https://youtu.be/6x0fJuhH6K4 (The is not an excellent example of writing but an exercise for me at the present moment to try out my writing app and embedding videos in the blog, but I hope to turn this draft into a well-written essay.) ”All I know about grammar is its infinite power. To shift the structure of … Continue reading The Infinite Power of Grammar
The Boxes We Put Each Other In
Before you read my blog or essay read this blog first. My manager on finding I wasn't a Trump supporter said to me, “I was sure you were a Trump supporter.” Later my manager calls me up and tells me he doesn't want me to think he is a bigoted Trump supporter, spending an hour … Continue reading The Boxes We Put Each Other In
Why Continue to Write
I write this because there is a woman called Priya out there in the blogosphere who writes: “I feel sometimes that my creativity is diminishing, I see new people, with their talent, their immerse engrossing talent, and I am mesmerised, but a little scared; too.” Along came another blogger (VN) saying she had imposter syndrome. … Continue reading Why Continue to Write
On Being Married to a Strong Woman
Yes that describes my wife for sure. I hate to say the reason I probably like strong women is because my mother was the strongest person I have known in my life. My father had a low threshold for pain -emotional and physical, so when my mother had to go to the hospital I'm the … Continue reading On Being Married to a Strong Woman

I just read someone else's blog which got me to think of the quote of Nin; and somebody else’s blog that got me to think of my childhood.

Being a Moderate
I remember a time when there used to be some moderates around-no more. As I sit in the break room in the morning, before work starts, some people studying, others drinking tea or coffee, some eating, some actually talking about work related topics - imagine that, some talking politics, I wonder why no moderates. Now … Continue reading Being a Moderate
On Being Liked
This liking reminds me of of a laid-back job I once had fixing complex high speed machines, the only requirement being keep the machines running. You could talk to the other technicians, leaving your area if need be, so long as the machine personnel had a way to contact you. For some reason I was … Continue reading On Being Liked

You know you've been married a long time when you know everything about how your wife thinks and she you.
