United Nations World Food Programme: Free Rice: Help Alleviate The Hunger!

I just raised 26000 grains of rice on Freerice! For every answer you get right, 5 grains go to the UN World Food Programme. Play it here: https://freerice.com/apps

1. I made a few calls.

2. I heard some music by maestros.

3. I took milk, rice and pulses in lunch. I had poha for breakfast.

4. I walked to the Hanuman temple up the hill. It’s known as Hanuman Tauriya. It’s an ancient site in this city. It’s beautiful to look at the city from top of that hill. It was neptunian, foggy and dreamlike. I saw the priest, a security guard and a reader of Ramcharitmanasa in the temple premise.

5. There were four or five boys outside the temple. I again noted the bike number 4440 near Chhatrasal Carrefour. It’s the same bike number I saw couple of times before under the neem tree and on road to Brijpura.

6. The stadium had least number of people today. On my way I observed a damsel who was holding hand of a child. Behind her two boys: just before that spot a man had spit for some reason. A banana thela had three guys near it. As I changed I almost slipped for being engrossed into thoughts. I got a call from Devkunwar’s sister-in-law who said she had seen me near JK Cyber cafe. She wanted me to talk to her daughters who study in class ninth for English tuitions.

7. Academy had nobody. It was locked for it has been raining since last two days.

United Nations World Food Program: Free Rice!

I just raised 24000 grains of rice on Freerice! For every answer you get right, 5 grains go to the UN World Food Programme. Play it here: https://freerice.com/apps

1. I went to stadium without an umbrella. It started to rain after I watched three boys play basketball.

2. At the pavilion: I observed some guys getting trained at various athletic exercises. I also observed a calm guy practicing meditation. I kept listening to divine melodies. My friends were playing cricket in the academy. They have cancelled the trip to Lavakushanagar. Vaibhav seems to have developed good bonding with the coach and the new entry from the Chetgiri Colony is an enthusiastic learner. The MVM boys who practiced catching the ball with me were disciplined in their approach.

3. I saw a student who took couple of English lessons from me when I used to go for long walks to Brijpura. I asked him why they stopped attending my classes and he replied: “girls in our batch had some problem.” The contract with the owner of the coaching didn’t mention any such problems. I tried my best to deliver and teach but he kind of disappeared from the scene : keeping the kids on the forefront. As on all previous occasions : whatever came through my mother, brothers or father or grandmother: always had duplicity or underhand tactics. Never stating clearly what was going on there. I was not there to take lessons but to teach and to earn a living. They made a joke of the contract and a joke of themselves as I had already written well in advance on this very blog. Good riddance.

4. I had a nice time in library reading some Vaishnava bhakti literature as I catalogued the books. Ankit: the oldest acquaintance in the Gandhi Bhavan greeted me from the “peeping tom” hole. I hastened to catalogue books and took no more than thirty minutes to get out. Two minutes extra.

5. It was rare to meet Dhaniraam outside the Poha shop near stadium. Prashant Khare and Vaibhav were present. They told that he never eats what is given to him and puts it on trees for birds. I didn’t know that about him. I gave him the samosa I was going to have and he also asked for a bit of Poha from the shop owner.

6. It was slightly difficult to walk as it was drizzling and slippers were slipping. I was also concerned about the safety of the smartphone.

United Nations World Food Program Free Rice!

I just raised 22000 grains of rice on Freerice! For every answer you get right, 5 grains go to the UN World Food Programme. Play it here: https://freerice.com/apps

1. Here we have three players in the academy. It rained, therefore I brought an umbrella. I planned on collecting the garbage for disposal but I have to postpone it.

2. I played vocabulary quiz listening to music after waking up from a dream, only fragments of which I recalled.

3. I met very few familiar faces on my way to here. Morning session was excellent as I had a lot to watch and learn. I had an active participation in the match with players who were practicing off the nets.

4. In library I enlisted a few titles and walked back. The breakfast today was special in way that it reminded me of two separate identities or lifetimes. Twenty years ago, this man used to bring samose to our school which is located nearby. Then I met him in the stadium and he gave three pieces for ten rupees. They were one for one rupee twenty years ago. I felt they were tastier today.

5. That guy who is my favourite player couldn’t bat for long as his team was all out before they could score enough runs. I also watched him bowl : he is learning at a rapid rate.

Help alleviate the hunger in the world.

1. I had a good night’s sleep.

2. In the cricket academy: the coach asked my whereabouts. I told him the bare facts. What would have been the use of telling him about the journey. I asked him if it was a trouble to be around. He said that it was quite the contrary. That he liked my presence.

3. The Twilight was one of the most beautiful songs and paintings wrapped in mysterious songs of birds returning to their nests. I saw bats dancing. Perhaps it was closest to what I might have called home. Comfortable playing ground. Playing the ball. Eons and eons. Homage to vallalar and the ethereal shrine in Thillai.

4. I have been training for more work than I had done before. My forte turns out to be vocabulary and it’s wise to coach students only for basic grammar and vocabulary instead of teaching them all the subjects. This is the conclusion I have reached after many months of experience.

5. Walking. Counting. Vocabulary. Advertisements. Interrelationships. These are the most highlighted domains I have been working on. Though the scientific method is there it mostly eludes.

6. The game with the balls. Dancing light of Grace. Rests in peace.

7. Parish Church. Pariah puranam. Pariah means outcastes. Civan welcomed all into his team irrespective of class, caste or creed. Ramananda, Kabir, Raidas and Valmiki are shining examples of middle age saints who gained fruition after living like outcastes. They opened their doors for all and helped them gain eternal life like Christ

Routine

1. Listening to music and checking the blog. I had some rest before I heard them reading my mind again: in their tone.

2. Cleansing the drainage line outside this house was made difficult by voices. I knew they won’t let me do it because they need a polluted environment to operate.

3. I burnt some garbage and disposed some after sweeping this room. I took another bath. Now this is going to be the place where I need to teach English Grammar and vocabulary to my students. Once I have some money to buy a mirror and another lower I might walk towards Brijpura again.

4. Catalogue of books. Sickle . Communism. Kerala. Dileep Jacob’s father. I had a Poha. The guy with tshirt written on it ” the lost ones. “

5. The players in the field were frolicking. I could have exercised control on my emotions during cleansing ritual but I didn’t want to carry it forward. Let’s make it more interesting now. Ideaphorea.
