1. I had a dream. I wrote a story. A long thread. Books. Kabir. Chetandas. Ramananda. Bhaas. Moon. Sun. Baanbhatta.
2. Tells you nothing you know!
3. There are so many people working for me!
4. Baadraayana. Bhasa. Bana. Nalini. Lily. Sun. Moon. Logos. Yahweh. IAMTHATIAM. Dark girl on her birthday. Dreams and their fulfilment.

1. I walked 24 rounds. Anti-clockwise. Inside stadium. I had a sprain in the right shoulder and I wanted to give it some rest. I didn’t run. There were not as many people today. I broke my previous record of 23 rounds. It seemed easier this time. (Based on Vrijpura experience: I can walk 50 rounds everyday! It means about three hours of walking everyday) I need to reduce flab on my tummy which is gradually increasing. I should continue to walk in evening as it’s the foundation for running. Morning bowling and evening walk should do the trick! All that you build up has to be maintained. Ah the rut!
2. Milind’s call kept me engaged. Couldn’t teach the kids. I enjoyed speaking to him. It was after a long time. He’s similar to Piyush in a way. Both of them seem to be intellectuals who connected with me because of my ideas and outlook on life.
3. The earplugs were acting up. Now I need to buy another.(15 days for 50 rupees. Earplugs. Tennis balls. Internet recharges. Most minimalistic of lifestyles can’t be maintained. Regular getting of head shaved needs 50 rupees per week. Plus regular diet) The picture above was taken just outside the stadium where two gentlemen on bike were distributing sweets to kids who were standing near the lights. They asked me to take picture with kids but I didn’t because I am not sure of anything anymore. Piyush told me yesterday that it is illegal to take pictures of people without their consent. I click pictures of Sun and birds without their consent and if groups of people come in my way : I don’t bother to ask each one of them to give me space to take pictures but I need to be careful before I start making a million dollars per hour. Then I might be worth being sued. As of now : what I click or write is worth toilet paper or even lesser.
4. I played vocabulary jams. On three of them I scored 221 ranks. I want to play more if time allows.
5. Shri was happy today. She laughed a lot and scored well on test on clause. (45 out of 50) Her score in Hindi half-yearly exams is 56 marks out of 80. It’s less than 75 percent. Her friend scored 38 marks out of 80 which makes me a suitable candidate to teach her and I asked her to recommend me to her friend. But it’s not how it works here. I am anxious about her tomorrow’s test. After tomorrow we might be able to study new chapters and play some games of verbal intelligence. I need to buy another tennis ball.
6. The picture above was taken just in front of the Narasimha temple with the permission of the shop owner. I enjoyed teaching Rohan. Shops were all decorated with colors.
1. I bowled only twenty times this morning. I ran more than I bowled.
2. I listened music and played vocabulary jam.
3. I need to play more and write more.
4. It’s a day with harmony: 11112020. There are two pairs. It’s also the eleventh lunar day as per Hindu calender. I spotted Leo Moon and Venus from roof this morning.
5. Yesterday a miracle happened. I bought a laptop in 2010. I spent a lot of money on getting it repaired. Final repairing rendered it useless. Two thousand rupees wasted! After couple of years: yesterday evening as I was playing ball with the students of my class in my room: Vandana came asking for password. I was surprised. Rahul was successful in booting it up. He wants to work. I deleted some old files. It’s working but it’s not for me. I renounced it once in 2013, then again in 2018. Now it’s the final renunciation. This smartphone needed many sacrifices to reach to my hands.
6. Now that election results are out: I need to figure out how my employment as a freelancer might become more lucrative. If they come up with greater Corona hullabaloo: it might take exercise and playing away from people again. Unemployed people are counting on new regimes.
7. A Tohu Verse to celebrate the occasion:
Election ion lectern in turn intern
Wednesday angels light festivity
Darkness increases
Raise the purple lantern
Watch the play
Dance the dance
Drink the ambrosia!
8. Soon another election. Business as usual.
1. Outside the badminton court: an old bespectacled calm looking guy was playing tennis. I went to the hand pump to wash my feet and then I took a piss nearby. That’s the usual place most people piss in stadium.
2. I felt like asking that man: how much did you pay for that racket ? I asked him that.
Then he said: 3.
I asked again: 3 what?
He said it was 3000. I asked if it was available nearby. As if: I would have made that my next goal.
The thing is: he himself told me:” no one plays tennis here.” I brought it from Bhopal. His demeanor was disarming. I thanked him and parted. It was the first time I saw someone playing tennis inside this stadium.
1. The blind man with stick. I helped him cross the road. I didn’t tell Shri about it. But as i was asking her questions: she told about “Andhadhun,” the latest movie she has watched. The protagonist is shown as a blind man. Now it’s a strange synchronicity.
2. The paths were clear near the schools where counting was being done. I counted the steps between the two dustbins as I walked towards Gandhi Smarak Bhavan and back: they came out to be: 127 or 128. It tells about my height and vitality: as usually it’s just 150.
3. A bus was going to Hrishikesh. Sun is going to South: the current is stronger than the eternal: hence Satyamev Jayate. Seth always wins!
4. I was shown this strange dream. It has become true: the greed which was in my sibling’s room came to mine. I saw its yellow colour: the habit of accumulation. Wisdom is golden wisdom. Compassionate distribution. I was shown a passage where my house was in a condition of two decades ago. All of the neighborhood was gone. A son of Seth was driving a bicycle and I reached to the Gandhi Smarak Bhavan after the firing incident. I was shown a higher path by the secretary. It’s what was shown in the dream.
5. What happens now: I went to see the third storey. They sacrificed me repeatedly. As soon as we sat to study or meditation their hammers came in. The vision was good but I was unsure if the roof or the foundation will stay for long! So much for dreams. Ganesha dream: and others: imagination can play Havoc on you but the real event is nothing.
1. A big screen showing the counting of votes has been placed just outside the stadium. Election results will decide the ruling party and the leader in this state.
2. Yesterday evening I sat with Piyush. I told him about the hacking. He told that it might be technical error in smartphone. I decided to delete three of the posts on this blog. If you liked reading them and wonder why they were deleted: it’s because I am not sure if I can continue on that line which is merely speculation. There were nine birds.
3. Today I bowled about 75 times. When I was bowling towards the South: I again faced the problem because of “hands free,” feature of Google. The music would stop and start at random. It all stopped when I went away from people : as I started bowling towards West: it came only once after 70 balls. As of now I don’t have a resolution.
4. Purushottam sprouts shop guy stopped to ask if I needed to buy juice which is a cure for 350 diseases. I bought it and he had no change therefore he said that he would get paid tomorrow. I have to pay him ten rupees and ten rupees to Piyush when we meet next.
5. Tiwariji, Pateria and Lucky were the people mentioned in the posts I deleted. They happened to be near the events of hacking.
6. It’s a nice day. Weather is pleasant. I enjoyed playing in stadium. I also played couple of vocabulary jams. I got second rank in both of them. A student named Amit from Maharshi Vidya Mandir asked me how to bowl. I told him what I thought was an appropriate action. I am not an expert. Then those four kids turned to me for counsel on whether the first run is counted if you get runout during the second. I said: yes.
7. If I am asked to give directions or asked for suggestions on something: I know it’s rare. It’s either fixed or planned. To have lived among people where normal behaviour looks like conspiracy. Am I really the creator of this world of mine?

1. Borrowing leads to more borrowing. Ideally I should have learnt the alchemy by now: I would have been a wealthy man. Practically: I am going to borrow another two hundred for the internet recharge. I took an advance from my employer who enquired about our progress in studies. It’s not the first time she used “addiction” for my reading habits. It does seem flattering but truth is: I am far behind than I should have been. I told her about Shri’s progress in Hindi and English.
2. We did some catching practice as she was bored of the play written by Sanskrit playwright Bhasa. It was written many centuries ago. It was based on the popular event in which Duryodhana the king of Kauravas who were dark half of Mahabharata was ruling the country and the bright half was in the exile yearning for five villages or half of the kingdom as per their right. Vaasudev comes as a messenger.
3. The students were quicker than me in Sanskrit. I was drowsy when they knocked. We had a nice time reading some verses and doing some practice.
4. Dhaniram was sitting at horse square. I took the picture. I also observed a Bramhani lizard just outside the stadium: it tried to run towards my feet.
5. This picture was taken outside the Narasimha temple:
1. I bowled 70 times. About 12 overs. As soon as I entered the stadium: I observed policemen inspecting the helipad circle. I could only bowl an over when one gunman began ordering the evacuation of the place. I went to Shatabdi ground where I could ball for a while and also watched others play.
2. There were 14 people standing outside the stadium in a circle with a flag. There were 7 yesterday. One of them with a burly figure showed up yesterday when the hacking event happened. It might just be a speculation but his demeanor along with that of three boys who made a remark : was an admission of their act.
3. I need to play some jams to get in shape.
4. A man with bushy eyebrows on a scooty which had police written on it showed a left hand very late on a turn. He looked like a retired man. Then another sweeper asked me the address to Seetadevi ITI: I told him two ways, after which a man, a lady and a child: all with tilak signs on their forehead called him back to add something to their previous conversation.
5. I had juice of sprouts. It’s a bitter juice.

1. Are inaccessible on all browsers available on this phone.
2. The site is working as far as the challenge is concerned or learning via lists.
3. The point is: to not allow you to advance in the manner you wanted to.
4. These hackers aren’t pro education.
5. I don’t meddle with someone’s work. They do. Let’s see how long before jams are accessible.
6. There was a time when I looked down upon jams simply because they fetched very little points. I could master lists in a matter of minutes and shin up the tower of rankings.
7. Jam was a way to socialize and make friends as I played: PC, Claire and Stephen. People who were always ahead of me. Hackers are obstructing education of others and there are always bigger fishes in the sea. Just keep it in mind.
