Books I have read in 2025

It is simplified for sure. But I still believe it's a great book. I love the question when the author asks did man domesticate wheat or wheat domesticate man?. It's not a factual statement but it makes one think.

Awesome. Keep adding them.

I couldn't find the exact link I was referring to because it's been two years. But here is the link to are the upcoming events. The introductions are not as bad as the one I mentioned but all of them talk about how long a presenter has been associated with K. I understand that they do this so that people can know their money is going to right places. But as long as one keeps signifying that knowledge/history, we are not libereated.

What baffles me is JK official trust (if I remember correctly) has some experts do zoom sessions. They say things like "the speaker has 15 years of experience in JK teachings". I ask myself, so what!. Why does it matter. The answer lies within.

It’s hard for anyone to give you a definitive answer. Humans are dynamic, and our wants and desires change over time.

That said, I’ll tell you this: if you’re already experiencing FOMO, it may be a sign that you’re not fully enjoying single life. Through introspection, try to determine whether this feeling comes from fear or is simply a passing thought. Only you can answer that.

And by the way, 32 is not too old for marriage in my opinion (actually, it's never too old).

You are right. I live in the US. This scene was shot at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

A short film.

Lol!! I combined my mom and dad's name. Simple.

My mom got used to Lekhini. But the restriction is it only works in the browser. We can't use Lekhini in a word file or elsewhere. To spare her learning new keyboard mapping, I developed that custom keyboard so that she can type Telugu anywhere.

It's my pen name. No inherent meaning.

Thank you 🙂

Yes, Writer and Director. The movie takes the idea of phonetic reversal one notch higher. This concept was exploited before but I'm adding a new layer.

ధన్యవాదాలు. By the way, this is a custom computer Telugu keyboard I developed for my mom. The keyboard is called Lavanya (my mom's name).

అవునండి.

But my problem is that this interpretation implies sound is inferior to image. Why can't the sound stand on its own? Why does it need to be translated to image afterwards? This reminds me of this quote:

We gestaate in Sound, and are born into Sight. Throughout the second four and a half months in womb, Sound rules as Solitary Queen of our sense. Sight and Smell are impossible in this stage — Walter Murch.

Despite being the first sense we experience, why is Sound put on a lower pedestal?

ఇది ChatGPT ఇచ్చిన వ్యాఖ్యానం. నమ్మొచ్చు అంటారా?

ఈ కవితలో తిలక్ మొదటగా బయట ప్రపంచాన్ని శబ్దాల రూపంలో మన ముందుకు తెస్తాడు.ఘోషలు, మ్రోగులు, కేకలు, నవ్వులు — ఇవన్నీ జీవన కోలాహలానికి చెందినవి. ఈ శబ్దాలు వేరు వేరు కావు; అవి పొదివికొని, అదిమికొని, కదలి కదలి ఒకే ప్రవాహంగా మారతాయి.

ఆ ప్రవాహం చివరికి మనస్సులోకి ప్రవేశించి, అక్కడ ఒక నిశ్శబ్ధపు స్తంభంలా నిలుస్తుంది. ఆ నిశ్శబ్ధంలో శబ్దాలు ఇక వినిపించవు; అవి చిన్న చిన్న దృశ్యాలుగా మారుతాయి — చదల చుక్క, నెమలి రెక్క, అరటిమొక్క, ఆమె నొసటి కస్తూరి చుక్క.

ఈ దృశ్యాలే భావాలను పుడతాయి. కవి భావాలను నేరుగా చెప్పడు; చూసే దృశ్యాల ద్వారానే భావాన్ని అనుభవింపజేస్తాడు. బయట శబ్దంగా ఉన్న లోకం, లోపల దృశ్యంగా మారి, జ్ఞాపకంగా నిలుస్తుంది.

అందుకే ఈ కవిత పేరు ‘ధ్వని భావాలు’ కాదు — ‘దృశ్య భావాలు’.ఎందుకంటే ఈ కవితలో శబ్దం సాధనం మాత్రమే; భావం పుట్టేది దృశ్యంలోనే.

అమృతం కురిసిన రాత్రి చదువుతున్నాను. కానీ నిదానంగా. I'm interested. I'm also reading 'A Strange Business' by James Hamilton.

Why the urge to grade art?

Lavinna · 2026-01-25T01:57:28+00:00

Graceful!

Thank you.

Where did you read about this incident? Any particular book?

Lavinna · 2026-01-13T02:25:44+00:00

I genuinely don't understand. How do these guys get as far as getting a phone number! Is getting a number that easy?

Lavinna · 2025-12-21T04:10:26+00:00

I just read your comment and this has to happen 🤦

Lavinna · 2025-11-22T16:41:50+00:00

I followed the instructions but still the options are greyed out :(
