Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
What was the best compliment you’ve received?
I can tell you about compliments I gave. There are absolutely no compliments which can save your life, your day or your future.
All epics are full of those though. Actually it’s swear words people use as compliments these days.
I give myself compliments, in order to motivate myself, it’s done by comparing myself with myself in space and time ( to quote Samuel Taylor Coleridge.)
The best achievement was clearing Peter Schmies Word Classification Test after so many trials and tribulations.
Now I am struggling to clear this test on United Nations World Food Program Website called Free Rice. It’s an archive of archaic words at level fifth and fourth.
If I clear this test: I might be able to flawlessly score everyday. Flawlessly score at least 2060 everyday. This would be an achievement enough to save myself from embarassing teenagers I come across everyday who throw temper tantrums to register themselves instead of actually doing anything meaningful for community or themselves.
Are you superstitious?
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

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.
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. Etude Yuletide Idempotentate andornandnorwaybetttermanagementationizedifyinglenookrapsacallionostrumpledstiltedskinnuendocilebanonchalantennasterismsumosaicsverisimilitude.
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.
1. Stopwatch of my android smartphone shows 09:30:51
2. I clearly remember walking for about 9 minutes before I sat to read. It was about 06:47 AM.
3. The smartphone clock shows: 10:00 AM.
4. By using points second and third above, it can be deduced that about 03:13:00 should be the reading on stopwatch.
5. Disparity: 06:17:51
6. Conclusion:
A. Either: stopwatch is dysfunctional. Which seems to be improbable.
B. Or: it was reset by some agency as i was busy reading.
C. Effectively: the stopwatch hasn’t been reset since 00:30:00 AM, while I clearly recall doing so.
Anecdote:
It was someday in the year 2018 AD. I then had a cellphone. I had set an alarm for 04:00 AM. It rang but I was too tired. I snoozed it off. I had fabulous dreams. It rang again. I was dumbstruck to see : it was still 04:00 AM. A similar stopping of time had happened even before that day. These two are my accurate memories along with other experiments done with three different clocks.
The event today seems to be a sort of dilation effectively. But only in the network memory. Compared to the events in 2018 and before: this one can be merely a glitch by a hacking agency. Yesterday I wasn’t able to use a certain browser and today this happened.
1. Heard many horn sounds as I was moving out of house.
2. A man on bicycle had a white ream of paper…just behind him a fast moving vehicle with BJP district president plate on it. It’s an old pattern. Another Press vehicle.
3. Snooker game bill board with Russian models.
4. IPTA number three handed me over script to put it in library. The director was on the back seat.
5. Last night I handed it over to director just before closing the library. His bag and water bottle as well.
6. The first page of script has names from voterlist on its backside.
7. How’s it for the first scene of a play?
Keeping the thread as small as possible. Why can’t I ever exclude political parties from these?
1. Took 40 minutes to turn Shivansh compost. Three of us. The third one joined very late. I did 51 taslas(plastic pans.)
2. As i was waiting under the shade of eight petalled lotus he shared half of an apple. As we began working the slipper’s stripe which is used as grip by thumb and middle toe snapped. What are the odds. It was good because if it had happened during the marathon i would have ran barefoot.
3. Had no idea that registration process was going to be this complicated. Had to stay in multiple queues for 3 hours 20 minutes.
4. If you ask me: it’s not very encouraging for participation in years to come. If such an event happens: i would prefer not participating in it. They should have given a clear outline of complicated registration process on their website. They kept changing timings.
5. It was a huge event(biggest after Dussehra in which i participated but not as enjoyable) with hundreds of people appearing for registration. Maybe a few thousand. The question is: how do they organize the runners on track. Some of them would be given lead as so many people can’t stand together on track. Played many vocabulary jams. PC had a doppleganger today. Received a score of 820 in one of the jams despite two incorrect answers. Which seemed odd as it usually doesn’t happen.
6. I need to wakeup early and then, finally, run. Got a call from the person whose footwears i would use for the run as soon as i came out of the stadium. What are the odds?
7. Asked for another handkerchief this morning got a yellow one. Like the Tshirt given by the organizers. Yellow. What are the odds? Like the color painted on Deendayal Rasoi building.
1. Had carrot halwa with librarian and naturopath to celebrate the birthday of the naturopath. A four planet stellium in Sagittarius is the actual cause of his being fond of Osho who had a five planet stellium in it. A Virgo. Atmakaraka Saturn in Sagittarius.
2. Uprooted some carrot grass plants from field. The word ‘Nidai’ means weeding. Took many pictures. Internet and earphones acted up dramatically.
3. Had some giant spinach leaves to eat. Narrated Popeye the sailor man to those present.
4. Trip to a field and hospital. First time in elevator in hospital.
5. Another interview with sportspersons. What is the English name for Malkhamb gymnastics. Mal masa and Malkhambha.
6. Registered 22 titles in library. Looked into horoscope of three people. Attended candle protest.
