Silence of the Birds!

1. Cranes are roaming in the field. Yellow butterflies flutterby. A kingfisher is basking in the Sun on a branch of a tree. Its counterpart comfortably perched down near group of white birds. A bird on top of the hut before me looks for a while at me then looks right. Another blackbird on another branch. A kite is flying in the sky. I haven’t seen Magpie Robin since last few days. The sky has been portraying many visuals worthy of being appreciated.

2. I played five vocabulary jams. Kavita J was one of the top scorers. I intend to play more. In one of the jams where I got a score of 830, the timer of the quiz slowed down so much that we could all score 100 points on most of the questions. On other quizzes it often moves randomly: sometimes where I deserve 100 points I only get 40. Yet: it’s not to dispute superior skill of some players like PC and Claire G. They have been scoring consistently.

3. Filled water for kitchen.

4. Put the tall Gandhi picture back to library.

5. It was put before Gandhi statue for observing silence. The statue was established by some social servants about 70 years ago on Gandhi jayanti.

6. Plucked 54 marigold flowers from Biotic Farm.

7. Sweeped library floor. And verandah.

8. Helped remove chador after assembly ended.

9. Prayers, recitation of poetry and speeches.

Here are the pictures I could capture:

Cycles

From being involved as a participant to being a witness it’s a cycle.

Again and again

The participants have no insights

Emotions choke them

The witness has memories devoid of emotions

From nostalgia to recording

Again and again

Cycles

End of the day!

1. Plenty of vocabulary jams. My ID is 01. I invite you to play with me on vocabulary.com.

2. Kavitha J and Paul H scored well today on most of the jams.

3. I attended a birthday party, registered some books in library, emptied dustbin ash, helped in cowshed, wrote couple of blog posts, clicked some pictures, filled water and sat down for a while.

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!

Routine!

1. Basking in the Sun: 40 minutes.

2. Filling two buckets of water using bicycle for transit : 20 minutes. Believe it or not!

3. Scrapping grass outside library was due for long. Burning stray pieces: 20 minutes.

4. A man walking with fast paces only asked for confirmation of what he knew: “that lady who has a hair cut…” Had a file in his hand.

5. Venus had Jaminee Atmakaraka post for a stage where a big drama took place. It was handed over to caring mother Moon who is entering its house in Cancer with Punarvasu. The next Atmakaraka is going to be Mars again who indicates struggle. The police, martials and athletes and the mathematicians will be in focus now along with revolutionaries.

Script

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?

Twilight Again!

Birds are returning to their nests. Parrots mostly. Eleventh Moon is shining in Taurus just above my head. Sounds of prayers from nearby temples and mosques.

The granary has expanded a bit. Not as much as needed yet. I picked up the scrapped grass and threw it away. A trolley full of pigeon pea is resting before me to be unloaded here.

The conversation with Nadine was uplifting yesterday. Semantics, delusion and further delusions: then their shattering one by one has been the story of my Odyssey here on WordPress. While the poet of highest order disappeared and wouldn’t resurface no matter what: another fish in the cave seems to want to swim to that side of shore. And yet another won’t change her profile picture even after four years. Or has it been lesser. They create black holes. Then bit of scaling. Then return to black holes.

If this Faatima was that Faatima: she won’t believe that one morning in 2016 i hardly had anything else but her words to hang onto. Some scarecrow images. And her words as unicorn images of a safe haven which leads me where?

Here! This is the culmination of all my searches. All my seeking and journey. Nectar of immortality. Don’t tell them they would banish us. Then there is three of us…four of us… countless trillions of us…how lovely to be nobody…

How fluid to watch the dance and play the game.

Twilight

Score Analytics!

6. I reached the highest score of 840. First rank still eluded me as it was attained by Stephen D.

7. Stephen D. has been a consistent player and top scorer in recent days. Claire G, PC and Vishnu Ram came to be known in September-October. PC and Claire score in excess of 900 easily. I strive for that. It might take me practice of a few months to reach that mark and maintain it consistently.

8. Though rare I have received score in excess of 900.

Productive Day!

1. Spent about 30 minutes helping and observing the irrigation system which has pipes, joints and sprinklers. Two motors of different power with one of them having an auto-cut makes sprinklers throw water off to 10-15 feet.

2. Prior to that had lunch.

3. Prior to that spent about twenty minutes sowing coriander seeds in lines adjacent to onion beds.

4. Spent an hour scrapping grass and throwing garbage.

5. About forty five minutes spent on collecting stray polybags, wrappers and pouches which were burnt at two distinct places.

6. Played Free Rice quiz on freerice.com.

7. Pasted labels on almirahs.

8. Published three posts on WordPress including this one. Yesterday I almost finished working on the almirah number 11 anticlockwise. Today I begin with the number 12. It has been a productive day.

An Acrobat!

The Acrobat!

1. An Acrobat of a nightingale. It doesn’t know I am writing about it. It was frolicking and it has hardly moved in the last hour. I moved 31 times to put scrapped grass onto a heap.

2. A cow was buried at this very place in 2018. Now it’s being used as a place to put grains. Not exactly a granary as it’s an open space.

3. Some birds are picking grains. Mustard plants are resplendent exquisite scenery as Sun shines. It’s a Sunday.

Mustard

4. The collection and burning of garbage took half an hour. It has been 1.5 hours of work here. I need to take some rest before I resume.
