Diction-Contra -- --- A day entry in a Boozer's diary.....

It was a pleasant, bright and dull day which was making me feel highly restless. Early in the morning, at around 10:30, global heat burner SUN caught me with his cold hands which I couldn't tolerate as I was pretty comfortable with the chillness. Needless to say, which has to be explicitly conveyed, I didn't want to proceed with my day activity. Situations, often does not let you do, what you wish to do, because it gives you the full freedom to select your choice. So I proceeded with getting ready to work on the procedures that are defined clearly, for which I hold a responsibility to clarify the uncertainties related to the pre-defined procedures. First challenge for me everyday is to find my gadgets which I don't take anywhere I travel. Once done with the previous activity, which was not completed, came down near my two-wheeler which had a flat tyre and an empty tank.  Red Signal on the way let me go further, by applying the break.  Headed towards east in the north-west direction. Was already late to start, so made sure I drove slowly in the pathway. For a change, the office was closed when I reached. So went ahead and proceeded with my work. She was stuck in the procedure, for which I made sure, I sat with her and clarified, so that she continued to be stuck with the issue. Outlook touched me with the meeting reminder, which I honored by going out and proceeded with a coffee and a cigar. The day moved with the watches and clocks stand still.  As usual, I was brisk post-lunch, so went straight to the dormitory and slept. Had a silent sleep with lots of disturbing dreams. An organized and arranged cubicle, neat and clean bedroom, less traffic roads and rules following vehicles and similar horrifying dreams made the sleep, an uncomfortable one. Woke up with a shock and realized that dawn had cleaned the sky and filled me with the need to proceed towards work. Started again with the search for what to be done, what to pick, where to go and how to proceed. Where is the end for this, when I have never realized that it has started? Does a copy mean anything if paste doesn't work. We still call it to be right, even if people write with left hand. Irony had penetrated and percolated all parts of the life without permissions. END attempts to begin everything with a start and by hoping a start will end all my problems, this January, I marched towards the end of confusion.

Unconventional

What is unconventional ? I used to think doing something that hurts anybody or anybody's feeling is unconventional.. but am realising, in due course that it is not always true... Then what is it?? When I try to do something unconventional, I am being opposed and I get hurt... So others act of avoiding me, in doing unconventional, that hurts me, isn't it unconventional... Ok, let us take a contextual approach... What is unconventional in one context can be ok in another context... But who defines the context.....? What is the conventional way of defining that context.. if that goes out of the order, then on what basis do we judge...Ok... Over period of time, what was unconventional is becoming conventional, So is time the context...? What is Unconventional in India is accepted in other countries, ok so is location the context ? When something unconventional happens, i express my dissatisfaction, in some cases, i just ignore, saying it is not going to affect me in anyway... So is unconventional act defined by whether it creates an effect/impact on me ( even though i am not directly involved ) ???? we enjoy some of the unconventional act when it happens in movies or explained in stories. So are unconventional acts - a fantasy that cannot happen in a real life??? Can I do an unconventional act continuously, repeatedly to make it conventional... ?? Can money be influential in flipping between conventional and unconventional act/decision.. So is conventional act depends on sentiments or is it a rule ( written or unwritten )... Ok, now, I list down all what is considered conventional ( given a context, time, location and a specific scenario ) .. can i assume whatever is not listed as unconventional ?

Towards the exploration to understand what is unconventional, I get to hit upon acts/ incidents / scenarios are

1. accepted / unaccepted conventional act

2. accepted / unaccepted unconventional act

--- i am not sure whether categorising accepted unconventional act as a conventional act or categorising an unaccepted conventional act as an unconventional act is correct or not

3. conventionally unconventional

4. unconventionally conventional

5. None of the above !!!!....

Still the question remains... am confused whether to take the conventional approach or unconventional approach to find an answer for this question....

Once Again, It happened on the eve of Christmas.......

Holidays, mean a lot in everybody’s life. They take you back down the memory lane, makes you feel very younger, younger to the level of a school going kid. Same was the feeling for Saambu also. For the past one week, he has been toiling around the city like a teenager, arranging for what he was expecting for the past eight years. After he was made alone by his wife, his face is taking a positive curve today. The hour hand joined with the minutes when he joined with his 2Gs. When the proximity of body increases, the mind travels farther, together. Thoughts take you to the distance where you can’t go physically. Sons explained their naughtiness and the punishment they got and daughters elaborated the pampering they received. Daughters showed their sons, their school dance program photos. Sons took their daughters to the ground where they played and showed the windows they shattered. As always Saambu was still an observer, but, today, he had lots of shows to enjoy, unlike the every day monotonous view he gets. He had a dining table full of people, to share the table full of food cooked, with taste, affection and love.  His daily routine of having a short nap and a long walk in the evening sun was totally wiped off with an un-planned, looked to be never-ending chat and play. Plans were sketched out for the fore-coming days. Destinations were pegged and travel logistics were sorted out. Moon and sun exchanged their roles very frequently to eagerly meet the family. Alarms were reminded of the time by the continuous sweet nothing talks. Vehicles were waiting to pick up the family. Materials were getting loaded. Telephone forgot its ring tone, because the people who disturb it are physically present there. Courteously enough, somebody wiped off its loneliness by ringing. The most little member ran and picked up the call handed over to the most senior member. Luggage were counted, loaded, verified and settled. Member entries were tallied. Saambu has to join them locking the door.  Seconds turned into minutes and minutes approached two digits.  Second son, stepped out of the bus to go and intimate his father about the delay, entered the house. The whole bus and the people inside were shaken by the crazy cry they heared from the house. Father was breathless and the whole gang was speechless. Father had the phone receiver in the hand and the son was not seen in the scene.

Can anybody find out from the father, what was the phone call about? , who talked? and why such an effect? Also please can you check with him, where the second son disappeared?

Nothing is known as of now, except that, “It happened on the eve of Christmas”

It happened on the eve of Christmas.......

“It happened on the eve of Christmas”, his voice had a different tone – a mix of excitement and anxiety. “Hold On, Hold On!!!” the flow and the enthusiasm was curtailed.  “What is Christmas?” both the parties in the conversation were puzzled. “Christmas!!! You don’t know Christmas?” Dichku Damaal (DD) continued his question by the answer, “the day when Jesus Christ was born”. Dummasi (Du), still in his befogged state, inquired, “Who is Jesus Christ?” DD doesn’t want to get diverted by the question, miss the opportunity that he has to elaborate, continued, “Ignore that, on some day, I decided to proceed and went ahead with all the preparation. Even though the intention was correct, with an unconventional approach, any execution is considered unethical. When I reached the place, I realized that I don’t have the list. This has been my problem throughout -- I forget to remember, but I never remember that I forget. The duration between two instances, I forget, is, indirectly proportional to the amount of detail I intend to remember. At times and at that time, this had caused me major loss. So I was mentally prepared for the trouble. The effect then was worst and the experience was the last for me.” – DD was just in a flow. Annoyed by the un-contextual and irritating monologue, Du attempted to hit a full-stop, “Ok, tell me what were to trying to do?” DD, interrupted in the process, asked, “by the way, I am surprised, How come you don’t know what is Christmas?” Du reached the peak of tolerance and escaped himself from the scene. DD wants to sort out the Christmas problem, glided through a few meters and reached the building. With his Saadhar ID, he went in and enquired about Du. Initial few verifications passed through and he was waitlisted. People were in-lined and he en-queued himself in the end of the list. He was lucky, that the (tail – 1) ^th person initiated the dialogue, “How long are you here”, DD counted his fingers and they were sufficient for him to answer, “Four”. “Oh, that was pretty long, and, how”. DD, with no excitement, answered, “It started with two knives and ended with four wheels”.  Peer sighed, “Argh... One in ten stories… mine was natural”. DD, in dejection, spelt, “Not all are lucky”. Opponent, inviting a diversion, probed, “What are you here, in the queue, for?” DD persisting in his puzzled state, shared, “You know, people here are not aware of Christmas and Jesus Christ” and he was countered by the companion, “Christmas/Jesus Christ – what are these?”  DD closed himself, included his current counterpart also in the list of queries along with Du, and waited for his turn, submitted his query, got the result. It read, “The people about whom you are enquiring died before Jesus Christ was born”. DD correlated that he died in 2222 AD -- actually, “It happened on the eve of Christmas.......”
