Cockroaches as advertisement agents


I heard the whirrr of the grinder from the kitchen. Ketchup . A trip to the  washroom. A glass of water. A cockroach has been waiting on the table where water in the jug and glass and an empty cup is resting. The cup has been used twice for a tea I made. It was served to my father and later to my mother.
The cockroach moved to the other side after the light bulb was switched on. I read a few weblogs and worked on Free Rice. Worked on Duolingo. Now I am in the Pearl League because of my experience points in the last one week. Duolingo seems to be a platform which was improved carefully based on feedback. It’s nothing short of a cartoon program. Learning should be fun. It takes a lot of effort to learn. And it takes a lot of effort to make it funnier to learn.
I looked up the etymology of biff. Esophagus was another interesting word on Free Rice. It means gullet. I am working on Normal Level, which is the third level in the increasing order of difficulty.
I looked up the etymology of Parapet. It means “low wall.” A protective structure in fortification. An embankment.
In the architectural and oratorical landscape of Ulysses, a parapet is both a physical boundary and a symbol of looking out over a city or a “lost cause.”
Etymology of Parapet
The word is a defensive one, born from the need to protect the heart and chest in battle.
* Origin: It comes from the Italian word “parapetto.”
* Root 1: Para– (from parare), meaning “to protect” or “to shield.”
* Root 2: Petto (from the Latin pectus), meaning “the breast” or “the chest.”
* Literal Meaning: A “breast-guard.”
* Evolution: Originally, it was a low wall built atop a rampart to protect soldiers from gunfire or arrows while they stood on a fortified platform. By 1904, it had evolved into the common architectural term for any low protective wall along the edge of a roof, bridge, or balcony.
The Latin Link
You can see the same root pectus in other English words like:
* Pectorals: The chest muscles.
* Expectorate: To cough up from the chest (very relevant for the “windy” and “coughing” atmosphere of the newspaper office).
In the Context of “Aeolus”
While we haven’t seen a literal parapet in the Freeman’s Journal office yet, the word looms large in Stephen’s memory from the first chapter (Telemachus), where he and Mulligan stand on the parapet of the Martello tower. In this chapter, the “parapet” is metaphorical; the men are shielded behind their desks and their “forensic eloquence,” looking down on the street and the “halfpenny” people below.
The word “biff” is a perfect example of onomatopoeia—a word that sounds like the action it describes. In the context of the noisy, “Aeolus” newspaper office, it fits the atmosphere of physical and verbal impact.
Etymology of Biff
* Origin: It emerged in the late 19th century (around 1880–1890), making it relatively “modern” slang for the characters in Ulysses.
* Source: It is almost certainly imitative of the sound of a sharp blow or a slap. It mimics the quick “puff” of air or the “smack” of contact.
* Usage: It was originally used to describe a punch or a box on the ear. By 1904, it was common in both sporting contexts (like boxing) and as a way to describe a sudden, forceful movement or a witty verbal “hit.”
Biff in the Context of the Office
In the “Aeolus” chapter, Joyce is obsessed with the physical sounds of the printing press (the thump, thump, thump of the machines). A “biff” represents the sudden collision of ideas, or the way the editor, Myles Crawford, “hits” his points home. It also reflects the “shindy” (commotion) that the characters are constantly discussing.
Etymology of Contumely
Since you mentioned the “proud man’s contumely” in the previous section, it is worth looking at this heavy, “leaden” word:
* Origin: From the Latin contumelia, meaning “insult” or “abuse.”
* Root: It is related to the Latin contumere (to swell up), which is also the root of the tumor.
* Meaning: To treat someone with “contumely” is to treat them with a kind of “swelling” pride or arrogant contempt. It is the verbal equivalent of a “biff” to someone’s dignity.
The gas cylinder delivery guy didn’t appear today. I discussed it briefly with my parents. I served them fried rice after they returned from early morning duty. Also served ginger tea and water. I organised utensils in the kitchen in the afternoon and mopped the verandah and kitchen floors. Showed a cooker handle to my mother which has lost some attachments.


That was yesterday.


I just had ginger tea. I hear bells in the worship room though the sound of singing devotional songs doesn’t reach me here. I read a weblog I usually read these days. It articulated a lot of things which seem to be true though as usual I was wondering if it wasn’t another discussion about why it was better in the past. There are subtle points which talk about something which isn’t merely nostalgia but I rarely hear them talking positively about the very tools they use perhaps because it’s obvious and it’s the rectification or misuse which needs to be addressed clearly.


I hear the sound of the pressure cooker whistle. I was busier today because students returned from their vacation after a week. I was serving tea, snacks and water to my mother when I noticed them in my room. It was a surprise. They didn’t inform me in advance as they didn’t before disappearing. It took me some time to get free from what I was busy doing and bring a chair to this room. I was having ginger tea myself.


I asked the younger student if he had a nice time celebrating with his family members. I asked him if he enjoyed sweets as he was planning on it and I teased him –  why didn’t he bring any for me. He appeared to be conscious of his standing and didn’t talk much about eating etc. They acknowledged that they had fun and it was after a week they attended school. It was quiet and dull here after the noise of school and a house full of relatives. As usual, the younger asked me about the timer I had set midway before the lesson was over. I read a few more pages before we completed reading about the “Farming Sectar” in India.
My reading was slow paced and I took time to explain a few points. I also asked them a few questions on the topics which were promptly answered most of the time. Their quarrel didn’t disappear altogether. It was less severe than usual. When I was talking about vitamin C, the elder wanted me to tell him why it is important. I told him that most fruits like gooseberry, orange and lemon which are sour to eat contain Vitamin C in them and it’s important to sustain the health of gums and skin.
When the younger one kept combing his hair like a Welshcomb – his hand had oil which he wiped against his shirt. It’s actually a winter innerwear. Then he asked me something which was about why there was oil-I told him that he’s repeating old nonsense to which the elder used the word “sura.” It’s a Hindi word used for ‘blind’ people. It’s also a typo made by an interlocutor who didn’t wait to entertain it as a deliberate code word. Similar to previous such deliberate typos which strangely connect to Penthouse in a TV program or political debates.
When most of the digital and non digital behaviour is limited- the effort to claim programming or control of subjects is a multilayered effort. The ultimate watchword is control which is completely the opposite of freedom. Interestingly – there are absolutely no free agents in such civilizations. There are hierarchies- beginningless and endless. They’re all busy showing up how they control dreams, subconscious and conscious lives of others – and in turn, they trigger others for similar control- to what end?
First is- admitting that it’s surreal or supernatural. Then – giving into it. Then- becoming even more suggestible and then continuing along that reinforcement. Most of these subjects accept “tasks” as completed even with 60-70 percent of success in achieving control over other “subjects.” They can’t give it up because there’s no other option. Everyone is busy exercising the same craft with different names.
You’re predictable. We are calculating. This is what gives us control over you. Maybe you’re even enjoying this control.
A mouse jumps on my left shoulder. I don’t know what’s happening. It jumps to the right shoulder. Then I feel something on my feet. I throw it away and rush to switch the light on. The mouse runs away to hide in the clothes which are hanging on the wall.


Are they programmed?


Who would believe? The entertainment industry uses cockroaches for advertisements. I wouldn’t have believed this just a few days ago. It reminds me of Kafka. I was reminded of a program by a big cockroach. To convince my reader about this message delivered by an insect – I would have to weave a tale with too many clues which I don’t want to indulge in.
What was the issue with this big mouse. I opened the door before I picked up the umbrella to move it away from clothes. Maybe it wasn’t able to go out of the door. It jumped up to the rack and ran fast towards the other rack space. It’s where it came from- the ventilation.
I got my room swept and mopped by asking the maid to do it. Moved many utensils from the kitchen to the wash basin. Served food to my father after giving him hot water from the geyser. I used some of it to wash some clothes and then I had a bath.
I moved a twenty kilogram rice package which was delivered to our house from the verandah to the store room. Took care of the pasteurisation of milk. Removed junk from one of the kitchen stands and replaced old paper with new. Washed the plastic cover and hung it for drying. Organised utensils in the kitchen after they were washed. I helped my father in a transaction. It was a busy day. I kept reading Ulysses. Now reading Lestrygonians.
Since you asked specifically about the roots of this chapter’s title, it’s worth looking at how the ancient Greek origins perfectly set the stage for Bloom’s lunchtime wanderings.


The Etymology of Lestrygonians


The term comes from the Greek Laistrygonians (Λαιστρυγόνες).
* Linguistic Roots: While the exact origin is debated, some scholars link it to the Greek root lastauros (lewd/gluttonous) or laas (stone) + trygao (to gather/harvest).
* Homeric Context: In the Odyssey, the Laestrygonians were a tribe of giant cannibals. When Odysseus’s fleet arrives at their harbor, the giants pelt the ships with massive rocks and “spear” the sailors like fish to eat them.
Why Joyce Chose It
Joyce uses this etymology to frame the “Stomach” of Dublin. In this chapter, everything is viewed through the lens of eating and being eaten:
* The Giants: The “giants” of Dublin are the large, imposing buildings and the institutions (like the Church or the State) that “consume” the lives of the citizens.
* The Cannibalism: When Bloom enters the Burton Restaurant, he sees men eating like animals—shoveling food, grunting, and bolting down meat. He realizes that for humans to live, something else must die.
* The “Rocks”: Instead of literal boulders, Bloom is pelted by “rocks” of memory, hunger, and the hard reality of poverty (like the Dedalus children “in flitters”).

We know enough to know that we don’t.


Geography. They want to study Geography today. I start reading. Wait, we had already covered the fourth chapter, which is about the climate. It’s not until I reach to the passage where measurements for thirty years are discussed as a requirement for determining the climate at a place that I get a Deja Vu.
They accept when I tell it.
What should I read them?
The first chapter.
The usual:
The elder has done his homework. Partially. The younger hasn’t even attempted it.
It’s tricky to get milk pasteurised. If you think it’s the fixed amount of time including when the stove is on ‘sim’ and when it’s on ‘fast’ – you will not get it right. It is more about how long it takes after the gas is burning up faster. It needs your undivided presence then.
I hear the call of the milkman for the grandmother who’s absent. I greet him as I approach. I receive milk as mother had asked me to do. I put it on the gas stove for pasteurisation.
Earlier, before I could serve tea to parents, students arrived. I was supposed to bring chair inside the room and remove utensils from the table. This gives the elder plenty of time to scroll through his Instagram feed.
I am patient. I think he would give it up without insisting. He won’t. I wait.
He shows me a video from his classroom!
That’s height of freedom in a government school. Artistic freedom. His teacher was within the class when the video was being made. How’s it possible?
Then he happily narrates how three of his friends had beaten up a student who had complained about them. They carry smartphones to school.
Backbenchers.
He sides with the horseplay. He sides with the winners. The teacher is connected with the student who made the video and also connected with the student who showed me the video and they’re not scared.
I warmed up the tea again for mother before she left.
Father is attending a call.
Did the younger student spend time before the mirror? Yes.
They clashed once or twice today though it’s not serious. I advised the elder to not strike on head.
He’s wearing another wristband of friendship. It has just FRIEN written on it.
It’s sharp. Metallic. I warn him to be careful with that.
Steel bangle. Thread. Metal wristband. These are all fashionable props for the role he’s playing in the theatre of life: a rowdy teenager who’s tough.
As a plump teenager he wasn’t like this. Adolescence, harmones, company and environment have transformed him dramatically in the last five years.
He belongs to bullies. He’s proud of that. He’s even enjoying being rude and violent to his sibling. More than ever before.
I try to tease the younger one just a bit about the smartphone. It’s puzzling. His expressions don’t suggest that there’s any competition regarding the smartphone use and ownership. It’s not an impending war. He’s going to fight slowly for a long time to get the luxury his elder brother is enjoying.
However, I again remark on his complete loss of interest in studies. In doing that I realise that I am not being like my usual self. I am behaving more like my parents who used to make me feel ashamed when they wanted me to work harder on studies.
The things I tell him are all facts. Only thing is: I am doing it regularly. Rehash. Balderdash? No. Rehash.
When I ask the elder if he recalls his brother’s previous performance: he hardly takes any interest, though he nods. He’s more concerned about acnes on his face. The younger is busy examining his image in the mirror. I talk about covering the window pane with newspapers. The elder is in agreement.
The younger appears to be dreamy and lost in the thought before they leave.
The Geography chapter was brief. They ask about China. China has been in the news. They might have heard the news.
We study a bar graph which has relative comparison of countries with biggest geographical areas in the world.
The elder comments on the small size of country in the map shown. I take note of this and start discussion on how small we actually are in comparison to the area of a country. Then I upscale the discussion by using refrences to galaxies, solar systems and universe. He asks if galaxies blast. He might have heard of the Big Bang. I briefly tell him about Quasars, formation of stars and hypothetical universe.
I tell him how we really don’t know much about anything. I tell him how no single human being knows not more than bits and pieces. Even collective knowledge of humanity is much less compared to collective ignorance.
We know enough to know that we don’t.

The Stockholm Jockey Syndrome!

  • 1. In the years 2020-21: i used to take my lunch at Deendayaal Rasoi sometimes. I went there for 24 consecutive days. There are 24 articles I published based on my experience as a record. The process was/is: contact. Registration by telling your name and then eating your food carefully.
2. This institution is being conducted by Sangam Sevalaya to commemorate Pundit Deendayal Upadhyaya's work as a social reformer: his vision was to help alleviate hunger in world.

3. The word ‘Antyodaya’ means ‘ascendency of the last one.’ Compare it with the Sarvodaya movement. Compare it with Ubhayodaya movement and so on. The suffix Udaya is used for ‘rising’: for a new age of greater freedom and prosperity for all. Unless: the last man, the last animal, the last word, the last patient, the last bird receives the advantage of any plans: the plans are useless. Unless U get the benefit of any plans run by any authorities; government, legacy systems or otherwise: they’re Useless:  To help raise the most downtrodden, pariah, outcasts, scheduled castes and tribes is the extended import of the word. If the last charioteer of the Sun, the last horse of the chariot of Sun is ailing, the rest of the six horses can’t keep the chariot steady.

6. I used to get proper lunch earlier @ 5 r*. 4 wheat breads, vegetable curries, pulses and rice. Thereafter: it was @10 rupees per plate. Consistency in the quality of food was missing because: I used to be a regular[citation needed*as per the visitors’ registers 2020-2021] visitor(makes no sense logically: maybe it was because visitor went at different times of days in different mindsets hence felt change in quality and quantity of food: pending revisions by editor’s association Chhatarpur).

7. Was surveying premises in the vicinity of Plan: drank 16 sips from Shri Shri 1008 Shri Digambar Ajitnath temple. It was from a water cooler and it was pleasant to taste. Prior: interviewed a municipal corporation worker named Rajkumar Dumaar who was working to cleanse the drainage sewage line. Upon being investigated, he told me that he's getting only 9000-10000 rupees for 8 hours of work everyday, despite 10 years of experience: which makes it next-to-impossible to take care of daily needs of his family. He's not yet a permanent employee.
8. Visited Janapada Panchayata Office. A 600 rs* gratuity is given per month to those people who register with Aadhaar/Domicile: It's for elders (male/female); widows; young women[strange!Only young women and elder males/females: why not Gandhi bachaao Gandhi Padhaao(dormaamoodoctorstrangestlogicalcalculus)? ]. I interviewed Veerendra Raikwar who was sitting outside the office before i. attended a call. i observed two dustbins: one on the left had 'Zila Chhatarpur' written on it ; whereas the other had Janapada Panchayat: written on it. Puzzles to puzzle the treasure hunter: what's bin acname. What dreams maycomb.

The last 8 years of experience with dishonest people who hid my identity cards was enough to tell me to not to care for such funds. Where's employment when you need work? Where are those people offering jobs when you need? They've disappeared like horns of the hares.

5. Cleanliness survey 2022 is in progress: The events being organized are not a  match for the pace of cleanliness as it’s lacking. For example: recently held football event left a lot of debris and slug which needs to wiped out. I have been to stadium for about 3-4 days in the year 2022 AD. without any changes in the level of cleanliness. It’s relatively dirty compared to other sectors. Some segments of pavilion and pool need cleansing. The area behind the banyan tree stand need further work by Metropolitan Area Network associates. It can’t happen unless players over there take individual responsibility to cleanse it together. Young people need to join hands and come forward to make a positive change in the state-of-affairs. CCNA.

6. Gymcarryminatiyoga hall has a notice of “200/- rupees of punishment for spitting or sullying the premise, yet, all four corners have spit marks.” It needs to be refurbished.Uttarakhand.

7. The third stands from pavilion, on both sides need huge amounts of work for cleanliness and renovation. Walls have graffiti on them, they need better artworks. Youth need to honour arenas where future of their nations is being created else they would not be able to compete with other participants in international academic competitions.

Posco Act and Article 14!

1. I could figure out a way to retain flag of Finland. It wasn’t easy amidst distractions. I persisted.

2. The linear equation is: X+1=0.

3. Coordinates: (a,b)=(-1,4)::(-1,-4)

4. Background: White. Stripes: Blue.

5. I worked on Free Rice site by #WFP for a while during football match. It taught me a bit about country flags. The ground was square with four corners flagged with a yellow-orange flag. Ten flags on Northern side were variegated in colors.

6. Footballers were wearing red and white. Their lowers were black in color. Chhatarpur goalkeeper was donning jersey number 13. One of the empires was Basheer Khan. One Agrawal was among chief guests. Anees Khan was declared performer of the match.

7. Too bad they didn’t declare the prize money. The drone was hovering over the ground. Producers, organizers, managers, coaches, captains, players, commentators and assistants along with spectators were stakeholders in the business.

8. A gentleman suggested me to figure out my salary with the management of school where I am doing storytelling class. Very few people are so frank. Yet, only such people are remembered as true well wishers in the long run. His logic was simple:

9. Headmaster and headmistress receive 70K and 60K respectively for 6-8 hours of daily work per month. That’s 240 hours for 70000 rupees. Accordingly I should be paid at least 10K per month or about 330 rupees per hour. Edit: headmistress is without salary for a few months now: WHY? Education ministry Madhya Pradesh.

10. My experience has been that of unpaid labour. On top of that: I barely get minimal support among lizards and crocodiles waiting to harvest at every odd hour.

11. BRCRCDSPCSP or something else would be there to not let you teach the way you want to. Maximum resistance for maximum revenue. Multiple stakeholders as education is a business. Indian teachers are cheaper than…fill in the blanks on your own.

12. Equality before law and prohibition against discrimination based on sex, caste, religion, creed or age. Articles 14, 15 as per the COI.

The Trip to Chita!

1. Articles 13 and 14 of constitution of India. Equality before law and exemption from certain laws in special cases(ex: article 31)

2. I went on a trip. The plan was to watch a football match in the local stadium. A tournament. Something else happened. There were some kids in the nets. There used to be a cricket academy couple of years ago which is not extant anymore.

3. I picked up my grains and started walking towards the next destination. The Railway station.

4. I met a neighborhood friend on my way who was heading towards a medical agency.

5. I promised to meet him later as he had offered me a lift for 30 meters. Strange; isn’t it? I intended to walk many kilometres but mere two blocks needed to be crossed-over via a lift. It’s strange indeed.

6. I heard a call from behind : “Anand.”

7. Pandit Goswami measures Paras Garments from ward no. 9 called out my name. I turned back, greeted him and asked if he had a Jockey underwear at his shop, to which he replied: “no, but we do have isha underwear.” I emphasized importance of getting the specific item I intended to buy. Then we exchanged our whereabouts.

8. I met the neighborhood friend on aforementioned medical shop as promised. He was buying medicines for his mother.

9. He has returned after taking an examination in Bhopal. He’s an aspirant for IES. Another exam to take next week. He broke the news of his elder cousin clearing first phase of screening test in a company.

10. I spoke to him about my new Pytm account. We scheduled a meeting for this evening. I counselled him to take it easy as two exams within a fortnight is not an easy affair. The meeting began after some delay as he had some other tasks to attend.

11. I bought a Chutki pouch for five rupees near Chandrashekhar Azad Square. It was the old icecream seller. Sahuji Barafwaale from old new panna naka. The bus stand for Panna has had way too many variations: what was is was is merry-go-round. A hodgepodge. A medley. A maze. A deja vu. A strange verisimilitude of etude. It’s a mixture of cardamom, catzu, betel nut, flavored natural substances. Mint. It is used as a mouth freshner. Not for minors.

12. I had a cup of tea outside the Chaay railway station. A cutting chai. It was worth five rupees. Pleasant in taste. Entered the premise with caution. Observed recent developments, cleanliness. Arrangements in the waiting rooms. Water is available, cleanliness is above average. Schedule for trains is clearly available at the tickets window. A lot of ongoing development. I kept walking besides the railway tracks. Took some pictures:

Article 11

1. Took a class on storytelling in a nearby government primary school. The story was titled “Out.” It was in Hindi with illustrations.

2. Introduced words like stumps, bat, ball and described types of balls to students.

3. Spoke for about 10 minutes on types of outdoor sports played with pebbles, balls, hide- and- seek.

4. Students wanted to participate in another story. They looked enthusiastic and energetic. Storytelling is one of the best ways to inculcate words and help augment their vocabulary.

5. Walked about an hour after taking the class. Watched a football match in a local stadium for a while. There were some spectators and a few people in the audience. Then went to Shatabdi ground to watch some college students playing cricket with a tennis ball. Last time around a cricket academy used to be there. I was in touch with the coach who belonged to Kanpur, UP. Now it’s a silent phase. I had barely got acquainted with academy players and it has moved on.

6. I have been more active than usual on Twitter. It’s about time I learn tricks of the trade. Tradecraft craftmine minecraft craftsmanship shipworkman Mansetude.

7. Free rice is a nonprofit organisation by World Food Program. It’s run by United Nations. For every rice grain donated on it you get 10 more grains donated by sponsors of the site. The agenda is to create a generation free from hunger. And offcourse to educate children all over the world. WFP received nobel peace prize in the year 2020. It has many categories where you can learn words, languages, maths, literature, architecture and other subjects. I hope you would visit the site and explore it. A bit of your time might save lives in Ethiopia, Somalia and other countries where children are malnutritioned and uneducated. Thanks for your valuable time and perusal. Have a nice weekend.

After Deendayal Rasoi Day Five!

1. I took some pictures: uploaded them on instagram before I began writing this article. The weather is pleasant.

2. It is Sunday market. The Ramlila ground was fully occupied. I had a pleasant meal in Deendayal rasoi. The scrubber was inside the soap bucket. I looked for it around me and then dipped my hand inside the bucket. Guacamole is avocado dipped in a dish. Dipped in what?

3. I saw an exquisite Robin after exiting toilet. I washed my feet before I came to this place.

4. This has been an extraordinary year in many senses. Despite all miracles: it seems as if it’s a huge burden i am carrying. Most people don’t recall words from our last conversations whereas I tell them about chains of events and causation in vain. It’s because of miracles: it seems like an eternity. And there’s an eternity in the making. There’s no death, no aging or defeat in this game.

5. I developed following models for young people I used to interact with:

A. Game

B. Journey

C. War

D. Dream

E. School

6. I have no doubt that I love the School model the most. And yet: these are merely five prime models. There can be countless such models.

7. Journey model is used by Guru or psychonauts. Internal or external journeys are used with landmarks to ascertain progress. Crystalline intelligence is mostly about memories. Good or bad. Organized or disorganized.

8. Every model overlaps with other. As Kabbalistic sephirods scheme has material and spiritual worlds overlapping each other.

9. Take Truth realm universe or Sachkhand for example. There can be countless witnesses to tell about their experiences. I use it to debunk myths.

10. Try it: things are what they seem. If you see people : you’re seeing people. If you see trees: you’re seeing trees. If they say no: they mean no.

11. The laws are wierd and merciless.i participated in making of a video which was shot under Ashok tree. I was a reluctant participant. That journalist is present in the library today. He’s a member of the trust. I was reading “Teere Teere Narmada,” by Amritlal Vegad then. I wanted to buy the book but as they had only one copy left: I didn’t.

12. Shri took my picture. We were reading the post about fishes that was published yesterday from this very spot. First she asked why I don’t upload my selfie pictures on my blogs. Then, without my permission she took two shots. I asked her to show them to me-out of curiosity about my appearance. Then I requested her to delete them. She didn’t. I asked her to give me a picture of her face. She refused. I kept taking her shots with hope of capturing her face. She covered it. Then she asked me to not use her body’s picture on my blog. I agreed. What’s so special about our faces? Conditioning.

I reminded her to not behave in a way with others in which we don’t want others to behave with us.

“Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you.”

13. She also showed a sketch done by her. She cut the paper and used it on back of her smartphone. She’s quick to learn and evolve. It was indeed flattering to have my picture captured by someone. But I don’t want to feel incapacitated. She refused to be captured. So did I. One day I was captured and they refused to delete my picture. I didn’t like it.

Eventually: she deleted my images and showed her phone. I deleted all 14 of her images and showed it to her.

14. She didn’t do her homework again. Why do people behave the way they do? We played on Free Rice: German, Algebra and Chemical symbols. She gave up on the last one very easily. Scored much better than me on German but lost on Algebra.

The key to score better than her is:

1. To not to chat with her as you play.

2. To focus on maximizing score instead of being righteous.

3. To not to multitask.

15. All indo-germanic languages have similar roots. That’s why I find it easy to answer questions on German and Spanish though I have never studied them systematically.

16. If I kept playing on Free Rice: soon I would be able to learn basic working ‘visual vocabulary’ of all languages offered there: German, Spanish, Greek and Latin.

17. As I was listening to Lucky Ali’s song from his album Sifar: the triangle on the palm symbol attracted my attention. Mercury, Saturn and Moon mounts are on top of three lines which create the triangle. The shape of Paratha. The cone. The dot in the centre is verily the Sun. The Self. The void. The black hole. Neither nor, either or, 1/0. Sefer Yetzirah.

18. Those who are quick to promise are found faltering when required to fulfill them. Don’t trust young people about serious issues. Buying half a kilogram of guava costs 20 rupees whereas eating them by plucking from a farmer’s farm brings 1000 demons of guilt. This is what comes from experience. If your requirements are simple, definable and affordable : they can be fulfilled if you’re willing to pay the price.

19. Ramcharan Vidyarthi came as I was cataloguing books. He told about Damayanti madam not being happy with my sweeping of library hall. I have been sweeping it on every Saturday. Yesterday she got it Sweeped before I reached. This gave them the right to talk behind my back, then bring it to my front, then make me write it and earn extra brownies. This is the way of the world. A tall broom is needed to remove cobwebs. I should have shown knack of tying the broom to the bamboo which was put outside the library hall. I didn’t.

20. Why should I learn driving a second hand Maruti 800 which has a complex gear mechanism when technological advancements have brought cars which run via manual gears which are as easy as flying personal chartered planes?

21. Why this third world mass manufacturing market of filth has all of the people producing offsprings who have similar fates? Limited and oppressing?

22. I set myself a goal to again reach Kumbhaka level 4 minutes. Lia was responding to oxygenation then. I confounded her with Nandita. Prosopagnosia. I had achieved it in 2003. This year took me on excursions which taught me mysteries of Atma Pariyojna. Mysterious ways of Kabbalistic Deuteronomy. I had to shut myself off comletely as every walk used to bring experience worth one book.

Tuesday Morning!

1. I bowled 10 overs. Yesterday evening I jogged. There are: runner’s high, jogger’s high and walker’s high. The trio of Sir Donald Bradman, Gandhi and Vallalar achieved the third one. Neither manichavasagar nor Vallalar were hounds of Shiva. They’re not in Nayanmars. That gives you hope!

2. I intend to play many jams today.

3. The last three days were strange because three planets: Sun, Jupiter and Venus were holding the office of Jaiminee Atmakaraka by just a few hours difference. Children born during these times have peculiar destinies.

4. Gandhi was one such child.

5. I saw his picture in Durban in 1904. There are 72 people. His head is most tilted towards right: that tells you about his adamant righteousness. He was striving towards balance by regulating himself more than others. Yet: passive aggressive behaviour didn’t leave him until the end. What Mahaveera used to achieve divine knowledge: he used to integrate divine with social.

Charity and Memory!

1. I had charity food after a long time today: in one packet there were four pooris and some dry brinjal potato curry which was tasty though I wasn’t very hungry. Whether it was orchestrated or not: they reached the Gandhi Smarak Bhavan the moment I reached and like the day before when I had introduced Ashutosh Thakur to librarian I had to introduce these people to the staff. It was their father’s punyatithi. One year since he departed. It was also a Punyatithi or birthday for Tiwari Ji, Sardar Patel, Indira Gandhi : I was invited to stay for the memorial after the class but I needed rest.

South

2. The stadium is reserved for election. I don’t know if it would only be Sunday. I bowled five overs in morning and about three overs in the evening: a total of 50 balls today. In a way my body is recuperating and getting rest which I might not have allowed it if ground was available.

3. Nothing spectacular. Plenty of rest. I need to play some vocabulary jams now.

Charvaka: Yavat Jeevet Sukham Jeevet!

1. Despite being tired I write this.

2. I write this only and only because it’s the purest and most authentic of my body of Gnosis. It’s what remains when everyone around has abandoned me. It has revived me: time and again. Ideas with a stamp of actual experience: free from indoctrination.

3. I borrowed another hundred rupees note from Vandana with a promise to return the money by the first of November when I receive payment from my patrons: four fifty rupees.

4. I also took an advance payment of two hundred rupees from the secretary: my other employer. She looks at it not like a loan because she gives it to many employees working under her. Here I have witnessed Mahajani forever and I could understand true import of Time only in the year 2020. The events worth all previous years combined together happened in this year. This isn’t to make me feel happy about how much my knowledge body or chitta or experience has increased : but to underline that despite UG and others: there’s some solid foundation on which various departments of knowledge or experience are based. This is the language of a believer who has the power to negate everything.

5. Bhagvata Purana as well as Hindu scriptures are nothing but formulae to protect mind. If I had a teacher like myself: I would have been given free access to library I visit now. Saatvat Tantra versus Shaiva Tantra are practical ways to survive in the world. People here could never accept me or my way of living: which is fine: everyday you see countless gutka shakers coloring walls: though they worship goddess of opulence who loves cleanliness.

6. Chanting one name gives one pointedness : but to be able to maintain the environment: where you practice: you need to espouse diversity. This needs stories and fables which are carved in the shape of environmental prototypes.

7. When the horse which is to be sacrificed in the Ashvamedh of Vedic bramhins listens its praises: in forms of various hymns: it thinks : they are for me. Then comes the invisible owner of the horse. It’s Arabic. Gulzar has summed it up in Lakdi ki Kathi…

8. The Hayagriva is appreciated as avatara in one canto of Bhagvata and criticized as the thief who stole Vedas from Bramha in another.

9. I was reading Jainism’s Philosophy: as far as ‘hope’ is considered: it’s the most optimistic of philosophies: it says : you are a soul which can attain perfect enlightenment. Samkhya and Yoga are similar with Jnana and Opulences being countless and ever incremental. Buddhism was one step ahead: it took a stop at enlightenment which was known as Arhat and told about dependent arising: denying soul as well as supersoul. Empty souls or elementals or tanha are Wandering Souls in purgatory or inbetween schemes in Buddhism and Christianity.

10. The book clearly tells: the Vedic bramhins didn’t have complete understanding of transmigration of soul until they borrowed it from Buddhism during Upanishads era. Hinduism being inclusive : included Buddha as an avatar of Vishnu and made it look like it was always so.

11. Ambrosia. Light. Rudra Granthi. Vishnu Granthi. Bramha Granthi. Vishwaroopam of Geeta: are all my first hand experiences supported by books. Logos or the word brought light and counting or Kabbalah taught me to survive.

12. World bank, USA, India : they are all in loan. Even the goddess of wealth might be in loan. I am free. I owe nothing to nobody. It’s a FACT to the best of my knowledge.

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

I just raised 34000 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. The kid said no to class. Job offer no longer stands.

2. I read a bit in the library and catalogued books.

3. I had clear visuals today. In stadium, in academy where I reached by crossing the gate. I have told many people about the tally counters which can be worn on fingers. They should be available for sell in this city. In my vicinity.

4. A zeera seller asked me directions and I saw him thrice. A lady wearing glasses with a mole mark below her nose stopped by to take a call and she took two calls. She had couple of advertisers with her on a bike whose number added to 13.

5. I have to buy a bathing soap and eat a bada paav with chilli worth rupees 10. Do I own this smartphone? Or is it a legacy device? If I do: there shouldn’t be manipulation of things I can easily handle: like listening to music, counting, reading and writing. If I don’t : of what use is this device anyway? I will never be more than a puppet: barely writing anything. Barely reading anything. Forgetting addresses I already knew. Bowing to every passerby without working on my own. Immortality should be perfect liberation. Powers that stay at all times. Not the mind control.

6. I practiced body postures, alternate nostril breathing and forced exhalation. I took bath twice and went to take milk in the kitchen but seeing that two people were already present in the kitchen: I moved out listening to music. Why would my phone’s music be controlled by someone else?

7. God gift. Science?

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.
