Rest of the day!

1. Borrowing leads to more borrowing. Ideally I should have learnt the alchemy by now: I would have been a wealthy man. Practically: I am going to borrow another two hundred for the internet recharge. I took an advance from my employer who enquired about our progress in studies. It’s not the first time she used “addiction” for my reading habits. It does seem flattering but truth is: I am far behind than I should have been. I told her about Shri’s progress in Hindi and English.

Dhaniram at the Horse Square!

2. We did some catching practice as she was bored of the play written by Sanskrit playwright Bhasa. It was written many centuries ago. It was based on the popular event in which Duryodhana the king of Kauravas who were dark half of Mahabharata was ruling the country and the bright half was in the exile yearning for five villages or half of the kingdom as per their right. Vaasudev comes as a messenger.

3. The students were quicker than me in Sanskrit. I was drowsy when they knocked. We had a nice time reading some verses and doing some practice.

4. Dhaniram was sitting at horse square. I took the picture. I also observed a Bramhani lizard just outside the stadium: it tried to run towards my feet.

A Relevant Verse By Atal Bihari Vajpayee!

Worship of Mother banned!

The verse in Hindi was written by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It was written when he was taken captive during emergency.

The front of this book has an image in which Indira Gandhi, then prime minister, has been portrayed as incarnation of Parashuram. Parashuram is considered to be incarnation of Vishnu who is God-head.

The book was published in 1977. Modern Printers, 21 Dariyaganj, New Delhi. By Saraswati Vihar.

Image courtesy: Gandhi Smarak Bhavan Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh.

Another which stood out has to do with ‘tantra’ being more powerful than ‘mantra’. Billboards succeed where mantras fail. Reference to journeys.

I was slightly mollycoddled to publish this by Kabir’s verse enacted by Agni band.

Owing to lack of time I am not able to translate the verse into English at present. My apologies to English readers of this blog.

Bushes and Clouds!

A man in a white bushirt walks on the railway tracks.

He has a carry bag in his right hand.

Dust clouds as vehicles pass by.

Another man is waiting for him at the signal.

I exchanged the stick I was carrying.

Music of spheres!

Birds chirping.

A black bird perches down, another frolics, doing gymnastics in air,

A big white cloud is flying towards the North,

A beautiful butterfly flies in circles,

Dragonflies create amazing patterns

They have couple of flaps for wings on either sides,

Another tractor and another bike,

I could never understand why people talk on phones or to cotravellers when on road.

I can breathe deep for now,

The air is fresh,

I have this solitude to cherish,

To walk on railway tracks is difficult,

You can not look around,

Can’t look at the sky,

Each step has to be equal in measure,

It is better to walk below the tracks.

Bushes.

I saw a dead dark green snake laying on road today,

It was akin to one seen yesterday,

At another spot.

It seems the young brown dog has gone back on its tail wagging as it was barking playfully with its daddy.

Nakul: The Roller Coaster!

Weather is most pleasant this morning: neptunian, foggy and dreamlike. A baby owl was sitting here on a branch of neem tree where I found a piece of chair to scribble my ideas. Birds are festive and wind is blowing fast. It took me less time than usual to cover the distance today. It was also more quiet than usual today. A shop where welding work is done was open too early. Octogenarians were conversing sitting on the wall of the Shiva temple. A few joggers. The first tea was alright but the second was cold. I ran for a little while after coming to the city to cover the distance.

2. Something strange woke me up this morning. Something was moving near my left arm. It startled me and i woke up jerking the chadar to throw it off. I saw a rat which made a sound as it went away. It was a mole rat. A chhachoondar. I had to look up for the English word. I read a bit and now i realize that it might have come for the want of the heat as it is an ectotherm. Only mamallian thermoconformer. It was an indication that the temperature dropped this morning. Wind is indeed slightly cold compared to yesterday. It is a good thing that we have the chhach in the house.

Ten marks for spotting the baby owl in the picture!

3. I enjoyed the chai. The mild drizzling shower was refreshing adventure. There was no structure to it. The walawal means it has water and the walawalap means it is full of water.

4. A roadroller is parked here and I am planning on writing a verse. It is a rough draft and I have to think about it more. Edit: it was a roadroller not a rollercoaster.

Rastafarian birds!

There are few words. A few birds frolicking. There were eight crows on the way. The clouds are foggy but enough to obstruct the path of the Sun. Breeze is soothing. A couple of geese flying over the pond. . The white birds came here for food. The day was spent counting the spitters. What you reinforced became magical calculadora fedora oral omnibus busted stead. The man and the woman that lived in the house were both researchers of the supernatural.

The girl who has her left hand bandaged was playing with a cart just a few days ago. As I was sitting besides the puncture shop , couple of men on tractor asked me if I repaired punctures. I told them that the mechanic was in his village in Bihar and next shop was a few metres away. Buffaloes, crows on their back and a few cows. The lady with water box on her head walks cautiously.

Justice

Justice!

Just ice,

Very nice,

Roll the dice,

Play the role,

Reach the goal,

The hole,

Play the word,

Lay the cards,

On table,

Cable car,

Carmine minecraft,

Able stable,

Rabble roused.

Coal doused.

Dark Clouds!

A woodpecker song.

Squirrel nibbles the fruit which fell from the margossa tree.

A man dressed black had a white beard and funny eyes.

He looked around with suspicion.

Kept digging earth for sand from the root of the grass.

Perhaps some medicine,

Or an amulet.

He sure did spend a long time for a small amount of earth.

Another boy on bicycle has earphone plugged. He keeps spitting every thirty seconds. I watch a kingfisher perching on top of an electric poll.

Cold breeze blows. Clouds fly. Dark clouds.

Nowhere!

It’s the world photography day.

A squirrel is trying to nibble at the blue shirt hanging on a pillar.

A lizard looked out of ventilation of the bathroom yesterday, near the same place as it was raining cats and gods.

Dragonflies and horseflies,

Buzzing zing,

Amazing birds,

Though he charges ten rupees per tea,

How does he maintain the same quality per serving,

Is a mystery. I have served tea.

It’s drizzling and a piece of plastic chair is my seat under the neem tree.

If I were asked to live a memory of this life again,

It would be this.

The tree leaves are dancing,

And all the faces which were familiar to me have completely been erased from my memory.

The freight train passes at random times. The passenger and the express are no longer running. I look towards the track which might be used as the pathway in Winter.

Yellow butterflies flutter by.

Rustling leaves, emptiness.

Heavy vehicles on duty.

Heavy duty.

Free from desire. I never had any.

Many birds commingle on a branch,

They look innocent,

They sing jingles,

Bells chime,

Words rhyme,

It’s about time,

A portal opened,

A doorway,

A snoring ring,

A quiet bird perched,

Quietly on an electric wire,

Oblivious to oblivion,

Immersed in its own glorious fumes,

It looks at the caravan of moths,

It looks at the grass,

It ponders,

It twitters

Its chirping is terse,

It looks at the timeless dance,

Eternity.

It was here, now it’s nowhere.
