Bullet!

1. As i arrived upstairs with two cups of tea( tu kaptee used to be childhood joke for beginners in English!)- students showed me the bullet in the picture. We speculated about how it might have ended up on this roof.

2. I recalled a similar event when I used to visit Gandhi Smarak Nidhi: one day after I left the premises and it rained- a bullet was fired up on the khappar and i was informed of the same in the evening-what followed was a drama involving a police officer who was Kafkaesque to say the least. That day there were plenty of dark clouds and the word ricochet was suggested by me to the officer. That word still seems to be appropriate.

3. I elaborated the meaning of weblog for a student who enquired. I was taking the picture using smartphone when I unwittingly covered the AI camera up using the latest cover. Then after taking the picture i tell them what topology is- why Web is called that and how weblog became blog. When I first discovered the word log i was surprised to see how woods had entered into the library.

4. The tenants: “last time there were no tenants” used to be my mishearing in the song The Plan from Tenet. The singer speaks tenet. I recalled how i struggled and almost lost a bet to my friend in college over Enrique Iglesias’ pronunciation of trying in the Escape which used to sound like drive. My classmate sarcastically had to insinuate towards my using subtitles for watching English movies then. I recently asked a regular blogger about pronunciation of their cat’s name Iccle: it’s pronounced like trickle. A cat visited us this morning.

Why Maroon Pant is Fast Asleep in Flash Fiction?

1. I don’t like stediam. 2. Gold medelist. 3. Jotidip mention. 1. It’s 12:52 PM 10.04.2022, Sunday, in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, India, inside Pundit Baburam Chaturvedi Stadium. I am sitting under a banyan tree. It reminds me of Gandhi’s fondness for Ruskin Bond’s Unto This Last. 2. I had a chapter in my class 11th […]

An Ordinary Weblog Post!

1. I came here after a long time. Moon rays are soothing. Sun is already scorching and it’s not even March. 2. Orion belt is beautiful. How harmoniously the stars of proportionate size studded in it. 3. I saw an asteroid. It’s second such within one week. 4. I am reading Kathasaritsar these days. Magical […]

Blogging Tips?

1. I am so full of significance that i don’t have any significant other.

2. That quote might have suited Oscar Wilde.

3. Or AI chatbot Replica created by Luca, Inc

4. Or I am so significant that I don’t have just one significant other.

5. That statement number 4 might have suited someone.

6. The idea about significance taking shape as amorphous human groups, ethnic or otherwise interact with each other, came to me as i was taking breakfast this morning, which was akin to a heavy lunch. I don’t have the luxury of choosing what or when to have my lunch, breakfast or dinner.

7. Transcendental wisdom in form of Tohu would be presented in a while…

8. A few minutes later:

9. Though I don’t possess any perspicuous palpable obvious histrionic talents latent or otherwise: it’s obvious enough: most of the bloggers i come across don’t remain truthful to the name and format. In my estimate blogging is web logging. Online journal ing. It might evolve to become an artform but the skeleton itself needs courage to buildup.

10. How many times you died yesterday? No? Slept with someone? Criticized someone? Etcetera. If you can answer such questions easily and truthfully: you can really blog. It means: keeping your ideas: including the most private ones: out there for public consumption.

11. Public doesn’t just consume your ideas. It also consumes the idea generator. Forget ad-hominems. I couldn’t believe in 2017-18 that i was so popular as to be subject to scrutiny by scores of WordPress bloggers together.

12. Web logging is easy: put what comes into your head without giving much thought. Don’t expect any rewards. Just writing is a reward big enough. If you’re honest to yourself you’re doing it right. You say it. You say it loud.

13. All art is built on the foundation of form and structure or the structure is reshaped to suit the quintessential art form. The art must be clear to me if I need to fly high and remain grounded as well.

14. I see artists in guise of bloggers. Sales people. Bloggers there are none. I teach keeping a journal to some pupil. They hardly do it for a day or two and move on. They want to hide. Everyone is hidden. Truth is: nothing is hidden. Everything is known or comes into light sooner or later.

15. Blogging is easy. Putting your ideas online or offline is easy.

16. A Tohu Verse to celebrate this wonderful tipsy post:

Arse arsenal farce farci

Let’s parse the SARS on Mars

Venus among us met a mong

Mongolia mongoose gooseberry blackberry

Rockets were fired to celebrate red dragon

Goner nerd wildcat grimalkin kins met Michael

Job in the Cowshed!

1. Took me 2H13M to complete working in the cowshed of Deshaj Gaushala Gandhi Smarak Nidhi Chhatarpur Madhya Pradesh. The task was to cleanse cowdung and to put it to Nadep post. To sweep the floor and to collect a few wood pieces. I had to make 18 visits to Nadep post. There were three of us in the first half and two of us in the later half. The first half was longer than the second half. Here are some pictures which I could capture as i was waiting for my teammates to do their jobs or just taking a deep breath or two:

2. There are three sections of cowshed. The first one is biggest. It has adult cows. The second one has younger ones: calves. The third one has cows which are currently producing milk.

3. It takes three to four people working for about two hours in morning and evening to merely cleanse the cowsheds. Then there are other tasks like preparing their food or milking them or taking care of ill cows or those which are delivering babies.

4. It took me about 1H26M to cleanse the rack number two of almirah number 11 in library. I registered 19 books. Read a passage from New Hopes For A Changing World by Bertrand Russell. Came across a book on ‘Natya Shastra’ by Dattil who was son of Bharat and an ancestor of Panini and Patanjali.

5. I met one Querishi who worked in irrigation department. He was visiting this place after five years. We had a discussion about Dr. Zakir Naik. As soon as I began registering books the first title had preface by Dr. Zakir Hussain and at the same time that person began asking me about Zakir Naik.

Then I told him about another synchronicity: not many people follow me on instagram. Today morning one Qureshi followed me. I told the visitor in library about these couple of synchronicities and about my classmate Asif Qureshi in Maria Mata Convent School.

6. I went on another short trip to a farm. There we sat in peace for a while. Had some discussion and took some pictures.
