‘Incomplete’ is a far more powerful expression for me to hide under than ‘imperfect’.

Both, the incomplete, and the work in progress, stimulate a critic. The critic wants to stand at the end of the world.

It occurs to me, at 153rd chapter of HHhH, that the Nazi system was a rigorous and vigorous list-making machine. List, the favorite bureaucratic tool, most often horrifying.

Some very difficult measurements but being aware of such measurements may just help the body’s state of being:
- The frequency of ‘exiting one sitting position and entering another’
- The frequency of ‘exiting a sitting position and entering a non-sitting position’
- The amount of time spent in the same sitting before exiting
Wow! I could articulate such measurements.

Cultivation of disdain for reading that’s one of…
Cultivation of disdain for reading, that’s one of the successes of Indian education system.
The association of what they call ‘textbook’ with classroom, with important questions, with getting marks through the excruciating process of insane amount of temporary memorizing for exams, with funny teachers, makes sure that most of the youngsters look at ‘reading’ with utter disdain.
Reading means ‘padhaaku’, means ‘spectacles’, means ‘impractical’, means ‘theoretical’, means ‘philosophical’.
Reading doesn’t mean ‘hard work of attempts at understanding’, ‘diligence’, ‘intelligence’, ‘smartness’, ‘improvement’, ‘beholding’, ‘observation’.
So one of the most basic, accessible, important, entertaining and rewarding skills for growth in one’s life is found to be one of the most repulsive activities among youngsters.
This, my friends, is the success of India’s education system.

It still doesn’t mean ‘read’, the double-blue-ticks in Whatsapp. All it means is ‘seen inside the chat window’. In the age of forwards, only ‘read’ has value.
Composed by you, it will be read. And the one who still doesn’t read, can rot. Worry not about the double-blue-ticks.

Actually folks are getting ill in a peculiar sort of way across the world, and we attribute it to what we call as Corona virus.
Since a person like me isn’t into micro-biology, there’s no way for me to observe, identify and read stuff that makes sense. And so it is virus. Let it be virus. I don’t believe it. That’s the way life is.

Sleeping – 8 hrs
Standing – barely or less than half an hour in the entire day (apart from standing for the purpose of lifting weights)
Sitting – You can imagine!
Moving on 2 legs – 1.5 hours hopefully (apart from moving for the purpose of lifting weights)I won’t be surprised if Yoga emerged as a negation of standing, and accentuation of sitting for the purpose of good health, and experiencing a lot of moving without moving much, because it is quite obvious that we can’t move all through the day. Do farmers Yoga? Does the roaming vegetable vendor Yoga?

Looking for precision in an activity may help us turn anything into a sport. But why turn it into a sport? Perhaps it helps in keeping records. It helps in observing improvements of a certain kind. You against you. You against an invisible you. You against an invisible other.

Reminded me of something I posted yesterday.
‘As one progresses in practice, there are nuances added and these can go really deep. The only thing that becomes apparent as I spend more time in this pose is that vast tracts of body and mind remain out of reach. On the outside the asanas are better looking but internally, there are deserts of silence. It’s a slow progression, or perhaps a progressing slowly as physical prowess gives way to a more detached viewing. One of curiosity and experimentation.’

Say I got terribly shortchanged. Unfair and this and that. So what! How many more years will I float among these images? There may be, who knows, plenty of more embarrassments to walk into and experiment and judge and have fun.

Thickness of bunched up leaves of a book are a good measure of progress through and into a story. Kindle just offers a number, sometimes it’s called ‘loc’. Wtf!

So WordPress congratulates me on 200 posts. Funny. Most are just line or two. By my standards, some folks write a 100 posts in 1 single post. Measurements are funny things. Beware!
