Whether it be the Berlin Wall, apartheid, the bad old coercive Soviet system, or our own bad old coercive business systems, it seems that any foundations not now built on the realities of human relationship are being swept away by the forces of our time. - Crossing the Unknown sea, David Whyte.

Lithuanian Lapta is similar to Indian Gulli danda
How did you view adults in your childhood? Al Jaffee was anti adults.

Fish pond
.. the powers that be decided to poison the pond so that they could get rid of pickerel and bass and horned pout and turtles and stock it with trout. - Mark Vonnegut, Just like someone without mental illness only more so
one question that all adults like to ask kids , 'What will you be when you grow up?'. Mark's 'I should have been a doctor' at 25 from his 9-10 yr old self, made him a doctor.
Once Mark Vonnegut brought home RSV. Contagion does not fear doctor. Therese J. Borchard calls the playroom as 'pink-eye pit' in her memoir Beyond Blue
I talked with Lincoln and Twain
and Dostoyevsky and played
saxophone with Coltrane.
- Mark Vonnegut.
Tree of Hippocrates at harvard from a sapling from Kos.

The family tree spanning two sides of the page is scary. It begins in Japan. Then theres a map of Paris.

Does a North rough winged swallow
feel the loss of a feather or two
As the bird whizzes from one end
of the steps to the other, on the bank
does it recognise the feather sailing
like a dart due to reflection
does it feel the loss as much as that
of a flying insect that escapes it
does it feel like the loss of a
toe-nail or an eyelash?
Two owls drop me an insect
when I look at them
How do the birds detect insects?
What is the insects defense?
Crickets are chirping away in India
Is it getting hot?

Seurasaari
Seurasaari as an open museum, is not going well with me. What are such other jarring notions?
Museums are wonderlands. Salarjung museum is the first one I have been to. As a kid I liked the ceramic dolls.
Why would a cold country celebrate the end of summer? That too with a Bonfire.
The poem reels us in with the mention of place and Vendace but fails to take us along.
