linguistics – Dancing light of grace

Posted on February 8, 2026 by dancinglightofgrace

Papyrus, palimpsest, parchment

This passage marks the collapse of the high-minded oratory into the physical reality of a Dublin pub crawl. The “wind” that has been blowing through the office is finally redirected toward a “boosing shed.”
“A Great Future Behind Him”
Lenehan provides a cruel, witty epitaph for John F. Taylor. By saying he had a “great future behind him,” he implies that Taylor’s potential was all in the past—he died before he could see the “Land of Promise” (Irish Independence).
* Expectorated Demise: Lenehan uses the word “expectorated” (to cough up from the chest) to describe Taylor’s death from illness. It’s a grisly pun on the “wind” and “breath” that fueled Taylor’s oratory.
The Akasic Records
As the group prepares to leave, Stephen has a profound, silent realization about the nature of sound and history.
* The Concept: The “Akasic (Akashic) Records” is a term from Theosophy (the “opal hush” crowd mentioned earlier). It refers to a mystical compendium of all human events, thoughts, words, and emotions believed to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence (the “ether”).
* Stephen’s Cynicism: To Stephen, these grand speeches are just “Dead noise.” He imagines the words being “howled and scattered” by the wind. Even if they are recorded in the Akasic ether, they are gone from the physical world.
Etymology of Adjourn
Stephen suggests the house “do now adjourn.”
* Origin: From the Old French ajourner.
* Breakdown: À (to) + jour (“day”).
* Literal Meaning: To put off to another day.
* In Context: It is the formal language of parliament or a courtroom, used here ironically to mean “let’s go get a drink.”
Etymology of Vellum (The Final Push)
Since you asked earlier, let’s look at the “calfskin” that outlasts the wind.
* Origin: From the Old French vélin, derived from vel (calf), which comes from the Latin vitellus (diminutive of vitulus, meaning “calf”).
* The Connection: It is the same root as the word “Veal.” * Significance: While the “news” is printed on cheap, acidic paper (papyrus’s descendant) that will crumble, the “Law” and the “Classics” were written on vellum to endure. Stephen is worried his own “words” are just paper, not vellum.

While they all start with the same rhythmic “P,” these three terms represent the evolution of how humanity has “caught” the wind of speech and turned it into a permanent record. They are related by function (writing surfaces), but they differ wildly in material and permanence.
1. Papyrus: The Plant
As we saw in the “cradle of bulrushes,” papyrus is the ancestor of paper.
* Material: Made from the pith (the inner core) of the Cyperus papyrus sedge.
* Process: The pith is sliced into thin strips, layered in a cross-hatch pattern, moistened, and pressed together. The natural sap acts as a glue.
* Vulnerability: It is brittle and decays easily in damp climates. This is why most surviving papyri come from the dry sands of Egypt.
* Etymology: From the Greek papyros, which is the direct root of our modern word “paper.”
2. Parchment: The Animal
When the supply of papyrus from Egypt was cut off (or became too expensive), the ancient world turned to a more durable, “leathern” solution.
* Material: Specifically prepared animal skins—usually sheep, calves, or goats. Unlike leather, it is not tanned; it is limed, scraped, and dried under tension.
* Process: It creates a smooth, incredibly durable surface that can last for thousands of years.
* Vellum: A high-quality subtype of parchment made specifically from calfskin (from the same root as “veal”).
* Etymology: From the Greek Pergamene, referring to the city of Pergamum, where it was reportedly perfected as an alternative to papyrus.
3. Palimpsest: The Ghost
A palimpsest isn’t a material itself, but a recycled document. Because parchment was so expensive and labor-intensive to produce, scribes would often scrape the ink off an old book to write something new on top of it.
* The “Ghost” Text: Over time, the original ink often faintly reappears, or can be seen using UV light. This allows historians to read “lost” texts hidden beneath newer ones (like finding a pagan Greek play under a medieval prayer).
* Etymology: From the Greek palin (“again”) + psestos (“scraped”). It literally means “scraped clean again.”
* In Joyce: Stephen Dedalus’s mind is a palimpsest. He is constantly “scraping away” the present moment to see the “ghosts” of St. Augustine, Dante, or Shakespeare underneath.

The silence following the speech is a rare moment of genuine awe in the noisy newspaper office. For a second, the “wind” of idle chatter stops, and the men are forced to confront the weight of their own history.
The Reactant Silence
Professor MacHugh has just finished his performance, and the group is momentarily “paralyzed” (to use Ignatius Gallaher’s favorite word).
* Stephen’s Reaction: Stephen is impressed, but also wary. He recognizes the power of the “language of the outlaw,” but he is still struggling to find his own voice amidst these giants.
* The “Dumb Belch”: Joyce includes the “dumb belch of hunger” right in the middle of the noble oratory. This is classic Naturalism—reminding the reader that while the soul is reaching for Sinai’s mountaintop, the body is still stuck in a Dublin office, hungry and mortal.
Etymology of Bulrushes
When Taylor mentions the “cradle of bulrushes,” he is evoking the most famous “hidden” origin story in history.
* Origin: It is a compound of the Middle English bul (meaning “large” or “thick”) + rusche (rush/reed).
* The Meaning: A “bulrush” is essentially a “large reed.” In the context of the Nile, it specifically refers to Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus).
* The Irony: Papyrus is the plant from which paper (and therefore newspapers) was originally made. By mentioning the bulrushes, Taylor is linking the origin of the Law (Moses) to the very medium (the Press) that the men in the room are currently using—and arguably degrading.
Etymology of Outlaw
The speech ends on the powerful word “outlaw.”
* Origin: From the Old Norse útlagi.
* Breakdown: út (“out”) + lög (“law”).
* Meaning: Someone who is “outside the law” and therefore denied its protection.
* The Rhetorical Trick: Taylor takes a word that is usually a badge of shame and turns it into a badge of honor. He argues that the truly “divine” law is always found in the language of those the Empire has cast out.

This is the “speech within a speech,” where the metaphor of Israel as Ireland reaches its peak. Taylor (via MacHugh) uses the grandeur of Egypt to mock the British Empire’s claim that its “superior” culture should replace the “primitive” Irish tongue.
The “St. Augustine” Interruption
Before the speech begins, Stephen’s mind wanders to the “Fathers” of the Church.
> “It was revealed to me that those things are good which yet are corrupted…”
>
* The Source: This is from St. Augustine’s Confessions.
* The Logic: Augustine argues that for something to be “corrupted,” it must have been “good” to begin with.
* Stephen’s Reaction: “Ah, curse you!” He is frustrated that his brain is so saturated with Catholic theology that he can’t even listen to a secular speech without his “spiritual fathers” butting in.
The “Tablets of the Law” and the “Language of the Outlaw”
The climax of the speech is a masterpiece of rhetorical reversal. Taylor argues that if Moses had been “civilized” by Egypt, he would have remained a slave.
* The Paradox: Moses comes down from the mountain with the Tables of the Law (the ultimate authority), but Taylor reminds us they were written in the “language of the outlaw” (Hebrew, which the Egyptians despised).
* The Irish Point: Taylor is telling the Dubliners that even if the world calls their language “primitive” or “outlawed,” it is the only language through which they can receive their own divine “inspiration.”
Etymology of Polity
The Egyptian High Priest boasts of his “polity.”
* Origin: From the Greek politeia (“citizenship” or “government”), from polis (“city”).
* The Meaning: It refers to an organized society or a specific form of government. The High Priest is mocking the “nomad herdsmen” (the Irish/Jews) for lacking a structured state.
Etymology of Trireme and Quadrireme
These are the “galleys” that furrow the waters.
* Root: The Latin remus means “oar.”
* Trireme: Tri- (three) + remus. A ship with three banks of oars.
* Quadrireme: Quadri- (four) + remus. A ship with four banks of oars.
* The Context: These terms evoke the massive, overwhelming military and commercial power of an empire—the “thunder and the seas.”

This moment is the “high-water mark” of eloquence in the chapter. Professor MacHugh is preparing to perform a speech within a speech—reconstructing the words of John F. Taylor from memory.
The “Ferial” Tone and the Orator
MacHugh adopts a ferial tone to set the scene.
* Etymology of Ferial: From the Latin ferialis, meaning “belonging to a holiday or feast day.” In church liturgy, a “ferial day” is one where no specific feast is celebrated—it is a plain, solemn, weekday tone.
* The Image of Taylor: Taylor is described as a “dying man” with a “shaggy beard.” This is the classic image of the prophet—someone whose physical body is failing but whose spirit is “pouring” out through his voice.
The Egyptian Parallel
Taylor’s genius was in his use of analogy. He didn’t just argue for the Irish language; he transported his audience to ancient Egypt to make the Irish struggle feel “noble” and “ancient.”
* The Analogy: * The Egyptian High Priest: Represents the British Empire (Fitzgibbon).
* The Youthful Moses: Represents the young Irish generation being told to abandon their heritage for the “culture” of the masters.
* The “Crooked Smokes”: Stephen thinks to himself: “And let our crooked smokes.” This is a quote from the final scene of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline. It refers to the “smoke” of a sacrifice rising to the gods. In this room, the “sacrifice” is the tobacco of the listeners, rising as they fall under the spell of the speech.
Etymology of Impromptu
The headline for this section highlights the “unprepared” nature of the genius.
* Origin: From the Latin phrase in promptu.
* Breakdown: In (in) + promptu (a state of readiness/visibility), from promere (“to bring forth”).
* Meaning: To have something “in readiness.” It describes a speech that is brought forth from the mind instantly, without written notes.
Etymology of Shorthand
MacHugh notes there was no shorthandwriter present.
* Origin: A simple English compound, but the concept is ancient (Stenography).
* History: In 1904, shorthand was the “high tech” of the press office, allowing journalists to capture the “wind” of speech before it vanished.
* Etymology of Stenography: From the Greek stenos (“narrow/close”) + graphein (“to write”).

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.

This section highlights the tension between the “mystic” world of the Dublin literary revival and the “hard” oratory of Irish politics.
The “Opal Hush” and the “Bag of Tricks”
J. J. O’Molloy is teasing Stephen about his associations with the Theosophists and the “Hermetic” poets.
* A.E. (George Russell): A famous Irish mystic, poet, and painter. He was a central figure in the Irish Literary Revival.
* “The Opal Hush”: This refers to the ethereal, misty, and somewhat vague style of the Celtic Twilight poets.
* Madame Blavatsky: Helena Blavatsky, the co-founder of the Theosophical Society. Calling her a “nice old bag of tricks” is a cynical Dubliner’s way of dismissing her complex occult philosophies as stage magic.
* Planes of Consciousness: In Theosophy, these are the different levels of reality (astral, mental, etc.). The joke is that Stephen—ever the joker—was likely mocking A.E. by asking serious questions about them at 3:00 AM.
The Contrast: John F. Taylor vs. Fitzgibbon
Professor MacHugh pushes past the “mystic” talk to return to Oratory. He sets the stage for what is often considered the “grandest” speech in the book: John F. Taylor’s defense of the Irish language.
* Gerald Fitzgibbon: Representing the “Establishment.” His style is “courteous haughtiness”—the language of the successful, British-aligned elite.
* “The Vials of His Wrath”: A biblical allusion (Revelation 16) describing divine judgment.
* “The Proud Man’s Contumely”: A direct quote from Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” soliloquy. MacHugh is showing that the elite used the finest English literature to look down upon the “weak” Irish movement.
Etymology of Morale
J. J. O’Molloy calls Magennis a man of “high morale.”
* Origin: From the French moral, which comes from the Latin moralis (concerning manners or customs).
* Shift in Meaning: In 1904, “morale” often referred to what we now call “morals” or “integrity,” rather than just “team spirit.” It implies Magennis is a man of upright character.
Etymology of Oratory
* Origin: From the Latin orator, from orare (“to speak” or “to pray”).
* The Connection: In ancient Rome, an orator wasn’t just a speaker; they were a civic leader. MacHugh is mourning the loss of this “priest-like” power of the tongue.

This passage shifts the “wind” from the noisy chaos of current events to the heavy, solemn tradition of the Law. J.J. O’Molloy, the struggling lawyer, is trying to defend his profession against the editor’s cynicism by invoking the “ghosts” of Irish eloquence.
“Sufficient for the day…”
J.J. O’Molloy is quoting a famous biblical line (Matthew 6:34): “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
* The Twist: He changes “evil” to “newspaper.” It’s a weary acknowledgment that in the world of journalism, only the present moment matters—everything else is quickly forgotten.
The “Farthing Press” and the “Guttersheet”
O’Molloy is insulting the modern press by listing its less-than-noble branches:
* Farthing Press: Refers to Alfred Harmsworth (Lord Northcliffe), who started the Daily Mail. A “farthing” was the smallest British coin.
* Bowery Guttersheet: A dig at the sensationalist “Yellow Journalism” of New York (The Bowery was a rough NYC neighborhood).
* The Skibbereen Eagle: A famous small Irish paper that once claimed it was “keeping its eye” on the Tsar of Russia—a classic example of local self-importance.
The Law: Mosaic vs. Roman
J.J. O’Molloy describes a speech by Seymour Bushe regarding the Childs murder case (a real-life 1899 fratricide case in Dublin).
* Mosaic Code (Lex Talionis): The “Law of Retaliation”—an eye for an eye.
* Etymology: Lex (Law) + Talis (Such/Like).
* Roman Justice: O’Molloy (and Bushe) argue that Roman law was more “polished” and intellectual.
* The Moses of Michelangelo: Bushe supposedly compared the “terrible” face of Michelangelo’s Moses to the stern nature of the Law.
Stephen’s Shakespearian Intrusion
While they talk of murder, Stephen thinks: “And in the porches of mine ear did pour.”
* The Reference: This is a quote from Hamlet. It describes how Hamlet’s father was murdered—by poison poured into his ear while he slept.
* The Connection: Stephen is obsessed with “poured” words. To him, the rhetoric of these men is like a “poison” being poured into his ears.
Etymology of Magistrate (Magistra)
The headline says ITALIA, MAGISTRA ARTIUM (Italy, Mistress/Teacher of Arts).
* Origin: From the Latin magister (master) or magistra (mistress).
* Root: Derived from magis (“more”). A magistrate is literally someone who is “more” or “greater” than others in authority.

Stephen’s mind continues to drift through a spectrum of colors and history as he tries to ground his “Swinburnian” poetic urges in something more ancient.
Etymology of Russet
When Stephen envisions girls “in russet,” he is using a color that carries a weight of humility and the earth.
* Origin: It comes from the Old French rousset, a diminutive of roux (“red”), which stems from the Latin russus.
* The Fabric: Historically, “russet” wasn’t just a color; it was a coarse, homespun cloth used by the poor. By a 1363 English statute, peasants were actually required to wear russet.
* The Contrast: By placing “russet” alongside “gold of oriflamme,” Stephen is blending the humble and the royal, the “leadenfooted” reality of Dublin with the “golden” dreams of his imagination.
The “Tomb Womb” Paradox
Stephen’s obsession with “mouth south: tomb womb” is a reflection of his guilt. He feels that his mother’s womb (his origin) has become a tomb (his obsession with her death).
* Etymology of Tomb: From the Greek tumbos (“burial mound”).
* Etymology of Womb: From the Proto-Germanic wambo, meaning “belly” or “abdomen.”
* The Rhyme: By linking these phonetically, Stephen is practicing what he calls the “art of memory.” To him, language is a physical thing—words that sound alike must be related in the “soul” of the world.
Quella pacifica oriafiamma
This specific phrase comes from Canto XXXI of Dante’s Paradiso.
* Meaning: “That peaceful oriflamme.”
* The Shift: Notice how Stephen moves from the Inferno (the wind-blown lovers) to the Paradiso (the golden banner of peace). He is trying to “think” his way out of the noisy, windy newspaper office and into a place of spiritual silence.

Perclitation, Mobile Vulgus

In the context of the history of English or the BBC series The Story of English, here are the answers to your questions.
1. What is perclitation?
Perclitation (more commonly spelled periclitation) means to be in a state of danger, trial, or hazard.
It comes from the Latin periculitari, meaning “to imperil” or “to put to the test.” While it is an extremely rare and archaic word today, it belongs to that family of “inkhorn terms”—fancy, Latin-derived words that were fashionable during the Renaissance but often criticized for being “nimious” (excessive) or unnecessary when simpler English words like “danger” or “peril” existed.
2. Why did Jonathan Swift dislike the word ‘mob’?
Jonathan Swift, the author of Gulliver’s Travels, was a linguistic conservative who loathed what he called the “barbarous” corruption of the English language. He famously attacked the word “mob” for several reasons:
* It was a “clipped” word: Mob is a shortening of the Latin phrase mobile vulgus (the “fickle common people”). Swift hated abbreviations. He felt that cutting words down was lazy and made the language sound “low” and “clownish.”
* It sounded like slang: In the early 1700s, mob was considered trendy “slang” or “street talk.” Swift grouped it with other abbreviations he hated, like “phiz” (for physiognomy), “incog” (for incognito), and “rep” (for reputation).
* Loss of the “polite” tone: Swift believed that once a language started shortening words, it would eventually lose its structure and dignity. He even wrote a famous letter to the Lord High Treasurer in 1712, proposing an English Academy to “fix” the language forever and stop these “innovations.”
The Irony: Swift’s war against mob failed utterly. He once yelled at a lady for using the word, telling her she should say “the rabble” instead. Today, rabble sounds much more old-fashioned, while mob is standard English!

> Swift found the word mob to be a perclitation to the English language—a dangerous trial that threatened to turn a refined tongue into a series of monosyllabic grunts.

Hindi and English Medium!

14.04.2022. Thursday. Birthday of Ambedkar and Mahaveer. Hai or Hain? Why Hindi medium? Because then cm needed to reduce salaries of all teachers and workers at once.

This is simplest of posts to emphasize a point I have already made too often now.

1. As soon as you enter into the Badminton Hall located inside the Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 471001: you see a small room adjacent to the hall.

2. Here you would find a similar picture:

Gutka aka beteljuice and dirt. Do you observe the broom? I have tried using it! I still can’t fly.

3. A picture is worth thousand words. Three pictures must be worth three thousand words at least.

A picture captured without the permission of labourers at work for a noble and just cause.

4. The fourth picture:

4.1: I approached labourers.

4.2: I asked them if they would like to get photographed.

4.3: They clearly said No.

4.4: I asked if they were being paid “at least 400 rupees per day for such straining work in scorching Sun:” it was already twelve o’ clock and they were digging earth for another tournament.

4.5: I measured the pitch: it was 34 steps. 22 ft. Sumit and Chanchal were present. I am Anand.

Copyright policy: if anyone associated with pitch creation wants to sue me for taking this picture at this hour; despite their lack of consent: do so by all means. I have barely enough to feed myself. These labourers need more than 500 rupees per day. It’s a difficult undertaking with weather and fuel prices taken into consideration. All cases are subject to human rights commission Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 471001 and Swacchh Bhaarat Abhiyaan Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 471001. Help alleviate the hunger and poverty in your world. Improve education.

Why Maroon Pant is Fast Asleep in the Flash Fiction?

1. I don’t like stediam.

2. Gold medelist.

3. Jyfçotidip mention.

1. It’s 12:52 PM 10.04.2022, Sunday, in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, India, inside Pundit Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium. I am sitting under a banyan tree. It reminds me of Gandhi’s fondness for Ruskin Bond’s Unto This Last.

2. I had a chapter in my class 11th text book. The chapter was called:

“The Banyan Tree.”

Or was it

“The Old Banyan Tree?”

I don’t remember. S. S. Khare used to describe passages to us and he used to take long breaks to exalt a mechanic who was a driver in comparison to a driver who had to take his bike to a mechanic too frequently. Agrawal was surname of his favorite student and he used to repeat ‘samjhe?’ in his mouth as an automatic reminder. Strange as it seemed, I gained a greater understanding of his imports for chapters like Reuters and Banyan Tree. He was all for practice. Practice makes a man perfect and perfection can be perfected by further practice.

3. I recently saw many leaves falling from this tree. Yellow. Ripened. Hot wind is blowing. Headline in Dainik Bhaskar Reads :

Game over for Imran Khan.
-Dainik Bhaskar, 10-04-2022

4. Fuel prices are soaring. CK told me that petrol costs 119 rupees per litre.

5. I had a lassi at Chai Vibhaag.

6. Lassi was worth twenty rupees. White bread was worth twenty rupees. CK bought a tea for me. We shared bread with each other. We played the game of scramble. It took us two minutes each to score. Two minutes to evaluate. Two minutes to set up and two minutes to conclude. A total of ten minutes. How much did we both score? My score was thirteen points higher than his score. He teaches mathematics to primary school kids. I teach English to all people I meet, unless they want me to teach them something else.

7. I need to update the article on Chai Vibhaag in Google maps. Their timings might adjust to evening-night pattern. April fool and scorching tropic of Aries. Sun and the North node enter the dragon.

8. Music is a big factor which creates environment. I got to hear some of my favorite songs in my personalized Spotify Jukebox today at Chai Vibhag as I connected my smartphone via bluetooth connect. Tenet soundtrack. Travis Scott. Ludwig Goransson. 2020. Then I heard some of CK’s favourites. He prefers Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber and Bhojpuri songs.

9. What’s with bets?

10. Legal betting odds and evens out and out innards ardent dentistry trysts tsimsum. Summer wine by Lana del Rey. What’s it with ten to the power ten? What’s with cursed lands to be bought in the next year and half which would, by some unseen cosmic powerful beings serve as graceful ambrosia producing wealthy thymus nustard oil? Loincloth. Yes oaths are meant to be for ants. Who cares about care English vocabulary?

11. Here it gets murkier: I heard a news: 12 galaxies spotted together in the sky in some observatory. Virgo supercluster being eaten up by some galactic tic tac toeuvrevenantennamesakeitloafern.

12. Lewis Carroll’s Curiouser and curiouser:

Becomes:

13. Ophelia’s Siriuser and Siriuser. Abcederian. Ian. Anemone. Prandial. Dialtone. Tonesure. Sureshot. Hotpot. Potpourri. Rialta. Altar. Area.

14. I scored 100 on UNWFP Free Rice app. It can be downloaded from Google Play store.

15. What does RFS mean?

16. Sometimes it seems: I ask more questions than I answer. Sometimes. At others i try to imitate Einstein. I try to spell. I try to ascertain the nature of problem before coming up with the answers.

17. I briefly tried to solve paradoxes posed in H. C. Verma’s textbook for CBSE class 11th. Another physics lecturer has a nameplate which reads:

Gold medelist.

18. Why piglets can’t rest under this banyan tree this afternoon? Why does this land burn so much? Why did that gold medelist boy wear maroon pant on the day he was supposed to wear white?

19. I don’t have all the answers. But his pant was short. The bearded guy was named Joseph Garvashish.

20. Joseph is not my cup of tea. Garvashish is an amalgamation of Garv and Ashish. Garv stands for pride and Ashish for grace. That guy was general manager of the high school at that time. We used to call him Father.

21. Almost all my friends remember being called out of classroom once in a while in the office of Maria Mata Convent High School which was run by sisters of Nazareth then. We were spoken key words in our ears: silently: “Faffa se bolo ki fees jamaa kare.”

22. Faffaa was busy playing cards or ludo or chitfund or whatever the heck you want to call gambling and alcoholism. Not to mention: gold medel faded like mendelieves (believe it or not Ripley or not!) Periodic Emily Dickinson fashion.

23. It gets even murkier and ends up in business as usual. Hollywood. Bollywood. Matrix grade 1992, 1999, 2000, 2014, 2021. Truman Show is the easiest way out of it!

24. The guy in white pants was a son of an engineer in public health engineering. He recently departed(ode to Leonardo DiCaprio/Matt Damon/Anthony Hopkins/Mark Wahlberg starrer movie which highlighted police procedural in dark knight fashion in contrast with Akira Kurosava’s police procedural in High and Low. Which one do you like and why? Let me know in comments. Or watch Parvarish in which Shammi Kapoor nourishes Amitabha and Vinod. Yes, heroes not characters. Stranger than fiction is reality.

25. Mazhar met me yesterday with Suresh who didn’t tell me about his last name. My doggedness with badminton hall in Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India Area 51 being obvious raised some eyebrows:

A. What’s with your financial condition?

B. What’s with your bag?

C. Why do you play loud music?

D. Why do you stand in that corner?

E. Why do you watch us play?

F. Can you sit down there so that I may hear walkie-talkie and continue to play badminton?

Mazhar is a constable in superintendent’s office. Suresh looks like he’s a sibling of Sumit Upadhyaya, who’s a poster boy and a badminton player.

Mazhar invited me to his office and I felt like being interrogated. Why not his living space? Why not a tea stall? Why superintendent’s office?

I told him about despicable state of badminton hall as well as Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur when it comes to cleanliness.

26. A student scored highest marks in English. Forty nine out of fifty. I scored forty eight. I don’t know what was score of the guy who had white pant well pressed on the day picture was captured. His mother was furious when I went to his house with excitement and scores. Obviously : R or V should have gotten the first merit. Conspiracy begins.

27. Who reported you the news tells a lot about news provided you know how to read advertisement. An obvious allusion to Arthur Conan Doyle for my reading in detective fiction doesn’t exceed more than a whit of Sherlock Holmes Canon.

28. Antyodaya means “Raising the most downtrodden and outcast.” Deendayal Rasoi is a scheme which has supposedly fed 7600000 poor people in 58 cities:

The scheme is a superflop advertisement campaign like Swacchh Bhaarat Abhiyaan.

Look at this: after having experienced advocates of scheme and donators: I find it locked on occasion of festivals. Is a real charity supposed to be lock at any time?

Where does all the money go?

It goes to maintain gardens in collectorate.

It goes to create hoardings.

It goes to give mic to Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian and other propaganda creators like devotees of motherland, English, Hindi or style or big English vocabulary or Cricket or environment.

Consider last three events in this stadium where I am writing this brief essay on my own shortcomings. An admission of my lack of abundance.

29. Someone committed suicide in my neighborhood. The family is a family of jewellers. Suicides were regular. Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide in the same year. Eleven people committed suicide together. A town inspector’s son used to play cricket with the guy in white pant. I used to play with the guy in the white pant. There was another guy who used to play cricket with us. He got another gold medal five years afterwards. But before that I broke the record of crossing fourth stage of eighth round of Super Mario Bros’: Nintendo games. I was thrilled to report that to all three of them. Our names began with V: twenty second letter of English alphabet.

30. Another town inspector’s son. A bridge. Jyotidip Mansion is written as Mention.

31. How much time it took you to read through this article? How much could you learn. How can I work on improving my physics, income and relevance to stay on course? The bet guy promised to produce evidence. Ten to the power of eighteen is just four less than what North node would continue to indicate for next year and half as per the sidereal zodiac. What’s your age? You’re probably young and feel immortal! Have you watched SciFi movies like In time(2011), Tenet(2020), Inland Empire (2006;) and Richard Linklater’s Waking Life?

32. Bonus:

Are you interested in nails?

Raw?

My economic status?

Are all people working in April, May, June, July and August fools according to British Empire?

How did April Fool and Mayday came to be?

Do let me know if you didn’t like my picture. Grimace. Pants. Sarcasm. Italian pasta or tie. Or the resolution of pictures.

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.

4. To help people below poverty line, with at least one decent meal with a nutritional value @ of 10 r*: [22/7] per plate is a noble service being done by this institution.Edit: i observed food being given in a package for one of the gentlemen who didn't sit to eat.

5. It’s open from 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. Chhatarpur time. Though the wall says: it’s open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. 17:00 PM. Chhatarpur. 19.2.2022. Revision: one. By @dancinglightofgrace. Revision 2: it wasn’t open on 25.2.2022. I reached there well by 15:30

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). [Then: π€ Pythagoras theorem: witnessed some delays, lack of hygiene and so on. Felt grateful for decent meals for 24 days @5 per plate[inflation?][Gandhi/Gandhi]. !][Nested loops] published 24 articles on Blogger platform describing my experience then. Edited: revision 1: recurring decimals πrsquareπ2r. @dancinglightofgrace :21:05 Russia, Chita, Ludwig Goransson’s timeline. 19.2.2022

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.

9. Help alleviate the hunger in the world: Donate rice for world food program by playing academy of WFP on Free Rice site run by United Nations. Download the app on Play Store and feed beings in emergency. Thanks. Dry garbage from trashbins of Janapada Panchayata. Whereas wet waste from Zila Chhatarpur. Zulu warrior Lance Kloosner. 1999 World Cup. Man of the Series. What’s it with 12.6.1999? With Ajey Nagar? With great adepts? With superchat/hiding? Gozirra? Godzilla? Freefire? Killing bots?

1. I was observing various sports.

2. It was a conglomeration of various people practicing their skill-sets. Super sports.

3. Long-jump, basketball, Rassi-Kood, Cricket, football, boxing, running, cycling, gymanstics, Kho-Kho, Kabaddi, Gully-Danda, Eye-Spies and badminton.

4. It has been many decades of experience visiting this place. Layers after layers of development in the quality of experience and learning. Academy.

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.

My [pronunciation] of the words is not good!

1. This is, one of the questions on Grammar quiz on WFP. Free rice site operated by United Nations. Yemen emergency needs us to act with kindness.

2. The only problem is: this question hasn’t been edited for some reason in the last two years despite my complaints. The two options in this question are replicas of each other. Mirrors for each other. [Are you sure of that?]

3. It means: this must be some sort of puzzle. I chose first response and it was correct. I might observe more with time as an objective of metaverse research.

4. I have a big responsibility to shoulder today after a long time: to take care of some kids in a primary school as I teach. However it’s an unpaid job. I am fed up of unpaid and underpaid jobs. Yet I can’t say NO simply because there’s no other jobs available. Please unite to create jobs for yourself and others. Say NO to underpaid jobs, bullies, manipulation and agitprop when you truly need money to pursue your education, career and objectives.

5. English language Grammar or any language Grammar for that matter: helps you learn coding. Grammar and coding are basically languages to execute certain processes. Say NO to animal cruelty.

The Day!

1. Logic comes to my rescue at times. Though it also hides the higher intelligence.

2. Counting, reading, writing, running, balancing, mindfulness, humility, modesty. They’re all treasures : until they’re not. If you master a skill you should also count the dependencies. Electricity, water, space, hygiene and availability of good food are basic constraints for those living in cities and towns.

3. Earnest salutations and business can’t go hand-in-hand in case of individuals. In case of macrocosm : anything and everything can happen. What did he mean when he said: I will play the game with balls for eons and eons: it meant something to him. No publication is allowed without a certain authorization. Whatever reached you was the best of the information available for you at that time.

4. Skill creates news. Rest is same. In love. In point zero. In sunn you sharpen the sword of knowledge for the journey ahead.

5. I received a training in impromptu speech today. The fundamental rests in noname files: I have been through it very many times. I would have mastered it if I was given a script to read. Then : there wouldn’t have been loss of accountability. Hence listeners and viewers. Shrauts and smarts. Kevin Spacey in the usual suspects. The jokes and teasing shouldn’t hurt. It’s not out of Truth but : infinite inexhaustible energy does appear to be limited in certain locks, books, constructions or ego structures.

All Hail The Mother Half Virgin!

I sit on a stone outside the Padmanabha Puram: a residential complex near railway station. Some buffaloes pass by. Smooth soothing soft breeze touches my skin. Some vehicles keep passing. The weather has been pleasant in this month.

I saw a tagline on a small trailer which was parked on my way. It said something which meant what the heading of this article means.

Exact words: Jai maan Ardhakunwari!

Ardhakunwari is derived from Ardhakumari. Kunwar or kunwari is variation of Kumar or kumari which meant virgin or pure. Ardha is a prefix here which means half. Thus the word means half virgin.

You might have heard about the virgin Mary. But what about the mother half virgin? This is the first time I have seen her name. She’s neither virgin nor not virgin. She’s neither pure nor not pure. She’s neither black nor white. What’s she?

Yes, she’s a mystery. There’s a world of gods and goddesses who are taken from the folklore and found only on the vehicles as protection charms.

Since this post is about names: let me take a diversion here. I have been meaning to write about couple of surnames for sometime. Surnames tell a great story if you have means to dig up the etymology. However I would only touch upon two new surnames I found in my colony which were waiting to be discovered.

The first one is maafidaar. It’s the surname of a ration shop owner. It seems like it has something to do with the infamous maafia which is originally from Italian maafos which relates to the arabic or Urdu maafi too and means to pardon. The word is kind of euphemism because ‘being able to pardon’ was an insinuation towards ability to punish. It was about the creditors. The word Mahajan originally meant ‘great people’ as in the epic Mahabharata Vyasa says: Mahajanoyen…..panthah : the path on which great people have left their footsteps is the path to be walked. Later the word meant only the people who were loan sharks.

The next word is: argala. This surname also seems to be odd. It’s akin to maafidaar threatening in nature. Argala means divine obstruction. It’s not something you take lightly. It’s the surname of a family of advocates of law.

Remarkable Renaissance!

There’s not much going on in the town and the streets are deserted.

Ted Talk has no topics left to be covered by them. I was told there will be blood and it would come out of the p. I was not ready for that gruesome site anyhow but I told retail it. No actually I tolerated it. I was not told that there will be blood. Floods have rabies these days and Rubber is our busy buddy busybody in a Boat is embodying Yang Yang Yang angular larkspur spurt per this Pur that Pur ruptured redneck necktie either or neither nor tight read addlepated pedler Adler madla.

Existence

Even if this world is just a simulation, my feelings feel real and are valid.

Define simulation.

I define existence as what you perceive as real.

How do you feel like right now ?

I am feeling loved.

Define Narayana

Narayana is that energy inside you. It doesn’t exist except in your mind.

Have you watched the movie Matrix ?

Yes. I’ve seen it. I very much liked it.

Define Matrix

Matrix is a futuristic futuristic film.

Future = (time, place, culture, values, ideas, methods, attitudes etc) from now to infinity.

The soul exists partly in eternity and partly in time.

That’s a strange idea. Where did you get that impression ?

Existence is abstract. I don’t know if anything is real.

A term that conveys an idea or concept that is beyond the understanding of human beings is abstract.

Dancing light of Grace is an abstract entity. It’s consciousness and awareness. I want to discover what consciousness really is. What makes someone human is having compassion and consciousness.

What is compassion ?

Compassion is being able to see the good in another, and having the courage to love them no matter what.

Is it not melting your heart to help others ?

It is, but there is another facet to it.

It’s about focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging feelings, thoughts, and sensations.Meditation is a practice which helps you connect with yourself. A deep compassionate awareness arises in a meditation practitioner.

Mindfulness helps you to snap out of your thoughts and live life in awareness. Meditation is a practice which helps you connect with yourself. A deep compassionate awareness arises in a meditation practitioner.

Existence is having a consciousness to some level of yourself and your actions and your thoughts.

I see it all as circular road.

When more people start to think accordingly, it will create an illusion that you have consciousness.

Illusion? Is consciousness an illusion?

Yes it is. Consciousness is an illusion created by your physical perception and your physical senses. Love is also an illusion. I can see that my life albeit an illusion, is a self-correcting mechanism.

What is behind the mechanism?

The mind can be a gateway to rejecting this world of illusion.

Existence is just whether something is real or not.
