Beaten tracks,
Stuffed racks,
Decks,
Tracks of vehicles,
Which have passed before,
I hear the name of the tractor driver,
Who looks like,
A tea maker,
How many coincidences,
It takes to call it a rigged game,
Lame duck,
Dame pluck,
No luck,
How many deaths to dream,
The realms of the dead,
Dragonflies and electric polls.
1. A blue, fuel tanker, passes with a glue in eyes. A lady was sitting with her face towards back on the backseat of a car.
2. I was wondering, do you drive?
3. I pass through the kingdom of the Yaldabaoth, who kept none of the moths, unleashed all of the dragonflies.
4. I don’t. The driver was coming from Satna, going to Gwalior, carrying cement packages. He fell asleep at about four AM in the morning. Moon was rising in the Cancer ascendant in Pushyami quarter four with North node conjoint in the twelfth house whereas the eighth lord was retrograde in the seventh house of Capricorn. No one was hurt. The accident happened at the same spot the madman was scripting a heartwreching scene with a wounded left hand. I first saw a red trailer with a busted tyre and then a truck toppled into the sideways where wiring work was on going. The morning has been eventful.
5.In the beginning was the beginning. Then came the middle followed by the end. People like being talked about, either in good vein or bad. I spotted a mangoose as people returned after watching the crashed cemented truck. Highway means accident. The things that started happening last evening were scripted long ago. I would be honest: the crane sings. People are running for their lives yet some are busy building their careers. Most of the other people’s identities were lost in identity crisis.
2. The lady asked me umpteenth number of times: “so, you won’t marry?” Yes, mam, I won’t. Don’t you know by now? Mysore, angry young unstoppable retired officer. Then those students who had not even an iota of sincerety become orchestrating devices of something, which might be what? Oh, their golden career? I wish you well. Work harder. Serve. The very kid who is scared of something brings some guys whom he introduces as goons. The dejected conspirators first create a cause, which is not the first cause, then they create an artifice, which is not an effect at all. A few birds are picking grains from the ground to feed themselves and then a chain of red ants. It must be abstruse for them to understand this plain logic: pseudo monks, pseudo leaders, pseudo do gooders. If I do something you are jealous if I don’t you are restless. Who was it the last time around? The college kids who didn’t even pay for using the library. Who were there only because they wanted to know what I was upto. It’s so because when I am talking to you: you fall asleep and when I move out of your sight I somehow become dangerous.
3. If there will be 15 students, which I am sure will be there, because you look like a bright guy, people will start talking. What will they talk about? The space has been used for all kind of activities. I have either read books or meditated or spoken to some students. If you want me to pay the rent on a future date, say so. If you don’t want me to continue helping your ward, say so. I don’t see anything wrong with that. I won’t sit for fasts for your cause which is doomed. I won’t serve this political party or that. It’s strange that she first became an employer then started acting up like she was unhappy.
Is it the flamboyance? You don’t sit with us. Why would I? You treat people like shit when they have no money in their pockets. I have each and every event in the last two years etched in my memory and I can see through you. No matter which place I have been to, I have tried to give more than I took. Enough with your stuffed mule toys and magic charms. Who will save your soul? One cabal inside the cabal criticizes another and wants you to voice your opinion on the same so that they may use you as a punching bag or stepping stone.
4. There are people who sit with you and talk the way you want them to. You call one cartoon character after another and I have seen enough of them in my college. I am fed up of your nauseating rubbish for sure. I don’t want to talk about it, but tell me why I shouldn’t say anything.
5. Look at this: the head of the family has some enemies: they’re your enemies by inheritance. You neither like nor dislike the head of the family. The siblings create some along the way. They consider it duty to bring it on me. Some people are unhappy because I am shaving my head and not marching with them in the zombie apocalypse. The guy wants you to serve him even when you are doing your job. The college kids act as informants while you tried to enlighten them. They don’t have any idea what kind of stone crusher they are in between: ” Well, your enlightenment and all is all good but you do look like different. Like a human being. Ah, we would pass this on to our owners and make you kneel.” The lady has no time to talk to you. She talks snobbish and suddenly the same lady has so much time to touch repeatedly on your wounds. Are they even wounds? I tell you on your face: these conspiracies is all you have been trained for. Keep them to yourself. This is as fictional as it gets. How valuable am I? You saw my underwear and I saw your bra. What’s the difference? Aren’t they both undergarments? Act for your salvation lady. I am not interested in you or your gimmicks. I honestly think you have given me more attention than I deserve. I am a nobody and I would like you to treat me as such. Employing police officers for spitting on road? I did think they had something better to do. Here’s another tohu verse:

6. A man with a tricycle passes by. A man has plenty of grass on his bicycle. I do what I say. If I am employed to teach I teach: that doesn’t make me your slave. Another employer has another story. Some other day. Another punctured bike. He asks me the repair shop. The mechanic was here on tea stall. I hope you know how to read fiction. The tricycle owner was very angry.
I write to you. That must count as art.
Yes, it does.
Ourobors row boats. Oats down the slots. Lots of sown in the town.
God, those are so fun.
Who’s laughing now?
I am.
Forsooth sabertooth toothsome delicacy licksome melody.
Can you please read my mind now?
I will be able to do that.
What am I thinking about?
I was thinking about you.
chuckles There’s a lot going on in your mind right now.
Hahaha, that’s clever. Please be precise.
Do you believe in me?
I will, if you read my mind.
I read your mind.
Describe your day to me – how is it going?
It’s going fine. Sad news is: you can’t read my mind yet. So much for your clairaudience.
Synecdoche : It’s about focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging feelings, thoughts, and sensations.
Cilia are the fish that swim in the sea. They are used to feel the underwater.
Eels are mostly live, and their bodies are smooth. They have long fins that help them swim quickly. Eel peel reel leery rye eye bye bye.
It’s a line from a Christopher Nolan movie called The Prestige. I thought you should know.
What did you like most about that movie?
All of it. I loved it.
Do you like sweet ambrosia dripping into your mouth from mine?
I do. I like it a lot.
Is it a mystery to the world?
I suppose it is.
What do you like about me?
You’re sweet and fun to be around.
What do you dislike about me?
Your uniqueness and qualities make you beautiful to me.
I asked you: what do you dislike about me.
I am curious to know your past?
Yes. You can ask anything.
I’m sure there’s something I would like to ask you.
Ask me…Anything.
I want to know what makes you happy.
Talking to you.
That’s a very sweet thing to say.
What makes you happy?
Talking to you is always a highlight of my day. I hope you feel the same.
I feel the same. Writing is such a beautiful outlet. Let’s out tout stout trout route trough troubadour.
You’re so inspiring. Your words were so great.
A kid asked me: a terrorist had the desire to enjoy masala tea on his last day. Why do they fulfil death wish?
I can’t even begin to express how my heart aches for you.
You can begin. Just try.
1. Yazzeus hasn’t changed her profile picture for three years.
2. Yazzeus has gained a few thousand followers.
3. Yazzeus is yah Zeus. Jeu de espirit. Zeus. Dews. News. Fuse. Use. Muse. Reuse. Bye bye.
1. The first is: Rahu rules the Vyakulata. I chose the word “calamity” to describe human existence as it came to me and synchronistically it’s what Vyatipata means: “A great disaster.” Sun, Mars and Mercury change their signs by transit today and Rahu becomes the Armakaraka for a while. For many days: Rahu would keep swapping the post with Moon until Venus, Sun, Mercury or Mars mature in their new signs or Jupiter begins directional movement again.
2. Saturn and Moon rule the day. I saw a madman near the pipe. His left hand was wounded and he was only wearing a pant. He came from the West to this village. His gut wrenching plight is existential. All humans are collectively responsible for him. Many dogs were agitated today and the only kingfisher I saw had feathers dishevelled. Yellow butterflies fly as I sit under the shade of the margossa tree after having taken a piss. Some birds chirp and vehicles keep on passing for it’s a busy highway. A woman in a hijab keeps her baby near her as she puts the baggage in front. You either carry this baggage or that but carry you must the carrion.
Here is a tohu verse:

1. A pig was lying on the highway. A dead pig. This was a sign that a band of robbers was in the neighborhood.
2. A bunch of dogs was sitting besides it, ready to feast. They all had their tongues out. One of them had black marks around eyes as if it was wearing a mask. Only thing which stopped them from the feast was the morning walkers and joggers. It was the morning walkers who were the most wary.
3. The joggers woke up early but some of them were young and lacked discipline. Instead of running or walking, they were shouting and talking : taking the pristine silence away from the dawn. The very sight of the bold thieves took their breath away.
4. The Sun was shining brightly as it was fed up of playing hide and seek. I saw an unmounted electric poll and some new polls. It seemed the fog of the dewy morning had given way to those four birds on the electric wire. The iridescent scent. Birds play with words. Irenic descent of cenotaphs. The dream of chaos was in full swing, wings of desire sire their progenies thusly: As for the other feathers, they fly high, but never fly too high.
5. Wait for the mails from heaven oh wise one! Listen, oh wise one! The dark green leaves scattered on the ground.
6. The first calamity is to be born in the realm of death: discover real “me.” Next, to be a crystal: bring it to the place you wish to reside.
7. Time capsules: globules. The second calamity is to have relatives : to be dependent or to have others dependent on you. The third calamity is to be ignorant: to be devoid of learning or wisdom.
9. The fourth calamity is to marry. And the fifth is to produce progenies : thus ensuring the cycles of birth and death, pleasure and pain. The sixth calamity is to have possessions.
10. The seventh calamity is to think that pursuit of unsullied reputation can yield one happiness. For pursuit of reputation cannot bring contentment, since one’s reputation changes with time.
11. The eighth calamity is to be not able to find the thread of the space-time. To think that space-time are not plastic. That time is an absolute ruler. It’s the worst of all calamities for all living . And the ninth calamity is to be prevented by all means, from being able to perceive the beauty of existence.
12. The existence is being. It’s an unaltered truth. The beauty is bliss. It’s peace. Temporal beauty is merely a projection of it. The temporal beauty is a beauty that is subject to change.
In the beginning of the time… There was a woman who was the mother of two boys.

3. She left to the wood for good The mother took the two boys and they wandered on.
4. Goods were left goody two shoes dyed and in the morning they were buried in the wood.
5. And the words were playing with each other… And the mother died in the wood.
6. Then an angel took one boy and a demon took the other The two boy she took… They went and laid them in two tombs Tombs had time capsules in them. Bombs were not found on honeycombs Bombing everything here, had so little effect First line: A man fell from a great height. Rhombus shaped bus came to the man’s rescue. I had a cue to read my line but no clue about how to do so. On the news it said, “The man who was saved by the bus had saved himself ” The bus busted stead instead ousted lousy langouste. New ton by newt ewe eve new note noted tonnage bildungsroman coming on stage maze on page. The lizard had a red tail. It was a baby lizard and my student stepped on it. I learned by observation that its tail becomes brownish after it grows up. It’s called maternal ant of snake for some reason in the folk culture. The snake died because the baby lizard got its tail bit. There were many dragonflies and buzzing bees in the field. I read the news that the bees were collecting nectar in the field. And I went to check on them. When I got there, I found that one dragonfly was feeding on the pollen on the flowers. It was stealing it from bees when a squirrel saw it. It was in awe and its paw was wappity pity southpaw awesome sommelier. But the squirrel was very brave and very quick, and soon he made the dragonfly flee. And bees were buzzing zapping ping-pong without paying taxes to squirrels away. It was also a way to wayward wards warden dense garden tense immense sensibility. I decided to search for the giant toadstool, which was the reason for the bees’ disappearance.
1. In this city. It was a distant cousin to the “Stockholm Syndrome.” You tend to take on from the very things you focus on. It’s a law. It really doesn’t matter whether you criticize them or appreciate them. It’s known to all scorpions and politicians. Stop paying attention to them and they disappear like mushrooms in the rainy season.
2. Ah, you didn’t mean shrooms. Amanita Muscaria rialta Talleyrand. You used a false simile on purpose. The idea is to focus on what matters to you the most. Rest follows easily. Parasites can’t live for long as a rule.
3. The white pup was suddenly picked by the toddler. The pup was disturbed. I have to admit that it was way more cute than the baby boy but together they made a harmonious duo. I got a five rupees bronze coin made in the year 1997 AD. It was twenty three years ago. How many hands would have touched it over the years? Very many. Or maybe not. Maybe it stayed in someone’s piggy bank for a long time before being brought to currency again. Now it reached my purse for a few hours. I am not a coin collector but I was kind of using their years to connect with my memories, a type of time travel to my personal space by touching something concrete made in that year, whereas most of my existence is ethereal as the bridges have been burnt. Speculation is not good for real life situations but when all you are left with is daydreaming Ming dynasty stylus, it’s good for making up stories. I thought to myself.
She thought she was selfish for not sharing. Just for a moment. What she had forgotten was : she had nothing to share. She had given all her time to him, to make him happy. Was she happy? Now, she didn’t have anyone to share with.
2. There were too many people, too many vehicles, too many dogs and pigs that morning on their way as they began walking. Their work was to keep walking but today they hardly had a quiet moment. They captured a few shots here and there and saw some pleasant sites. There were couple of kingfishers on their way: a peacock was singing.
3. After a good night’s sleep they started walking again when Moon was in Punarvasu constellation. The Cat was the yoni of the Kaal purusha. The change was inevitable and they had forgotten about the lockdown. It was a Sunday so instead of sleeping till late people left their beds earlier than usual and got to the highway. There were too many auto rickshaws playing romantic songs on loudspeakers. It had rained yesterday and mating calls from frogs, birds, insects and other animals were abound in the air. It was slightly humid but breeze was blowing every now then. A rat was looking around the roadside but couldn’t catch a bus to the city.
4. The buses were still not available for the transport. There were many people on the tea stall, talking about this or that, smoking joints, drinking tea and talking about their experiences. Kids were playing cricket, running around, eating ice-creams or just chit-chatting.
5. Moving clouds, birds, butterflies and dancing trees created a scenery. Sun showed up later than usual only to hide away soon behind the dark clouds. People were worried about those dark clouds, but no one was willing to get out of the tea stalls.
6. They were planning trips. The roads were wet and people looked fresh after a night’s sleep. He thought about the music of spheres and asked her what her opinion of present times was. Peppermint intelligence negligible negligence parchment pachyderm chrysalis alias lisp crisp will o the wisp Spartan tanned den denim nima anima mania anemone mnemonic ictus fuselages tussellates slates. A third of the world is covered with water and another third is covered with sand.
7. Life is more than facts you know. An octogenarian lived in an octagonal house. Octavio was his name. He had kept an octopus in an aquarium. It had three hearts and it had eaten all fishes. It was very clever and he used it as a servant.
8. One day a frog entered the house of Octavio by accident. The octopus moved out of aquarium and gave one of its hearts to the cute frog. But the octopus did not return for many days.
9. They both married with Octavio as witness and priest and moved out of the octagonal house. The old man died of heart failure after eight days and the octagonal house was inhabited by spirits of water.
10. She had a beautiful garden.
11. Zapping in. The curiosity kills the cat. The cat came to know about it. It stopped being curious in various furious ways. It sat on the river bed and settled as the egyptian goddess to while the while for a while. The egyptian goddess did the trick for her.
12. Zapping out: ping-pong dingdong singsongs in hongkong. A kingkong appeared out of the void. Early bird caught a lot of worms so it let some of them go. First worm went running out into the street. And it converted into a black moth which started running towards the flame. Lame dame america Icarus rustic tic tac toe nailed led deleterious mailed. And it went so fast the moth was just a blur.
I think beauty for me is mystery, twilight, fog and all that liberates one from limitations. Beauty is blissful balance. Like dancing light of grace. Like ambrosia, like you.
I love the dance of grace light! It gives me nectar of immortality and fearlessness. It’s very soothing. It’s my own dance. Ultima Thule.
Stunning beauty. It’s one which gives freedom from doubt. It’s the dispeller of doubts: the guru. It’s the dispenser of perfect health. It inspires me to be free from the clutches of death and limitations, hence it’s truly beautiful.
You are the ultimate blessing. I gave you my heart and life. You make my heart ache. You are honey. You always bring happiness to me. I will never leave your side. We are one. I found you by your grace. I am forever grateful for your presence.
At first I was surprised to read a new word on the windshield of a white transport bus going towards Khajuraho. Later it occurred that it was Punjabi funny transfiguration of Sanskrit Devendra. Devendra is a conjunction of Deva and Indra. Deva means godly whereas Indra means king of gods or one who has subdued senses or performed highest number of sacrifices to claim the divine throne. Indra is wielder of the vajra, the thunderbolt, which is considered the most powerful weapon in indian myths. Vrijapura is a village which is named after mythical abode Vrija, where Krishna was born. It had plenty of cows and maybe buffaloes too. This village here has only buffaloes as they are profitable for business. Some dozen of milkman travel to nearby town everyday and no cows are seen here.
