Let’s just say that’s the surest way to learn a lot of things. Or most of the things. If you are not logomachiacal you are losing something.

Sometimes it can take years to describe…
This is some question.
If that person can’t see me but in a few moments can try, what I call, the leg-covers (okay, pants or bottoms in usual parlance) I’ve taken a few years to shape, that person would come to know something. Would that be description enough?

What are they attempting?
Many congratulations to the champ!
But tell me, do you take inspiration from movie songs? How believable is the headline?
Did the champ really say this? Really? What does such a headline convey to the young reader?

There is no list!
What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?
If there were a list, it would help surely to offer a comprehensive answer.
The point about tradition, like ritual and habit, is the describing of practising of any tradition in detail. All the moves one makes in following or not following a tradition.
Here’s one top of the mind. I did not learn or was prompted to learn our regional language or dialect one may say. MEWARI.
My parents speak in Mewari when they meet certain people, but I speak in Hindi. But wait, is this a matter of tradition? Language is a part of tradition, but speaking with others in Mewari, is that a matter of tradition?

It is not Storage
The way sentences are crafted, we come to believe the computational view, well promoted in Facebook’s language and algorithmic feature.
MEMORY IS NOT STORAGE
Memory strictly is a unique feature among living beings. It may get aided or distorted or changed basis certain factors.
Often we say, retrieving memory. It isn’t a memory actually if it isn’t retrieved. What I mean, there is no memory without retrieval. Unrestrieved memory is no memory. You see that crazy use of words. Sorry if it is confusing and thank you if you get it.
In fact, there could be a meta-memory which hints at memory of a retrieved memory, that’s possible. But it ends there. RETRIEVAL cannot be teased apart from memory.

Non-stabby Food
What foods would you like to make?
Generally, I would not want to behead, stab, or wring life out of a living being to make my food; I wouldn’t mind making any food otherwise.

Posts and Pages
Publishing Software = Machine
Machine Operators use machines to produce a certain output.
I have become a better Machine Operator now.
I shall be producing lengthier writing I sense; what we call articles and essays and such.
As a Machine Operator, you can say I shall produce some pages now, in addition to posts.
I used this post to enunciate a few expressions.

Quality now?
There was a time when quality meant DURABILITY. At least a large part of it I can say.
But then what’s DURABILITY in turn? 2 meanings for me:
- Has long life
- Low on maintenance
- Relatively little effort needed to maintain
- Relatively every effort to maintain proves economic
While there are warranties on many things we buy, especially the ones that carry high ticket prices, there are plenty of things that do not offer any idea about their durability. Do you experience that too?

Wording
On what subject(s) are you an authority?
Though a question like is a bit awkward too. Authority sounds heavy but I am ready to assume it.
WORDING
Example.
There is a difference between GOAT and GREATEST RECORD BREAKER. Overlap possible but not necessary.
Djokovic is the latter: GREB (Greatest Record Breaker).
I’ve got the word. And now I am sleeping peacefully.

Sofa in your Jeans
That subject-line or phrase may not make much sense, except that I’ve been thinking for long that in India, the twill fabric we call ‘jeans’ is better suitable for draping sofas, like upholstery you know.
Just fooling around to see if any AI tool can rhyme with SOFA IN YOUR JEANS and I get this! It’s a full AI-generated poem!!! Not bad! Amazing actually! I would’ve taken a while to write something like this. This is unfiltered and unedited.
I tried to squeeze, I stretched and strained,
My jeans felt tighter, unrestrained.
A bulky lump, a curious sight,
Like sofa cushions, crammed in tight.My pockets bulged, a dreadful plight,
No graceful curve, no figure right.
I walked with waddle, rather slow,
A sofa’s presence, all aglow.Perhaps some springs, a plushy seat,
To offer comfort to my feet?
But no, it’s just my keys and phone,
That make my jeans a comfort throne.So lesson learned, before I flee,
To empty pockets, wild and free.
Lest I resemble, in my plight,
A sofa stuffed in jeans so tight!That last line of the 3rd stanza doesn’t fit, doesn’t sound right at all! And the 2nd line in the 4th stanza, I can’t relate that to the other thoughts in the poem. Funnn anyhow!

Beyond your sight
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
Sustainable lifestyle?
Hello, this phrase is soooooo abused but it is in currency. Folks feel guilty, so give them something to tom tom please! Let’s give them ‘sustainable’.
What are your measures?
Sustainable lifestyle for whom? For what? The world, your neighborhood, your country, your pets, your family, your friends, your workplace, the animals around, the trees around, the soil, the air, the water, etc etc.
Most of the things happening are beyond our sights. All the statistics in the media are statistixed and compiled beyond your sights. All you see is, “Study says…”, “Science says…”, “Experts say…”, “Report by Falana Institute says…” and this and that.
3-minute docu-type reels have made a thorough mess of understanding.
Wait, do you know the names of the plants, trees and insects that live in your neighborhood within 100 metres of your house?
I am living to survive and to write and to record some funny things. Long back, I bought some office-space very close to my residence, and I often walk down or ride my bike around for my errands. And I work out in non-air-conditioned surroundings.
It already feels like an angry essay. Thanks.

Thing?
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
Am wondering if I should answer this question… Kiss is the most delicious thing. You might say, one feels a kiss, not eat it. Alright.
Leave it.
Btw, for a long long time I relished having Domino’s Cheese Burst Pizza. I still might relish it but I am wary of the quality of ingredients and some other stuff that goes on at their outlets. Is my wariness genuine?
One response to “Thing?”

Funny Experience with Credencys
If you do not know what Credencys is, don’t mind. It is an IT company that I happened to chance upon while searching for a PIM system on Google.
What is a PIM system? Product Information Management System. Useful for ecommerce companies. Useful for companies trying to maintain consistent product information for all the people concerned.
What do I want PIM for? I want PIM for this business of mine: Mississippi Earrings. I feel deploying a PIM system will help us organize things on the web consistently for this business.
So I write to Credencys. Someone named Amy responds swiftly. Calls. Chats. Understands my requirement and state of business and my need for an economic PIM solution. Designates a time for a demo of the PIM system that they can potentially set up for my business.
And then, Amy calls up a day before the time of online demo-meeting. Gives me a fake reason that their ‘solutions architect’ won’t be available and, the very next moment, intimates me that it will cost a cool 25-30 lacs INR (no way economic going by whatever standards!) to deploy a PIM system and cancels the demo-meeting. Effectively saying, “I don’t want to look at you my dear Prospect! Your inquiry was stupid!”
