Handling limitations

 Handling limitations 


A new born baby is yet_to_think like we grown ups do ๐Ÿ™….   ( No O.S./operating system, no software, and no data base/stored_memory, as yet.

Intellect functions unfettered ๐Ÿ˜œ….

The kid discovers a pattern….

Mom feeds her milk when the baby cries๐Ÿ‘

A non_verbal nascent concept is vaguely, fuzzily formed “cry.., to get milk”.  If it works, data is with integrity ๐Ÿ‘, memory recall is situation based. 


Extension of the concept :  if food is a response to my crying, why not toys, etc ( intellect explores, new areas of application of the available sole concept).  


Next level:  try using the concept “cry to get whatever i want”, adding a limitation faced by mom.   Wait for the right moment ๐Ÿ‘.  When mom is surrounded by many people ( wedding, hotel, crowded bus or train etc) “use” that Crying_technology as an emotional blackmail ๐Ÿ˜œ.  ( Marlon Brando in “Godfather” movie: “I make a proposal which the other can't refuse”.  Blackmail!)



Adult stage intellect: 

Fiction : villain in a movie retorts to a heroine “ you removed the bullets. I am surrounded by cops. But only we both know that the gun is empty. I tape your mouth, point this gun on your head, walk off ๐Ÿ‘”( limitations overcame). 

Real life:  the boss, unwilling to deny permission to leave early( my spouse needed to reach home before our 8 years old son finds the door locked, returning home from school), and instead imposed a ‘limitation’ saying “you may go early, but only after knowing the fate of upcountry cheques we presented in the local clearing”. Her motherly affection forced her intellect to handle this limitation ๐Ÿ˜œ. She prepared the envelope with the address superscribed and said “this envelope works in both the possible situations, whether the cheque is paased or failed ๐Ÿ‘. Only the  contents differ, not the size of the paper ๐Ÿ™‚. Thank you for the permission Sir ๐Ÿ™ “..  …. That boss got clean blowled. ๐Ÿคฃ 



Situational limitations:  a doctor’s car caught in a traffic jam at a red signal ….

Doctor can think “I am in the car, I am not ‘the’ car ๐Ÿ˜œ. I can bloody well get out, find an alternative to reach hospital, do the surgery, save the life ๐Ÿ™”( option, handling a limitation imposed by situation)

Ancient desi guys of Bharat: Similar to the doctor, but much deeper: ”This body is mine, I reside in this body๐Ÿ‘. But I am not ‘the’ body๐Ÿ˜œ…  Let me use the body when it suits, and park this body  to  go out and do what I want and re-enter the body๐Ÿ™”( Aadi Shankara did  it, and won the argument with Mrs Mishra, wife of the first pontiff of Shringeri mutt).


My teacher:  “Damnit ๐Ÿ˜ก. Do you need a gadget like phone to reach me from a distance? Are you not insulting the ancient spiritual tools and technologies I taught you???”(His exact words were highly polished and soft ๐Ÿ™.  I merely used my interpretation of what he ‘meant’.  No harm in trying, I thought ๐Ÿค”.  But the confirmation came from ‘random freshers’ for whom I had volunteered for backup support “sir, it's a waste of time to keep on seeking our teacher's confirmation every time, about your response to our queries. He sounds like a Jherox/Xerox/fotocopy of your words a fortnight ago ๐Ÿคฃ. Now onwards, it's enough if you reply”( too many instances to dismiss it as coincidence.  The difficult remains, however, to satisfy my “logical mind”.   Non_verbal thought_communications are like that baby responding innocently, in a no mind state๐Ÿ™. Either via impulse or via intellect.



Modern science tells us, “use a greater force to oppose gravity and lift off or fly”. Ancient desi guys thought “intensify, focus and direct own pranic energy and become UNAVAILABLE to gravity ๐Ÿ˜œ”( tougher task, but eco_friendly, cost_effective and everlasting technology ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™



Unlimitedly yours,

psn(5 Nov 2026)



PostScript limitations:  I didn't learn how to invoke my intellect at_will.  As an alternative, I tried concept based thinking, as often as I can.  And, no hard_wired concepts ๐Ÿ™.  That's what worked for me ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

When money decides our relationship

 When money decides our relationship 



I saw a ‘forward’


Quote:

*In one night, in the ICU of a big Corporate Hospital in Delhi, two sons lose their fathers.*


For the two exhausted families, finally a shock bill comes: a suspicious charge of ₹11.5 lakh.


At 1:30 am midnight, the hospital's billing manager throws the last weapon:


"We will not release the body from the mortuary until the full bill is paid. Pay the money, otherwise the body will remain in the freezer."


*Son A* panics, cries with tears, and at 2:00 am early morning pawns his mother's gold jewellery and pays the money at the cash counter.


*Son B* says only 2 calm sentences.


After 25 minutes, the Medical Superintendent himself comes in person, sends off the hearse, hands over the death certificate, and releases the father's body without taking even one rupee.


Same hospital. Same ₹11.5 lakh pending bill. Same midnight mortuary lock.


*The only difference?* ↓


_*"Mortuary Hostage" trap.*_


Hospitals know that families in deep grief will be psychologically weak:


Relatives are waiting at home, funeral arrangements have to be made, you won't have the mental courage to argue about the medical bill at midnight.


So the billing desk uses the dead body as financial collateral to collect money immediately.


_*Legal truth:* A dead body is not a commercial property._

According to Indian law, the hospital has no right of lien over a human corpse.


Using a dead patient as a bargaining weapon is not debt collection - it is considered a criminal offence.


*Son A* succumbed to emotional blackmail.


*Son B* knew the laws and police procedures.


Here is a 3-step legal guide to break the illegal hostage trap of the hospital:


_*1. Supreme Court & NHRC Legal Protection*_


Look the Medical Superintendent in the eye and tell him the law:


According to the important judgments of the Supreme Court (_Pandit Parmanand Katara_ and _Mool Chand Trust_), under Article 21 of the Constitution, the right to live with dignity extends beyond life - a corpse cannot be turned into collateral for a debt.


Further, the Ministry of Health's _Charter of Patients' Rights_ (endorsed by the National Human Rights Commission) clearly states:


"A hospital cannot refuse to release a patient's dead body for any reason."


The hospital has the right to file a civil case for a legitimate outstanding amount, but has no legal authority to detain the corpse.


_*2. Criminal Law Pressure (Dial 112)*_


If the admin desk still refuses to open the mortuary:


Take the phone and keep it on the counter and say:


"According to Indian criminal law, holding a body hostage to extort money is a non-bailable offence:


- Wrongful confinement (BNS Section 127 / IPC Section 340)

- Extortion (BNS Section 308 / IPC Section 384)

- Disrespect to a corpse (BNS Section 301 / IPC Section 297)"


Tell them: "I am calling 112 right now. Let the local SHO come and examine why you are using the mortuary to extort money."


No hospital MD or Medical Director would want a police team entering the lobby at midnight. The mortuary lock will open immediately.


*3. "Without Prejudice" Undertaking*


Never sign a blank cheque or hand over original property documents to take the body out.


If the bill has arbitrary or inflated charges:


1. Submit a simple signed declaration:


"I am receiving the body of [Name] without prejudice. The disputed billing is subject to independent medical audit and legal review."


2. Ask for the original death certificate and Death Summary immediately (mandatory under Clinical Establishment Acts).


3. Take the disputed bill directly to the District Consumer Commission.


Courts usually impose several lakhs as punitive compensation on hospitals that use corpses as collection weapons (e.g., _Rashmi Mohapatra vs Apollo Hospital_).


*Son A* lost his family jewellery due to fear.


*Son B* knew the law and took his father home with full dignity.



Save this. Someone you know will need this in their darkest hour.”


UnQuote….



My response:



Trust will be lost, in the standby person of a patient, and the 'risk' taken by a doctor  hoping that the standby person will pay the expenses of a last_attempt to save life will be honoured.



Unending game ๐Ÿ™.... "Who will trust 1st?"


For thousands of years until 2 centuries ago, the native doctor ( vaidJee) didn't charge a patient for his 'services'.  Cost of medicines were borne by 'someone' who could afford, either the vaidya or patient's well-wishers ๐Ÿ™.



When paisa decides the relationship, trust is the FIRST casualty ๐Ÿ™

Seeking

 Seeking 


There is a 'Natural order of things' ๐Ÿ™ 



A human being, a being of volitional consciousness, naturally begins to admire Creation (bulk of our sight seeing, pilgrimages etc are therefore owing to our emotional receptivity and the deepening of it ๐Ÿ™).



Next level:  the creation overwhelms a person to such great extent that, ......  now he is interested in the CREATOR himself ๐Ÿ˜‚



That thirst/inquisitiveness/seeking/whatever....is really insatiable, uncompromising, unstoppable ๐Ÿ™



The history of ancient 'seekers' bears testimony to this ๐Ÿ‘. 


For seeking of such kind, the preparation is going to be a bit rigorous ๐Ÿ˜ฅ.



( Its just a thought ๐Ÿ™)

Practices Versus Practical

 Practices Versus Practical


I was tutored into practices right from my kid age. It improved the dependability on me for the elders around, to manage me ๐Ÿ˜œ 


Just managing is a bit different from caring and parenting. Practice a kid to do a certain routine and managing that kid becomes easy effortless and no_tension ๐Ÿ˜‚. Even as an adult, that kid psychologically gets enslaved to a certain practice/pattern of behavior ๐Ÿ™. ( I recall a cartoon joke: a thief chased by a cop makes use of the practice of the cop to stand in attention ๐Ÿ˜‚. He puts on a song of the national anthem at a way side shop. The cop is habituated/hard-wired to respond to the anthem  and mechanically stands still , giving ample time for the thief to run away out-of-sight).


Somehow, my ‘chemistry’ was unable to adhere to any kind of imposition on me, in the name of a practice. I didn't develop any aversion either, to any practice ๐Ÿ™.  I got a word for my oddity when I became a teenager ๐Ÿ‘. I am being “practical” about this practices.  Luck favoured me in one routine practice in my household, when it suited me practically too๐Ÿ˜œ.  I can eat food whenever I am told to eat๐Ÿ‘. I am hungry enough, not just an empty stomach when it is breakfast/lunch/dinner time๐Ÿ‘. 


At home, wishing a ‘good morning’ was never a practice. Whereas at my school, it was imposed as a “chorus” ๐Ÿ˜‚. At workplace, I merely ‘opted’ to wait till the other guy squeezes out a return gud_mourning out of me, by promoting me with his own ๐Ÿ˜‚


Irreligious Hinduism, into which I was born seemed to reassure me with “Hey kid, there are no rigid practices here, even about a ‘belief’ in ‘Gawd’. You are free to use your own intellect, and only that will work, not your mind, in being practical ๐Ÿ‘” 

It is thus, that I discovered the justification for Brahmins consuming meat and liquor, on certain occasions during certain rituals, like offering their physiology as a magnifier to the invoked departed ancestor ๐Ÿ™. AWESOME technology, at its peak levels of subtlety ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™.

I cannot be expected to remain a vegetarian, if my employer transfers me to their office at North pole๐Ÿ˜œ. I won't remain, if I try to remain as a vegetarian ๐Ÿ˜œ….   If we can afford being “practical”( a very polite word for “being intelligent”,  it makes sense to see that my body is designed+structured to digest vegetables ( chewing teeth, part- processing with saliva, long tubes to-from stomach etc ๐Ÿ™), and therefore, the body, brain, mind and intellect can coordinate better with a vegetarian diet ๐Ÿ‘. When “survival” is the priority, grab and swallow anything that the stomach can ‘tolerate’ for_a_while, even junk_food. ( It is to tickle the intellect ๐Ÿ™ that I coined a “silly” koschan/question, like “why is the offerings to a Hindu deity usually a junk_food, when the bulk of dishes for death anniversary rituals are ‘healthy'??” …  Sadly, the modern mind is made to practice “don't use your intellect ๐Ÿ˜ก…  Ask A.I. instead ๐Ÿ‘”).


Spiritual “practices” are countless ๐Ÿ™. Even about sitting quiet, there are some 500 ways ๐Ÿ˜œ, I am told๐Ÿ™.

( I did an experiment with 1 ‘practice’ called suryanamaskar while trying it on a friend who was “scheduled” for a major spinal surgery and the doctor had instructed not-to-bend forward till then ๐Ÿ‘.  After a few weeks of the broken format of ancient ’practice’ , to be practical, utilitarian and medically necessary, the surgery got obviated ๐Ÿ™. Medical consultation was oftener than ‘practice’ to insure/ensure avoidance of any misadventure ๐Ÿ˜œ). 


For sure, I understood that none of the spiritual practices will work unless we MAINTAIN awareness and do it as if it is our first-time and not out of any practice ๐Ÿ™ ( this Composure of the mind, happens to be a main hurdle! Mind and intellect seem to oppose each other about the concepts of “practice & practical”. 


It's a good practice to avoid responding/replying/commenting on my blogs๐Ÿ‘….  Other practices remain stable and firm in its place, which pampers a mind located in its comfort zone. ( Sadly, a genuine Guru is one who Unsettles a mind, disturb the mind 24/7 out of its comfort zone ๐Ÿ™).


Practically yours,

psn( 3 Nov, 2026)



Practice of ‘tail piece’ now, ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Practical computing today

Bulk of “debugging” has turned into a practical_practice of cut-and-paste of a set of program codes, from an old software ๐Ÿ‘. Intellect is sleeping —with a sign “do not disturb me”

My dirtiest habit

 My dirtiest habit 


I resort to utmost cunningness when it is about helping someone to grow even a micromillimeter, spiritually ๐Ÿ˜œ ( I am okay with any punishment I will get for this one act of cunningness ๐Ÿ™). 


I used first person “my” in the title ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. That's my cunningness.


My habit:  I tend to keep justifying whatever 

I did….

I am doing ….. or,

I plan to do …..

That's my dirtiest habit which prevents me from evolving further in my spiritual bijness ๐Ÿ™ 

( Justification has very limited use, existentially)

It's a hard experience.

I am trying to CONSCIOUSLY avoid obliging to this habit.   Avoiding a habit before it starts functioning is not going to be easy. ( A joke : Even the word “habit”.....  Try bit-by-bit, alphabetically ๐Ÿคฃ….   

‘H’abit  

‘A’bit remains 

‘Bit’ remains

‘It’ remains ๐Ÿ˜‚  )



( readers are at liberty to figure out “what's wrong with trying to justify/substantiating each and every action of ours”....  It's a hyper_sensitive nerve๐Ÿ˜œ. I won't do that. “เคฆुเค–เคคी เคฐเค— เคชเคฐ เคนाเคฅ เคฐเค– เคฆिเคฏा” wala mistake )



It worked for me ( minimising the habit of justifying myself ๐Ÿ˜œ)



Liberally yours,

Civic sense

 Civic sense


We guys in India look at this sense (civic) as an alien ๐Ÿ˜œ


We love chaos, quite unofficially.


Look at this unique qualification “this Mr X drives through the middle of our “Y” metro City and still he didn't meet any accident since last 10 years๐Ÿ‘” ( the guys who give a PhD are zero competition to this ‘award’ ๐Ÿ˜œ..,). Driving licence is not a qualification certificate ๐Ÿคฃ, in real life ๐Ÿ˜ž.


We protest ONLY  about a competitive exam, but NEVER about a qualifying exam ๐Ÿ‘, if there is any kind of foul play like ‘leak’ of question paper, etc…. ( Best example: There is a test for knowledge of traffic rules before a driving test for a driving licence. Ever heard of any question paper leak? Does it mean there is no leak? It's because ‘anyway the licence holder is going to drive through only a Chaos….not a ‘traffic’, so that leak is inconsequential to both sides. And co-examinees simply don't care about others๐Ÿ‘. A tout who does the job always has the (ever lasting) last_laugh, when a leak-culprit elsewhere gets punished ๐Ÿ˜œ.


We ‘discuss’ civic sense only when we do not end up victimising anyone for the lack of it ๐Ÿ™.  We owe this attitude to our ancestors who butchered the core values in our Irreligious Hinduism, quite unawares ๐Ÿ˜œ. 


The worst victims of our present day's lack of civic sense are those who are honest to the ‘core’ ( they hang on to honesty and uprighteousness even_when nobody is watching ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™). Until recently, an honest guy suffers misery if he is a staff in most of the government offices, especially where bribes abound๐Ÿ‘. This guy is like a thorn in the neck ( perennial source of anxiety๐Ÿ˜ฅ).



There was a time long long ago, in Bharat, when things like Civic sense, freedom, human or civil rights etc were superfluous ๐Ÿ˜œ.  The unison factor replaced all these, INCLUDING a need_for_unity, alongside the redundancy of enacted laws which was obviated by the time tested tool of banishment/เคฌเคนिเคท्เค•ाเคฐ ๐Ÿ‘. The seed is still available,though dormant. Bharat's heritage as a spiritual destination ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™.  A personal experience of one's own spirit within obviates all kinds of civility ๐Ÿ‘. 


My guess is, we are a miracle among other nations, when none of the logical yardsticks are able to figure out ‘how this country runs so well despite so much chaos everywhere’ ๐Ÿ˜œ


I am over_awed by the unanimity in the commuters of Bombay_local_trains( I don't know about “Mumbai”)๐Ÿ™.  A mystic sense of brotherhood (only during the travel, a mystery in itself) demolishes every logic to explain the miraculous crowd, traveling thus, every 365 days an year, unmindful of whether there can be a solution for this super_chaos. Even I found travel through it in my kid days as ‘no probs’ ๐Ÿ‘)


( I am myself unable to figure out how and why my spiritual pursuit survived so many decades, when  everything ‘needed’ to deter me, had always been there, around me ๐Ÿคฃ…  Obviously, my blogs, though a reflection of my experience only, don't impress a reader to question me, my blogs or at least my lack of civic_sense in writing such blogs ๐Ÿ˜œ. I failed to impress even my neighbours, when I did not use the storm drainage to drain the sewage from my home ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™. By themselves, none bothered to notice it ๐Ÿ˜œ).



Senselessly yours,

psn(30 Oct, 2026)



1 sure symptom of true friendship

 1 sure symptom of true friendship 



( Applicable to me, since I experienced a deep emotion, out of that fellows illogical act ๐Ÿ™)


A ‘build up’( ๐Ÿ˜œ):

Doctors grab at a “sure” symptom when tests are likely to be elusive in a diagnosis ( I don't know the parameters of ‘true’ friendship ๐Ÿ˜ญ)


A well paid nurse in an ICU for a patient, struggles to_be_with a patient….when the doctor says “50-50 only– Wait for 24 hours to decide even what can be done ๐Ÿ˜ณ” ( even that expert nurse might turn away from the patient, for 3 to 5 minutes… she knows, “no risk for her job” ๐Ÿ˜œ)



Logic:

I am a very stupid guy. It's hard to please me with obligations ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ.  Forget “funding” my needs/desires/luxuries.( I can buy my ‘needs’. At my age wants/desires are a bit below the list of needs ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™)

That leaves ‘me’ with very little ‘tools’ to test a friend's “true” friendship. 


Fact :

One crazy guy managed to surmount all these hurdles.

He demonstrated (inadvertently though) something that constitutes as a fool_proof symptom of his true friendship ๐Ÿ‘ (unconditional because, neither of us find even a “scope” out of what he chose to do ๐Ÿ˜ณ, as a ‘benefit’ of any kind ๐Ÿ˜ฅ)



The act : this guy didn't leave me alone for a week( that means, 24/7), during my exclusive visit to just_be_with_him ๐Ÿ˜ณ ( no agenda). Oh yes! I was ‘allowed’ to be by_myself in the bathroom and toilet ๐Ÿ‘. But at night, he slept beside me ๐Ÿ™‚


This happened a few years ‘ago’.  No reaction or response from the ‘few’ to whom I told this๐Ÿ‘. Therefore it is harmless even as a blog.



Rare kind of act,( though it  is damn easy for even a fool to replicate), … I am tempted to ‘treat it as sacred’( hence, no clues from me about ‘who that guy is?’... It shouldn't matter to a reader๐Ÿ‘).


An easy symptom (when a friend is a ‘difficult guy to please’ like me๐Ÿ˜œ) and yet rare to become a choice of ‘friendly guys’, is precious for me, ๐Ÿ™ 


That guy simplifies his choices. That must have empowered him to ‘celebrate’ my proximity, when there is no scope for any thing else…  “just be with ‘psn’ as much as possible ๐Ÿ‘” .   And he did just that ๐Ÿ˜ฅ.  ( It was me, who turned out this ‘beyond logic’ wala tough gesture as a true sign of genuine dosti ๐Ÿ™)



Hopefully yours,

Information Versus Advice

 Information Versus Advice 



“Take my advice, its of no use to me”

( I don't see this joke becoming Viral ๐Ÿ˜ž)


I feel I ought to update my status on the social media ( WhatsApp etc) “please take back your advice, it's not going to work for me EITHER” ๐Ÿ˜‚



Information:   labels on medicine packs “For external application only” . Doesn't even ADVISE “your funeral, if you are still stubborn enough to gulp it ๐Ÿ˜ก”



My guess:  until at least 300 years ago, only evolved guys indulged into using the language as an interface of communication for conveying “advices” (What we refer to as scriptures were by ONLY evolved guys. Even historians were having the ‘basic common sense’ to make sure that they were EMOTIONALLY EQUIPOISED before documenting what they saw as ‘worth of history’).


The best ever DIY kit ๐Ÿ˜œ 

It deals with the gadget that's supposed to be everlasting ๐Ÿ˜œ ( our life energy ticking inside us ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. Soul/atma/spirit/any nonsense/etc.  The author was too humble to add his name even ๐Ÿ™.  We call it as “Patanjali’s” yoga Sutra. It's a unique scripture because it qualifies as both—advice and information ๐Ÿ™ 

Obviously, the book has_to_be tough to a primitive, inexperienced mind ๐Ÿ™ 



Literacy in our school/college today, is leaning closer towards information. Education is left to the vagaries of the situation ๐Ÿ˜ญ, when very few are even bothered, to look at Parenting related to the mind & intellect ๐Ÿ™.



We have decided to OUTSOURCE both…information and advice to A.I. 

( we didn't create ourselves, for sure ๐Ÿ™.   Whichever entity did it, created the universe, has given us the freedom to choose the ‘what we do with it’ of the resources made available to us. Some of us are aware of ‘few’ misdeeds of our past like addiction to commercial thoughts, exploiting the ecology etc.  That ‘creator’ didn't Advise us, directly atleast ๐Ÿ™. He trusts in his creation, despite a few of us negating even the existence of ‘some creator’ ๐Ÿ˜œ, oblivious to self-contradiction involved)



If I seem to make sense, though it is ONLY an information that I gathered, is it worth investigating/investing in this information?(Investments are subject to market risks๐Ÿ™. Consult your intellect before you invest— like you do about any of my blogs๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™).



Informatively yours,

A reason to un-exist

 A reason to un-exist


A confession:  this applies ONLY for me ๐Ÿ™


Disclaimer:  any freak/stray chance of a reader's mind find any tiny speck of appeal in my ‘way of reasoning, unto myself only’ is purely coincidental and unintentional ๐Ÿ™



Of late, my post retirement life has persuaded me to re-prioritize my priorities.


I find my body complying with the design of nature's embedded software ( a tree/plant/etc is energetic in growth till it touches it's own designated level of ‘maturity’. Then onwards, it diverts its energies towards preservation and propagation of species. Third stage, it surrenders itself to the degeneration process, as per gazette notification of nature). 

Humans are beings of Volitional consciousness ๐Ÿ™, and therefore need to make_a_conscious_choice about this ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Ancient Bharat had witnessed evolved guys. They merely took to forest dwelling ๐Ÿ™( “vanaprastha”). 

I am unable to opt relocation to forest (despite a recent incident of a field awardee from Russia, choosing a hermitage of a forest, with his aged mom—as reported in news media ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™).


But I owe it to my fellow humans that I don't impose myself on them, when the mutual incompatibility is glaringly visible ๐Ÿ™. 


Under the existent situation, I am obliged to do my best unto them. And it has to be ‘within’ the framework of existing social norms, so as to absolve my fellow beings from any kind of possible-negativity as  a lingering residue towards me ๐Ÿ™ ( a joke: a miser tortured his clients with exorbitant rates of interest all his life, due to sheer sadism. When he sensed death, he gathered his victims “see, i am about to die๐Ÿ™. I wish to atone my misdeeds of torturing all of you all my life ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Please use a long bamboo stick inserted through my mouth, coming out of my other end of my dead body, to carry me to the cremation ground “. Villagers thought “good riddance!๐Ÿ˜“. Last wish. Atonement. Lets oblige him”. They carried him on a stout, long bamboo stick. On the way, the police stopped them and said “you all are under arrest. He sent a letter informing that he is likely to be tortured to death with a bamboo stick thus. We caught you ‘red handed’ in this act”....( Joke over ๐Ÿ™…  I don't want to end up like that sadist ๐Ÿ˜œ)



Un_exist :  I become as inconspicuous as possible ๐Ÿ™.  Reduce my interactions to the bare minimum necessary ๐Ÿ‘. The grocer is a modern mind. He is ‘tuned’ to focus only on the commercial aspect, stoically towards emotions ๐Ÿ™ ( 99% of today's minds are engaged only in thoughts which can be easily traced to some kind of commercial value ๐Ÿ™  I am able to make use of this composure of minds, to minimise my presence, by confining my wants and desires to be below the levels of my needs to keep my body and soul together ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‘). 

No “excuses” now, for the cunningness residing in my memory ๐Ÿ˜œ.  


A win-win situation for all.


( Even this stupid blogging activity was under a severe scrutiny, to see if it is intrusive ๐Ÿ™.   But then, its like any grain of sand in the vast desert of data stored in the cloud technology ๐Ÿ‘.  A.I. is the supreme court, of late, empowered to sentence my blogs to death ๐Ÿ‘.  I just fade out naturally ๐Ÿ˜‚)



I don't even ‘explain’ myself about my un_exist to those who tolerated me thus far. I don't exist in their experience. Their minds are sufficiently busy, only then  to be reminded of me, at all. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™. ( We saw movies describing zombies as ‘undead’. Scary beings ๐Ÿ˜‚.  ‘Un-exist’ is my own idea, not a valid phrase).



Inconspicuously yours,

Process

 Process 



A funny interaction with a close friend.


Me : I complicate it a bit for maths guys 



A eats 2  circular pizzas of 5 inch diameter (instead of one 9 inch  diameter)


B     eats  2 squareones of 5 inch diagonal instead of single 9 inch diagonal.



Both lose ๐Ÿ‘


Who loses more, proportional to the size?


Friend: Explain with working to pass it on to him ( a kid) tomorrow. ( not his ‘area’ of operation about it, says friend)



Me: Youngsters should learn it on their own ๐Ÿ™



Examples/problems/sums are meant to test whether they grasped the concept …..of "perimeter " around a circle, square or rectangle ๐Ÿ™


If a teacher 'does' the working, they learn regurgitation, instead of concept ๐Ÿ™


Friend: Okay 



Me:  Whether it is breath-watching 

or

Looking at a maths problem....


Quick fix solutions don't last ๐Ÿ˜œ( beyond scoring in an eggjam/exam)



The mind has to quieten, thereby paving way for the intellect to observe and instruct the brain (physical organ) to examine the applicability of related concept(which is to-be-retrieved from the memory of the mind ๐Ÿ™). 


Such invocation of the resources ( memory) from the mind and the imagination of future possibilities (a sequential access of the mind, empowered by a 'well-tamed' positive emotion ( again the resource of the mind), supervised by the intellect and processed by the brain, is what we experience as a discovery ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™



My experience:

I kept doing a practice of expelling air in the lungs using the stomach muscles and the diaphragm muscles, a thousand times ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. My mind just quietened. Intellect 'slowly' woke up "okay, lemme watch'...  Brain's output retrieved a match (from mind's memory) "bird is responding ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿค”". Intellect redirected the brain to 'conduct' a quick analysis, retrieving the data stored related to 'sound' and the concept of vibes designated a 'sound' learnt+stored in physics ๐Ÿ˜œ

Brain quickly processed the inputs gathered 'selectively'( tamed emotions did the trick๐Ÿ˜‚. No over_ambitious wild guess or imagination ๐Ÿ™).

It 'dawned' on the intellect ----  birds sense waves produced outside the range of decibels sensed by human auditory device, ears. They 'respond' to certain vibes๐Ÿ™(not our_Sound). The hectic, mad + crazy+intense pace of bellow-action of my stomach……might have 'triggered' a vibe via nose, which matched the 'need' to respond, by the birds. It responded.


Now, the intellect says " look for the scientific element of repetitiousness also, to make sure that our discovery is not Flawed"

The body obeyed the brain, responding to the messages via neural network ๐Ÿ™


The analysis and re--discovered concept is now a "proud possession of my mind,  in its memory ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ" Intellect said "see, even the process of discovery is sacred ๐Ÿ™. Preserve its sanctity" to which emotions said with an equipoise " เคœो เคนुเค•ुเคฎ เคฎेเคฐे เค†เฅ˜ा"/as you instruct๐Ÿ™)



( I don't really expect any ‘normal’ response to the concluding reply, and intellect prefers to ‘wait and watch ๐Ÿ˜‚)

When a threat or blackmail is useless

 When a threat or blackmail is useless



๐Ÿคฃ


Usually, “emotional blackmail” works when a relationship is not totally commercial.



But when a guy declares openly “I have NOTHING to lose”???? ๐Ÿค”( Like jihadis? ๐Ÿ™)


I faced such a guy once. That incident enriched me with the rarest_of_rare kinds of tools, which I used 3 decades later, when I volunteered to help freshers in a spiritual program.



My readers are anonymous to me ๐Ÿ™. I can only request (blackmail is superfluous) “please tell your own minds, the author has requested to treat the incident as bogus/fictitious, and therefore don't dig deep. Instead look for any value addition based concepts”


Story:

A notorious guy got transferred to my location of workplace. The union_boss warned  me “PSN, I apologise. I bargained for a lesser punishment instead of dismissal, since his family is dependent. Please manage. I named your office, because you are more united”( Damn, I thought, unity is to be punished like this๐Ÿ˜ก)


This guy “D” belongs to the type “ I have nothing to lose”.

I wasn't that type ๐Ÿ™… I am able to visualise a situation where “I am desperate to lose something ๐Ÿ™” (loose motions, and the 4 toilets are engaged. I can't retain the something i want to lose, loose motions ๐Ÿ™).


My boss was disturbed. His power and authority won't work on this guy.

He asked me to handle: ”psn, he's your union_member. Handle him”

I stipulated a “condition” ( like the first ever stenographer, Ganesh did to Vyasa, who dictated Mahabharata)... I told my boss “i I need your approval to assign whatever duty I like, to Mr D”...     Boss said “okay, anyway he is not going to obey anyone ๐Ÿ˜œ”


I told D “I am authorised to allot duty to you. You will sit on this stool, until I ask you to get up and do something. You are free to go for lunch, drinking water and to the toilet. But officially, sit there”

It worked ๐Ÿ‘. He was overjoyed “Ah! Am I not a success! Zero work, yet pay is guaranteed “


3 others, who belonged to D’s cadre, started grumbling “we do even his share of work ๐Ÿ˜ญ”( not true.   He was an extra person, not a replacement. But psychology works differently ๐Ÿคฃ).   I told the 3 “do you not trust me 100%!?.... And you continue to trust me, because it worked for years. Can't you invoke the same trust for just_3 more days ๐Ÿ™,?๐Ÿ˜ฅ”...  They agreed to ignore him enjoying no_work ๐Ÿ‘


4th day ๐Ÿ˜œ

D was no exception to the subtle and totally internalised torture of doing nothing.  He started squirming on the stool the whole day ( those 3 even satiated their sadism with a teaser “stool has thorns? Pricking your bottom? Like to park your bottom on another stool?” etc)


5th day he requested me to go to him (sitting on stool, until told) and said “UNBEARABLE for me. Please allow me to do some work ๐Ÿ™”

I had no ill_will, enmity, hate or anything against him ( it's his physiological design to function his_way, and I am manufactured in my_way).  But, my structural design is programmed to confine D to suit my colleagues. So I stipulated: “okay, but anything that threatens the peace of my class of staff, if you do… I invoke this power to assign you to sit quietly on stool”

He agreed readily.

He discovered the joy of teaming with the 3 unconditionally. Those 3, bitten by the memory of his notoriety, took care not to abuse his cooperation.


I got relocated soon after. But those 3 never wrote to me anything to complain against D.


Story over ๐Ÿ™



I used this experience to help freshers to transcend their problems with sitting quietly ( meditation is torturous, if mind can't be quiet ๐Ÿ˜ฅ)



Inconspicuously yours,
