Another Dark Night Ends!
1. Took me 54 minutes to register 20 books.
2. Couldn’t bypass conversation of Nachiketa with Yama. The lure of Brahmavidya. I read about it in a book when I was six years old. The word Moksha means liberation. I later developed a vocabulary with at least 40 words for the concept of enlightenment or awakening. Did a guest post on James Harbeck’s blog on the same. The book “Tales From Upanishads,” has been written by Shri Shankar Dattatreya Dev and translated by Shrimati Shakuntala Pathak.
3. Came across Belgian author Matter link’s play Shab-e-taar or Dark Night. The book has been translated by Premchand. The standard preface in Urdu has been rendered beautifully with glossary of terms in the footnote. I clearly recall getting this book issued in the last iteration of registration. I enjoyed it a bit. Premchand was master of Hindu as well as Urdu prose.
4. Another dark night ends. It’s the truth realm. I know the way in and out of it. I had a brief discussion with the librarian as we sat outside his naturopathy clinic. It’s the dawn of the gods as per the Hindu calender.

Disappearence of Point Zero!
1. For no bitter history. The network engineer’s instagram handle becomes invisible for me. This note is to keep memory. Maybe she would be back maybe not. The WordPress site is still there if you need to read that NaPoWrMo post or Point Zero.
2. After Nandita and others it’s for the first time that network engineer has become invisible for me. I merely made three comments on two posts. I don’t consider myself to be the cause. Direct or indirect.
Tohu Mercurial!
1. Played 10 vocabulary jams on vocabulary.com. Scored first rank on 8 of them second rank on 2 of them. Stephen D, PC and others were absent. Eat B was present.
2. My scores: (605, 645, 600, 740, 790, 365, 550, 565, 830, 655)
3. The scores are out of 1000.
4. I intend to score in excess of 850 on most games. It’s a realistic goal. Achievable.
5. A Tohu Verse with words culled from the games:
Staunch haunch launch
Hunch lunch munch
Kin pumpkin in innards

Deja Vus.
1. I had two deja vus today. Very strong. The first one was as i reached the Dhavarra, Nowgong finishing point and entered the washroom. The other one was when the waterballs guy began giving me waterballs. He seemed rapid compared to me. The twilight zone bird crossed once as some leaves were shed by a tree.
2. Deja vus have to do with reward circuits in your brain because they’re usually positive experiences.
Bib and Bruises!
1. I began walking systematically again in 2019. I could run a bit last year. The performance is not bad from the viewpoint of that build-up personally for me.
2. Registered 13 titles in library. The bruises on feet are due to slippers alien to them. Also need to buy new slippers.
Bundelkhand Marathon 2021 Fit India Event Concludes!
1. The race began by 7:00 AM. They had called us to stadium by 5:00 AM.
2. They had announced the start time as 6:00 AM.
3. I reached to a red chair under Ashok tree in Gandhi Smarak Bhavan after my lunch in Deendayal Rasoi.
4. It was day 21 in Deendayal Rasoi.
5. I told marathon details to some people who asked me questions because I was wearing T-shirt and bib given by the organizers.
6. It took me 200 minutes to cover 30 kilometres. It took me about five more to reach highway, where I got into a taxi.
7. My measurements were not wrong. The board on Jhan Jhan Devi said it was a six kilometres distance. I measured my time. It was 21 minutes. Double of that is 42 minutes for 12 kilometers. Then: triple of that is 126 minutes for 36 kilometres. Which means 30 kilometres should take about (126-21=105 minutes)
8. The measurement in point number 7 are accurate. I took couple of pissing breaks. Kept walking as fast as I walked that day and ran as well. The first lap of jogging was about 23 minutes followed by shorter laps of jogging and longer laps of walking.
10. The winner Anees Thapa works in Indian army in Hyderabad. He completed race in 1H30M53S
11. Out of 1034 participants 400 completed the race.
12. Despite my being very slow in finishing the race: it was a joy. Runner’s high is a recognised phenomenon. I had not walked or ran so long at a stretch ever before. I would like to thank organizers, participants and everyone else for this program which promotes fitness.

What are the odds?
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.
