Maverick

The meaning of this word I do not know. I do not look up dictionary for meaning of words. I am not insulted for my lack of knowledge. I know how to digest my ignorance. I read books passages never looking up dictionary for words' meaning I do not know. My learning knows no depth. I have no inclination to be scholar nor intelligent or successful.

I have been aware of McCain for last 18 years I am here in USA. I am political novice. I am in no way looking to be expert. I voted for Trump. I did not know his dishonesty cannot be fathomed, his level of selfishness can only be seen in USA and nowhere else in the world.

The only lasting impression I formed of McCain, is his principles of unselfishness and his non-conforming nature. He stood alone by his principle. No other person in US history of politics merit this credit from me.

Is it the meaning of maverick as he was called?

I am waiting to see another like of him. His death is irreplaceable loss for unfortunate americans like me. McCain is Pride for the rest world. While Trump is shame as a human being. We elected him President and made ourselves laughing stock of the rest of world.


(CNN)Here's a paragraph from Joe Biden's eulogy of the late John McCain that you need to read:
"You know, I'm sure if my former colleagues who work with John, I'm sure there's people who said to you, not only now, but the last 10 years, 'Explain this guy to me,' right? 'Explain this guy to me.' Because, as they looked at him, in one sense they admired him. In one sense, the way things changed so much in America, they look at him as if John came from another age, lived by a different code, an ancient, antiquated code where honor, courage, integrity, duty, were alive. That was obvious, how John lived his life. The truth is, John's code was ageless, is ageless. When you talked earlier, Grant, you talked about values. It wasn't about politics with John. He could disagree on substance, but the underlying values that animated everything John did, everything he was, come to a different conclusion. He'd part company with you if you lacked the basic values of decency, respect, knowing this project is bigger than yourself."

Relaxation

The yoga that is known all over the world often nothing but some simple postures to be kept for 30 seconds to one minute. People claim all kinds good results from them. I do not know. I have tried some of them sometimes. Fascination drops off soon from my mind. I am not disciplined. I have no fixed time to go to bed or wake up.  However writing is part and parcel of my daily life. I often spend several hours in a day looking at me and documenting the same. I go for cycling once a day when weather is good. While I am on the wheels, I play with many ideas. I get plenty of relaxation from my writings.  I get superlative experience of living in paradise without any compulsion. I am able to pay my bills and taxes even though I am partially employed. While none in my house spend any money towards my expenses, they are not al all less demanding. My wife could at least bear huge expense towards her medical insurance medicines tests and doctors. She does not. Despite my conti...

symphony

I have written many many times about Gita. गीता। Its right to left reading. तागी। They both are Sanskrit words, however their meanings are not Harmony or Renunciation exactly. Their opposites are असुर and भोगी। Near english meanings are disharmony e.g Ravana, a character from Purana. Lusty, lust without control; everyday examples are us, US presidents - Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton.... There have been many many translations and as many volumes of expositions on Gita by that famous institution such as RKM and others. Please do not read them. Since Gita must be read as is written by Veda Vyasa and never touched. It is written with the assumption that it shall need no touch. Sanskrit is such a language. You have not learned that discipline - your writings (of expositions) are useless. It is story of God advising a life long friend about what to do when. Him telling that you have no option. You cannot QUIT. You have to accomplish what is already done for you. You are designed automaton...
