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.

Another Tohu!

1. A newborn piebald puppy is playing with its black mother. I am at Bundelkhand Gaushala Nowgong, Chhatarpur since last two and half hours. I witnessed making of Shivansh compost which has been a routine for me in last month or so. I even participated in turning in some of them.

2. I took rest on a chair. Some kids were busy feeding cows on their birthday. We uprooted some mustard plants which were weeds in the kitchen garden here being cultivated by my companion.

3. Ten people work here to maintain about 470 cows. I found no willing participants to show me around so I didn’t. Though I have learnt to keep my curiosity in check, I learnt it the hard way.

4. A solar light panel was observed. Power is cut for 5 hours everyday here. Compare it with Gandhi Smarak Nidhi Chhatarpur premise where you have it 24*7. I even witness wastage of some electric power over there. They use outdated equipments. Either arguing about giving employment to more people who could work manually or implying lack of a budget. When I started today Gau or cow or Taurus was the yoni of the Kaalpurusha.

5. I played many vocabulary jams, yesterday and today on vocabulary.com. My ID is 10. I invite you to play with me. Here’s the summary of my recent ranks and scores:

(850, 610, 760, 850, 830, 370, 840, 790,540, 625, 700, 575, 515, 530, 550, 525, 740, 750)

Ranks: 2, 1,1,2,1,4,1,2,3,2,2,2,2,1,1,2,1,1

6. Not many USA players participate on weekends. As if they’re on a job and take leave on weekends.

7. A Tohu Verse:

8. I am inventor of Tohu verse format. Tohu word comes from kabbalistic mystic tradition and it means chaos. Whatever is perceived as chaos is because of lack of awareness. Chaos at one level is intelligence at another and consolidated knowledge at yet another.

Thisaway, or: Thataway

‘No way. Way!’, a d’Verse Quadrille Runaway, wayless, makes his way up dark areaway – to stowaway on a rockaway. Highwayman in jet cutaway strolling past purplish twayblades, reading stolen waybill, notes blond wayward flyaways. Hereaway’s no place for young tearaways, he smiles. Well, leastways we’re both of waygoing lifeways. The above poem is my take […]

Thisaway, or: Thataway

1. Thanks David and d’ verse!

2. My quadrille with 44 words:

Wayward warden dense mesne

Nescafe affects highway my way

Thyway ryeway ardent dentistriatedeterrantucleonasm

Asmeraldalda palindromes in Rome

Omegaye this way that way

Darkness eats essential oils

Boils roil coils recoil

Way lost

In permafrost

Prema roast

Host forgotten

Tenet costs

Tao boasts

Toasts nowayout!
