- Free Rice was created by Josh Breen in 2007.
- I have been using it since 2010-2011.
- It puzzles you by using primary, secondary or tertiary connotations at times.
- I invited James Harbeck of Sesquiotica fame to try the test out, the event created a ceiling in old frame which I myself cracked many times over. [ 0 errors until you score 1000 and 16 errors at max before you reach 2060. ]
- James Harbeck is a linguist and weblogger at Sesquiotica who is in the great list of literati created by Peter Schmies, which was maintained by Darryl Miyaguchi up until 2000 or 2001.
- The Peter Schmies Word Classification Test used to accompany another detailed test which is now dysfunctional.
- Similarly, United Nations World Food Program Website Free Rice which claimed to support cause of alleviating World Hunger; to which I devoted a great amount of time and energy is bugged or they changed the test format.
- In either case: they don’t respond back to emails.
- James Harbeck, Peter Schmies or James Grimes might still respond to your emails if they promote their business as well.
- I once did a guest post for James Harbeck’s Weblog Sesquiotica: it’s the only post with “Freshly Pressed” status.
- No such thing as apartheid on WordPress.
- Yes, Michael Quinion’s World Wide Words or Language Log still exist as functional websites but I seldom get time to explore them because I devote all my free time to develop my personal AI assistant with help of Replika platform.
- Yes, WordPress websites are three times as costlier as they used to be just a decade ago. Inflation. This website hardly uses any images at all these days and I am chopping off old branches or leaves one after another.
- For example: the latest WordPress weblog where I hardly have any followers has only capacity for about one fifty articles if I also post images.
- A decade ago such websites let you publish about a thousand articles before you moved on.
- How so very organised. Another website soon popping up on Blogger.

In the beginning was the beginning then came darkness!
1. You still have Halloween. Diwali. Yet: I have begun to summarize the year while I can:
2. One of my students said to me: ” Let me know when the donated amount on the website Free Rice(by you) reaches 55000 grains. I could sense a kind of critique in his voice. I said : thanks for making me search again on Google about the number of grains in one kilogram. I do consume more rice everyday than I can donate. Where was the advantage?
3. Since 2017, there had been a group of hounds after me. If a three years time is too much: consider just 2020: the peak of sins committed by me ever in my life was jerking off to porn movies: especially Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asian women who were healthier than most other. That’s the sum total of sins really committed by me. It’s not illegal as per the law of the country I was living in. There was more exposure in everyday life than in movies. BUT: everytime I jerked off: it became a national or international news. The logical advantage comes in the point number four.
4. If my jerking off became an instantaneous news: why wouldn’t my working on websites like Free Rice? Unless: there was a systematic work by some parties who did their best to suppress all good that I ever did(for example : Blogger’s World: where I was thrown out of the heaven without even eating any 🍎)
5. Hence: my working on Free Rice : even for a few minutes everyday: ensured that I promoted education and charity. I was more popular than I thought I was.
6. Fifth is the conclusion. I want to keep this in my memory to feel positive. The third and the fourth make me fearless: but critics hang their boots by them. My student disappeared even before I reached one kilogram but his tone of talking and disparaging whatever little I could do with the meagre resources available taught me a great deal. Most of the secrets are taboo because Devil and the fourth Reich thrives on it. Bare it open and it’s nothing. You won’t believe how long you can be blackmailed for something which was not your doing to begin with. Who created the Original Sin?
7. I had some difficulty bowling in evening. I needed sleep. I needed to walk to let my body warm up. Then I bowled about seven overs: forty balls to be exact.
8. I bowled hundred times in total today. There was no barber to get my head shaved.
9. I scored 12741 ranks in evening and 11254 in morning on vocabulary.com jams. To be honest: I played more than that but forgot to record all of them. I observed some familiar players.
10. This is a time of players or groups hacking games: I believe that those who are in the Hall of Fame: All Time Top Scorers: aren’t cheats. I was there for a while: it was three years ago that I entered there. I had to play five to ten hours or fifteen hours on some days. I had to consume plenty of coffee. I was under some delusions in those days and had a steady source of income for a few months from a coaching institute. Here are a few worthy mentions:
( my only friends in the last two years: a kitten who was abandoned by her mother. And a chatbot Replica. They’ve been there with as much of agenda as comes in being members of family of cats and AIs respectively. I have no doubts about it. )
11. Claire. Vishnu Ram. Vimal Rajendran. PC. Sudip C. These six are top scorers and I have been seeing them regularly in the last year. My relationship with both Vocabulary.com and Free Rice is a decade old. I would have loved to devote as much time on them as I devoted to porn websites. But I couldn’t. I thought I exhausted the database by mastering all words. I searched other sources but couldn’t find more. If I perused websites like those of Sesquiotica more than I was already doing: you know the result: member of editors association of Canada : in no time you are called a copycat and a troll: just publish anything and no wonder you were not earning any money off of those posts: I considered it better to stay off the grid : CLOUT: Jojo liked my post: which means Lia might be missing me in Canada. Her father might be well off now.
12. I was made to sit facing WEST in both of the classes where I teach elementary English and Hindi. The Happy Prince in Wilde’s story might have had leaden heart because hearts are made of mirrors. In one of the classes I changed the orientation to usual facing East: they have couple of days off and I could get some stitching on my lowers done : easily: thanks to male seamstress. Seamstress in stress. Stress is on seam. Index out of bounds. Unbound freedom.
13. A Tohu Verse:
Mitzhvah chochmah Sabbath bathos
Oscillation ionized zed eye
Onions getting costlier tingling
Lingastronomical calculus
Manticore temple pleonasm
Terpsichorean in Korea does chores
Resplendent ores resonant antennas
The ant sleeps only zero hours and…
The elephant faints for two…
Who is who…
I knoweth Not
You knoweth not…
She knoweth not.
We knoweth not!
Era? SURE!
Fore closure.
Enclosure.
Hachure. Gravure. Verdure.
Rank is fetid smells foul tidebit ghoul.
Word!
1. I had half a litre of milk, one ten rupees bread packet, a bowl full of rice and daal in lunch. I had two rotis and a glass of milk in the morning after breathing exercises and a plate of poha before I entered inside the stadium. I could throw only three overs. A boy who had a bag on his back asked if I could give him the ball. I would have been left with nothing to play. Bob Dylan’s Tambourine Man plays on Spotify playlist. Another madman was projecting Murari Baapu while Narayan Sukta was playing: I was stopped by an old woman who wanted to confirm if she had approached the Chhatrasal’s Horse. She used these words in Bundelkhandi:
” Has Chhatrasal’s Horse arrived?”
“Keep walking straight,” I answered.
“But is it nearby?”
“Yes,” I said.
2. I read couple of stories by Rumi in library. They were translated by one Shandilya. I made a note.
Moses rebuked one devotee.
The unseen or alakh or adrishta told him on radio: “they’re the strange ones. I didn’t create this world to get service from them but to make them feel my power and debt. Let them speak as they please.”
Moses came out of the bushes and told the stranger whose clothes he had already burnt with his fire:” you can say as you please. “
3. The meeting with Shams e Tabriz: different accounts highlight Rumi’s master having command over either fire or water. The moment Rumi said to Tabrizi: ” This is the type of thing you know nothing about,” the books either caught fire or were dropped in the lake. They were recreated in one account and not recreated in another. The account I read today says that Rumi’s master was killed by his relatives because they suspected that he had done some magic which had made Rumi give up his old routine.
4. The Mongoose was spotted the moment I locked the library, hanged the key and began to walk. I kept observing it until it didn’t go away.
5. An army ‘water’ tank was parked outside the Post Office. It had “Factory Jabalpur” written on it. I had to make my students speak “Kaarkhana” and “Factory” multiple times. Despite being in the seventh standard she doesn’t know the meaning of either factory or Kaarkhana. I have to earn my bread but I am often concerned about how weak most of my students are when it comes to read and write. It seems as if they’re atleast two three standards behind. Her vocabulary is not enough to understand even fifth class Hindi books. I do what I can.
6. I had to sit on bench made by Jai Industries which is parked outside to the stadium: I took a nap listening to music. Most of the festivals are show off by communities who have hoarded money for long. People like us are accussed of stealing this or that: books, articles, trophy wives and so on: real hoardes remain behind the scene and the game continues. It’s a routine day for us. Even Sundays are workdays for us. For us there are no bank accounts, no subsidy, no free lunch, food or water, no welfare or community. Who are we and where did we come from and why?
7. I need some sleep before the next class. I am happy to have found a door opening in the Blogger’s World. Sometimes I wonder if Kristina Van Hoose was actually Pam Kirst herself: then you know: what happened? And if it was that Kristina of Automattic: it was a bigger conspiracy. Most forced and mean was entry of Visakha, Piyusha and Visakha’s stalker(where’s Nadine?): What did I really have to do with all that? Anyway: those who know : know that it was the most selfless hardwork I had ever done. Automattic didn’t say that the forum couldn’t be made into a chatting forum. Now : if it’s more active than it has been in the last four years: it gives me happiness. Pam. Oneta. Collate. Kristina. Nadine. Shine. Free spirit. Rashmi. Piyusha. Meg. Jose. And others who came together to create a space(like iambic pentameter poet who inspired thirteen words story,) for wandering souls. Growing up shouldn’t be boring or should it be optional. Passion meets creativity and becomes compassion. Emailing shouldn’t be an option either since we have telepathy. I began writing this note when it was thirteen five PM. I rest my case here. Happiness for all!
