Silent Night

These toys of mine have by default been made with cotton ears. I can’t cotton my ears though, so unwanted loud music is making me sick. Anyone giving unsolicited mental and physical health tips will be blocked and his/ her comment will be removed even if the person is a good friend. No toxic positivity remarks please as that will also lead to permanent blocking and removal from my real life as a contact.

The night that baby Jesus was born in a cold and dark manger in Bethlehem according the the Bible was a serenely silent night. The cattle were softly lowing. In 2022, some people ‘celebrate’ Christmas by putting on carols and secular music on the loudspeaker. Please remember that religion can never be used as an excuse to create noise pollution. I prefer carol and hymn singing in churches to music roaring in residential areas. Many didn’t ask for that and must not be forced to listen to it.

The health of millions may be disrupted globally thereof. It can cause high pressure, increase stress, disrupt sleep, reduce productivity, harm hearing etc. Unfortunately, people who oppose loudspeakers, especially when played during religious festivals are termed as immoral and are ordered to leave India. I am against putting music on the loudspeaker for all religions.

Indoor Xmas/ Christmas/ Happy Holiday parties with blaring music for those who love that and have willingly signed up for the same may be done. Please have the courtesy of not bursting crackers when Christmas and the New Year 2023 chime in.

Thanks for understanding.

Silent Night

 Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
round the virgin and her child:
holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace;
sleep in heavenly peace!

 Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quail at the sight,
glory streams from heaven afar:
heavenly hosts sing 'Alleluia,
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born!'

Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light:
radiant beams your holy face
with the dawn of saving grace,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth.

  Octopus 1.     You may often have heard someone proudly saying that he has blue blood running through his veins. 2.     This figuratively means that he is the descendant of a royal dynasty. 3.     Did you know that a creature living in the deep blue ocean really has blue-coloured blood? 4.     We are talking about the mollusc, the eight-legged octopus here. 5.     Octopuses are natural marine architects which build homes for themselves with rocks. 6.     With their powerful arms, they can easily shift rocks from one venue to another. 7.     Their rock den abodes have a stone door entrance which the octopus can lock after it safely enters its sweet home. 8.     Even after they are securely at home, they are better off without visitors. 9.     They disperse shells and rocks to carefully conceal themselves within their dens. 10.                        After catching prey which comprises worms, crustaceans, molluscs, prawns and fish they retire to their dens to savour

  Old English 1500 years ago, in the 5 th century CE, a Germanic tribe, the Angles, traversed the North Sea to invade Britain. The earliest of these attacks was in 449 CE. Later, the Saxons and Jutes did the same. These tribes lived in what we now know as northern Germany and Denmark. The Germanic dialects of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes were the languages that gave birth to a new language in Britain, the English language. This language is called Old English or Anglo-Saxon. The erstwhile home of the Angles was called ‘ Englaland’. Their language was known as ‘Englisc’. The words ‘England’ and ‘English’ were formed from these old words. These invading tribes fought with the Celtic inhabitants of the country. Most of them were slaughtered or enslaved. Some were fortunate to have fled to the safety of Wales, Ireland and Scotland. In 2021, a speaker of English may find it almost impossible to comprehend Old English. Around 50% of the predominantly used words in contemporary English posses

  Man consumes pesticide As I write this, a young man is fighting for his life. He is an alcoholic and is always in and out of jail. This morning he put pesticide in his spirit and drank it. His body is turning cold and he can hardly breathe. He is in a queue for admission to the hospital for the poor where detailed paperwork is going on as protocols dictate that a police case must be registered before further proceeding. These rules delay saving those who attempt suicide. We aren’t sure if this was accidental or deliberate mixing. The treatment of patients who try to take their lives is shocking in supposedly good private hospitals as well. In one of these places, the person who attempted it was slapped several times by the doctor and as he felt that an evil person like this deserves mistreatment, ward boys were ordered to strip her naked to change her into a gown as there was no nurse at the emergency room. In the case of domestic violence when a person tries to kill oneself, t
