morning boy's letters on serious matters and commentary on funny things aplenty
What’s the trait you value most about yourself?
Think of the word STORAGE.
The way this word feels when spoken or written… As if everything in STORAGE is safe and sound and stationary and available when required.
Turns out that Digital Storage is anything but safe and sound and stationary and available when required.
When I worm about words, I come to know all sorts of things about our own behavior and machinations.
Marketers have for long been harping on ‘creating experiences’ and ‘going beyond the product’.
My question:
Is product a part of the experience? Or, is experience a part of the product?
We have Venn diagrams and we have sets and subsets and such concepts and theories. And yet when it comes to behaving, operating and moving in this world to organize ourselves and accomplish certain things, these concepts can lead us astray.
If product is a part of the experience, then experience would need a name and need a software like charting of paths and protocols. Once that is done experience becomes the product or part of the product. In which case, it would be great to begin with the premise that ‘experience is a part of the product’. And then look at how expansive or how narrow you want the experience to be for your customers. Then you look at effectiveness, productivity and efficiency and other measurements that you have.
What motivates you?
The question feels incomplete even though it can be answered.
Book with a riveting title.
Names.
A unique word.
A couplet.
Fresh morning air.
The thought of running.
Ideas that swirl in my head early morning.
Looking at a lovely face.
A good night’s sleep.
Jump squats with weights.
Motivation is hidden in so many moments. And often I only figure the ‘what’ long after the moments have passed by.
Can we ask a question like, “What motivates the body to breathe?”
Motivation is often as obvious or unobvious as that. Body has its reasons but it may not have the words often.
What Justice Gautam Patel means:
STRAY DOG = MOVING DOG
That means:
NON-STRAY = SLEEPING (effectively, Stationary or Non-moving dogs. Or, Show-pieces)
Now I get it.
STRAY DOG = RAPIDLY REPRODUCING DOG
High Court guys feed the dogs to keep them sleeping. Dogs sleep and go astray and reproduce. That is why they are STRAY DOGS.
Beauty = Organization + Neatness in Organization
Elegance = Organization + Moving in and through Organization
Great Experience = Beauty + Elegance
Does that resonate?
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
In any sphere of life now, there are only 2 types of activities left.
1) Mobile Phone Activities, and
2) Non-mobile Phone Activities
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.
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:
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?
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.
