Structurally yours,
morning boy's letters on serious matters and commentary on funny things aplenty

Deceit is attractive now. And I discover Rene Girard early in the day. Good writers must be discovered early in the day.
The look of numbers as in pictures, and the actual numbers as experienced through voting results.
No spring in legs, but all the spring in notifications and in our response to notifications on mobile phones.
The Count of Monte Cristo! Dialogue writing like that.
We are all just some versions, of our own selves.
2 kinds of English language speakers in India:
One that couples expressive words without any expression. Other that couples expressive words with equally expressive expressions.
Between the 2 ends, may exist a surprising mix of speakers.
Sometimes, I sense we should delay naming. Or we should treat names as temporary.
Compare a book with a computing machine. Once made, the book, as a store of information, requires very little maintenance or ‘running’ to access data. Computing machines on the other hand, require crazy running and repeated replacements, even for storage. And ‘accessing information’ requires a lot of running too.
To understand one’s own self often feels far more terrible than to find oneself in some action.
There are audio visual channels and there are action channels. In the latter, you are always the hero if you develop a sense of looking at yourself just ever so slightly during the action.
Written non-chalantly, every little episode in a Graham Greene work, is mighty.
Portrait screen of mobile, and landscape of laptop, that difference scuttling my plans.
The priority is asking this question, why did I pick the mobile phone, every time I pick it.
‘Remembering’, that’s something that I think about so often. I guess, many of us do.
2 other terms similar to ‘remembering’ are ‘recalling’ and ‘revisiting’.
I prefer using the term ‘revisiting’ instead of ‘remembering’. Actually I find it painful to ‘re-member’. And more so, by means of preparing and viewing lists routinely. Remembering through routine lists is what I call as ‘tyranny of lists’. By no means I am saying that it is ineffective. Folks who manage with lists routinely do a tremendous job. But there are folks like me who can’t take that routine.
When I say ‘revisiting’, though that too involves some pain, the process becomes slightly more ponderous, slightly richer.
But then, the question is always the same: how does one ‘revisit’ without making lists? I start with thinking about ‘yesterday’. And then I move on to ‘the other day…’ I realize I don’t have to write at all on many occasions. But there are occasions when I feel compelled to write in detail. All in all, the good part is the process doesn’t become a routine (and stale), and yet the memory stays fresh and alert to accomplish whatever jobs I am on to.
Now is the time to become more aware about Tibet.
We may not like our own thoughts. That’s how bad truth can be. Rather, usually is.
Most folks habituated with salaried environments, conflate teamwork with democracy.
