morning boy's letters on serious matters and commentary on funny things aplenty
Indian schools are time suckers. The entire education system probably is.
They have a hard time promoting ‘reading’ among the kids. And on top of that, they do not leave much time for the kids to develop any sort of reading habit.
2 situations below:
Schools + Incompetent Teachers + Mobile Phones + Tuition Classes
Poor Schools + Poor Towns + Poor Villages + Poor Teachers
In my search for good books, I’ve come across book titles like these:
You Are Born Funny Or The Funniness Gene
I’ve made that title up actually. But I guess you get the drift. These are titles with effectively two titles or names for the book. ‘Or’ does that job.
I’ve been thinking about giving a name or label to my kind of pants which I want to market and sell some time soon. And I boarded the ‘or’ naming train today morning. Here’s the result:
Aircan Or Soni’s Chinos Or Type 475 Or…
I love this sort of naming.
I know I know what I’ve triggered here. A barrel full of questions!
What would you actually write on the label since the space is tiny?
What would be the domain name if you name your pants misusing the facility of ‘or’?
What would want the potential customers to remember?
What would you write on the social media posters? And in the social media posts?
O God, it’s not a book, they are pants! Why are you doing this!
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
No no no no no!
I am not going to list these events. Listing is a necessity and a pain, all the same. And then the horror of recounting positive events!
I discovered Richard J Murphy on Youtube. And I happily watched 2 of his videos today. And he is so so so good in explaining a lot of things.
Watching good videos is a positive event?
Do check him out.
“We exist in shapes!”
One could even write that “we exist in space”. Plural? “We exist in spaces.”
What’s the difference?
Difference between mood, temperament, feelings, emotion?
Insane answers available on the web. Horror!
And all the while I have been reading and uttering these words without any serious thought.
Anger, is that a feeling or an emotion?
Wow, I can’t distinguish between these!
I took these for granted. Or rather was so confident of understanding these. Curveball!

What are your feelings about eating meat?
Feelings are typically unpleasant.
But lions also eat meat. They do the killing themselves. They are the gods for their prey, in a way. Sometimes, gods fail but they succeed on enough number of occasions. So yeah, they do the killing.
Typically human meaters do not do the killing. It was a skill once well-spread. Now much less so.
I read somewhere that because of the fashion of meating there are places that have become lakes of pig-shit and humans have slipped into these lakes and drowned and died too.
Current? This moment? These 15 minutes?
People who encourage me through their efforts in pursuing my ideas, my curiosities?
My current most favorite people are those who made such a thing and made it possible for me to buy.
Amazing!
I just came across a Youtube video titled “How Repressed Emotions Trigger Autoimmune Disease”. I think I believe it.
So if you have any autoimmune disease, it would be right for you to ask, “Has any emotion been repressed?”
The next question then is, “Which is that emotion / which are those emotions that have been repressed?”
Obviously when you ask such questions, you will attempt to answer in words.
So the next question is, “Is it possible to identify and name the repressed emotion(s)?”
It is a big deal. It is worth the exercise. No?
Meeting? The question must also state the time-limit for such a meeting, isn’t it?
I would like to meet many historical figures; is that greed?
Okay, I would like to meet Gutenberg, and if the meeting extends for years I don’t mind.
Have these storage devices and memory cards and chips matched paper in durability?
Is this the right time to assess this at all?
I see what’s happening.
Early morning Youtube bingeing spins my head. The sounds, voices, background music… Quieter mornings are better mornings.
Blog-portability is an issue. Have you ever tried doing that?
If I want to preserve these thoughts I type on this wordpress blog, I shall have to pay for the storage every single year. No?
I can write all such stuff in my notebooks (paper notebooks I mean) but then I can’t share with you, I can’t spread the stuff I write. I have to pay a price to spread, to share.
What is your favorite place to go in your city?
Couple of kilometers away from my residence, there is this huge garden with a long stretch of pathway paved with hard clay, and shaded with huge canopies of trees on the sides of this pathway. I haven’t done sprints there but I have had walks on different occasions.
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
I never thought about this.
But now that I am compelled to think, I want to give this impression:
We can have a good conversation and we can walk long while talking.
The trouble is I often meet people in places where I find them sitting and sipping and eating.
