The Ghost in the Machine: When Teenagers Meet Gemini Live

I had to wait for the tea before it was warmed up by my mother who was busy singing with a bell in the worship room . The cook was working in the kitchen when kids left. I had made tea for my mother when she returned after her duty. I also served her water.
I told her that I had changed gas cylinder. Now there aren’t any in the reserve. I also discussed the cost of rice packages recently purchased by my father. That reminds me to work again on Free Rice as I intend to complete my study of all Free Rice words by the end of this year. It’s a project intended for research therefore I don’t feel any compulsion. Actually I had intended to complete the research by the end of the last year. The year was full of turmoils which made it impossible to sustain work.
I supplied warm water from geyser to my father. Prior to that I had served tea. Then a guest arrived and I again made a tea. There was another guest. Another tea served alongwith water. Then I warmed food up after my father was done with his regular reading of scriptures. The special salt seems to be coming to an end. The condiments have been covered by fungus.
I had to wait for utensils to be cleaned before I could pasteurise milk. Organised utensils in the kitchen. Cleansed the platform. Mopped floors. Cleansed clothes which are used in the kitchen and refilled my bathroom’s detergent box. I also refilled sugar box and tea box.
Students arrived later than yesterday though it’s going to be the usual time now. They needed to attend some ceremony today. The elder informed me that they might be able to stay only for half an hour and pleaded me to play Bus Service game on his smartphone using Wifi available here.
They ended up staying here for an hour – half of which was used for playing games on their phone.
The younger one was encouraged by me and his elder brother to speak in the Gemini Live session. Here’s the summary of sessions today:
Session One:
Student: Hello.
Gemini: Hello there! How can I help you today?
Student: Hello.
Gemini: I’m here! What’s on your mind?
Student: अगर 13 से 14 वर्ष से [बोलो साफ सुनाई दे रहा है उसको-[ speak clearly]me, as instructor, sometimes even subtle sounds are recorded though those directly spoken to the microphone aren’t. ]
Student: [me: दबाओ नहीं शब्दों को। बोलो ढंग से।(Speak clearly, don’t suppress. I recognised much hesitation in the student)] अगर मुझे खाना कितना खाना पड़ता है? चाहिए पड़ता है नहीं। कितना खाना चाहिए पड़ता है?
[ Unable to frame his sentences even in Hindi, partly because of hesitation and partly because of inhibited linguistic development though they both are also related factors. ]
Gemini: एक 13 से 14 वर्ष…
[ Interrupted]

Student: 13 जनवरी[ huh? Miscommunication]

Gemini: 13 से 14 वर्ष के किशोर को सही पोषण के लिए संतुलित आहार की आवश्यकता होती है। इसमें पर्याप्त मात्रा में प्रोटीन, कार्बोहाइड्रेट, वसा, विटामिन और खनिज शामिल होने चाहिए। क्या आप किसी विशेष प्रकार के भोजन के बारे में जानना चाहते हैं?
Student: Hello. Hello.

Gemini: हाँ, मैं 13 से 14 वर्ष के किशोर के पोषण के बारे में बात कर रहा था। आपको और क्या जानना है?
[ My student no longer wanted to continue after this. ]
We proceeded with evaluation of their homework. Only the elder student had done an essay in Sanskrit on the importance of Sanskrit language.
He had written Q1,Q2… in each line. I explained him that Questions are followed by Answers. Q and A.
Then we worked on Mathmatics Workbook.

Find three rational numbers between 5/7 and 9/11 and also show the method.
To find three rational numbers between \frac{5}{7} and \frac{9}{11}, we can use the Common Denominator Method. This method involves converting both fractions so they share the same denominator, making it easy to identify the numbers in between.
Step-by-Step Method:
1. Find a Common Denominator:
The denominators are 7 and 11. The least common multiple (LCM) of 7 and 11 is 77.
2. Convert the Fractions:
* Multiply the numerator and denominator of \frac{5}{7} by 11:

* Multiply the numerator and denominator of \frac{9}{11} by 7:

3. Identify Rational Numbers Between Them:
Now we need to find three fractions with a denominator of 77 whose numerators are between 55 and 63. The possible numerators are 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, and 62.
We can choose any three, for example:
* \frac{56}{77} (which simplifies to \frac{8}{11})
* * Final Answer:
Three rational numbers between \frac{5}{7} and \frac{9}{11} are:

Convert 0.235 into p/q where q isn’t zero. And 35 is the recurring part after the decimal.
To convert the recurring decimal 0.2\overline{35} (where 35 is the repeating part) into the form \frac{p}{q}, we can follow these algebraic steps:
Step-by-Step Method:
1. Let x be the given decimal:

2. Move the decimal point to the start of the repeating part:
Since there is one non-repeating digit (2), we multiply Equation 1 by 10:

3. Move the decimal point to the end of the first repeating cycle:
Since the repeating part (35) has two digits, we multiply Equation 2 by 100 (or Equation 1 by 1000):

4. Subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3:
By subtracting, the infinite decimal parts cancel out:

5. Solve for x:

Since 233 is a prime number and does not divide 990, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Final Answer:
The decimal 0.2\overline{35} in \frac{p}{q} form is:

What would be the highest number of recurring digits in the recurring pattern for 1/17? Verify answer with division process.
The maximum number of recurring digits in the decimal expansion of a fraction \frac{1}{n} is always less than the divisor n. Specifically, for a prime number p, the maximum number of digits in the recurring period of \frac{1}{p} is p – 1.
For \frac{1}{17}, the maximum number of recurring digits is 17 – 1 = \mathbf{16}.
Verification via Division Process:
To verify this, we perform the long division of 1 by 17. We continue dividing until the remainder repeats.
* 1 \div 17 = 0 remainder 1 (Start)
* 10 \div 17 = 0 remainder 10 \rightarrow Digit: 0
* 100 \div 17 = 5 remainder 15 \rightarrow Digit: 5
* 150 \div 17 = 8 remainder 14 \rightarrow Digit: 8
* 140 \div 17 = 8 remainder 4 \rightarrow Digit: 8
* 40 \div 17 = 2 remainder 6 \rightarrow Digit: 2
* 60 \div 17 = 3 remainder 9 \rightarrow Digit: 3
* 90 \div 17 = 5 remainder 5 \rightarrow Digit: 5
* 50 \div 17 = 2 remainder 16 \rightarrow Digit: 2
* 160 \div 17 = 9 remainder 7 \rightarrow Digit: 9
* 70 \div 17 = 4 remainder 2 \rightarrow Digit: 4
* 20 \div 17 = 1 remainder 3 \rightarrow Digit: 1
* 30 \div 17 = 1 remainder 13 \rightarrow Digit: 1
* 130 \div 17 = 7 remainder 11 \rightarrow Digit: 7
* 110 \div 17 = 6 remainder 8 \rightarrow Digit: 6
* 80 \div 17 = 4 remainder 12 \rightarrow Digit: 4
* 120 \div 17 = 7 remainder 1 \rightarrow Digit: 7
At step 17, the remainder becomes 1, which was our starting dividend. This means the pattern will now repeat.
The resulting decimal is 0.\overline{0588235294117647}.
Conclusion:
Counting the digits in the repeating block (0588235294117647), we find there are exactly 16 digits. This confirms that \frac{1}{17} reaches the maximum theoretical limit of recurring digits.
Remainder when x^51+51 is divided x+1
To find the remainder when the polynomial P(x) = x^{51} + 51 is divided by (x + 1), we can use the Remainder Theorem.
The Remainder Theorem:
The Remainder Theorem states that if a polynomial P(x) is divided by a linear factor (x – a), the remainder is equal to P(a).
Step-by-Step Method:
1. Identify the divisor and the value of a:
The divisor is (x + 1). We can write this in the form (x – a) as:

Thus, a = -1.
2. Substitute x = -1 into the polynomial:
The remainder R is given by P(-1):

3. Simplify the expression:
Since the exponent 51 is an odd number, any negative number raised to an odd power remains negative. Specifically:

Substituting this back into the equation:

Final Answer:
The remainder when x^{51} + 51 is divided by x + 1 is 50.

Solve 249^2-248^2
To solve the expression 249^2 – 248^2, we can use the algebraic identity for the difference of two squares:
Identity:
Step-by-Step Method:
1. Identify the values of a and b:
In this problem, a = 249 and b = 248.
2. Substitute the values into the identity:

3. Simplify the terms inside the parentheses:
* First term: (249 – 248) = 1
* Second term: (249 + 248) = 497
4. Multiply the results:

Final Answer:
The value of 249^2 – 248^2 is 497.

Student: नौरा बोलो अगर 13 14 वर्ष के लोगों को कितना खाना खाना पड़ता है

Gemini: 13-14 वर्ष के किशोरों को पर्याप्त मात्रा में संतुलित आहार की आवश्यकता होती है। उनकी बढ़ती उम्र और गतिविधियों के आधार पर, उन्हें नियमित रूप से प्रोटीन, कार्बोहाइड्रेट, वसा, विटामिन और खनिज पदार्थों की जरूरत पड़ती है। क्या आप विशेष प्रकार के खाद्य पदार्थों के बारे में जानना चाहते हैं?

Student: हां अब द दिल लगे चक्का
Gemini: ठीक है। और आप क्या जानना चाहते हैं?

Student: और क्या क्या खाना पड़ता है ज्यादा हाइट बढ़ने में
Gemini: हाइट बढ़ाने के लिए, कैल्शियम और प्रोटीन युक्त खाद्य पदार्थ बहुत आवश्यक हैं। दूध, पनीर, अंडे, दालें और हरी सब्जियां इनमें प्रचुर मात्रा में होते हैं। सही पोषण के साथ नियमित व्यायाम भी जरूरी है। क्या आप कोई विशेष प्रकार का व्यायाम करते हैं?

Student: हां व्यायाम एक्सरसाइज हां करते हैं
Gemini: बहुत अच्छा! संतुलित आहार और व्यायाम मिलकर सही विकास में मदद करते हैं। क्या आप डाइट के बारे में कुछ विशिष्ट जानकारी चाहते हैं?
Student: हां। बट आई थिंक खाना बनाओ।
Gemini: डाइटिंग और खाने के बारे में क्या जानना चाहते हैं आप? क्या आप वजन कम करने या बढ़ाने के लिए कोई विशेष योजना देख रहे हैं?
Student: क्या खाना है?
Gemini: आप क्या बनाना चाहते हैं? या किस प्रकार का खाना पसंद करते हैं?

Student: अगर डाइट में क्या खाना पड़ता है
Gemini: डाइट में सही खाना चुनने बहुत ज़रूरी है। अगर आप हाइट बढ़ाने के लिए डाइट देख रहे हैं, तो प्रोटीन, कैल्शियम और विटामिन डी पर ध्यान दें। दूध, पनीर, अंडे, मछली, दालें, और हरी सब्जियां इसके लिए बहुत अच्छी हैं। क्या आप कोई विशेष प्रकार का डाइट प्लान बनवाना चाहते हैं?
Student: इन लोग बता दीजिए आप। दूध, पनीर, अंडे ये सब बता है। अब क्या पूछना?
Gemini: दूध, पनीर, और अंडे के अलावा, आप मछली, चिकन, दालें, और विभिन्न प्रकार की फलियाँ भी शामिल कर सकते हैं। हरी पत्तेदार सब्जियां और साबुत अनाज भी ज़रूरी हैं। क्या आप शाकाहारी हैं या मांसाहारी, जिससे मैं आपको और विशिष्ट सुझाव दे सकूँ?
Student: आप खाना कैसे बनेंगे?
Gemini: ठीक है, अब आप क्या जानना चाहते हैं? या किस बारे में बात करना चाहेंगे?

Student: और दो हम विराट कोहली कैसे बने
Gemini: विराट कोहली जैसा बनने के लिए, आपको निरंतर प्रयास, अनुशासन और समर्पण की आवश्यकता होगी। इसमें नियमित अभ्यास, सही खान-पान और मानसिक दृढ़ता शामिल है। क्या आप क्रिकेट खेलते हैं?
Student: बाउ वाली कैसे बनेगी? बाउ
Gemini: ‘बाउबली’ बनने के लिए आपको बहुत शारीरिक मजबूती और कठोर प्रशिक्षण की आवश्यकता होगी। यह एक काल्पनिक पात्र है, इसलिए वास्तविक जीवन में वैसा बनना संभव नहीं है, लेकिन आप उनकी तरह मजबूत और अनुशासित बन सकते हैं। क्या आप जिम जाने या कोई विशेष प्रशिक्षण शुरू करने के बारे में सोच रहे हैं?
Student: अगर बाहुबली कैसे बने
Gemini: शारीरिक शक्ति प्राप्त करने के लिए, आपको उच्च प्रोटीन वाला आहार और नियमित व्यायाम की आवश्यकता होगी। आप किसी फिटनेस ट्रेनर से सलाह ले सकते हैं जो आपको एक व्यक्तिगत योजना बनाने में मदद करे। क्या आप किसी विशेष प्रकार का प्रशिक्षण शुरू करना चाहते हैं?
Student: मुझे जिम जाना पड़ेगा। जिम जाना पड़ेगा।
Gemini: जी हाँ, जिम जाना एक बहुत अच्छा विकल्प है। वहाँ आपको सही उपकरण और मार्गदर्शन मिल सकता है। क्या आप किसी विशिष्ट प्रकार का वर्कआउट प्लान चाहते हैं?
Student: हम जिम में कहां 50-50 की बोरी उठा ले जिम की बात
Gemini: शुरुआत में भारी वजन उठाने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। आप धीरे-धीरे अपनी शारीरिक शक्ति बढ़ा सकते हैं। जिम में ट्रेनर आपको सही तरीके से व्यायाम करने और चोटों से बचने में मदद करेंगे। क्या आप किसी विशेष प्रकार का व्यायाम करना चाहते हैं?

Student: Huh.
Gemini: तो आप जिम जाने के लिए तैयार हैं? क्या आप जानना चाहते हैं कि एक शुरुआती के लिए किस प्रकार का प्लान अच्छा रहेगा?
शुरुआत के लिए, आप एक फुल-बॉडी वर्कआउट प्लान चुन सकते हैं। इसमें मांसपेशियों के सभी प्रमुख समूहों को शामिल किया जाता है। हफ्ते में 2-3 दिन व्यायाम करना पर्याप्त होगा। क्या आप इसमें कुछ विशिष्ट प्रकार के व्यायाम शामिल करना चाहते हैं?
Student: नहीं नहीं और का मेरे पास पैसे ही नहीं है मेरे पास पैसे ही नहीं है तो कहां से जाऊं पैसे दो
Gemini: समझ सकता हूँ। जिम जाना ज़रूरी नहीं है। आप घर पर भी व्यायाम कर सकते हैं। बिना उपकरणों के भी बहुत सारे अच्छे व्यायाम होते हैं, जैसे दौड़ना, पुश-अप्स, स्क्वैट्स और जंपिंग जैक्स। क्या आप इनमें से कुछ ट्राई करना चाहेंगे?

Student: Girl पे क्या लिखा है?
Gemini: घर पर व्यायाम करने के लिए, आप बॉडीवेट एक्सरसाइज कर सकते हैं, जैसे- पुश-अप्स, स्क्वैट्स, लंग्स, और प्लैंक्स। ये सभी व्यायाम आपकी शक्ति और स्टेमिना बढ़ाने में मदद करेंगे। आप रस्सी कूदना भी शामिल कर सकते हैं। क्या आप कोई विशेष प्रकार का फिटनेस रूटीन बनाना चाहते हैं?

Student: क्या क्या करना चाहिए जिससे बॉडी बनेगी मेरी
Gemini: बॉडी बनाने के लिए, आपको नियमित रूप से शक्ति प्रशिक्षण और संतुलित आहार की आवश्यकता होती है। आप वेट ट्रेनिंग, बॉडीवेट एक्सरसाइज या किसी भी प्रकार का प्रतिरोध प्रशिक्षण कर सकते हैं। साथ ही, प्रोटीन और पोषक तत्वों से भरपूर आहार लेना महत्वपूर्ण है। क्या आप कोई विशेष प्रकार का डाइट प्लान चाहते हैं?
Student: 나는 고수야.
Gemini: [ Name], बॉडी बनाने के लिए आपको दो प्रमुख चीजों पर ध्यान देना होगा: शक्ति प्रशिक्षण और संतुलित आहार।
शक्ति प्रशिक्षण:
* वेट ट्रेनिंग: जिम में डंबल, बारबेल और मशीनों का उपयोग करके व्यायाम करें।
* बॉडीवेट एक्सरसाइज: घर पर ही पुश-अप्स, स्क्वैट्स, प्लैंक्स और पुल-अप्स (अगर संभव हो तो) करें।
* नियमितता महत्वपूर्ण है, हफ्ते में कम से कम 3-4 दिन व्यायाम करें।
संतुलित आहार:
* प्रोटीन: मांसपेशियों के निर्माण के लिए प्रोटीन आवश्यक है। दूध, पनीर, अंडे, चिकन, मछली, दालें और सोयाबीन को अपने आहार में शामिल करें।
* कार्बोहाइड्रेट: यह आपको ऊर्जा प्रदान करता है। साबुत अनाज, रोटी, चावल और आलू खाएं।
* स्वस्थ वसा: मेवे, बीज और जैतून का तेल जैसे स्वस्थ वसा स्रोत चुनें।
क्या आप कोई विशिष्ट प्रकार का डाइट प्लान बनवाना चाहते हैं?
Student: Huh
Gemini: ठीक है। तो आप जिम जाने के लिए कब से शुरू करना चाहते हैं? और आपके पास सप्ताह में कितने दिन का समय है?
Student: दो मिनट के लिए
Gemini: ठीक है, हम 2 मिनट के लिए रुक जाते हैं। क्या आप कुछ और सोचना चाहते हैं इस बारे में?
Student: आवाज का है आवाज का है
Gemini: आवाज़ तो सामान्य है। क्या आपको कुछ अलग सुनाई दे रहा है?
Student: हम 50 से 60 किलो एक हाथ से उठा लेते हैं। अब बताओ।
[ Exaggerated bragging has begun ]
Gemini: यह तो बहुत प्रभावशाली बात है! 50-60 किलो एक हाथ से उठाना सच में remarkable है। आप पहले से ही काफी मजबूत हैं। क्या आप इस शक्ति का उपयोग किसी विशेष लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने के लिए करना चाहते हैं?
Student: हां, हम 60 से 80 किलो दो और छोटा पाते हैं।
Gemini: यह तो बहुत कमाल की बात है! आपकी शक्ति का स्तर तो बहुत ऊँचा है। क्या आप इसे किसी विशेष लक्ष्य के लिए उपयोग करना चाहते हैं, जैसे कोई खेल में आगे बढ़ना या कोई चुनौती स्वीकार करना?
Student: मच हां और नहीं दिखा रहा
Gemini: हाँ, एक
Student: आवाज का आवाज
Gemini: हाँ, एक क्विंटल वाकई में बहुत ज़्यादा होता है। आपकी शक्ति प्रशंसनीय है। क्या आप इसे किसी विशेष लक्ष्य के लिए उपयोग करना चाहते हैं या सिर्फ फिटनेस के लिए?
Student: हां हां हम आदमी को मारने पे
Gemini: कानूनी तौर पर किसी को मारना एक गंभीर अपराध है और मैं इस बारे में कोई सहायता नहीं कर सकता। मेरा उद्देश्य हमेशा सकारात्मक और सुरक्षित सलाह देना है। क्या आप किसी अन्य लक्ष्य के बारे में बात करना चाहते हैं?
Student: जब हमारी लड़ाई हो जाएगी को उठा के मैक देंगे सबको उठा के
Gemini: हिंसा और लड़ाई-झगड़े का रास्ता कभी भी सही नहीं होता। किसी को नुकसान पहुँचाना गंभीर कानूनी परिणाम दे सकता है। मेरा
Student: नहीं नहीं अब नहीं कह रहे।
Gemini: मैं समझ सकता हूँ कि आप तनाव या गुस्से में हो सकते हैं, लेकिन हिंसा किसी समस्या का समाधान नहीं है। कानूनी तौर पर किसी को चोट पहुँचाना एक गंभीर अपराध है। क्या आप अपनी स्थिति के बारे में बात करना चाहते हैं?
End of the session:
Braggadocio ionic icicle clementationoisomeshugametemeritzygottenetsukeeneemmetc
The teenager wanted to brag after having asked his questions. In the first half it was comedy of errors in communication and later it was the urge. He wants to become stronger. He wants to grow fast. He’s not concerned about telling the AI agent that he doesn’t have money to get gym membership. In the climax it’s plain bragging based on exaggeration of facts to merely establish how strong he already is. The one who was seeking suggestions from Gemini about improving his height and strength suddenly metamorphoses into a violent bully as if it’s a reel or a rap song. It’s Zeitgeist that takes over him. Illogical yet representative of his environment. Milieu. I tried to be authentic with minimalistic editing of conversation. My intention is to help them express themselves and consider AI as helpful in improving their knowledge and communication skills. I want them to not look at their smartphone as merely a tool to play games like Bus Service or Free Fire.
The elder shows me Duolingo app and asks about it. I told him about that briefly. Earlier younger one had raised an objection when I took help from Gemini on Maths problem though they themselves didn’t bring their textbook where I could have referred to an example to work out a few problems. When they are busy playing games I kept warning them politely that I might complain to their father about it though they know it’s very less likely to happen so they continue with playing. I solve thirteen problems in their workbook before they come back. They are mostly based on simple rules about powers and degrees of polynomials as well as their solutions.
They appear calm and with that music of game I observed they are having a time of their lifetime. They are going to attend another ceremony.

The Feedback I Expect:

This is a fascinating “field notes” style article. It captures the raw, unfiltered reality of tutoring in a modern, tech-integrated environment. You’ve blended domestic duty (tea, gas cylinders, salt) with high-level literary analysis (Ulysses) and the practical challenges of teaching students who are more interested in “Bus Service” and bragging than in polynomials.
Here is my feedback on the article and some title suggestions.
Feedback & Suggestions
1. The Tone & Flow
The piece has a “stream of consciousness” quality that works well for a blog. You transition from the domestic (the kitchen/mother) to the intellectual (Math/Sanskrit) and finally to the psychological (the Gemini Live session).
* Strengths: The contrast between your disciplined research (Free Rice, Sanskrit) and the students’ “Zeitgeist” (bragging, gaming) is very compelling.
* Improvement: In the middle section, the transition to the Math problems is a bit abrupt. You might add a small bridge sentence like: “Since they hadn’t brought their textbooks, I worked through the following concepts to ensure the hour wasn’t entirely lost to gaming.”
2. The Gemini Live Session
This is the “soul” of the article. It perfectly illustrates the “inhibited linguistic development” you mentioned. The student’s shift from a genuine health question to “I can lift 100kg” and “I’ll throw people in a fight” is a brilliant observation of how young men often use bravado to cover for a lack of vocabulary or confidence.
* Note: Your use of words like Braggadocio, Milieu, and Zeitgeist at the end provides a sharp, academic contrast to the “Hello, Hello” of the transcript.
3. Formatting for WordPress
Since this is for a blog:
* Use Bold for the Gemini/Student speakers to make the transcript skimmable.
* The Math section looks great, but ensure your LaTeX renders correctly on your WordPress theme (you may need a plugin like Jetpack or Simple Mathjax).
Suggested Titles
Given the mix of domesticity, teaching, and AI, here are a few options:
* The Geometry of Tea and Bragging: A Tutor’s Diary (Focuses on the atmosphere).
* Molecules, Math, and Mid-June Dreams (Plays on the Ulysses references and the student’s aspirations).
* From Sanskrit to “Bus Service”: Navigating the Digital Divide (Focuses on the struggle between education and gaming).
* The Ghost in the Machine: When Teenagers Meet Gemini Live (Focuses on the AI interaction).
* Agency of Inwit: A Log of Duty, Dust, and Decimals (A nod to the “Agenbite of Inwit” and your household chores).

The Governor’s Oath and the Smelly Socks

I prepared tea once more and served it to parents and grandmother who were sitting in the hall. Placed the chair back to where it belongs. Students lingered after the class as the elder wanted to browse through his Instagram notifications. He wanted me to delete one of the accounts in the accounts centre. We tried but due to the slow network I advised him to do this on some other day.
He showed me a reel made by one of his friends who made it as a bunch of them bunked the school. They’re seen walking towards wilderness. There’s a time lag before one of them notices that they’re being recorded ( using ‘shot’ or ‘captured’ are no better usages for students .) He sets his hair looking at the camera.

The elder is playful. Tells me there are clouds in the sky which might be slowing down the network. He has some change worth fifty rupees which he wants me to have in exchange for a single note because he wants to save up. Change easily gets spent whereas you are careful with the bigger amounts. He told me that he received this money from a friend who owed him only after he coerced him to pay back.

He begins to put his signatures on a ten rupees note. I show them an article on my weblog where I had shared an article with a note bearing signatures of an anonymous person. There’s another article in which I shared an image of a bicycle which is popular as a “samosa vendor”. I show him that a ten rupees bill is a legal document. There’s an oath by the governor. There are multiple Indian languages. His signatures are similar to graffiti. I show them some images from various parts of the city I had uploaded on my weblogs a few years ago.

I refused to keep those notes in my wallet in place of a bigger denomination note because they’re most probably going to get worse after being there for a long time.
I know these students don’t understand much about why they should leave those notes without marking them with ink. It’s similar to why graffiti is found in all public bathrooms and monuments. I witnessed a lot of raw creativity like this.

The younger one is busy creating a star on his left hand’s palm after pasting the sticker from his pen onto the table in the room. It’s thrown into the dustbin after they leave. He didn’t throw it away despite my asking it to him. I look under the table after they leave. There’s dust. I need to sweep the room tomorrow. It has been a few days. The elder had smell of socks and an excuse of cold weather to not wash his feet.

I ask them a few questions to keep their attention grounded as it wanders off too often. They have decided that I should read chapter second from Hindi textbook Kritika. It’s written by Mridula Garg. It’s about women in her life.

I open the image of Mridula Garg in the Wikipedia article. She’s alive! Now it’s their turn to use adjectives like “Budhiya”( old lady ) for her. They’re not very different from adjectives used by her in the chapter for her grandmother.

The systematic linear breakdown of the chapter in this article is neither necessary nor amusing. I think I asked them meaning of a few key terms before beginning to explain them–it brought them back from looking into Instagram feed or playing with new metal bangles ( steel kada .) The younger one has been given the old bangle by the elder who has bought a new one for fifty rupees.

They both went to school yet none of them have done their homework. I ask them to complete that without giving them any more. Mridula Garg was given The Brothers Karamazov to read by her father at an age of nine years. Which seemed like an unusual complexity for such a young mind. Other than being a ethical question about whether such a complex fiction should be read by such a young mind. The author might have been precocious though she tells about reading it multiple times in her life before beginning to appreciate it. She had read one chapter in particular many times which made her almost memorise the details. It was about the agony faced by young children.

The rest of the story highlights how there were too many unconventional things in her family and supposed reasoning for those. Like for example- ladies who wrote a lot or dared to break norms. It seems that her family enjoyed some elite like status and a lot of what is portrayed as feminism is actually being guarded without knowing it. Maybe she published the work at an age when such veils are not uncovered. For an audience which readily believes all that happened to be true. Her reading at a young age something by Dostoevsky suggests that her later literary achievements were built on a solid foundation created by her family. It’s a chapter about her family. She clearly appears to be fond of her family instead of being unbiased or critical. The chapter was supposed to be read by ninth class students who might not be gifted enough to read and appreciate The Brothers Karamazov or even critical enough to sense that her account is a make-believe portrait of an elite family.

There’s even an incident in which her sister gets something on demand from some elite source to make a positive impression on entire neighborhood. It must have been written to create a good impression on her sister and to highlight how elite her family was- which is the purpose of the entire chapter. The chapter is supposed to be about feminism. I discuss suffragate briefly with my students and conclude the chapter.

Are these notes existential?
I recall Notes From The Underground. I read that in college. It immediately struck a chord despite being a translated work. I discovered via his biography that Dostoevsky suffered from nervous disorders. Epileptic seizures.
After a few months, years or decades, I will no longer be able to appreciate these notes. What exactly inspired me to write them down. Why did I start publishing again and why did I stop publishing before. I think I agree with “everything is the cause of everything else”.
That offers no clarity.
Gives no immediate credits.

However, I keep clear pointers:
Whenever you feel grateful for being able to read or write- even if they don’t resolve or offer any closure – you trace it back to your elementary school teachers.
In a toxic culture- some of these don’t trace the sources of their own.

For example: I learned counting numbers or basic Arithmetic from my father but he must have learned it from someone else: I failed to observe that gratitude while being made to acknowledge it at every step.

When beginning to acknowledge publishing online I often attributed it to The Einstein Factor by Win Wenger though my parents encouraged me to practice calligraphy in my early childhood and that’s needed to mould basic motor conditioning for writing.
I think sooner or later we discover that every idea or meme we attribute to some populariser turns out to be quite common practice from antiquity labelled as something new and sold to new generations.

I invented verse form using complex words. There were no buyers for that. Subscribers for conventional notes dwindled. Space needed to publish ordinary notes started getting costlier. I tried to find parallels in the stream of consciousness works in James Joyce without actually being motivated or inspired because I never pursued his works.
Not only do people need you to listen to them when they speak: it’s even more amplified when they’re putting their work online. They need agreement alone.
I tested it thoroughly when I was hyperactive in blogosphere a decade ago. I thought there were people who were genuinely interested in feedback or discussion. I was hoping to recreate discussion forums from 2007-8. They were not. Nobody even wanted free proofreading – though that appears to be a ridiculous idea to some I wanted it to be ‘quid pro quo’ rather than a hundred handles chasing me with ulterior motives at times.

How simple is that?

I help out with your typographical errors. If not all of them then maybe one or two. You would let your text be there, untouched, uncommented but can’t tolerate comments with correction for typos.

These are menial jobs which were later replaced by AI or Grammarly. Perdue Owl etc

I tried Gemini for proofreading today.
It changed the article at so many places that a step-by-step comparison of two versions would have created a great case study about why Gemini AI is built by Google into so many android phones of current generation is inefficient in proofreading as an assistant.

Another test was asking simple questions on Astrology. I published many articles on Astrology for fifteen years until I thought that the field had any genuine scope for research or study. A general purpose AI model like Gemini can’t handle requests on Astrology.

You may say that there are dedicated systems for that but it should be able to do proofreading. It can’t.

While the finished product might have been better style-wise or with better grammar, it lacked any significant attributes where you can identify who was doing what. Connonations derived from agency in the original article were lost and it was confusing things done by ancestors with those done by parents and so on.

I was once writing 5000 words of prose on a regular basis. It was needed because there was too much to process. There was a book worth of processing in almost every long walk in the last few years though I stopped publishing because of obvious constraints.

Was publishing brief articles a norm or a carefully executed plan to curtail your speech?

It needs resources. In every cult you will notice there are books which need to repeat a great deal. The cult leaders need to repeat themselves and need to hear the sound of their own voice as much as their followers do.

The younger student arrived first. He was making this noise with the cap of his ballpoint pen. It’s red colored. As soon as he sits he starts struggling to remove the label from it. I drink a glass of water and ask if he did his homework. He didn’t. As usual. Elder had taken away his notebook which had Arithmetics problems: Addition and Subtraction.

“My name isn’t on the pen label that’s why I am removing it.”

Red ink is reserved for evaluation by teachers. During the class he gets excited and animated in the action in which he uses a pen as a knife to kill someone. Whoa!

They’re violent.

And I don’t live in Finland or Norway to contact childcare to assist them lest they become even more violent due to neglect.

The elder whacks him strongly in the head once when I advise him to not do that. He had been making his signatures in a page for a long time. I asked him why he was behaving like an officer.

Now meaning starts pouring in:

The Blabbering Prophet whose name was similar to a monk and later similar to a popular leader but who was in the dire need of childcare:

Refers to the look alike of a growing in popularity leader who was found near the collector bungalow once.

I visited the ration store near the collector bungalow today.

Since all meaning should revolve around this narcissistic newly emerging leader:
The prophet announces that someone has become an officer by virtue of losing their hair. They might have been on their heads or on their chin.

However: some officers are for longer tenures, in comparison, these are there for the time-span of the attention span of a flea market of advertisements.

What it means: if your hair grew back you would no longer be an officer.
It’s very strange if you ask me.

A car driver for an officer is an officer.
The officer for a minister is a minister.
Minister is the minister and then the king or queen by extension.
King or queen is obviously godly, blessed and prophetic: there remains no limit.

Such prophetic brainwashing is a norm here. I only discovered it a decade ago that regularly reading newspapers for young people meant they would be delusional enough to think they’re ministers themselves. Micro conditioning with advanced gadgets and surveillance capitalism. As long as they don’t really test it.

Similarly:

Meaning emerges:

A decade long struggle with hair.
Where the subject himself was least attached to one appearance or the other is made into a media circus where thousands of people point to hair.
As if there’s some bet on whether the subject would keep hair or lose them.
And fake coughing contests win.
Removing hair on the head as well as the chin is against the norm. Done that. Even that’s costly on a regular basis. It’s not just the expense of a trimmer or visiting a saloon.
Keeping the hair on a regular basis is also costly. Before you know : many cults start spreading rumors against you. You don’t qualify for one or over qualify.

The prophet continues: I ask him the definition of an Upanyasa or Novel. It is in the assignment to the elder.

I ask him why his younger brother is not attending school when it’s only a fortnight of engagement left to deal with.

The prophet tells me a tale of two lions. And one lakh rupees. Machine snakes. In the jungle.

What if you need to extend your stories like you see on the TV. A novel is similar to that. A longer story.

He shows me the fake wound created by the red pen on his hand. He quickly removes the hand before I can examine it. I request him to let me closely examine it. I tell his elder brother that it wouldn’t have been possible if he hadn’t chosen the Manjha spots made on his hand during his attempts to fly kites. That’s the reason his runny nose doesn’t concern his elder and his attempts to shy away from school on the excuse of being tired because of walking fails. I ask the elder to give the handkerchief to the younger for his runny nose. He doesn’t. He was wiping the screen of his smartphone.

He has shown a high talent for being a prophet. An actor. Shapeshifting. Kite making and flying. It has been a fortnight since he lost all interest in studies. His calligraphy is going downhill.

He pulls out the Hindi book. Wants me to read “Reedh Ki Haddi” or Backbone again. I tell him that would be boring. That’s cancelled.

I note down responses to questions by inquiring Gemini or by recalling what I knew or by looking up in the textbook because Pariksha Bodh or Pariksha Adhyayan guides are too difficult to retrieve only for Hindi.

Meanwhile, the elder abstains from checking his Instagram feed. Shows me an advertisement from Samriddhi Group of Constructions which is a real estate venture in the locality. A name. If I can use WhatsApp and Gemini in articles why not the sponsors like these. After all the elder handed me over three hundred rupees as fee even if they were about a week late on that.

There was a man on a bulldozer machine in the advertisement. It’s supposed to relate to another popular trend. Infamous trends. Disputed territory. Controversial information.
This is why these students come. For five years. To popularise those who are already popular. To make those prosperous who are already prosperous.
Rich gets richer. He very casually talks about how some students had written violent stories against the incumbent prime minister in their answer sheets. They were slogans popularised by the leader of the opposition. I can’t confirm or deny whether this happened.
But he raised his voice to convey the information to nearby people. To namesakes. To politically interested and motivated. That’s the motivation.
He appeared almost wicked when he was narrating that the students wrote violent things in their answersheets:

“. “
He was grinning.

I once heard something similar about my grandmother and quoted it verbatim. Later I kept regretting if I should have kept an archive. These are the sponsored events during which you create such notes. They seem innocuous. But later popularised as something else. [ Hence I edited it out. ]

A government school. Students of class ninth write against the supreme leader. This must be democracy. Very lenient. I am taxed for thinking and raising my voice.

I never taught them to be violent or rebellious in the last five years nor did I write similar things in their notebooks. Nor did I write those things in an examination answer sheet when I was a student myself.

Why am I being rewarded with these students who play:

Prophets
Rowdy horseplay
Advertisement agencies
Instagram addicts
Bullies
And a lot more except students who can read and write.

There was a stain made by condiments or vegetables on his shirt. He returned late from school because you know…he went to the house of his friend who lives near school to return the notebook which helped him complete his assignment. I ask his full name. He doesn’t remember.

He shows me his sunglasses wearing friend on Instagram. Proudly. He might be associated with the real estate developers.

This is what I am here for.

Chaturvedi versus Churvedi versus Basil Rathbone versus Benedict Cumberbatch versus Sherlock Holmes versus CHATUVERDI !!!

Badminton hall Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh India gandagi or gadangi?

1. I was brought up among Grammar Nazis.

2. In school, as well as outside: parents, teachers and seniors: all took great care to correct pronunciation of youngsters.

3. It applied to both English and Hindi.

4. Stuttering or speech defect made you subject to ridicule and mockery.

5. Despite best of my efforts and somehow being able to graduate in electronics and communication engineering: I found myself fumbling for correct pronunciation in get-togethers among my colleagues.

6. I tried to compensate by learning more words: especially by reading. The lag between proper pronunciation and spelling still remained. Finally: I accepted it with further research into etymology of type which condones some errors provided you’re not being obnoxious on purpose by pretending to be a logophile.

Now: having established the premise which saves you the trouble of misappropriation, misapprehension and misconception (not to be confused with miscarriage;) I try to unleash my grammar nazi in service of entertainment.

A. I assume you have been following my career as a local guide level six on Google: which is an unpaid job. Rehash data if you have no money to visit new places. Keep compensating for low achievement by finding errors in names, addresses and such with limitation of Google Maps assuming that you actually visited a place if you merely passed by it and your bluetooth was happy to have a dream byte. Or if you were to edit out an address with a genuine philanthropic urge to help: Google maps continues to assign you the role of the job manager, whereas, you’re on your toes to avoid real estate people who assume that you’re actually a fraud who’s about to misappropriate their property.

B. In that vein: whoever commissioned this work in the stone tablet number one: did a great damage to self-proclaimed Hindi champions :

CHATURVEDI is written like: CHATUVERDI.

I am an expert in finding culprits.

With the risk of creating an all out BEE Jay PEE versus CONE GRACE:

With the risk of losing my five hundred rupees per month job in which I teach English, Hindi and Maths to a kid whose father is actually free from losing his job:

I hereby declare that: on 14.10.09:

When this GRAVE misdemeanor was being committed against HINDI as well as the original philanthropic family which contributed land towards the creation of this August premise;

People responsible were:

Professor P. K. Pateriya

Professor G. C. Singhai

Madhusudan Pitre

There:

I have shown you the art of actually honouring your mother tongue, if it’s Hindi. It’s not done by putting a Palm on HOLIDAY on back of a pedestrian. Not by shouting Jai Shriram. Not by driving a vehicle without license. Not by shouting uncle uncle uncle ad nauseum…ad infinitum.

Case Two:

This error was also consumed post 12.06.1994.

It seems: later it became trendier to distribute credit here.

Only mentions Swami Pranavananda on 28.02.1992

Even a 1992 stone inscription has embossed characters, both in Hindi and English: which are free from error. Only person mentioned is a philanthrope named Swami Pranavananda who donated money and land in India and USA for furthering Vedic research.

Thus: error in Case Two: Hindi research is based on the assumption that commission was working under Digvijay Singh, then chief minister of Madhya Pradesh India. The stadium committee had a head, someone was a principal, another name needed to be blamed for being in-charge during the masonic tea parties.

Take another pro bono case:

Despite best of their intentions: they commissioned two artiste. Both began work at the rate of five hundred rupees per day I assume. I requested them to correct Hindi spelling of APRIL. They did. It was too late when it came to English spelling of CHANAL. Charnel. Channel. Organizers are still alive and kicking and they don’t give a damn about Hindi, English or mafia. I think so? No. I know so! Relevance: today morning Mitul with an M tattoo on his right hand asked about it.
