On my way to the start point of the ride, I stop for tea at Appa Balwant Chowk’s Prabhat Tea House.
A BPO night shifter young woman asks me what that logo is on my tee. It looks like a religious symbol, she says (tbh, it does resemble the Khalsa symbol, but not this as much as the Sith Order one; anyway, digressing).
I say, it is, kind of, one. It is the Jedi Order from Star Wars.
She laughs, and exclaims,
‘Oh, so a made-up religion.’
Well…how do I break it to her gently?
Wknd 🧵- The Great Orator
As Bhakts fall over each other to defend Modi Ji’s District Capital gaffe, they pretend as if this was the first time Modi Ji fumbled
The Great Orator has a great track record of fumbles & buffoonery

Let’s start with The famous M R S Srisena
The good/bad Muslim trap and why it's a fallacy.
Thank you. I was JUST writing about this. I'll share the post when I finish!
I am intrigued, and very curious, about his choice of words. I know by now their defence of the war and it's justifications, but I was unaware that they considered the Palestinians, or even the Hamas as 'Nazi'! Why would he, of all people, use that word? Why 'Nazi'? I'm confused.
पूर्व सेनाध्यक्ष की किताब का क्या हुआ ?
मंज़ूरी नहीं मिलेगी क्या? कम से कम उन्हें तो बोलना चाहिए कि मेरी किताब छपने नहीं दे रहे हैं। अब उनके लिए भी बोलना पड़ेगा? अजीब हाल है। एक साल लगेगा क्या रिव्यू होने में?
![Mr Baba: 'Would you like to take off the backpack now that you've been downstairs for like 30 minutes?'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'I like it like this. You should try it. It's very comfortable.'
Mr Baba: [Pulling on his backpack] 'Hmmm, you're right. That's rather snug.'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'Twinning! Yay!'

![Kym: 'Mr Baba, can I tell you something wierd? You can actually get tired from doing nothing!!'
Me: 'It is called boredom.'
Kym: 'Noooo. I mean, like physically tired.'
Me: 'One can get tired and sleepy due to boredom. I remember reading about it somewhere. Let's find out.'
[Some Googling later]
Me: 'It says here that "A new paper published in the journal Nature Communications finds that a part of the brain that is associated with motivation and pleasure - the nucleus accumbens - also can produce sleep. The new findings may explain why we have the tendency to fall asleep in the absence of motivating stimuli, i.e., when bored." Isnt it interesting?'
Kym: 'I already knew that. Why do you need to research things we already know?'
Me: [Finding a subject worth talking about now]: ' Ah well, that's what we'll talk of tomorrow on your morning run. It's very interesting the way science is done and our understanding of the universe is expanded.'
Kym: 'Can we talk of unicorns instead?'
Me: 'Sure. How do you know they exist? That's an interesting question too that you can use the scientific method to answer.'
Kym: 'Do they have to exist for us to talk about them? We can just pretend they do for an hour and have fun.'
Me: [Laughing] 'Yes, sure. We can do that too.'
