Some guys would be like:
In bumper to bumper traffic, because of EVs I am not causing any pollution. I am enviroment-friendly. I take care of everyone around me. I am a caring guy, driving a caring car. I am so amazing. EV EV EV.

With Nike…
Dear Siddharth,
What right do you have to say anything?
With Nike, I just do it.
With your shoe, what to do!

Is Google trusted?
That is an incomplete question. May be it is wrong too.
What will make this question complete? Let me try.
Is Google trusted by all the Indians who use internet?
Do all the Indians who use internet use Google too? That looks an unlikely thing. But the answer to that question may have plenty of interesting things to reveal.
So there are internet users who are Google users and those who are not Google users.
Same can be said for Facebook users and Instagram users and Whatsapp users.
And there would be internet users who are non-FB, non-Insta, non-Whatsapp, non-Google users. What a bunch of folks these would be! Would be interesting to explore and understand these users.

Degree of Master
MBA = Master of Business Administration
After completing the MBA program, youngsters in India, when they bag some jobs, they get designations and titles like Management Trainee, Sales Executive, Customer Service Executive and such.
So after one studies business administration in such a way that one secures a ‘qualification’ and a certificate that reads Master of Funniness, one becomes a trainee or executive.
There’s nothing wrong really in becoming a trainee or executive. It starts somewhere. It’s the name of such education and certification that spins my head.

Floweriness
When was the last time you found flowers obnoxious?
Not flowers, but floweriness is expanding its range of obnoxiousness.
Plastic floweriness.
Floweriness in product descriptions on fashion ecommerce websites.
Floweriness in smiles that lips twist into for selfies.
Floweriness in special effects applied to photographs, especially selfies.
Roll G’s criticism, where flowers and floweriness both go missing… What a world!

Attracting Dumbness
Every situation has the potential to attract its own dumbness.
– Sid SoniAnd humans are just carriers of dumbness. Anyone could be such a carrier. You, myself, anyone.
What do I mean?
I wrote an essay for Women’s Day. Obviously, I want friends and acquaintances to read what I’ve written. So I shared the essay with some of them on Whatsapp.
The essay is titled Platform To Think. Upon receiving the pdf file, a lady responds, “this is for?”
I said, “This is for reading.”
This blog is also for reading. Books are also for reading.
Interested in reading that essay? Here you go.

Labyrinthine Luhmann
Luhmann himself described his theory as “labyrinthine” or “non-linear”, and claimed he was deliberately keeping his prose enigmatic to prevent it from being understood “too quickly”, which would only produce simplistic misunderstandings.

Tyranny of Repetition
Breathing is repetitive.
We are not conscious of the repetition that goes on while breathing, until we pay attention to it for some reason.
All other repetitions are too overbearing for me right now. As if I don’t have the energy to bathe once again, to open an excel sheet and make a statement of estimates for another new business once again.
This chewing wood I am chewing over and over again is still not so bad.
So breathing and chewing chewing wood. Let me go to sleep.

Seeing Variety
My variety is better than yours.
Fashion marketers cater to tastes. They also cater to a craving for ‘seeing variety’.
Aur koi option hai? Nahi hai? Jo option aapke paas nahi hai wahi chahiye mujhe.

Aggressive Reader?
What makes reading a special system of behavior?
Think about it, can you ever be an ‘aggressive’ reader?
The other day I used an expression mad reader in a conversation with a friend. Could I have used aggressive reader?
There is nothing like aggressive reading. Even robots meant to crawl the words can’t be aggressive in crawling. They can be fast, but not aggressive.
That says something about reading shaped behavior.

Understanding Bricks
Lot of construction happening over here in Ahmedabad. Plans become buildings so rapidly.
I see these big grey colored bricks being used for elevation.
When we think of buying a house, do we think what kind of bricks the walls are made of?
Should we bother about some more technical aspects of construction itself?
Or is it just all so safe and rightly done, we don’t need to bother?
Should we get a map of all wires and pipes running hidden throughout the building? Are the builders giving these things for new buildings?
Why don’t we want to know such particulars? Is it boring?

PayU unable to use data
I read someone’s comment: businesses need to keep with up tech.
I countered: tech needs to keep up with businesses.
I’ve been chasing PayU for quite a while. But a little transaction that they’ve tried goofing up got me chasing them all morning today.
These guys are apparently said to be sitting on ‘data’ with which they solve problems. This is the result that the likes of these big tech companies yield. Of course, I am just an anecdote; they have all the data.

Mishinology
There’s this lovely website (website is such a bad matter in such moments), there’s this elegant effort (effort, not so bad as the expression website but is it ambiguous?), ya, so, there’s this effort called Mishinology I came across, and it made me think about what I would call my effort.
They first page says:
The website name “MISHINOLOGY” comes from the Japanese ミシン – mishin, which means “sewing machine”.
In the last few years, I’ve put so much into understanding pants, and then coming up with a design that I would personally want to wear all the time; I plan to manufacture and release these pants for others to wear too.
How should I name my effort? As readily as names come to me, sometimes I really have a hard time. There’s still some time. And I hope I have the names. It is already emerging out of my head in plural. God!

Title of the 2nd Chapter
In Luhmann’s Love as Passion, the 2nd chapter carries this title:
Love as a Generalized Symbolic Medium of Communication
In my life I never thought I would be reading the expression LOVE amidst such words. But then it is Mr Luhmann and he can make it sound dry like this and yet ever intriguing all the same.
And then there are those who do their doctorates in sociology. Hello Mr Phd in Sociology, do you have Mr Luhmann’s felicity and mind to subject and address LOVE this way?

Dear Mr. Luhmann,
Did you ever go to a gym? Did you ever think about exercising and matters like that? Of course, you would have had to walk as a human being who has a body… Reading your thoughts and books gives me a feeling of how much and how intensely you would’ve read on any given day. That would leave almost nothing else for you to do at the end of the day…
Until next time…

Affordances
While reading Luhmann in Love as Passion:
In the course of such evolutionary transformations, word forms, set phrases, adages and precepts may very well continue to be handed down over the generations; however, their meaning changes and with it the way in which they pinpoint a specific referent, encapsulate particular experiences and open up new perspectives.
This sounds similar to what I understand as Affordances.

In Luhmann-esque terms
Autopoiesis of volume, that’s what trading businesses get into and that’s what a lot of B2B businesses strive to get into. O, feels so depressing to think of it. Volume is such a voluminous concept, a voluminous imagination.

Sunlight
Sunlight is an important part of gymming. What I mean is sunrays touching your skin while gymming.
And the lifestyles that have developed now, while gymming, the gym prevents sunrays from touching your skin. In fact, on the contrary, the gym airconditions your skin.
