which wanted him to realise his birth in a commune or orphanage where he only talks to a postbox 📬.
- The postbox 📫 takes up role of singer of this refrain which means:
- Tomorrow there will be rice;
- One big bowl full of rice;
- It will be hot steamy rice;
- It will be wet hot steamy rice like you prefer.
- Young, naked five year old crying its heart out to a postbox where crops might have failed. Parents might have abandoned the child. Satellite cameras might have been capturing images to project them onto a Truman Show like grand reality.
- Subconscious of child had questions like those asked by Nachiketa to Yama or those in the Seventh Seal if you would. Upanishads or Vedanta. They’re all answered in due course.
Pending an acquisition of a lifetime!
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
- Pending an acquisition of a lifetime.
- The quote above is from Paul who used to take care of bug fixes for the Couch Discussion Forum.
- The root Krum results in Hindi word Kram which translates to English word order, as in, ascending or descending order.
- To scend is to rise on a wave. Maybe a word for surfers. I came across this word while trying to archive words on level 4th and 5th of UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test site.
- A Test Ceiling in Psychometrics: 2060 score without committing more than 16 errors. Another : 0 errors until level 100.
- Site is bugged for me. Manually reset the levels after a few answers.
- Archive words at level 4th or 5th.
- Look them up in Merriam Webster or Collins.
- Refer to Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words.
- You’re done. You have mastered the test and championed the cause for feeding many people in developing nations.
- There are other tests similar to this one: for example: Peter Schmies Word Classification Test which I cleared recently.
- Similar techniques: words are inherently devoid of meaning. They’re what guilds of lexicographers suggest them to be.
- Similar to laws. For example: most of the people don’t wear helmets . Not wearing helmets is a norm.
- Does this imply that wearing helmets is lawlessness?
- No.
- The word ‘sentence’ suggests that your autobiography is going to be used as a testament. To judge others. It’s not fiction.
- Intestate is another word. What does coda mean?
- Cesern is long haired. Tohu is the verse form I invented. It’s similar to Supercallifragilisticexpliallidocious even though the sound of it is even more atrocious.
- Amphiprostyle is column based structure.
Commodious Vicus of Recirculation!
Peter Schmies Word Classification Test!
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
- Peter Schmies Word Classification Test
- I conducted a research into higher human intelligence during 2005-2009 by interviewing many college undergraduates and a few people from industries.
- I continued similar projects even when the Peter Schmies text version of detailed analogies test was no longer available in 2018-2025.
- By returning to basics of pencil and paper with Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon for Deux Ex Machina: I realised in February, 2025, that it was almost impossible to clear this objective Words Classification Test ( where you needed to guess if words were similar, opposite or you were making a wild guess.)
- Siddhanta: fundamental: words are sounds in the wild without any inherent meaning in them. In other words: it’s difficult to read a dictionary than reading fiction.
- From the viewpoint of a Grammarian , Author or Lexicographer: fiction is merely a context for interpretation of new word roots, new meanings, new associations.
- The first law of remembering and retaining words is to merely repeat it often enough.
- The second law is associating is with many profound ideas.
- Being able to clear Peter Schmies Word Classification Test removes many curses for example.
- Working in some libraries , for example, is almost impossible because of the banned versions or prohibitions.
- During 2018-2025, another strange thing was taking help from James Harbeck, Sesquiotica fame, who had let me publish a guest article on his weblog earlier. I had introduced his work on Blogging101Alumni website sponsored by Automattic.
- Every time I tried to clear the ceiling of 16 errors until 2060, I used to commit a few errors before reaching the score of 1000 on UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test site which was developed by Josh Breen.
- I decided to make these tests open sources in order to crack them as Rick Rosner of Mega Society had indicated in the Mega Society journal.
- During 2025 January and February this bugged website was unable to maintain itself.
- Collins dictionary was only resource which helped.
- Who was Fredrick Berchtold if not Pope?
- Proselytism in the name of education might work in the short run.
- Names are words, like titles, ranks, offices, honours..
- A breakfast, a bed, a milk tea, a mobile charge, a distraction free environment to publish.
- Project Gutenberg, project renaissance, project Sesquiotica for example.
- If Gregg Scott, Jhonson O Connors, Norman Lewis, Ben Zimmer, Language Log guys and Jonathan Swift decide to keep meaning of words like Russel, Harbeck or Whigham: it’s a guild awards Peter Schmies Word Classification Test which is equivalent to Issac Asimov or Mensa Membership in Sweden.
- But you are almost 40. You don’t want to be 14 years old.
- Time Machines. Name Machines. Walking. Friends.
- Was Reservoir dogs an inspiration for the opening sequence for The Dark Knight?. If yes, Nolan shouldn’t be credited as much for originality as for grand execution which works in corporate settings, in family gatherings.
- As soon as Peter Schmies is out you start condemning him.
- As soon as you exhaust Sesquiotica you look for next Laaloo.
- Brown, Black people were frequent flyers. White people were not so.
- Why did my corporate colleague prefer railways? To save himself from heart attacks.
- What’s next?

Friend
Broom Versus Palm Versus Lotus!
1. The idea for this blog post came from the hodgepodge obvious on the wall shown in this image.
2. Previous elections for municipal corporation were organised in 2016-17 and I didn’t witness the process back then because of lack of interest. This time around I kept reading the newspapers and gleaned a bit about it.
3. What’s so peculiar about this image?
Nothing if you don’t know the process. The process by which it was created. You would find such advertisement leaflets pasted all over the Ward 23 of Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, India.
4. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts: one of the candidates mentioned in the advertisement is going to win and become richer than they previously were. This is the most humble of them you’re going to see: EVER. Even if a facade, the premise is worth being explored for obvious reason to have a first-hand experience about metamorphosis elections do in the lives of candidates running and the rest of us.
5. The hodgepodge came to be like this:
5.1: There was an empty wall.
5.2: The leaflet for broom 🧹 was pasted at first.
5.3: The script in the dark maroon color was written just below the leaflet. The lotus group didn’t paste the leaflet with their candidate’s picture.
Why?
Who knows?
(Kovind?)
5.4: The leaflet for palm of right hand was pasted in the end.
5.5: To a regular passerby: it seems as if the script in maroon is to support the broom 🧹 candidate.
6. Actually: all three of them are very gentle people. They respect boundaries of each other.
As of now: I am writing this post under article 144 being in effect. Intention is absolutely not to defame anyone or to malign the reputation of these representatives of the Ward ( 23 ).
7. The intention is to educate and inform people who ever read this article about the political campaign for municipal corporation elections.
8. I got to see the first candidate as candidate when my respected father Shilajeet was speaking to him on NH39 near Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium entrance to Choubey Colony a few days ago. He was accompanied by his soft spoken fast friend from education business. Political business is related to the education business. It seemed more than a coincidence that I was crossing the road when this happened. Pink Floyd.
8.1: Does the candidate eat gutka?
Yes.
Does he spit it in public places like Stadium?
Yes.
Akin to any normal people (Aam Aadmi.) I have often seen him in stadium-walking- as he’s fitness conscious and also a proprietor of an accupressure naturopathy clinic nearby. His elder brother also showed public disdain by spitting gutka once. It had become a regular feature by the year 2018.
9. Gurudev is also fitness conscious and his family is also full of disdain for middle or lower middle class people. They have organised many public events in which devotional songs and stories were played. They also participated in the recently concluded Madhav Prasad Mishra Memorial Night Cricket Tournament. He was the last man standing for the losing side.
10. Does Gurudev eat gutka? Maybe Not. But his most ardent supporter seems to be fond of it. He openly showed his disdain by spitting a large chunk of it, on purpose. He then went on to paste the posters.
11. Both of these candidates pass the Ku Klux Klan test. It’s actually darker than it seems.
12. Let’s take the third candidate: the candidate from the ruling party. Double engine. Highest budget. Budget visible in the campaign. The third candidate is not a single candidate. The trend of Mister and Mrs Khiladi was not set by previous candidates from lotus group. It’s been there for a long time. The feminine takes care of kids and ladies and the masculine manages the rest. The message is clear: women can’t take care of this business alone. The places where you see only women contesting elections: there are men behind the scenes.
13. Broom and Palm guys are guys. Men. Lotus guys are Gemini. Twins. Mercury just entered into Gemini. Yadda yadda. If you think women are really candidates here: you’re grossly mistaken. I have to wait for three days for getting a fifty rupees pocket money from my mother who earns about 70000 rupees per month because all of the business and economics is managed by her husband since forever. She doesn’t have any money which is how things should be in an ideal Patriarchal Society.
14. Another candidate who took his nomination back was not contesting from any party. He used to be a vocal supporter for right hand palm. Now he was going to contest on his own but took nomination back at the last minute due to the requests from the candidates from ruling party (as told to me at a tea cafe when enquired.)
15. As I took the picture: the picture was erased from the database. By hackers. It’s not new to me. Plenty of it happened in the last seven years. I took the picture again. It’s merely to keep record of how it happened. Only faces and names change in power struggles. No substantial changes. An example is: black money deposited into swiss bank accounts from India skyrocketing during 2020-2021: one of the premises on which 2011 Anna Hazare movement was organised and then another election: no REAL change.
Chaturvedi versus Churvedi versus Basil Rathbone versus Benedict Cumberbatch versus Sherlock Holmes versus CHATUVERDI !!!
1. I was brought up among Grammar Nazis.
2. In school, as well as outside: parents, teachers and seniors: all took great care to correct pronunciation of youngsters.
3. It applied to both English and Hindi.
4. Stuttering or speech defect made you subject to ridicule and mockery.
5. Despite best of my efforts and somehow being able to graduate in electronics and communication engineering: I found myself fumbling for correct pronunciation in get-togethers among my colleagues.
6. I tried to compensate by learning more words: especially by reading. The lag between proper pronunciation and spelling still remained. Finally: I accepted it with further research into etymology of type which condones some errors provided you’re not being obnoxious on purpose by pretending to be a logophile.
Now: having established the premise which saves you the trouble of misappropriation, misapprehension and misconception (not to be confused with miscarriage;) I try to unleash my grammar nazi in service of entertainment.
A. I assume you have been following my career as a local guide level six on Google: which is an unpaid job. Rehash data if you have no money to visit new places. Keep compensating for low achievement by finding errors in names, addresses and such with limitation of Google Maps assuming that you actually visited a place if you merely passed by it and your bluetooth was happy to have a dream byte. Or if you were to edit out an address with a genuine philanthropic urge to help: Google maps continues to assign you the role of the job manager, whereas, you’re on your toes to avoid real estate people who assume that you’re actually a fraud who’s about to misappropriate their property.
B. In that vein: whoever commissioned this work in the stone tablet number one: did a great damage to self-proclaimed Hindi champions :
CHATURVEDI is written like: CHATUVERDI.
I am an expert in finding culprits.
With the risk of creating an all out BEE Jay PEE versus CONE GRACE:
With the risk of losing my five hundred rupees per month job in which I teach English, Hindi and Maths to a kid whose father is actually free from losing his job:
I hereby declare that: on 14.10.09:
When this GRAVE misdemeanor was being committed against HINDI as well as the original philanthropic family which contributed land towards the creation of this August premise;
People responsible were:
Professor P. K. Pateriya
Professor G. C. Singhai
Madhusudan Pitre
There:
I have shown you the art of actually honouring your mother tongue, if it’s Hindi. It’s not done by putting a Palm on HOLIDAY on back of a pedestrian. Not by shouting Jai Shriram. Not by driving a vehicle without license. Not by shouting uncle uncle uncle ad nauseum…ad infinitum.
Case Two:
This error was also consumed post 12.06.1994.
It seems: later it became trendier to distribute credit here.
Even a 1992 stone inscription has embossed characters, both in Hindi and English: which are free from error. Only person mentioned is a philanthrope named Swami Pranavananda who donated money and land in India and USA for furthering Vedic research.
Thus: error in Case Two: Hindi research is based on the assumption that commission was working under Digvijay Singh, then chief minister of Madhya Pradesh India. The stadium committee had a head, someone was a principal, another name needed to be blamed for being in-charge during the masonic tea parties.
Take another pro bono case:
Despite best of their intentions: they commissioned two artiste. Both began work at the rate of five hundred rupees per day I assume. I requested them to correct Hindi spelling of APRIL. They did. It was too late when it came to English spelling of CHANAL. Charnel. Channel. Organizers are still alive and kicking and they don’t give a damn about Hindi, English or mafia. I think so? No. I know so! Relevance: today morning Mitul with an M tattoo on his right hand asked about it.

Why do you carry a bag?
Compare two tablets made of stone. Both of them are present in the pavilion of this stadium.
1. 14.10.09: establishment created.
2. 19/02/14: establishment released for public use.
3. There’s a record of six people in the first stone whereas a record of eight people in the second.
4. Devnagari script in both.
5. The slant is tilted towards right in the latter: it indicates a proactive approach.
6. The nickname ‘Radhe’ seems to be forcibly inserted after the name of the president of the stadium committee. This, further highlights the cramming in the second stone tablet.
7. Hence, the latter, which was created five years after the former, has more people, more proactive approach, less formality for some reason.
8. The former script has a perfectly vertical angle which indicates discipline and formality. The height of stone from the ground level is also higher than the latter.
9. There’s only one name which is common in both stones.
10. How did I get fortunate enough to reproduce images of these stones and to produce an analysis of data/script ?
11. I found a student who happens to be son of an employee in this university. As he was busy working out his assignments- I was busy comparing notes on two southern walls of this ground.
11. How do you think this data might help you? It’s not clear. If you are a subscriber to this weblog-you know why. If you want to leave the subscription: you would be helping gaia by reducing carbon emission.
1. Piglets are quarreling over who’s gonna have greater share in their mother’s milky udders. Whole psychology of mamallians and their hearts is around milky way.
2. Then there are vegans. Omnivores. Cannibals and so on. Andromeda.
3. As I was enjoying my breakfast this morning: much deserved leftovers from last night’s fiesty supper: I received a phone call from a friend. The call didn’t seem to be frantic in particular but the slipper snapped at the exact moment I was going to attend the call.
4. When we met: the soles of his feet were also hurt. Strange. After a brief while: I was in a queue for getting my slipper repaired.
5. It took me about half an hour and ten rupees to get it done. Argument for being prior to a lady in the queue who shamelessly took advantage of poor cobbler. As well!!
6. Cobbler was unabashed to ask me if I was in the business of prostitution. He insinuated that he knew many people who were in that business. Strange–how my insistence on getting proper and timely service took his mind towards prostitution as if the grim heat and humidity faded by getting lost into fairy world of his own creation. I paid him ten rupees and gradually vanished from the scene.
7. Spider: the banyan tree is a host to ants and spiders. This spider was jumping up and down all over the place like early morning’s Minimum Mota
COINcide?
1. The first coin in the picture above was released for “Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board” in the year 2012. It was their silver jubilee year.
2. The second coin was released in the year 2010 by the Indian Reserve Bank. It was their platinum jubilee year. Estd. 1935
English lessons:
1. Patricide: murder of father.
2. Matricide: murder of mother.
3. Fratricide: murder of fraternity.
4. COINcide: murder of COIN.
5. Suicide: murder of self.
