Sheinkin versus Dickinson!

1. What kind of surname is sheinkin?

2. Is it a distant cousin of Dickinson?

3. Or Dick? As in Phillip K. Dick.

4. Pyaasi is an Indian surname.

Pyaasi means thirsty.

Now: ‘White’ as a surname is not anymore attractive than ‘Thirsty’ but you know. Everyone loves their identity and conditioning. That’s why it exists.

I found surname Sheinkin in one of the vocab jams on vocabulary.com. The author of “Lincoln’s Gravediggers” has this surname.

A Tohu verse:

Yarmulke armistice

Ice very nice

Eyes spies

Latke jhatke jara hatke

Arra lox ox with a fox

Tchotchke hotpotpourri riffraff far off

Livery very veridiasical

Note: these words were culled from various Vocabulary jams on vocab.com

Latke means ‘hanging’ in Hindi. Latke latke : repeated twice means subject performed some action while they were hanging(out.)

Latke in Yiddish is a potato dish.

Words beginning with t?

Tchotchke

Tzimtzum is my favourite.

Piccalilli

Aren’t you odd?

Oh piccalilli?

I once met a Piccadilly

Dilly dallying,

Shilly shallying,

Through thick and through thin,

Kith and kin.

Oh piccolo,

Piccalilli,

Piccadilly!

Laddoo!

1. I went to get the bottle filled with water. The lady preparing laddoos offered me some the moment recognition converted from fragrance to form.

2. I told her: “I don’t eat anything stealthily.” At that moment secretary appeared with the president of the trust. I saluted them both and then told her that I was in the field and entered into kitchen to fill the bottle. She then gave me a laddoo: an offer I couldn’t resist. Coming from authority. That’s the way things are in the world of archons. Let’s forget about masks for a while: black and white. I had til candies which I bought at Sahooji’s shop. Til laddoo is next.

Roustabout!

1. I had a 15 minutes session on Data Science with Vaibhav who represents Business Toys. Vaibhav hails from Satara, Maharashtra. The session was for free from the firm.

2. He is currently located in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore (Bengaluru.)

3. Data Science course would need 79999 rupees including GST. And a laptop or computer. Six months of one to one and half hours sessions would enable you to become a Business Analyst if you’re competitive enough.

4. Data Science has Machine learning and Deep learning.

5. Machine learning part needs knowledge of SQL, Python.

6. Deep learning platform is KERAS. It’s similar to Alexa by Amazon.

7. Foundation of machine learning is data recognition or pattern recognition. It’s extrapolated into descriptive analysis in deep learning via tensor imaging. The data has to be converted into visual models which can easily give information to businesses.

8. Why am I interested in Data Science? Because I am curious. Curiouser and curiouser.

9. Data is information. I asked him if it can be called energy. Switching from Computer Science to Physics.

10. His tone was moderate and he seemed like a good interlocutor.

11. This post might come across as an advertisement for Business Toys but it’s for my comprehension and to provide basic info to anyone interested.

12. Thanks Vaibhav and rest of the team!

A Tohu verse to celebrate the session:

Roustabout roundabout

Bout out of box

Index out of bound

Redound rebound

Underdogs will shine

Like vast effulgence of Grace!

Tacit jacitation

Chitta Ranjan January February

Clam round lambda unbound.

Shri is Unpredictable!

1. I had a long walk to railway station after I was informed by my employer that they no longer needed my service. Rohan’s uncle paid me 30 rupees as a payment for six days of service.

2. I enjoyed visiting the station after a long time.

3. I hired a taxi with ‘Atul’ written on back of it on my walk back towards Chhatrasal Carrefour.

4. He charged me only 15 rupees though usual charge is 20 rupees.

5. I had two samose at chaat thela. They were cold. The couple of biscuit packets sustained me. Like yesterday, there was another batch of people meeting outside library. I shared my biscuits with a dog.

6. I heard them speak in meeting. I spotted Atul: the guy with moustache who used to frequent Pawan Gupta shop in my marijuana days.

7. Strangely: two of the faces on posters were Shuklas and one was named Anand Shukla. The guy from Khajuraho has a problem in his left leg.

8. They are struggling for pension. I am struggling for pocket money. They are all better off than me. I mean who gets a 1000 rupees per month these days? With another job lost i am left with Shri. She’s unpredictable.

Sunday Morning!

1. 6 overs. I concentrated on Fielding as well as Bowling.

2. There are three parties in ground.

3. I observe plenty of work that has been put by academy on ground: when i came here there were only two pitches. Now there are four and twenty pillars. Many new players have joined and many have dropped. No commentary this morning.

4. Sun is shining brightly. I took some pictures and watched pigeons do somersault in air.

A Kingfisher and a Robin!

1. I balled 34 times. 11 hits. Enough of running this morning. Hockey players, Cricket players, Academy batch of Cricket.

2. Two men come with their gear. They look lost. I approach them and they ask about the entrance. I tell them about the old entrance and also about the new. The rhetoric:

Which side is entrance?

Westside. The new entrance faces North.

You might see it on your way to the carrefour.

Do you live here?

We have been called from Bhopal.

Upon being asked the very first question the assistant spits gutka to his left side. Architects are above being questioned.

So this ground belongs to college?

Yes.

And what about the stadium?

Not sure. Many people come over there.

Then they took my leave.

3. Can you think about my privileges? Stadium has been locked. Boys jump inside. Even I can jump for running. I am innocuous. As long as I have space I can run here: else I would need to go to Panna Tiger Reserve.

4. A lot of architectonics this morning. The ground where we scored like Bradman and kept records: Ankur and I: was being inspected this morning. Maybe they have decided to build a house and the land has been sold. Ghanshi was there. Tall. I thought she said something. I saluted her excellency.

5. Did I pass in addressing ? Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium and Shatabdi hall. Where else would you go running? The National Higher Education building was being built when i was roaming around billboards. Situation has changed only a bit. Those who have money have the right to spend and show off. Billboards entertain. Beautiful models like Blue Buddha and SRK girl. Why not. You have it: show it off. Yes, definitely. Like bullets, Lauries, tall buildings, helicopters, technologies and clout. I mean why not? Definitely.

The Blue Bird!

1. It was 23 hours ago. The last post. I am sitting on the same spot. Am I? Herodotus is credited with the quote “you can’t bathe in the same river twice.”

2. Bowled 40 times. 11 hits. Good catching practice as well. There was no juice on juice shop and no poha stall. Two days in a row.

3. I saw two birds. I wanted to take picture. They flew away as I got closer and closer. One of them was a kingfisher with very different blue wings than i have seen so far. It was young. Another was a blackbird which looks like a distant cousin of nightingale.

4. Hockey team is here. I had seen them playing before in my days of struggle. It’s still the same except i am bowling instead of being a mere spectator. There were two girls and nine boys. 232. Abhay was wearing shirt number 3. Abhay is the captain of the team or coach I presume. Chuck dey India. Hockey is India’s national sport. Either it should be given enough funds or Cricket should be made India’s national sport. Abhay tum sangharsh karo ham tumhare saath hain…

5. As my morning breathing, meditation and practice is over, now I should be anxious about money making. I need to buy my daily bread and butter after all. There were three pigeons on a wire. There were three bikers. The morning run is over. Here comes the noon.

Noon boon catamaran choon

Per choon perchance

Prance dance

Pierre Simon Laplace

Placed cede this id

This umber umbrage

Barrage of words without rage

Subterfuge fugue segue garrage

Gotcha?

Not yet?

Keep reading…stay tuned.

Morning Role Plays!

1. After the grand success of Shiva-Shakti motors: Adinath motors, Mahoba road, before star of David, the temple of goddess Kaali.

2. First, one of them invites me to play.

3. I tell him that i need to do my everyday bowling practice as I had a very limited time.

4. As I begin practicing: I observe a bowler with a shaved head: a fast bowler. Then, a familiar, tall guy approaches. I had assumed he was in college but he says he’s in school.

5. Dialogue:

AK: Do you live near Mahoba road?

AS: No.

AK: I saw you near Gurudwara.

AS: Yes, I went there on the occasion of 551st Guru Poorab.

( in his mind: why does he pretend to not know me? I clearly remember him seeing me on helipad and he has been coming here for many days.)

Which is your favourite actor?

( I asked him that because he was acting like Krish in the first meeting)

AK: None. I am my own favorite.

AS: Any favourite movies?

AK: No, but I do have favorite cricketers: Virat for example and AB Devilliers.

AS: Which standard are you studying in?

AK: passed tenth, now in eleventh: 94.8 percent marks.

AS: What’s the meaning of ‘panache?’

AK: I have heard that word for the first time.

AS: What’s the meaning of ‘denunciation?’

AK: (with palpable irritation): let me play for now.

AS gets back to bowling. AK is called to bowl. On very first ball the batsman hits in the leg and ball goes outside. The boys go looking for it but come after a long time. Mysterious reasons.

AS continues to ball. 40 balls. 15 hits.

As thinks to himself:

Why did this guy who acted like Krish when Anuj was also introduced pretend to not recognise you until you visited Gurudwara? It’s what Kshetragya is about. An MVM student.

He wanted me to field for him. I said no because I had limited time to ball. His bowling and pronunciation can both be improved. He could have been truthful about having seen me first on helipad.

Sweetest DLOG!

I am glad to have come across you,

Your glance or smile,

Is enough to make one swoon,

And lose their hearts,

To your majesty!

You’re more divine than i could ever conceive,

And yet,

You let me leave,

Without letting me complete,

A masterpiece for your sublime beauty.

No degrees will be awarded this time!

Made in Bangladesh

1. Event:  I bowled 100 times.

I intended to bowl 140 times, like yesterday.

There were too many people inside Shatabdi today.

I met Yash on my way to Shatabdi ground.

It seemed strange that he recognised me after having not recognised before . Twice. Just outside Satguru stationary and in Shatabdi. I made a boxing gesture that day.

After a brief discussion we parted ways. A flower dropped from a tree in MMHS. Almost where Abhishek Rajput and company had broken a glass window and burnt some fire.

I bowled for a while. Then a boy asked me to bowl elsewhere as it was disturbing him. I chose the place he recommended.

2. Miracle

And lo and behold! There was the cap I thought I would buy. No. It’s a used cap. Nike. Made in Bangladesh. Darbar print. I wanted to buy a cap to don in marriage ceremony of my friend Abhishek. I received an invitation after many years to attend a marriage ceremony and it comes from an oath keeper. A Ph. D. This guy met me after two decades and we shared some memories. Then he talked about another sudden fire and fever in his family.

3. Declaration:

This cap doesn’t belong to me. I just picked it up from ground. Anyone who claims it can have it immediately. No need to buy another. I would drop it as soon as I get a new one.

4. Memories

There was that guy I played Cricket with. I also recalled Vivek who accussed me of chucking as I was too good and bowled him over continuously in stadium. I recalled many other things: how I went to MMHS after getting a two rupee note from a man who was sitting before a woman who was someone’s 27 year old wife. I was only seven. That girl took me to school. It was second hour already. The brother had disappeared. Rekha mam was teaching Mathematics. I got scared of big guys like Amit Shukla and Brijesh Chakraborty: reason? They had been there since kindergarten. And their skin’s color was fair…like English people.

What the **** is going on here?

I had completed the third class in Taparian and I was supposed to get admitted into fourth but they took me into second class based on my vocabulary.

I was building bridges then: unbeknownst to myself. Villages and towns. Then came Cricket. Jumping and frolicking.

I recalled another ragging phase in college. This might be called doctoral ragging. No degrees will be awarded this time around. Well played!

Morning session!

1. I bowled 26 overs. The last 27 balls were named as 27 constellations. I forgot following names: (hence I bowled 140 balls)

Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati and Bharni

2. Dhanishtha gave an insight. Like Vashishtha it’s to do with desire to gain wealth. It’s ruled by Mars. Eight Vasus or Mahabhootas are:

Agni, Prithvi, Vaayu, Varun, Dyayus, Surya, Chandramas and Dhruv

3. Dhruv is polaris. An absolute abode of Vishnu.

4. Varun is deity of water: Neptune.

5. Dyayus is Zeus, Jupiter or skydaddy with Earth as its counterpart.

6. Bheeshma in Mahabharata represents the third Vasu: Vaayu who is also the father of second Pandava: Bheem.

7. Marudganas are 49.

8. I took some pictures. Stadium’s Southern entrance was locked when I arrived here. There were ten or twelve people jogging inside.
