1. Dogs are barking, birds are chirping the morning song, mosquitoes are romancing with my skin, stars are about to set soon as I sit to write this after a long walk.
2. I counted the milestone steps yesterday. They were 1000. I did 8 rounds, walking about 8000 steps in my imagination. Some batlings horsefly hover over samovar varsity in the eastern horizon with the golden Hiranyagarbh.
3. The dawn doesn’t let me care genuinely about current economical trends. In fact, I have found most people happier than they were before.
4. Nisarga said in his talks that humanity as a whole would be happier when some truly great leaders would take charge of guiding the humanity towards enlightened golden era. It seems to be the case right now. If everything is happening as it should, what qualms could you have and for how long?
5. In 2006, I started purusing Michael Quinions website–World Wide Words. I was a Hindi medium student until higher secondary and though it was a convent my communication skills were not healthy. Since I needed to prepare for campus recruitment drive, though I had become a renunciate by 2003, I set a goal of learning at least 50 words everyday.
6. Norman Vincent Peale Word Power Made easy, Barron’s as well as AV, my classmate who had cleared GRE made me motivated to improve my English vocabulary. I thought, it would indeed be a good idea to set a higher goal and to learn as well as retain– even one fifth of what I read would have been an accomplishment.
7. Quinions selection had a magical effect. Etymology was addictive. I once forgot my moped bike outside the cyber cafe and it remained there the whole night as I had a nice sleep dreaming about the words. The next morning landlord asked where my moped was and dumbfounded I ran towards the shop happy to find it intact where I had left. Bhopal was a place of honest people. I left the vehicle once again outside the mess and found it without any trouble in the morning. These were the only adventures I had in my college life, more or less.
8. If it was the earnest vocabulary augmentation or the good fortune I got the job offer on February 14, 2006, in the sixth semester. Then I waited and waited and akin to lockdown extensions they kept extending joining dates. Multinationals work in similar fashion. After doing tonnes of courses online sent by that organisation who were watching our speed and performance, I got a joining on October 31, 2009. It was 3 years 8 months since getting the offer letter and almost 1 year 5 months since getting a bachelor’s degree. I worked in a hardware electronics factory in Govindpura where I learned nothing but realised I was truly immortal as an epiphany hit me while reading Origin of Species by Darwin. I told the good news to co-workers who scoffed at me for they had read such news on every other day since their childhood.
9. People at linkage telecom soon realised that I went there only to have tea and as I saw boss going for lunch breaks, I too started going for it. Results were harsh. I was recommended to eat in the factory during the lunch and also to not indulge in the newspaper reading and also to arriviste on time to attend funeral processions. It was akin to my higher secondary school where someone or the other used to die every other day.
10. But the real problem wasn’t those things. I was indulgent with 3600 rupees extra per month as salary as I already recieved 2500 from home. Me and my brother used to have plenty of bread and butter until I resigned in December 2008. Peer pressure plus bronchitis. I was not waiting for joining dates, like I am not waiting for upliftment of lockdown. Landlord, like a good caring father figure used to exhort me politely oxymoronixally and I devoted myself to taking long walks as well as reading Sherlock Holmes cannon. Fodder for der juror Teutonic. I had developed a penchant for writing on mad philosopher guild. The site soon went defunct and I landed on the couch where I kept writing keeping my post count just below that of forum owners. She on the one hand said it wasn’t about numbers on the other did everything to ensure that she was the top contributor. Moreover she was the only person who was convinced that it was a material universe and not spiritual as I was given to seek and search until I started contributing on that site. It was attacked by hackers unethically and finally the message said to master the telepathy which I couldn’t so here I am raving about ranting on and on onions.
11. The conclusion was supposed to be that current socioeconomic scenario is similar to what happened in 2008 in my universe but difference is that there were people working at that time and it was partial because it was the Lehmann Brothers and bankers not a fake virus outbreak propaganda.
12. My joining the group and working was short-lived. My tenure lasted a little more than 3 years including training period of three and half years in which I was mostly distributing chocolates and pursuing mirages for romance. I could not learn programming. The assertion in the recruitment interview that I was researching higher human intelligence and not the Artificial Intelligence was true to the best of my knowledge and potentially I was supposed to master the programming as well as keep growing by taking departmental tests. I was fed up of tests and wanted final rest and rest I got in full by quitting the job and becoming a renunciate priest as I used to say often to my coworkers.
13. I have enrolled for free audit course on Harvard’s eDX online program website for learning Python basics. The kid in vicinity said it was the buzz. I don’t know how much I would be able to learn for my logic is not upto the mark and I have still not mastered See and See Plus plush . It would teach me what essential ingredients in my make up were missing in the college years which let me not muster the courage to master the programming languages which might have made me a real geek. Actually I read nothing about technology and programming languages. I merely needed to get enlightened. The glamour made around a mythical Utopia where unicorns danced and you had no pain in body and no suffering. All lies.
