GOD’S HOUSE

“202nd story”

A middle-aged man named Mr. Sabi lived in Adam’s neighborhood. Adam saw him almost every day.

GLORIOUS MORNING

Roth Poetry

IMG_7895 (5)

Morning bursts forth in all its radiant glory,

peering through the sheltered woods,

highlighting trees, dancing on flowers.

Steppingstones draw me to

the damp creek.

Frogs bury themselves in mud keeping cool

Morning breezes will soon shift

But, for now, the glorious morning shimmers.

“One glance at a book and you hear the voice of
another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years.
To read is to voyage through time.”

No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man.”

This is the extraordinary story of “The Man Who Knew Infinity”, described in the book by Robert Kanigel.

Humankind has been exploring and discovering mathematics for millennia. Maths advanced our species, with early arithmetic and geometry providing the foundation for the first cities and civilization. One of the oldest of recreational mathematics, magic squares, can be found in various Indian texts from around 100 CE. I wanted the first part of this post to be a guided tour of India’s mathematical…

LEARNING TO FORGIVE

Find Your Middle Ground

Forgiveness is giving up the desire to punish someone or yourself for an offense. We let go of judging the person who caused the hurt. Instead of revenge and resentment we choose understanding and kindness. In forgiveness, we don’t forget that the offense occurred nor do we excuse it. Forgiveness is a choice and act of will to free ourselves.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Louis B. Smedes

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” – Paul Boese

“Without forgiveness life is governed by… an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.”– Roberto Assagioli

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets…

WORLD MOSQUITO DAY

2022 Theme: “Harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives”

World Mosquito Day, observed annually on 20 August, is a commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross’s discovery in 1897 that female anopheline mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans.

Prior to the discovery of the transmitting organism, vector, there were few means for controlling the spread of the disease although the discovery of quinine in treatment had alleviated the problem of treatment. According to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected.

Ross had already conducted experiments with Culex (possibly C. fatigans) fed on birds infected with bird malaria Protesoma relictum (now Plasmodium relictum) in 1894 and noted that they developed in mosquito gut and had surmised that the same may happen in malaria. Ross had noted the day of the discovery made in Secunderabad (printed incorrectly as 1895, but definitely 1897 based on his postings).

NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO HATE

Sadly, hate is too easy for bullying targets to get sucked into. When people have treated you so horrifically for long enough, you lose faith in humanity. A person who is the object of bullying begins believing that all people are self-serving lowlifes who enjoy seeing other human beings suffer. They soon become the very […]
