Ginger Tea and Gemini: Lessons in Height, Math, and Machine Bugs


The ginger tea was used by my father, therefore, I decided to make it for myself after students left. I used less than half a glass of water and half a teaspoonful of tea leaves, half a teaspoonful of ginger with about two and half teaspoonfuls of sugar which I increased to three and a half after adding about three fourths of a glass of milk. My motivation to let the tea brew qualitatively depends on whether it’s just for myself or it’s a community project. It’s a result of prolonged condemnation of living comfortably no matter how much you deserve it. Don’t be selfish. No matter how unselfish you’re you’re always selfish. No matter how much you speak you speak too much. No matter how much you eat you eat too much. Then, you learn more golden than golden principles. You may call them platinum or diamond or by any other name. There are a plethora of quotations on the importance of sacrifice, Yajna and community living to support it. Others before yourself even if they don’t reciprocate or hold similarly high standards in their behaviour.

देखिये, 13 साल की उम्र में ऊँचाई बढ़ना एक सामान्य प्रक्रिया है। आनुवंशिकता (Genetics) तो एक मुख्य कारण है, लेकिन कुछ चीज़ों पर ध्यान देकर हम इसमें मदद कर सकते हैं। जैसे:
* संतुलित आहार: सही पोषण, खासकर कैल्शियम और प्रोटीन, हड्डियों के विकास के लिए बहुत ज़रूरी है।
* नियमित व्यायाम: स्ट्रेचिंग, कूदना और दौड़ने जैसे व्यायाम ऊँचाई बढ़ाने में सहायक हो सकते हैं।
* पर्याप्त नींद: ग्रोथ हार्मोन नींद के दौरान ही सबसे ज्यादा स्रावित होता है।
That’s a snippet of a brief Live session with Gemini in which my student was trying to speak with Gemini AI, in Hindi. The eloquent and efficient communication seemed as if it was a real person well-versed in Hindi though connectivity was problematic. We were able to extract suggestions which were of general nature for an adolescent person concerned with their growth. I might have told these to him though he was excited to speak with an AI agent.
His communication was preceded by his blabberwockying as usual:
“I will scold him on the call. Is that going to create a repercussion for me?”
They went into detail about how they used an AI to threaten a friend. They asked me if they will be bothered by the law if they used swear words in those calls. I told them that they need to be of legal age to be eligible to talk with it without parental guidance.
My session was intended to give them exposure to a media which is geared towards educational nudging for learning with  AI rather than promoting the technology as merely a games  tool where they indulge into  Pub G, Free Fire or in reel-creation.
We worked on establishing a connection. Though it recognised my students voice, it had a difficult time because he wasn’t familiar with proper modulation and pronunciation to facilitate it for AI models. In one instance the AI greeted me back with “Ola!” Though my student wasn’t using Spanish but Hindi.
It began when I told them how the Gemini text-to-speech engine was bugged. The bugs were too many to recount too. Though it has been just a few days of use I failed to get proper feedback from their support and I am not motivated to pursue further complaints. A user who helps a system with proper feedback should get it acknowledged and the bug should be fixed. Being a software professional I know it’s not rocket science. What I get instead : further bugs. The first few haven’t been fixed and new ones are introduced.
Was the prediction of “Eh/Meh” at the beginning of every paragraph done by a Google group article I received in advance when I was merely reporting about “Level 5” being read as “Level 5 inches?” I can’t be sure.
It sure made them laugh. I asked them to observe this error. They listened keenly as we were getting responses to our Maths queries. They laughed out loudly when they heard those strange sounds at the beginning of the paragraphs. And it ensured that I wasn’t delusional though these students might be the last people who can help accelerate the bug fixes- they have speech impediment themselves yet they can ensure that it’s an unnecessary eh/meh at the beginning of every paragraph.
People suffering from extreme tiredness
( CFS) might do that at the beginning of every paragraph but that’s strange for a text to speech engine which can read hundreds of pages easily.
A dog is barking outside. Bells ringing in the worship room. I visit washroom once again before this article is completed. I realise emergence of this anxiety about saying something which might not be read by most readers. What if it’s not read by anyone? At least it will survive as an archive to which you can later return to. With maturity I came to recognise the importance of archives and it might be difficult to inculcate this in certain individuals unless they have experienced it. Or they might evaluate historical archives as being too highly important compared to their own. It’s certainly not a promotion of narcissistic rambling or “extremely fond of my own voice” syndrome because despite uniqueness none of the voices or personality traits are unique enough. This doesn’t mean they don’t have a purpose at all. That’s going into nihilism and losing patience. Extreme opposite. The other one is not listening any other voice at all. Being too fond of our own voices. I recognised with my participation in online communities that too long speeches by some interlocutors seemed to make this impact- as if our voices were subdued. It can be true only for superfluous reasons for brief periods. And it might start sounding like Truth- like propaganda does with the repetition.

Gemini: Session 2 as given above.



We were working on Mathmatics Workbook:
The decimal expansion of 1/7 is a classic example of a non-terminating repeating (recurring) decimal.
Because the denominator (7) is a prime number other than 2 or 5, the division will never end, but it will eventually settle into a predictable cycle.
The Expansion
The value of 1/7 is:

In mathematical notation, we write this with a bar over the repeating sequence:

Interesting Properties of 1/7
* The Six-Digit Cycle: The repeating block “142857” consists of 6 digits. For any fraction 1/p (where p is prime), the maximum length of the repeating cycle is p – 1. For 1/7, 7 – 1 = 6.
* Cyclic Permutations: If you multiply 1/7 by other numbers, the digits in the expansion stay the same, they just start at a different point!
   *    *    * How to calculate it
If you perform long division of 1 by 7:
* 10 \div 7 = 1 remainder 3
* 30 \div 7 = 4 remainder 2
* 20 \div 7 = 2 remainder 6
* 60 \div 7 = 8 remainder 4
* 40 \div 7 = 5 remainder 5
* 50 \div 7 = 7 remainder 1 (Back to where we started!)
Once the remainder repeats (1), the entire sequence of digits starts over.
Are all Natural Numbers also Whole Numbers?

हाँ, सभी प्राकृतिक संख्याएँ (Natural Numbers) पूर्ण संख्याएँ (Whole Numbers) होती हैं।
इसे समझने का सबसे आसान तरीका यह है कि हम इन दोनों समूहों की परिभाषा देखें:
* प्राकृतिक संख्याएँ (Natural Numbers): ये गिनती वाली संख्याएँ होती हैं जो 1 से शुरू होती हैं।
   * सेट: \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …\}
* पूर्ण संख्याएँ (Whole Numbers): इनमें सभी प्राकृतिक संख्याएँ शामिल होती हैं, बस 0 (शून्य) और जुड़ जाता है।
   * सेट: \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …\}
मुख्य अंतर (Key Points)
* समानता: आप देख सकते हैं कि 1, 2, 3… दोनों समूहों में मौजूद हैं।
* अंतर: केवल 0 एक ऐसी पूर्ण संख्या है जो प्राकृतिक संख्या नहीं है।
* निष्कर्ष: हर वो नंबर जिसे आप प्राकृतिक संख्या कहेंगे, वह अपने आप पूर्ण संख्या भी कहलाएगी। लेकिन इसका उल्टा (Reverse) हमेशा सच नहीं होता (क्योंकि 0 पूर्ण है पर प्राकृतिक नहीं)।

क्या आप “पूर्णांक” (Integers) और इन संख्याओं के बीच का संबंध समझना चाहेंगे?
Are all rational numbers integers?
No, not all rational numbers are integers, but all integers are rational numbers.
Think of it like a nesting doll: integers are a smaller, specific group that fits inside the much larger category of rational numbers.
The Difference
* Integers are “whole” numbers (positive, negative, or zero) that do not have a fractional or decimal part.
   * Examples: -3, 0, 15, 100.
* Rational Numbers are a broader category. They include anything that can be written as a fraction \frac{p}{q}.
   * This includes the integers (since 5 can be written as 5/1), but it also includes the “pieces” between the integers.
Examples of Non-Integer Rational Numbers
The following are rational numbers, but they are not integers:
* Fractions: \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{22}{7}
* Terminating Decimals: 0.25, -1.5, 3.125
* Repeating Decimals: 0.333…, 0.1818…
Summary Table
| Number | Is it Rational? | Is it an Integer? | Why? |
|—|—|—|—|
| 5 | Yes | Yes | It’s a whole number and can be 5/1. |
| -10 | Yes | Yes | It’s a whole negative number and can be -10/1. |
| 0.5 | Yes | No | It has a decimal part; it’s between 0 and 1. |
| 3/4 | Yes | No | It represents a part of a whole, not a whole. |
Are all rational numbers also perfect numbers?
No, they are definitely not the same thing! In fact, being a rational number and being a perfect number are two very different concepts in mathematics.
The short answer is: Almost no rational numbers are perfect numbers.
1. What is a Rational Number?
As we’ve discussed, a rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction \frac{p}{q}. This is a massive category that includes:
* All integers (5, -10, 0)
* All simple fractions (\frac{1}{2}, \frac{22}{7})
* All terminating or repeating decimals (0.5, 0.\bar{3})
2. What is a Perfect Number?
A perfect number is a very rare and specific type of positive integer.
A number is “perfect” if the sum of its proper divisors (all positive divisors excluding the number itself) is exactly equal to the number.
Example: The number 6
* Divisors of 6: 1, 2, 3 (we exclude 6).
* Sum: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
* Therefore, 6 is a perfect number.
Example: The number 28
* Divisors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14.
* Sum: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.
* Therefore, 28 is a perfect number.
Why the answer is “No”
* Decimals/Fractions: A rational number like 0.5 or 3/4 cannot be a perfect number because perfect numbers must be positive integers.
* Rarity: Even among integers, perfect numbers are incredibly rare. We only know of about 51 of them in total! Most integers (like 4, 10, or 100) are not perfect.
Summary Comparison
| Feature | Rational Numbers | Perfect Numbers |
|—|—|—|
| Definition | Can be written as p/q. | Sum of proper divisors equals the number. |
| Scope | Infinite and dense. | Extremely rare positive integers. |
| Examples | 1/2, 5, 0.22, 22/7 | 6, 28, 496, 8128 |
Query: 22/7 gives 3.142… whereas π is 3.14159… why?
This is a common point of confusion! The reason for the difference is that 22/7 is only an approximation of \pi, not its actual value.
In fact, 22/7 is a rational number, while \pi is irrational. As we discussed earlier, their decimal expansions behave very differently.
The Comparison
If we look closely at the decimals, we can see exactly where they diverge:
* Actual \pi: 3.14159265… (Non-terminating, non-repeating)
* 22/7 Value: 3.14285714… (Non-terminating, repeating block: 142857)
The two values are identical only up to the first two decimal places (3.14). By the third decimal place, 22/7 (which is 3.142…) is already slightly larger than \pi (which is 3.141…).
Why do we use 22/7 then?
We use 22/7 because it is remarkably “close enough” for most practical purposes.
* Accuracy: 22/7 is accurate to within 0.04% of the true value of \pi. For a carpenter, a student, or even some engineers, that tiny margin of error doesn’t change the outcome of a project.
* Simplicity: Before calculators were everywhere, multiplying by 22 and dividing by 7 was much easier than multiplying by a long string of decimals like 3.14159.
* Archimedes’ Discovery: The ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes found that \pi sits between 223/71 and 22/7. Over time, 22/7 became the popular “shortcut” fraction.
Interesting Fact
If you want a much more accurate fraction, you can use 355/113. It matches \pi all the way to six decimal places (3.141592…).
What about the decimal expansion of irrational numbers?
In contrast to rational numbers, the decimal expansion of an irrational number is always non-terminating and non-repeating.
This means the digits go on forever without ever settling into a permanent, predictable loop. Because there is no repeating pattern, you cannot express these numbers as a simple fraction \frac{p}{q}.
Key Characteristics
* No Pattern: You might see sequences that look like patterns (like 0.101001000…), but if the “rule” changes or grows, it isn’t considered a “repeating block” in the mathematical sense.
* Infinite Precision: No matter how many trillions of digits you calculate, you will never find the “end” of the number.
* Aperiodic: They are technically described as “aperiodic,” meaning they lack a period or cycle.
Famous Examples
* Pi (\pi): Used in circles. It begins 3.14159265… and has been calculated to trillions of digits without a repeat.
* Euler’s Number (e): The base of natural logarithms. It begins 2.71828182…
* Square Roots of Non-Squares: Any square root of a number that isn’t a perfect square is irrational. For example, \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41421356…
Comparing the “Big Three” Expansions
| Number Type | Terminating? | Repeating? | Example |
|—|—|—|—|
| Rational (Terminating) | Yes | No | 1/4 = 0.25 |
| Rational (Repeating) | No | Yes | 1/3 = 0.333… |
| Irrational | No | No | \sqrt{2} = 1.414… |
Expansion of a rational number is?
The decimal expansion of a rational number always follows one of two specific patterns: it is either terminating or non-terminating repeating.
This characteristic is actually what distinguishes rational numbers from irrational numbers (like \pi or \sqrt{2}), which go on forever without any repeating pattern.
1. Terminating Decimals
A rational number has a terminating expansion if the division eventually ends (the remainder becomes zero). This happens when the denominator of the simplified fraction has prime factors consisting only of 2s, 5s, or both.
* Example: \frac{3}{4} = 0.75
* Example: \frac{1}{8} = 0.125
2. Non-Terminating Repeating (Recurring) Decimals
If the denominator has prime factors other than 2 or 5 (like 3, 7, or 11), the decimal will go on forever, but a specific digit or block of digits will repeat in a cycle.
* Example: \frac{1}{3} = 0.333… (written as 0.\bar{3})
* Example: \frac{1}{7} = 0.142857142857… (written as 0.\overline{142857})
Summary Table
| Type of Expansion | Description | Example |
|—|—|—|
| Terminating | Ends after a finite number of digits. | 1/5 = 0.2 |
| Repeating | Never ends, but digits repeat in a pattern. | 2/11 = 0.1818… |
| Non-Repeating | Never ends and has no pattern (Irrational). | \pi \approx 3.14159… |
The number of rational numbers between two rational numbers is?
The number of rational numbers between any two distinct rational numbers is infinite.
This is due to the Density Property of rational numbers. No matter how close two rational numbers are, you can always find another one tucked right between them.
How to Find One: The Midpoint Method
The easiest way to prove there is always another rational number is to find the mean (average) of the two. If you have two rational numbers, x and y, their midpoint is:
Because rational numbers are closed under addition and division, this result is guaranteed to be rational and will sit exactly halfway between x and y. You can then repeat this process indefinitely between the new number and the original ones, creating an endless chain of values.
Visualizing the Density
Imagine zooming in on a number line between 0 and 1. Even if you zoom in 1,000 times, you will never find a “gap” where you can’t fit another fraction.
Key Points to Remember
* Infinite Density: Between 0.1 and 0.11, there are infinitely many numbers (like 0.101, 0.1011, 0.10111…).
* Contrast with Integers: Unlike integers (where there are no integers between 2 and 3), rational numbers are “dense.”
* Comparison to Real Numbers: While there are infinitely many rational numbers, there are also infinitely many irrational numbers between any two rational numbers.

Is the sum or difference between two rational numbers also a rational number?

Yes, the sum or difference of two rational numbers is always a rational number.
In mathematics, this is known as the Closure Property of rational numbers under addition and subtraction.
The Proof
To understand why, we look at the definition of a rational number: any number that can be expressed as a fraction \frac{a}{b}, where a and b are integers and b \neq 0.
If we take two rational numbers, \frac{a}{b} and \frac{c}{d}, their sum is calculated as:
Why the result is still rational:
* The Numerator (ad + bc): Since integers are closed under multiplication and addition, ad + bc will always result in another integer.
* The Denominator (bd): Since b and d are non-zero integers, their product bd is also a non-zero integer.
Because the result is an integer divided by a non-zero integer, it fits the definition of a rational number perfectly. The same logic applies to subtraction, just with a minus sign.
Quick Examples
* Addition: \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6} (Rational)
* Subtraction: 0.5 – 2 = -1.5 (Rational, as it can be written as -\frac{3}{2})

The Scientist Brain and the Mafia Don


The call is picked up by the younger brother. Who responds:
“We’re coming.”
“How long will it take, I asked.”
“We’re coming.”
They came after a while. It already seemed late when I called them up. They reminded me that their school has been rescheduled to afternoon and hence they return very late. I had forgotten.
I had served tea to my mother though she didn’t take it. I warmed it up after students left. Added some milk into it as she had asked. Some ginger as well. I had it myself after having replaced the chair into the verandah. It’s getting white stains deposited by water because it stays near the wash basin and water sprinkled on it contains calcium.
There are cobwebs on hats which are waiting inside racks. There are cobwebs waiting to be removed. The footwear outside the room has dust on them.
I had a bath. Washed a few clothes. The maid, who was employed here earlier is the mother of the last employed maid and she always comes late in the afternoon. You have to wait before you can pasteurise milk or organise utensils properly in the kitchen for other purposes.
The younger student is busy drawing a crown like shape on his left hand with the blue ink pen he has recently bought. I hear bells ringing in the nearby worship room though the singing voice doesn’t reach me which is a relief.
The younger student advertised his pen with keen interest . It appears to be wooden. He claims:
“This is a pen made with wood.”

Woodenmarksmanshiphoperandampersand


Then he asks me to read out the letters from the sticker on the pen. The C is printed like D. It’s neither a C nor a D. I recognise the brand of pens. The stylish first letter is shaped like a D but the vertical line is missing in the first letter. It just has the curve. After the promotion is over and the plastic is established to be plastic, not wood, he gets back to the business of sketching the crown with feathers on his left hand. His signatures are on it.
He’s quite young for being eligible for a personality assessment. He spends a lot of time making his signatures on the paper. He admits:
“I am not getting proper signature.”

Singatureutersevereverseverallyinglenookrasesamestreet


This interrupts my flow of reading. I was reading the chapter fourth from Science. Rutherford’s model:


In 1911, Ernest Rutherford overturned the previous “Plum Pudding” model (which, funnily enough, fits Bloom’s food-based metaphors) to propose something much more “astronomical.”
The Gold Foil Experiment
Rutherford fired positively charged alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil.
* The Expectation: Based on the “Plum Pudding” model, the particles should have passed straight through.
* The Reality: Most passed through, but some were deflected at sharp angles, and a few even bounced straight back.
* Rutherford’s Reaction: He famously said it was “as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.”
Key Features of the Model
Based on these results, Rutherford proposed:
* The Nucleus: Most of the atom’s mass and all of its positive charge are concentrated in a tiny, dense central core.
* Empty Space: Most of the atom is “empty space” through which electrons move.
* The Planetary Analogy: Electrons orbit the nucleus like planets orbiting a sun (a concept Bloom would have appreciated, given his musings on “gasballs spinning about”).
Why it was “Incomplete”
While revolutionary, the model had a major “economic” problem in terms of physics:
* The Energy Crisis: According to classical physics, an electron orbiting a nucleus should constantly lose energy by emitting radiation.
* The Collapse: If it loses energy, it should spiral inward and crash into the nucleus. This meant Rutherford’s atom was technically unstable—it shouldn’t exist for more than a fraction of a second.
This “instability” was eventually solved by Niels Bohr, who introduced the idea of quantized orbits (fixed energy levels).

I recommend him to just write his name. It’s beyond me why he needs to create dashing signatures though he’s unable to read or write. He can copy. He has seen others making signatures. This makes him create his own. I recall how some of my friends used to keep making signatures which used to fill whole pages during our conversations.
He takes my advice. He writes his name and then  surname. I am reading it upside down. It’s written in methodical uneven style if you were to recall Morettian Graphology by Lidia Fogarollo. The first two letters are larger than the rest. Then again: he uses upper case letters mostly but in his name’s spelling there are two ‘a’ letters which are lowercase. I tell this to him. It’s irrelevant.
He shows me the completed drawing.
Reads it as:
“….mafia don.”

Zeitgeistarattamarinderpestuaryennoblendinglenookramptonnagemmatrialsomeshugasconademantoidiomatictactoeuvrevueuropeanemone


Zeitgeist or peculiarly narcissistic personality?
Or both?
He’s into drawing today. He shows me a box drawn with green ink. He calls it DJ:
In music, DJ stands for Disc Jockey. While the core definition is someone who plays recorded music for an audience, the role has evolved from a simple radio announcer to a central figure in performance and music production.
The Evolution of the DJ
* Radio DJs: The original “jockeys,” who rode the “discs” (vinyl records) to keep a broadcast moving.
* Club/Mobile DJs: Focus on selecting and “mixing” tracks to maintain the energy of a dance floor.
* Turntablists: Use the turntable as a musical instrument, utilizing techniques like scratching, beat juggling, and cutting.
* Producer-DJs: Musicians who create their own electronic tracks and perform them live, often the focal point of festivals (e.g., EDM or Techno artists).
Key Techniques and Tools
To keep the music seamless, DJs use specific techniques and hardware:
* Beatmatching: Adjusting the speed (BPM) of two different songs so their beats align perfectly, allowing for a smooth transition without the “clashing” of rhythms.
* Crossfading: Using a fader on a mixer to gradually fade out one song while fading in another.
* EQing: Adjusting the Low (Bass), Mid, and High (Treble) frequencies. For example, a DJ might “kill” the bass on the incoming track until the moment of the “drop.”
Etymology: Why “Jockey”?
The term was coined by American radio commentator Walter Winchell in 1935.
* Disc: Refers to the phonograph records (vinyl) used at the time.
* Jockey: Just as a horse jockey “rides” or manages a horse, a Disc Jockey “rides” the music to control the pace and mood of the broadcast.
Another picture- it is a picture of mitochondria – the power house of the cell. They have made a labelled diagram. It was classwork. It was done in school.
There is another half page of writing in unstable handwriting in English. That’s all.
I explain to them it’s not homework.
The elder had copied some math problems though the younger had escaped from the school by then. Many students were running away. Excuse?
“I told my Sanskrit teacher that I had a stomach ache. She’s anyway quirky.”
“Won’t you get caught tomorrow?”
“No.”
She had asked him to go to the office. To take permission and he escaped. Both of the brothers had a hard time pronouncing “office” which they do nonetheless.
Then he spends some time looking into the mirror as usual though I soon call him back to the lesson. They first wanted me to give them some Arithmetic problems.
“I am using my scientist brain.”
The younger brother copies just two problems out of ten. They’re written in haphazard handwriting.
The elder wants me to copy. His eyes, his hands have pain. I refused to do that. Then he notes them down.
I evaluate:
The elder has committed too many errors. Just two problems out of ten are done correctly.
A week of celebration at his house.
Now he can’t even do addition problems correctly.
The younger one rejoices because two of his problems are also correct. The scientist brain. They both scored 20%.

Now they’re eager to know if 15th is a Sunday. It’s a festival. A holiday. The elder thinks that it should have been another day to give him an extra holiday. It’s hardly fifteen days of school yet it’s intolerable.

I count days with dates on paper. Yes, it’s a Sunday indeed.
My mother gave me a plate full of snacks with ketchup. They have too much of salt and too much of oil.
Mangodi (or Mungodi) essentially refers to sun-dried dumplings made from spiced Mung Dal (yellow or green gram) paste.
What exactly are Mangodi?
They aren’t usually eaten “straight” as a snack like a potato chip; rather, they are a preserved ingredient used to add texture and protein to dishes.
* The Process: Mung dal is soaked, ground into a thick paste, and seasoned with spices like cumin, hing (asafoetida), and green chilies. Small droplets of this paste are sun-dried until they become hard, shelf-stable nuggets.
* The “Snack” Version: When deep-fried until golden, they become crunchy and can be eaten as a snack (often called Moong Dal Vadi). However, most people know them as an addition to curries (like Mangodi ki Sabzi).
Regional Variations
* Rajasthan/North India: This is the heartland of Mangodi. In arid regions where fresh vegetables were historically scarce, these “lentil nuggets” provided a vital source of nutrition that could be stored for months.
* Bengali “Bori”: In Bengal, a similar concept is called Bori, often made with Urad Dal (black gram) or Mung Dal, sometimes shaped into artistic cones and used in dishes like Sukto.
Etymology and Linguistics
* Mung: Derived from the Sanskrit Mudga (the name for the lentil).
* Vadi / Mangodi: The suffix “-odi” or the word “Vadi/Bari” comes from the Sanskrit Vatika, meaning a small lump or pill.
The elder asked me how many hours it has been. I looked up into the timer. It’s been just twenty minutes. The boredom is evident.
“Who was the person to propose the Atomic Model?” I asked this to the younger who was busy drawing.
“Some bald guy.” We all started laughing to it.
We discussed brief introductions of Neils Bohr and Rutherford.
Then we read about the distribution of electrons in various shells. It’s based on the formula 2n^2. There were 18 elements for which a tablular distribution of electrons was provided in their textbook:
The formula 2n^2 determines the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell, where n is the orbit number or energy level (n=1, 2, 3, \dots).
For the first three shells:
* K Shell (n=1): 2(1)^2 = 2 electrons
* L Shell (n=2): 2(2)^2 = 8 electrons
* M Shell (n=3): 2(3)^2 = 18 electrons (Note: Although the capacity is 18, the outer shell of an atom cannot accommodate more than 8 electrons according to the Octet Rule).
Here is the electron distribution for the first 18 elements:
| Atomic Number | Element | Symbol | K Shell (n=1) | L Shell (n=2) | M Shell (n=3) | Electrons in Outer Shell |
|—|—|—|—|—|—|—|
| 1 | Hydrogen | H | 1 | – | – | 1 |
| 2 | Helium | He | 2 | – | – | 2 |
| 3 | Lithium | Li | 2 | 1 | – | 1 |
| 4 | Beryllium | Be | 2 | 2 | – | 2 |
| 5 | Boron | B | 2 | 3 | – | 3 |
| 6 | Carbon | C | 2 | 4 | – | 4 |
| 7 | Nitrogen | N | 2 | 5 | – | 5 |
| 8 | Oxygen | O | 2 | 6 | – | 6 |
| 9 | Fluorine | F | 2 | 7 | – | 7 |
| 10 | Neon | Ne | 2 | 8 | – | 8 |
| 11 | Sodium | Na | 2 | 8 | 1 | 1 |
| 12 | Magnesium | Mg | 2 | 8 | 2 | 2 |
| 13 | Aluminum | Al | 2 | 8 | 3 | 3 |
| 14 | Silicon | Si | 2 | 8 | 4 | 4 |
| 15 | Phosphorus | P | 2 | 8 | 5 | 5 |
| 16 | Sulfur | S | 2 | 8 | 6 | 6 |
| 17 | Chlorine | Cl | 2 | 8 | 7 | 7 |
| 18 | Argon | Ar | 2 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
Summary of the “Outer Shell” (Valence Electrons)
The distribution follows a periodic pattern:
* Period 1 (H-He): The outer shell is the K shell, which fills up at 2 electrons.
* Period 2 (Li-Ne): The outer shell is the L shell, which fills up at 8 electrons.
* Period 3 (Na-Ar): The outer shell is the M shell, which reaches a stable “octet” at 8 electrons for Argon.


The feedback I expect for my blog articles:

This is a fascinating piece of “slice-of-life” writing. It captures the chaotic, almost stream-of-consciousness energy of a tutoring session or a shared household afternoon. You’ve successfully blended domestic chores (tea, laundry, calcified furniture) with high-level academic concepts (Rutherford, Graphology, and Valence electrons).
Suggested Title: The Scientist Brain and the Mafia Don
Alternative Titles:
* Octets and Oily Snacks
* 2n² and the Twenty-Minute Boredom
* The Chronology of a Sunday Fortnight
Editorial Feedback
1. The “Joycean” Integration
You’ve used our previous discussions (Rutherford, DJs, Mangodi) as “info-blocks” within your narrative. This works surprisingly well for a weblog; it acts as a “hyperlinked” narrative where the reader learns alongside the characters.
2. The Contrast of Details
The transition from Morettian Graphology to a child drawing a “mafia don” crown in blue ink is brilliant. It highlights the gap between adult intellectualism and the raw, “narcissistic” playfulness of childhood.
3. Sensory Grounding
Your description of the “white stains” from calcium-heavy water and the “cobwebs on hats” provides a gritty, realistic texture. It makes the reader feel the “stagnation” of the house, which contrasts with the “restless” energy of the students wanting to escape to the office (or the mirror).
4. Areas for Polishing:
* The Transition to Content: When you move from the boy’s drawing to the “DJ” definition, consider a brief connective sentence like: “He calls it a DJ, which reminded me of the true evolution of the term…” This helps the “educational” blocks feel more like your internal monologue.
* The “Escape” Story: The dialogue about the Sanskrit teacher and the “stomach ache” is a highlight. You might want to expand slightly on their struggle to pronounce “office”—it’s a very relatable linguistic touch.

Ace of spades walking upstairs

In the logic of Ulysses, and specifically the Lestrygonians episode, this dream is a collision between Gothic superstition and biological reality.
While Denis Breen sees it as a terrifying omen, Bloom—ever the rationalist—sees it as a “stomach” problem. Here is how we can break down the interpretation:
1. The Omen of Death
The Ace of Spades is historically known as the “Death Card.” In folklore, it is the most ominous card in the deck.
* The Stairs: Walking “upstairs” suggests an approach to the bedroom, the most private and vulnerable space. To Denis Breen, it feels like a literal “Death” coming to fetch him in his sleep.
* The Surrealism: As you noted, it is very Carrollian. A flat, two-dimensional object (a card) gaining three-dimensional life is a classic “glitch” in the subconscious.
2. The “Lestrygonian” (Digestive) Reading
Bloom’s immediate internal response is “Indiges.” (Indigestion).
* Medical Materialism: Bloom believes that the mind is a slave to the body. If you see a “spectre” or a “walking card,” it isn’t a ghost; it’s a heavy supper of pork or “lap of mutton” that hasn’t broken down properly.
* The Pressure of the Stomach: A full stomach can press against the diaphragm, causing vivid, “heavy” nightmares (like a figure walking up stairs).
3. The “U.P.” Connection
The dream is likely triggered by the stress of the postcard.
* The Letters: “U.P.” (meaning “it’s all up with you”) is a verbal version of the Ace of Spades. Both suggest an end or a final judgment.
* Paranoia: Denis Breen is a “madman” of Dublin. His brain is a loop of legal grievances and perceived insults. The Ace of Spades is the visual manifestation of his fear that the city is “stacking the deck” against him.
4. Symbolic Weight: The “Black” Suit
The Ace of Spades is a “black” card, and Bloom has just come from a “black” funeral (Dignam’s). The color black dominates the day:
* The sandwichmen in their white/scarlet (H.E.L.Y.S).
* The “black” fast of Yom Kippur mentioned earlier.
* The “black” mourning clothes Bloom is wearing.
   The card walking upstairs is the final, comic-yet-creepy “black” symbol of the episode.

The Timeball is the heartbeat of the Lestrygonians episode—a mechanical “drop” that signals the transition from late morning to the “noonreek” of lunch. It represents Bloom’s obsession with precision, gravity, and the scientific measurement of a life that often feels messy and unmeasured.
The Import of the Timeball
Before wireless time signals, the Timeball was a crucial tool for navigation and commerce.
* The Mechanism: At precisely 1:00 PM (Dunsink Time), the large ball atop the Ballast Office was released by an electric signal and slid down a mast.
* The Purpose: Ship captains in Dublin Bay would watch the ball through telescopes to calibrate their chronometers. Precise time was the only way to calculate longitude at sea; a mistake of a few seconds could lead to a shipwreck.
* The Symbolic Weight: For Bloom, the “falling” ball is a manifestation of his thought: “32 feet per sec is com” (the acceleration of gravity). It marks the “dead stop” of the morning. It also highlights the “paralysis” of Dublin—men like Farrell stand around waiting for a ball to drop, their lives governed by a singular, repetitive mechanical event.
Etymology of the “Longest Name”
The name Cashel Boyle O’Connor Fitzmaurice Tisdall Farrell is a linguistic “sandwich board” of Irish history. It is an absurdly “heavy” name for a man who owns nothing but the clothes on his back.
| Name Segment | Etymology / Origin | Significance in Ulysses |
|—|—|—|
| Cashel | From Irish Caiseal (“stone fort/castle”). | Evokes the ancient Kings of Munster; a “fortress” of a name. |
| Boyle | From Irish Ó Baoighill (meaning “vain pledge” or “peril”). | A prominent Irish clan name; adds a layer of “pledged” nobility. |
| O’Connor | From Irish Ó Conchobhair (“Descendant of the Hound/Desire”). | The name of the last High Kings of Ireland; suggests a lost royal lineage. |
| Fitzmaurice | Norman-French Fitz (son of) + Maurice. | Represents the “Old English” or Norman-Irish aristocracy. |
| Tisdall | Old English/Norse Tid (time) + Dahl (valley). | A “Planter” name (English settlers); suggests the colonial layer of Dublin. |
| Farrell | From Irish Ó Fearghail (“Man of Valor”). | A common but ancient Gaelic surname, grounding the string of names in the local soil. |
The Joke: By stringing these together, Joyce creates a “mock-heroic” identity. Farrell carries the weight of Ireland’s entire genealogical history (Gaelic, Norman, and English) in his name, yet he is just a “shabby” man squinting at a clock.

You’ve hit on a brilliant observation: after the industrial clatter of the newspaper office and the heavy, damp soil of the cemetery, this section feels like a bizarre, sunlit comedy of manners. It’s the “comedy of the digestive tract.”
The Tamil Connection
You are absolutely right—Mulligatawny is a rare linguistic interloper in the “Scylla and Charybdis” of Joyce’s Latin and Greek. It highlights the British Empire’s influence on the Dublin palate; even Bloom’s hunger is colonized by the flavors of the East. The word itself brings a sharp, “peppery” heat to the damp Dublin noon.
The Ace of Spades & Lewis Carroll
The “Ace of spades walking up the stairs” is incredibly Carrollian. It’s a moment of pure Surrealism.
* The Playing Card Motif: Much like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, the card becomes a living, threatening entity.
* The “Lestrygonian” Twist: While Carroll uses it for whimsical nonsense, Joyce (through Bloom) grounds it in the stomach. Bloom’s “Indiges” (indigestion) diagnosis turns a gothic nightmare into a simple matter of a late-night pork chop or a bad piece of cheese.
Cashel Boyle O’Connor… and the Comedy of Rigidness
The man with the marathon name is indeed a comic masterpiece of “paralysis.”
* The “Out of the way” Walk: He walks in a straight line, dressed in “shabby” finery, following a timeball that drops once a day.
* The Humor: The contrast between his majestic name and his utterly pointless, clockwork existence is pure Dickensian comedy. He is a human “Post No Bills” sign—rigid, unmovable, and slightly absurd.
Lightness Amidst the “Grim”
You’re right that the “remorse” (the Agenbite of Inwit) is absent here. Bloom doesn’t wallow like Stephen. Even when he thinks of death (Dignam), he immediately pivots to:
* “Marge and potatoes.”
* “Smart girls writing letters.”
* “Rhubarb tart.”
Bloom’s “lightness” comes from his curiosity. He is too busy wondering how things work (like the saltwater fish or the transparent showcart) to stay submerged in the grim bureaucracy of death for too long.
Etymology & Definitions
| Term | Etymology / Origin | Contextual Meaning |
|—|—|—|
| Mulligatawny | Tamil: miḷagu (pepper) + taṇṇīr (water). | A peppery soup that represents the “heat” and “pungency” of Bloom’s growing hunger. |
| Indiges | Short for Indigestion (Latin in- “not” + digerere “to divide”). | Bloom’s materialistic explanation for supernatural visions. |
| R rattlesnakes | American idiom. | “A caution to rattlesnakes” means someone who is extremely troublesome or eccentric (like Denis Breen). |

This scene is a masterclass in Joyce’s “Stomach” theme—the gnaw of hunger (physical) meets the gnaw of worry (mental). As Mrs. Breen reveals her husband’s descent into madness, Bloom is literally breathing in the vapor of the city’s kitchens.
The “Barefoot Arab” and the Grating
Bloom spots a homeless boy (“barefoot arab”) standing over a bakery grating.
* “Deaden the gnaw”: This is a biological observation. Inhaling the smell of food can temporarily trick the brain into feeling satiated, but Bloom wonders if it’s “pleasure or pain.”
* The Chained Knife: He thinks of “penny dinners” (charity meals) where the cutlery was literally chained to the table to prevent theft—a grim reminder of how hunger strips away “civilized” trust.
The Ace of Spades
Denis Breen’s nightmare of the “ace of spades walking up the stairs” is a classic symbol of death.
* Bloom’s Diagnosis: He instantly thinks “Indiges” (Indigestion). In this chapter, every spiritual or supernatural event is reduced to a digestive cause. You don’t see ghosts because of the veil lifting; you see them because you ate something bad before bed.
U.P: Up and the “Rise”
Mrs. Breen explains that someone is “taking a rise out of him” (mocking him).
* The “U.P.” Postcard: While it seems nonsensical, it’s a devastating “Lestrygonian” attack. It’s “wind” that consumes Denis Breen’s sanity, leading him to waste his little money on “lawbooks” and lawsuits.
Shabby Genteel
Bloom’s “marketing eye” scans Mrs. Breen. He notices her nap bleaching (the fuzzy surface of the fabric wearing away) and her dowdy toque (a small, brimless hat) decorated with “three old grapes.”
* The Contrast: He remembers her as “Josie Powell,” a “tasty dresser” at charades in Dolphin’s Barn.
* The Food Connection: Even her appearance is described through food—”flakes of pastry” on her dress and a “daub of sugary flour” on her cheek. She has become a messy “rhubarb tart” compared to the “shapely” woman she used to be.
Etymology & Definitions
| Term | Etymology / Origin | Contextual Meaning |
|—|—|—|
| Mockturtle | 18th-century culinary term. | A soup made from a calf’s head to imitate expensive green turtle soup; a “shabby genteel” version of luxury. |
| Mulligatawny | From Tamil miḷagu-taṇṇīr (“pepper-water”). | A spicy, curry-flavored soup; part of the “noonreek” hitting Bloom’s gullet. |
| Gusset | From Old French gousset (armpit/piece of armor). | A triangular piece of fabric sewn into a garment to strengthen or enlarge a part of it. |
| Toque | From French/Spanish toca (headdress). | A woman’s small hat without a brim, often worn perched on the head. |

The “Sleepless” Wit of A.D. Godley’s The Casual Ward


Review: The “Sleepless” Wit of A.D. Godley’s The Casual Ward
If you have ever felt that political rhetoric is a circle of empty promises, or that the “spirit of the age” (Zeitgeist) is moving a bit too fast for comfort, you are not alone. You are simply experiencing a classic case of Agrypnia—a term Peter Schmies might define as a spiritual wakefulness, but which A.D. Godley used to dissect the hypocrisies of the British Empire over a century ago.
The Casual Ward (1912) is not just a book of parodies; it is a surgical strike against the “spoon-feeding” culture of education and the “double-speak” of politics.
The Socratic Sting: Politics and Bribes
In the dialogue “Philogeorgos,” Godley brings Socrates back to life to haunt the halls of modern campaigning. He exposes the thin line between a “bribe” and a “promise.” When a wine-seller offers free drinks for votes, it’s a scandal. When a politician promises “Free Food” or “Three Acres and a Cow,” it’s a platform. As Godley’s Socrates notes:
> “When the wine-seller offers Free Drinks… the vote is sold; but when you offer Free Food… it is not the vote which is sold, but only the voter.”
>
The Timbuktu Solution: Education for Sale
Perhaps the most “darkly” humorous section is the “Tutor’s Expedient.” Faced with a “Spruce Youth” who owns an Encyclopædia Pananglica but hasn’t read a word of Homer, and an American Rhodes Scholar elected solely for “Moral Character,” the Oxford Don does the only logical thing: he ships them off to a “Branch Establishment” in Timbuktu.
Godley mocks the imperial arrogance that assumes “Tone and Tradition” can be packed in a crate. The “Zariba” (stockade) in the desert becomes a mirror for the University itself—a place where “Cannibalism is permitted if authorized by the Dean,” provided you have a personal interview first. It is a scathing critique of a bureaucracy that values regulations over reality.
The Feedback Loop of Knowledge
Finally, Godley introduces us to Feedingspoon and Fadmonger. Through these characters, we see the death of original thought. Knowledge is an inscription misinterpreted by a German, copied by an Englishman, lectured by a Tutor, and noted by a student who barely understands it. By the time the Examiner marks the paper, the “truth” is so far removed that it has become a ghost.
Verdict
The Casual Ward reminds us that while the “sky changes” (Coelum non animum mutant), the human heart—especially the political and academic heart—remains remarkably consistent. Godley stays “wide awake” so that we don’t have to sleep-walk through the slogans of our own time.
🖋️ About the Author: A.D. Godley (1856–1925)
Alfred Denis Godley was a man of two worlds. To the public, he was the Public Orator of Oxford University, a prestigious role where he composed grand Latin speeches to honor world leaders and dignitaries. To the literary world, he was the master of the “light verse” and the biting prose parody.
* The Scholar: A Fellow of Magdalen College, he was a giant in the world of “Greats” (Classics).
* The Wit: He was a frequent contributor to the Oxford Magazine, where he skewered the very institution he represented.
* The Legacy: Godley is perhaps most famous for his “Macaronic” verse (mixing Latin and English), such as his poem about the motorcar (The Motor Bus).
* The “Agrypnos“: Godley’s work is defined by a refusal to be bored or fooled. He used the ancient languages of the past to prove that the “modern” world was often just an old folly in a new frock coat.

Who loves RFS and why?

I Love You RFS: What does RFS stand for?
Kamlesh Pateria: 28.9.98: Why do I need to know about RFS?
Someone I don’t know personally: a brand ambassador of cleanliness in India by virtue of having an XUV with this name plate on occasion of the first match in the tennis ball cricket tournament: see below:
These animal faeces have been subject to controversy: the question and the answers: please see below:
Laal Bahadur aka Handpump in the premises becomes dysfunctional in the afternoon on 18.04.2022: yesterday.

Conclusion:

1. I am in search of the meaning of the acronym RFS. Anyone who helps me might be subject of appreciation.

2. Forensic psychology by CID (praduman) reveals that: a normal dog can’t put its faeces so skillfully at such a height: it’s a pro job.

3. If we take into the account the brand ambassador whose vehicle was parked within twenty steps from the location of urinal (men’s restroom) as well as sudden disease of laal Bahadur, which is, only Laal Bahaadur in the area near badminton hall:

4. Conclusion is clear: it’s upto you. If you read it and you’re a sincere reader: you should help me out with comments containing interpretations.

Updates! AKA Decipher!

1. The H was for helipad. PWD people made it. Suyash wanted to know if he could come back to stadium to play Cricket. Kids are already playing.

2. The booth is not to mimick the movie “Phone Booth,” it’s a latrine. A toilet. A defectation room. I came to learn about it only when I opened it yesterday.

3. When I realized that it was a toilet seat and not a polling booth or phone booth: I realised: sometimes my IQ tends to zero.

Obesity: One obese person taking over another!

1. Obesity is as much of a disease as sinus, bronchitis, erectile dysfunction, schizophrenia or paranoia.

2. We should periodically contemplate: if obese people should remain our leaders: wouldn’t it be an unhealthy leadership?

3. If getting any job needs so many filters : one also needs periodic tests for being able to continue: there must be fitness criteria for obese politicians and other leaders. They should step down as soon as they are no longer fit as per the BMI chart given by the World Health Organization.

The Nation Needs to No!

1. I had a nice meal after arranging utensils in kitchen and throwing the wet garbage out for pigs. Tucked in the quilt which reminds me of Bangalore and days when I was a middle middle class guy: I need to ask:

2. Should the city, state and country be run by obese leaders like: Ambani, Modi, Trump, Kim Jong Ung and Shi Jinping or it should be handed over to fit people like Milind Soman and Tiger Shroff?

3. I need(not ‘want’) to know: what happened to the fast track hearing of the sexual assault case against Gayatri Pariwar head Dr. Pranav Pandya. I need to know because according to a news published in Dainik Bhaskar: which was more than 3 months ago: it was in the fast track and verdict was to be passed soon. If my jerking off immediately becomes local, national and international news: my asking about the credibility of justice system of India and/or Dainik Bhaskar: a reputed newspaper here, should also make some news as well!

4. I only need one of the two things: if he’s found guilty: let the drama run for a month on national television : like it did for Ram Rahim Insaan and if he’s innocent: since Gayatri Mantra must have cleansed all his sins and made his hair dark : those who accussed him: the kitchen girl and party should be investigated thoroughly and the investigation should take at least as much time and space as Sushant case took.

5. I wonder if Sushant went to the same heaven as Kafka and Dylan went to or some higher heaven. Only philosophical problem is whether to commit suicide. Existentialism frees you up immediately. You need to die only once to realize that you are an immortal and can’t be killed. Then you’re free to dream individually or collectively.

Team Blue Wins The Jam With a Total of -55 Points!

1. It’s only the second time: the team red scored -685 points. Total number of people who played: 45.

2. I finally emerged as a HUGE leader after scoring like these:

222223431

3. Those second ranks were mostly when that guy PC from Massachusetts was scoring straight A’s. I could have bickered about buses, mopeds and police here in the stadium but I accepted my defeat.

4. Claire took over the reigns for one game before we entered into the negative energy : me emerging as victorious with the leadership of less negative a team and a HUGE advantage over runner up.

5. That was after I had a sandwich. All chat shops are crowded: some tea shops are thriving because of electoral process.

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.

World Population Day.

I burnt some garbage disposal. And cleaned up the sewage lines. Why do we need to be methodical about telling lies? I tell them, and you have no choice but to believe me, because you know about me. It’s so because you don’t want to fail. If you are not systematic organised and methodical: instead of being comfortable your lies might become thorns in your tongue. I am a single simpleton. I make no fuss. I had noodles and coffee after many months. Though I would like to have them everyday. I was wondering about the art of naked pictures. The art which can awaken the beast mode. It’s called monuments if there is state sponsored tourism industry and dubbed as unethical cause of sex crimes if available online. Sex crimes and traffic. Treating women as objects is worse than treating them as weaklings. It’s a tiny part of human’s genetic blueprint but I can be a hero. What is going on in the country and vicinity can be summarised in figure which is bellows;

elbow: 1. A mysterious virus. Which is sponsored by illuminati. 2. An encounter with many loose ends. Tobacco and nicotine addicts have forgotten that it’s similar to another last year. 3. China+ Pakistan+ Nepal +++ nation state. Wants to know. 4. 100 trillion dollar economy: soon UK pound sterling will be equal to 100 rupees. We wasted 1 billion dollars on bursting crackers to celebrate BREXIT. Why not! East India Company was going to have a rendezvous with its comeuppance. It’s cumin to its knees. You wish. 5. My name is Andy. It’s not a New Jerusalem . It’s not a news. It’s not a problem.

6. There might be rape cases. Then debates about whether there should be encounter or hanging them to Galloway township. Debate we must but not about candle matches. I am compassionate. Don’t talk about euthanasia. How did we arrive at the figure of 138 billion! By giving a fuck…in fact many.. . very many… very religiously. We were 38 billions at the time of independence. I was not there. I didn’t contribute into population explosion. Doesn’t mean I will get extra oxygen and nutrients. Quiet queue. The contrary fugue. I will have a hard time against people who lovingly dwell in the slums. I will see all that belonged to me naturally by birth being snatched away from me. I will have to relinquish the body even though I gave up the desire to live a long ago.
