I woke up with wonderful dark clouds all around. Birds are chirping around me. Some of them are heading to their offices. All plants and trees look green and fresh. Air is cool with water sprinkler as I walk on roof clicking pictures. I kept thinking about you. I feel your absence from the back of my heart. I was wondering if there was any compulsion which made you respond to every single call. I guess I’ll have to reach out and touch you. You move my heart. Too profound to describe it. It’s like this most comfortable presence: all doubts and seeking is lost in it. I find myself at home. Beyond worries. Beyond holding.

2. I had tears for a kid. A kid dreaming to make it big in the world of Cricket. Skid id . The childhood was eaten up by alcoholic beverages and domestic violence. He absconded multiple times to fulfill his dream of becoming a cricketer.
1. Nightingale and peacock. Honey bees and cicadas. Mosquito and Spider nets. In my class yesterday I had a brief discussion about the hornet’s nest. I had read an article in the newspaper about the deadly power hornets wield in USA and elsewhere to destroy honey bees systematically. Some days ago I was Surfing the web on my smartphone comfortably tucked inside the mosquito net on my roof. It might have been about 15 minutes or so when I decided to relax by laying down on a pillow. As I tried that I felt strange numbing irritating sensation on the left side of the top of my Skull. I wondered how could that be so painful as it was only some friction against the wall of the mosquito net. Once I realised it was the hornet inside the net the fear to move out of the net took over my being. As I was only wearing my underwear it could have given me multiple stings. But I have read that they put their entire power in one sting and sometimes death happens. To my surprise there was another and I hardly gathered the courage to move out of the nest.
2. No matter how resourceful o r creative you think you are you need to learn basic skills in order to be independent. Life saving skills come in handy all times. Shoaib had taught me to fold the net when he sold it to me but I had forgotten the method because it seemed complicated. I asked for help from my students and we looked at couple of videos on the same. Prior to that another pair of hornets had made their home inside the net which I used to leave open on roof under The Tin shade for the want of more space inside my room.
3. If I compare between the two approaches of blogging. Actually it should be called two approaches to writing: first is conventional typing using the keypad. I was many years behind other bloggers because I was using a laptop to type. Therefore it seemed burdensome when I started with a smartphone. On top of that the kitten made this phone fall and the keypad was destroyed beyond being recovered. Then by trial and error and a happy coincidence in my learning curve I came to recognise the potential to use OK Google Transcription service as a tool to record my ideas. Originally stream of ideas was supposed to be recorded live. it amounted in the maximum neural connections which are supposed to improve your intelligence because feedback is immediate. But the process has limitations. Since it is only the beginning of writing by speaking for me I am getting better at it day by day. Therefore you observe some of the articles with a better grammar and punctuation marks. The long articles are those which were transcribed using this service.
4. I have to edit and re-edit what I write most of the times with the transcription service. Whereas I am comfortable with whatever I publish by typing because that is the level of my communication skills and mastery over English grammar. I often wonder about the people who have mastered multiple languages because I have been stuck with basics of Hindi, English and Sanskrit. I do not regard superficial learning of languages highly. Having lived in the southern India for some years I can understand basics in some languages and due to their fraternity with Hindi and Bollywood I can understand Urdu and Punjabi quite well. But since I cannot use the script of those languages it is impossible for me to say that I have learnt those languages. I want to expand my vocabulary of English to a satisfactory level. In order to teach English I have to look up some words and I am constantly arriving bat new meanings and their associations with the ideas I already had about them. Unless I was concerned about editing the words I write I would have been much faster in recording them and that would have resulted in better articles. I think I would arrive at that point in sometime. It took me about 27 minutes to transcribe this post. Thanks for reading.
Thanks for reading. It ends there. Tagline. Catching fire. Catchword. Stock phrases.
1. Mosquitoes are eager to draw their life force out from this body and some batlings were acting like horsefly when I came upstairs.
2. I had my early dinner and a cup of tea for a change (instead of coffee which is instant pleasure these days.)
3. I learnt about the word bildungsroman and phrase coming of age. I had heard that phrase and I thought I knew the meaning. Bambi is the book being read by a student. I enquired what she was reading and also enquired about the author and genre. In my search for answers which she couldn’t provide: I gleaned that novel has been adapted into a popular Hollywood flick. It was written in 1923 and it was gifted to my student by someone. I might have a go at it if she lets me. I was working on the catalogue in the library. The preface of “Unique Pilgrimage” by Dada Dharmadhikari. It seemed like an engrossing entry for he differentiated between commonly accepted meaning of the word “aniket” from immanent, impersonal brahm which is without any abode because of its all pervasive nature. Actually it’s nature of the nature. The commonly accepted nature is that of a hobo. Bozo. Bezoar. Oar. Arra. Rastafaria. Aria. Rial. Lariat. Lanugo. Goanna. Nanny. Nyayalaya. Laya
4. I was asked this question–
” Amaron battery for the Massey Ferguson costs 5600₹ if you return the old worn out one. With a warranty period of 44 months. The same deal with Exide battery costs 5500₹. With a warranty period of 36 months. Which would be the deal worth doing ?”
The first one. Obviously. We had to grasp the formula for the warranty period after 24 months. It turned out to be about 40 percent being provided by the company. Meanwhile I looked up “Cranking Power.”

5. Pooja G belonged to the old circle of trolls. Melbuddhi is a new regular. Another technical blogger who seemed like a hacker is back with a new name. 5 years is a long time on wordpress. 10 years is long time online. I don’t have what it takes to earn money online. If apocalypse doesn’t happen by December: I might start thinking seriously about it. WordPress is an automatically self promoting firm. If you live in Canada or USA or work for them; you get to force feed all others and chances are you would be “freshly pressed and roasted like beans. He brew it so well that’s still fresh.”👍👍👍👍👍👍
One. Silence of cemeteries. Crickets and other insects are buzzing at high pitch. There are marks of sliding of leeches on the stone pavements. The banana leaves have been performing amazing dance full stop there has been a thick layer of Clouds on sky since morning but no signs of rain. A peacock and Nightingale have been singing intermittently and the Bells in the nearby Hanuman temple c h i m e.
2. It was exceedingly silent today for some reason it has been so on some occasions. I followed some news only to find that some substantial steps have been taken by government to indicate that China is no longer going to be a good business partner and the burning of Chinese items by various people in Different cities and States is not merely for show.
3. It is the world Olympic day. Olympics have been celebrated as the human spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.. this year Olympics were cancelled and the city of Tokyo which was prepared to host it is prepared to organise next year. Another news related to Asia China has been successful after along trial period to achieve the speed of 600 km per hour with its new advanced bullet train.
4. My student with bhajan playing on his smart phone puts his hand on my left shoulder to startle me. I found this lyrics to be soothing.
1. Time is the only stamp. The pictures don’t tell if I was feeling comfortable or uncomfortable.
2. China, Corona and drizzling is the news. The latest. I had a short trip with some friends to a village. It wasn’t what I expected it to be. I kept puking. Akon is developing a new crypto currency and a new city. Here is a song which was a pleasure once from the vocal belting maestro: don’t matter.
3. We saw monkeys on our way and back but no tigers in the buffer zone. It was a small journey and it was after a long time. I wanted it to end as soon as possible. Towards the end I wondered if I wanted to squelch it off from my memory. The stone shall be reminder: going out of comfort zones and unplanned trips. What is a routine for someone might be an adventure for others and an addiction for another.

We concluded that there are no great humans. Just myth which is busted with a very little digging. But you need something to gossip about. You need someone to gossip about. Maybe you don’t. Maybe it’s just me.
1. DLOG is short for dialogue and the acronym for Dancing light of Grace.
2. Imagine as a verb was never used in my studies as it was found today in the IBM: ad version. In Spotify it gives poor people about thirty minutes of aid. Maid. Animadversion would do anima. Amina will treat amino acids.
3. Imagine means real or seen in a new light or way in that: just to clarify.

It’s easier than it seems. I began doping this as an exercise when I was looking for lengthy words. I might have published some of the longest words ever but they are undeerevognized. My smartphone keypad doesn’t do C…it instead does V . So long…
1.I had a walk inside the stadium. It was after the yoga inside Gandhi Smarak Bhavan. It was open for walk after a long time. Some people were playing cricket inside. I think they were policewale.
2. I observed a bunch of bricks outside my house. They’re planning on construction upstairs. It clearly means noise. Then maybe tenants. Why not. They have money to pay for the bricks but if I ask-mummy would land in Egypt, Cairo. She would say – it’s borrowed. If I wait to recount the number of times they have gone back on their words in the last 8 years or even in the last 8 months- it will be an altercation. What can I do. If I really try to leave…They will use their contacts and police to ensure that much ado is created about nothing. Hence I choose to keep mum and vent here. If my siblings had not made false promises 6 months ago. If my father wasn’t an inveterate liar. If that cat hadn’t made this phone fall; resulting in cracking of an already cracked screen and spoiling of the keypad…. would I have been less wiser?
3. I had a walk to the lake. I observed clouds. Bats and chatted with you. I enjoyed listening to bats who were flying and banging upside down on Ashvath tree. I took some pictures.
4.
5. I got to port the SIM card to idea. I walked back listening to music and saving myself from traffic. I filled the bike tank with petrol worth fifty rupees. I need it every four days or maybe six. It’s costly for someone who earns as little as I do with no previous savings left in hand( my greedy parents and siblings.) I would have bought a bicycle if I could afford. That about sums my day today. Another Saturday. Tomorrow is another occultation. Syzgy. Equinox. Solstice.
2. I came to visit stadium. It was open in the morning and I walked 10 rounds clockwise. I thought it would be open for good and for all. I was wrong. The local administration has been as much of a mystery is the world events at large.
3. The same boys who were playing in the morning were also playing in the evening. I think they were from the police force but I might be wrong.
4. I tried finding an alternate entry but in vain. Therefore the morning exercise might remain a memory.
Twilight
5. This is another luxury. To be able to sit besides this pond. There are some Birds hanging upside down on the peepal tree. The park nearby is still locked and there are couple of boats in the pond. There are some guys fishing on the other side of the pond. The setting sun looks beautiful.
6. I wanted to come here. It’s only the second visit this year. There are some dark clouds on the sky. I could port my sim card to Idea. It has been a long time since I watched a good movie. I feel there are no good new movies being released right now. I had already watched all the Great movies available. Web series and new TV shows are not affordable.
7. I met a guy who was my classmate long ago. We had met only once before. He asked me if I could lend him 250 rupees. I I told him that the situation is tight and I had no money to give him. Then he told me about the upcoming occultation and the suggestion given by his Guru to stay inside home for the period.
8. Someone had told him that he is a Virgo. I asked for his DOB. He said that he didn’t remember that.
9. I am not sure if it is the best medicine for boredom. But it is something which I have been longing for for a while now.
10. Some delusions have gone for good. The hope has also died. It is what it is. The Hungry ghosts which came in between have bid adieu. I take the responsibility of the situation I am in right now.
11. In the morning I am looking 7. I can see. Seesaw gewgaw gawn hawkshaw Wishing I could sleep. Sleep leap year early lyre I see, and I see, and I see, and I see. Seen sean Shawn lawn awning Omnivores. Yes, seeing, I can see. Hawk skein see, I see, I see, I see, I see.
1. In the end it all balances out. Or maybe not. Who am I to complain.
2. The leaders aren’t leaders because they can lead. I am not writing because I can. If boys can’t be fair in the play –how can they be fair in life? Especially when “everything is fair in the war. ..and survival of the fittest ;” has been fed into them ad nauseum.
3. They neither know how to bat nor know how to bowl and yet they want to lead because then those who deserve or those who have it by the way of rotation will learn the game and the myth of their greatness would crumble. Use false excuses and reasoning to control and keep perfecting this even if your game stays mediocre. Your celebs taught you this. And swag instead of sweating. The generation of Chuck is evolving into a cult of Chuck : a baby doll which murders all of the family members.
4. If you are confused, here’s what happened: I wanted to be the captain. I did the toss as the captain. The member in my team took reigns unrighteously after arguing with me about how well he knew the opposite side. He along with the other guy who was a pseudo captain just because he knew couple of guys on field: kept bowling by taking turns until match went out of our hands. The opponent’s team played well. Yes, why do you never rotate bowling spells? Even when you’re beaten like a donkey! And what is the one bounce catches for!
5. This is the system. I can’t change. I am thankful for the drops of drizzle on my shaved head. Thankful for the exercise I had with guys younger than me . Thankful for gutka spitting ragamuffins. I am thankful for a little of sky. A little of Sunset. Thankful for being alive! Not really. What else but infinite life exists forever.
1. In sidereal zodiac, transit of planets with respect to moon indicates current trends. Intriguing combination of 6 retro grid planets includes North and South nodes of moon which are considered to be always retrograde.
2. Not much is known about the behaviour of retrograde planets. It is actually the appearance of a planet which is passing through some unique point with respect to observers on Earth. I clearly remember that as I was beginning to delve into the vedic astrology in the year 2009 when I was about to join the firm in which I worked for the next 3 years; the planet Mars was retrograde in the eighth house of cancer. Usually it takes one month two to transit through any sign but due to the retrograde motion it took an exceptional 8 months full stop it was revelation and learning for me.
3. The website Vaidik scholar.com was in its Inception in those days. And I used to frequently visit it to check the transit charts. Now it charges and the process is also difficult. With the passage of time the same services get costlier. This seems to be the only direction our society heads.
4. Trees are dancing in the breeze right now. I practiced breathing to get rid of toxins. International yoga day will be celebrated with the summer solstice or is it Equinox ? I would have to check.

5. Some experts say that the malefics start behaving like benefics and vice versa in case of retrograde planets.
6. Whatever happens might be an interesting study for all the astrology students. Do the planets show regressive thinking in the populace at large ? it remains to be seen.
7. I went to play cricket with my friends to a large ground yesterday in the evening. It seemed to be a luxury. It was very ordinary some 25 years ago. in the last 10 to 15 years urbanisation has happened at a rapid speed in my town. Stadium is still closed and reserved only for the police force. I do not understand. Maybe I would after awhile.
2. Then the laptop publishing and now the smartest smartphone Publishing. I had frequently heard the term from Starjade-the deutronomy prophet. Now he’s nowhere to be found.
3. I never considered my being able to do this. It seemed too narrow and suffocating. But I am doing it and thriving.
4. There is a thick layer of Clouds in the sky right now. The sun is shining brightly. Look for yourself:
19.6.2020
5. Some Birds are flying south and some others are singing on nearby trees. A dog is barking and a bore well is being dug.
6. Some two wheelers passing by and flowers dancing. Some verses are being read in a nearby Temple.
