[blogbysaif]

Apni nigaaho'n ko ek chehre par paband karo, Har surat par lutt jana toheen-e-wafa hoti hai.

"Focus your gaze on one face; losing yourself over every face is a betrayal of loyalty."

Muhabbat hai mujhe samandar se

Aur tairna bhi nahi aata

Hum khade hai sahil par

Aur vo hame milne bhi nahi aata

Uski yaado me guzar rahe hai hum zindagi

Aur vo hai use to mera khayaal bhi nahi aata

Kaise kahe tere bagair khush hu

Ye misra zaban par hi nahi aata

Hum aage badne ki koshish kar rahe hai

Vo shaqs ab har pal yaad nahi aata

Aur kisiko muhabbat ho chuki hai mujhse

Are jaao mai inn baato me dobaara nahi aata

[sammy0is0autistic]

mohabbat moh maya hai

arey mohobbat moh maya hai

humesha dil wapis tukdo mei aaya hai

tukdo mei aaya hai

कविता: समानता की गूंज

पंजाब की तालों में छिपी, दो आवाज़ों की कहानी, एक सोने की चादर में लिपटी, दूसरी संघर्ष की निशानी। जहां जाट राजा गाते हैं रेत पर महलों की बात, अपनी धरती और वीरता के गीत, संग लिए अपार सौगात, दलित सपनों का नाच नज़र आता है उनके संग, गीत हैं जो कहते उनके दर्द की, न्याय की उम्मीदों की जंग। रूप लाल की हम्मर कॉलेज के द्वार तक जाती, गिन्नी की आवाज़ उठती, उनके संगीत में वह कहानी बताती, जो इतिहास में छिपी,…

[hindisoup]

Hiii, I've been following your blog since some time. And I've been very fascinated and impressed by your journey. I'm sure at this point you know hindi better than me (I'm not proud of this, I'll focus better on Hindi from now). And I've always had this question, I'm not sure if I asked you or if you have already answered it or not. But how did you start learning Hindi? Are you Indian or indian origin? And how has your journey been? Did you find difficulties? What was easy for you and what did you like/dislike about the culture as you continued learning the language? I'm very curious.

Hi and thank you so much for such a nice ask!

Here's my previous answer to how I got into Hindi in the first place.

In short, I am just a Finnish linguaphile with no connection to India or South Asia whatsoever. I have loved learning about different languages since childhood but Hindi (and Urdu on the side) has been my passion for the past six to seven years now.

I got into the language very typically through Hindi cinema but more than just the aesthetics I'm fascinated by the history, art, socio-political fabric, nature and just all of it. I love learning new things in general and there's always something new about Indian people or culture that draws my interest. Looking at things - whether political, religious or whatever - from a distance, I try to observe and form an understanding more than form opinions - it's not my place and all I have is endless respect for Indian people. I've never been to India but believe me I have long to-do and to-see lists when I eventually one day get to go there.

My language journey has been very enjoyable. I've done some online courses, had iTalki tutors, done some videos to practice pronunciation, made a huge Anki deck and done lots of reading, podcast listening and film watching. I was making great progress but my learning has been on somewhat hiatus since last autumn when I got a new job that took all my energy. Since January I've been writing a PhD thesis proposal that has taken all my spare time and my Hindi learning has diminished to scrolling Tumblr poems and listening to film songs while commuting. The passion is still there and I intend to return to my routines as soon as possible.

What I love most about Hindi as a language is the logic of it. It's - for me at least - very easy to 'get' Hindi, as in understanding the grammar rules - why things are the way they are. Hindi is a very learner-friendly language that way. A bigger issue is the immense vocabulary and understanding of the historical and cultural roots around borrowing sounds and words from Sanskrit, Persian and other languages - how they play together and how they do not etc. When learning Hindi you are never just learning Hindi!

I had some trouble learning Devanagari at first and learning to differentiate all the sounds (and produce them from my mouth). It took time, but one day they clicked. I'm not perfect and there's a lot of room for improvement but seeing the progress I've made is very encouraging and helps me keep on learning. Learning Nastaliq and Naskh is another story - and another journey altogether!

2, 3 and 7?

2. Do you have any easter eggs in your fic?

Oh my god, definitely the bit where Daniel eats a woman in a Halloween costume from Despicable Me. Get it? because she's a minion? ahaha?

There's also tons from the original Devils Minion chapter of QOTD. I've also flipped through The Vampire Armand but gave up because Anne Rice's writing melts my brain lmao.

I'll just point out this bit of chap 4 of LLTR. I basically scrapbooked this entire exchange out of fragments from the original Devil's Minion short story.

(Anne Rice's QOTD)

“You are my teacher,” Armand told him. “You will tell me everything about this century. I am learning secrets already that have eluded me since the beginning. You’ll sleep when the sun rises, if you wish, but the nights are mine.” (p.143 in my ebook)

...vs (LLTR fic Chap 4)

“I’ll show you what your limits are. You can survive much more now, but no vampire is invulnerable. I’ll show you all the gifts that vampires are capable of. My memory is faded, but it’s not gone. I’ll tell you all the secrets I know. There are some buried so deep that even Lestat does not know them. I’ll teach you the lore. We’ll go to the Villa of Mysteries and I will fling the doors open wide for you. I will show you how beautiful and powerful you can become. My fledgling. My beloved Daniel.” “Yes,” Daniel breathes. “You’ll sleep when the sun rises because you must, but the in-between hours we'll spend on your education. The night is yours, but your dawns and dusks will be mine.” Armand stops. He looks a little shy. “As mine will be yours, if you’ll have me.” It’s a grand speech for a man snuggled under a cotton-poly IKEA duvet.

So to break it down:

In QOTD, Daniel visits Pompeii and the Villa of Mysteries and the vampire Armand shows up to lead him in. That's also where canon Daniel and Armand become lovers for the first time.

In QOTD, Armand tells Daniel he's Armand's teacher for the 20th century. In LLTR, the human Armand offers to be Daniel's teacher for vampire lore.

In LLTR, Armand's speech is a remix of what the vampire Armand says to Daniel because I wanted the human fic version of Armand to have a different kind of relationship with Daniel. He's a little shy, a little desperately in love. Daniel doesn't belong to him...they belong to each other...

3. What's something you've researched for your fic?

The daily life of a 16th century painter's apprentice in Venice...oh god...I think Amadeo is such a fun person to write

I also did some research for (lol) the drive between Billy Bishop airport and Niagara Falls and some more Ontario geography, but I also just went "fuck it" and ignored some stuff for fic reasons.

Full admission: I'm pretty sure Daniel will NOT have stopped at an intersection driving out of the airport because you pretty much turn right onto the highway ramp for Queen Elizabeth Way. However the image of Daniel rolling down his window to show his vampire fangs at another driver was too funny for me to take out. Let's pretend there's construction going on in Toronto. Not a stretch of the imagination.

7. What character do you enjoy writing most? Why?

LLTR is essentially a two-man theatre play. Since I really only have 2 characters can I say both of them? Armand because he's so mercurial: in any given moment he can do anything, say anything. I don't even know what he's going to do most of the time until I've written in.

Daniel because he's a tremendously flexible voice to inhabit. I love the show and the writers for giving us this older Daniel <3. Often I'm running against the limits of a character's voice--like, would he really say that? would he really know that? But AMC show Daniel's incredible. He's highbrow, he's lowbrow, he can identify a Rembrandt on sight, he knows what 8chan is and only pretends not to know Gen Z slang. In the fic it's like, he knows politics and history and TS Eliot poems and Madonna lyrics and what's Hindi-Urdu and his conversations with Armand can effortlessly jump between a lot of levels. Writing Daniel is like driving a zippy sport car, if that's not too weird a thing to say.

[thefernmanner]

"The Neighbors." From the Book of Sirach, "The Manner of the Fern" 39: 6-11.

Sirach states his advice is as good for Gentiles as it is for Jewish people. Nornally we think things go the other way around. There is evidence in the Acts of the Apostles that the term Gentile did not refer to the contrast between Jews and Greek non-Jews, but between two types of Jews.

Jews=1595, י״הץה, yetahatz, "one hundred percent."

Gentiles=276, רעו‎, re'u, pasture grazers, shepherds, a friendly associate

Sirach says both need to be able to shine in public, especially in politics:

6 Then, if the great Lord is willing, he will be filled with understanding. He will pour out a stream of wise sayings, and give thanks to the Lord in prayer. 

7 He will have knowledge to share and good advice to give, as well as insight into the Lord's secrets. 8 He will demonstrate his learning in what he teaches,[a] and his pride will be in the Lord's Law and covenant. 

9 He will be widely praised for his wisdom, and it will never be lost, because people for generations to come will remember him. 

10 The Gentiles will talk about his wisdom, and he will be praised aloud in the assembly. 11 If he lives to old age, he will die famous, but if he is laid to rest before he is famous, he will be content.[b]

The tie that binds all men together in an assembly is not religion it is the Self. Self-realization, the freedom to be, is the longing all men share. Religious and political organizations that threaten the realization of the Self are forbidden by the Spirit. Friendly relations alone are permitted.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 6: If the Lord is willing, the Number is 10215, קבי״ה‎, kvita, "a guinea pig."

"Kavita" is a transliteration of the Hindi word for "poem" or "verse," a Hebrew word like "nizarm" or "pizmor" might be used, 

Wise sayings are like guinea pigs. We keep them around because they are cute, but they cannot be eaten. Cute sayings are therefore not considered Kosher as they are too annoying.

v. 7-8: He will have knowledge to share and good advice to give. The Number is 12772, יבן‎עב‎, yabnab, Ben-Eb, "Son and father."

The reason Jewish people are an important feedstock to Gentiles is the genealogy mentioned in the Gematria. No one knows how to decrypt Jewish scriptures, including the Gospels, the Acts, and the Revelation like a Jew. Their complete competence is not possible without Jewish learning, this the world has yet to accept.

Even still God says, to be friendly is the highest learning.

v. 9: He will praised for his wisdom. The Number is 8622, ףו‎ךב‎, ephu‎techav‎, "the Foreword", "Hope in the darkness."

= Parsha Bereshit.

v. 10-11: The Gentiles will talk about his wisdom. The Number is 10628, קו‎‎ךח‎, koch, "the water hose."

"Koch" (כ) is a letter of the alphabet, and the word "koch" (כה) is an adverb meaning "thus is the way." It's part of common phrases like "thus says the Lord". It's also used to express comparisons and is related to the particles כ (ke) and כי (ki), which also serve to compare. 

Water goes one way, but a man's mind goes anyway it wants. Sirach says the path to virtue, credibility, to collective and personal freedoms must be attained like one vents water from a hose. Once water leaves the source it cannot go back. The path to wisdom then is a commitment made like the water commits to the mouth of the hose.

The final Gemara is י״הץה רעו‎קבי״ה יבן‎עב ףו‎ךבקו‎‎ךח‎, מי״היה רעו‎קבינה בין‎עב פו‎לבקו‎‎lj,‎ yethatzah re'u‎kvita yevan‎av ephu‎techabku‎‎techach‎, "The Lord is the one who was the neighbor of the cabin between the two of you."

Kumar Vishwas: The Poet-Politician Who Redefined Indian Literature and Public Life

Kumar Vishwas is a prominent figure in contemporary Indian literature and politics, renowned for his captivating poetry and engaging public persona. A celebrated Hindi poet, social activist, and former politician, Vishwas has left an indelible mark on India's cultural and political landscape. His journey from a small-town poet to a national political figure is both inspiring and multifaceted.

Early Life and Education

Born on February 10, 1970, in Pilkhuwa, a small town in Uttar Pradesh, Kumar Vishwas was raised in a middle-class family. His father, Dr. Chandrapal Sharma, was a teacher, and his mother, Rama Sharma, was a homemaker. From a young age, Vishwas was inclined towards poetry and literature, much to the concern of his family, who initially encouraged him to pursue a more traditional career.

He completed his primary education in his hometown and went on to pursue a degree in engineering, but his love for literature pulled him in a different direction. He decided to follow his passion and pursued a Master's and Ph.D. in Hindi Literature. This shift laid the foundation for his future as a poet and public intellectual.

Rise to Fame in Poetry

Kumar Vishwas first gained national recognition for his poetry, which resonated with the youth of India. His romantic verses, often laced with humor and deep emotions, struck a chord with audiences across the country. He became a regular performer at Kavi Sammelans (poetry gatherings) and quickly gained popularity with his unique style and relatable content.

One of his most famous poems, Koi Deewana Kehta Hai, is a testament to his skill in expressing profound emotions with simplicity. The poem became an anthem of sorts for young lovers, and Vishwas was soon hailed as one of the leading figures in modern Hindi literature. His ability to blend traditional Hindi verse with contemporary themes allowed him to build a diverse fan base, ranging from young students to older poetry enthusiasts.

Political Career and Activism

In addition to his success as a poet, Kumar Vishwas ventured into politics. He was a founding member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and played a key role in the party's early days. His oratory skills and ability to connect with the masses helped him gain a significant following in the political arena.

Vishwas contested the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from the Amethi constituency, running against high-profile candidates like Rahul Gandhi. Though he lost the election, his involvement in politics highlighted his commitment to social change and activism. Vishwas remained a vocal advocate for anti-corruption measures and a more transparent political system in India. Despite parting ways with AAP in later years, his brief but impactful political career demonstrated his desire to contribute to the nation beyond the realm of poetry.

Contribution to Literature and Public Discourse

Kumar Vishwas' literary contributions extend beyond his own poetry. He has been a strong advocate for the promotion of Hindi literature and has used his public platform to raise awareness about the importance of preserving India's linguistic heritage. Through his performances, social media presence, and public speeches, Vishwas has brought Hindi poetry into the mainstream, making it more accessible to younger generations.

His role as a public intellectual goes beyond the written word. Vishwas has been invited to various forums, universities, and cultural events, where he shares his insights on social issues, national identity, and the role of art in shaping public consciousness. His speeches often combine humor, satire, and philosophical depth, making him a unique voice in Indian public life.

Personal Life and Legacy

Kumar Vishwas is married to Manju Sharma, and the couple has two children. Despite the demands of his public life, he has always maintained a strong connection to his family, often mentioning them in his public appearances and interviews.

As of today, Kumar Vishwas continues to inspire millions through his poetry, social media presence, and public engagement. His ability to traverse the worlds of art and activism with equal ease makes him a unique figure in contemporary India. Whether reciting his heartfelt verses or addressing a crowd on matters of national importance, Vishwas remains a voice of reason, creativity, and passion.

In conclusion, Kumar Vishwas has carved a niche for himself as one of the most influential poet-politicians of modern India. His legacy as a cultural icon and his brief but significant political career have left a lasting impact on both fields. Through his work, he continues to inspire and provoke thought, contributing to the rich tapestry of Indian public life.

PASAdU Hosts Historical Adventure Game “Back to the Fort”

The Pangkasaysayang Samahan ng Adamson University (PASAdU) organized an engaging historical game titled "Back to the Fort" at Fort Santiago, Intramuros on May 4, 2024.

The said game was an interactive and immersive learning experience for  Adamsonians by bringing them back to the illustrious and historically enriched setting of Fort Santiago.

A facilitator coming from members of PASADU is assigned to each group which consists of five members along with their respective group leader which then a map brochure and a crossword puzzle with tasks and a mystery word were given to each team. The puzzle's solution is directly related to every historical information located in Fort Santiago, and players were prohibited from using phones or Google for assistance.

However, if they encounter difficulties in finding the answer, they are granted three lifelines. To utilize a lifeline, they must utter the phrase "PASADU Ako" in front of their facilitator, who will then provide clues from a deck of cards containing daring challenges that team members must complete. The first team to successfully solve all the puzzles will search for a big key and win the game. 

After the successful completion of the game, Mr. Adrian Zulueta, the chairperson of the social science department, delivered his closing remarks expressing his gratitude to all the participants and officers of PASADU who worked hard to make this event possible. He also extended his gratitude to the Intramuros administration for opening their space for young learners to appreciate and discover the history of the Philippines. Mr. Zulueta continued to express his excitement to turn this event into an annual one, saying, "We will make this event even bigger and turn it into a yearly event.” he said.

"Back to the Fort" was originally proposed and organized by Exzur Jay Arabia, a professor in political science and history. “In any way that we can promote history whether it's a song, it's a poem, it's a game, I think we should explore those things, and for my part I chose to explore it through a game.” He said

He takes great pride in overseeing this program that he initiated, and he gladly handed it over to PASADU, enabling it to expand into a bigger avenue and carry on our history.  He also then expressed all the significant learnings that every student can gain participating.  

“Matutunan nila yung (They will learn) socio-emotional aspect, yung (the) teamwork, yung (the) appreciation ng (of) culture, atsaka yung (and the)  ability natin (of us) to think and analyze.” he said. 

Additionally, Arabia has also seized this moment as an opportunity to underscore the importance of why we should all pay attention and be mindful of our history.

“Kailangan natin yun (We need it)  in the sense na ang kasaysayan kasi (that history)  yun ang kaluluwa ng bansa (it’s the soul of our country)  so remove history, i think your also removing the DNA of a nation.” he said.

The President of the Pangkasaysayang Samahan ng Adamson University, Aerol Christopher Infante advocates for their recently recognized organization, persuading Adamson students to join their group that's full of knowledge from the past, “If you want to learn history as well as culture why not try PASADU lalong lalo na (especially)  if you wanna learn in a very fun way na hindi (that’s not) very traditional na (like) by the book of learning.” he said.

Johannah Gonzales, the Vice President of Pangkasaysayang Samahan ng Adamson University, reflects upon the valuable lessons she has gained through organizing this historically inclined event.

“Sa event na to (In this event) pinaka natutunan ko (I learned) is  sobrang halaga na may (It’s very important to have) teamwork pag ginagawa niyo to (when you’re doing this) and i think maapply ko din siya satin mga kabataan (it can also be applied for us youth) na (that) if may (there’s) teamwork, mas mashashape natin ang history for the better ( we can shape history for the better).” she said.

Czearine Kate Padilla, the Academic Directress/Event Head of PASAdU shared her experience being one of the organizers of the event, and with the participants. PASAdU is her first organization as a college student. She said that it was overwhelming for her because of the loads of paperworks that needed to be done, and to make the idea of the event true to life. “They’re not only learning history but they’re also able to learn about the different morals, like teamwork and morals,” she said.

Lastly, Jommel Alagas, a fourth-year communication student shared his excitement in PASAdU’s Back To The Fort. According to him, it’s his last chance as a college student to enjoy school activities. “It is very inspiring and very memorable,” he said.
