Good Day All!,
To say thanks, individually to all who had helped me write eventually, is beyond my capacity. People whom, I presume had hurt me, might have helped me more than the other way round ones. Each and every one and each and everything who came across till this time in my life, in an absolute way, had helped me build up energy and fervour, to take up this venture. And at this stage, I will be considering whatever happens in the future also as favourable ones. To me, whether I get readership or not isn't really matters, but the sole purpose is to transcribe whatever I have earned so far and further.
Many people, many books, many songs and many movies have helped and most of them will be mentioned further up in various posts, so I am not taking up this page for that purpose.
But, being from India, I can not avoid mentioning the language Sanskrit here, because, I believe that, I learned a lot through Sanskrit words and definitions, even though I never had a formal education in that language. As I said, I do have only a minimal grasp in this language, but the word-meaning of "Sanskrit "is refined or polished language. So it may have been derived from, some other language or languages. This language definitely had supreme argumentation power, because of its precision and accuracy.
I have to mention three men's names who all had helped me with this language in my life. First one is Sri L. Govinda Menon, who was an accountant to my fathers business, before my teenage. Then Sri Raju Swamy, who was from a reputed Brahmin family of my place, taught me a lot during my early thirties. And presently Sri Sadhguru, whom you may all are familiar with his talks and a foundation headed by him called Isha Foundation. His talks are quite logical. I don't say that I agree to all his viewpoints, but he definitely, manage to sharpen my intellect and I keep dissecting everything!
Thanks for listening and best regards,
George A P.

#007 Archimedes Principle!
Good Day, ALL!
I was keeping this post inactive for so long and sorry for that. Being a sailor, it is quite natural that I may be writing about floatation theory and a lot of mathematical formulae. But actually, it is based on a story I heard about, Archimedes who ran nude to the King's palace, right from the bathtub, quite excited, because he found a solution for the King to verify the purity of the crown the goldsmith made for him.
And we all know that earlier most inventors used to patent their inventions and elicit some royalty depending on the effort/ or the worth of the invention. As far as I know, Rudolph Diesel engine had to come back from death bed and make the Diesel Engine a reality, and the royalty he obtained was for hundred year period as far as I know. Nowadays no inventor is really bothered about patents and all that stuff. As it is during wartime rivalry many inventions were made on strata and they also let out for the public use by nations at an appropriate time. And I am not going into the lurid details/ possibilities of experiments like Higgs-Boson one or many other like 'common stuff' like the internet and capabilities of Android phones with nonremovable battery with 3.7V power cutoff and like.
These are the lyrics by Alan Parsons Project, copied from the internet, based on the Edgar Allan Poe poem for reference,
For my own part
I have never had a thought
Which I could not set down in words
With even more distinctness
Than that with which I conceived it
There is, however, a class of fancies
Of exquisite delicacy
Which are not thoughts
And to which, as yet, I have found it
Absolutely impossible
To adapt to language
These fancies arise in the soul
Alas, how rarely
Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity
When the bodily and mental health
Are in perfection
And at those mere points of time
Where the confines of the waking world
Blend with the world of dreams
And so I captured this fancy
Where all that we see
Or seem
Is but a dream
Within a dream;
And I can add a lot more about this but, I will be wrong may after a few months also. But definitely, there is an answer to this maze. And I don't I am in a perfect state of health physically and mentally.
I hope I have managed to carry across something and I may add to this definitely. Because I had been told by a Hindu Guru that a Secret is not something which is just revealed and people understand. A secret will remain a secret always. Maybe we can follow the Tibetan chant Om Mani Padme Hum( Jewel in the Lotus)!

#006 Vox Populi! Vox Dei!
Good day, All!
Regret the delay. It translates into the voice of the people, the voice of God or Gods (depending on whether you are mono or polytheist; Atheists are not entertained!).
Initially, I thought this is connected to democracy stuff, but then such a stupid word can not be connected to God in any way, and a rumination process was initiated and as usual some viable solution was reached sooner or later. I got the word voice wrong, as I realized that the mind can only hear; or rather whatever inputs from all the sensory organs are processed by the sixth one and converted to the base language (lower strata than the mother tongue or any language you use while thinking, by the way, I can think in three languages together!). So the voice of the people should be whatever the generations made available for you to perceive, as written, said, or projected, and all their combinations. Now I am satisfied, yes this definition is good enough, I say.
A bit about democracy; as it is something political. In my place, people never like to talk about politics, philosophy, and religion (mainly I feel due to the high intolerance level and separatism present). Politics, if you look into the etymology, is based on city and city dwellers. So anything political should be made of individuals. Try to build a wall using irregular stones or crumbled concrete pieces from some destroyed building, and it will be a tough task, even if you manage to make one strong enough. I don't say I am fully right with this analogy as here we make foundations (only) using grey, hard, and rough stones of different sizes/ shapes. But it is an expert job. So already there are unions from, families to relatives and religious (here we have plenty!), trade-related ones, and I feel that democracy or any sort of political system may not work as intended here.
May continue...

#005 "Victims Of Circumstances What We Are.."
Wednesday, 4 March 2020
Good Day, All!
This, too, is only a part of the preface which I was trying to omit. Because my preface to my blog will continue for some more posts until I say I am entering the main context of the blog. The term victims of circumstances what we are, as the link shows, came to my notice as the song by Barclay James Harvest. But I can not really agree that we are victims, but we are only the product of the circumstances. When we feel that we are down or hurt in a way, we feel that we are victims. But even in those situations, we will have enough strength left in us not to be felt as hurt beyond repair. In my case, I am also a victim now because it is not a good practice to go out and seek alms in exchange for something I write in my society. They won't mind if I publish all I write for royalty, then it would be perfect. But to me, whatever I write, I acquired on the way, maybe without much effort, or as a part of what I did like reading and listening to songs or watching movies which definitely were enjoyed by me. And now I do not know how to put a price tag on it, and by seeking alms, I find that only the ones who can spare some money need to pay, and I will be leaving behind whatever I write for all to read. And once I get enough to sustain myself for a period, I can always stop collecting because I am against amassing wealth.
This is for everyone who reads my blog to know that I was always a patron to many to a short term effect, and even now, at this stage, also is. I am quite sympathetic to people on the street, but most of the time, I could only pay out some alms to them, depending on what I can afford. I don't mean to compare myself to a beggar, but it really is not much different. A classic case I can remember is that, in 1996, when the ship "State of Tripura" a tramp general cargo ship, on which I was working, reached the port of Manchester of UK and I went ashore to see the sights. And there on the street side, one band was singing Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel, and I liked their performance very much and paid five pounds to them, which was too much money for me at that time. I meant to say that paying alms or seeking alms is allowed for me. So I request that If you like whatever I write and feel compassionate and benevolent enough, please help me out by going to my Patreon page and donating some small change to me. (Sorry! Thanks to India I got my job back and I am not seeking alms anymore and I removed that post too from this blog)
The basic reason for writing this post was to highlight my circumstances. Great thanks to my parents, and it definitely includes all. But then need to tell separately: I have to thank all my relatives and friends, colleagues, and regions of society I lived in or passed through.
Thanks and Best Regards,
George A P.
