70. What if I was reborn as a mosquito?

Every feed will remind me of the sound of deafening thud I used to impart (as a human) on innocent mosquitoes.

Erectile Function

 One of my Twitter Feeds of the old.

Erectile Function 

66. What if, all Ceylonese males lost erectile function except the Head of State for 3 weeks?

He will cancel holidays abroad.

Hubris Syndrome

These were few of my Twitter Feeds of the old.

Hubris Syndrome 

38. Hubris Syndrome is a pattern of behaviour in a person who sees the world as a place for self-glorification by the use of power only.

Features of Hubris Syndrome include;

39. There is a tendency to take action primarily to enhance one’s personal image.

Baby Elephants in the Wild

 Three of my old Twitter Feeds.

Baby Elephants in the Wild 

33. My search for the plight of “Baby Elephants in the Wild” has convinced me that there is an existence of a “Triage of Untouchables”.

Number one is the Hashish Growers.

34. Number two is the “Untouchable Politicians” who ties end at loose points.

35. Number three is the “Untouchable Law Enforcing Authorities”, that include police, banks and the judiciary which only prosecute the sprats.

Why I hate Cats?

May 31, 2011

Why I hate Cats?
I hate cats from my childhood.

The day our cat caught my squirrel and killed it I started hating all cats including our cat (never my cat in my vocabulary).

I cried and got hold of the tail of the cat and trashed her on the floor till my anger subsided but felt short of killing her.
The cat got the message and would not come near me and then one day I handed over her to one of my aunts whose house had lot of rats.

I cannot remember having a cat till late in my life.

Then we had two orphaned male cats one was killed by a dog and other was poisoned and dished out during Perehara for supper.

My daughter looked after 33 litters (she had counted) in her childhood and the last litter she came and told me that all five of them were blind to a different degree.

The had no defense from Kala Waddas (Ceylon Civet) and we looked after them in a cage and were disposed and I told her no more caring for cats (litters).

This year, New year’s eve I found three kitten in an open area of the house (neighbor’s cat) not protected by civets.

My decision was wait till they are bigger and dispose them quickly.

I frightened the mother cat (thinking she may take them away) but she was cunning and secretly come and go but not caring for the litter but found her catching birds in a nearby house.

Then she did not come to feed for three days and I found one dead and two others just surviving.

Called a yesteryear servant girl now a big woman and told her to take them away and give them to somebody with two small packets of milk vitamin enriched and cash for another big packet (now over Rs.300/=).

Today I was watching over my cup of tea and there we over 10 young squirrels come out of the nest due to rain. Many of them were barely able to jump and their mothers did not had any control over them.

I knew the worse would happen.

One missed the jump and fell over 40 feet down and before I could reach, the cat had already caught it.

The irony here is there are very few trees below that would have prevented the young squirrel from landing on the ground . Thirty (30) years ago when we moved here there were many trees and during this period at least 7 jack trees were felled in addition to other trees.

This is what we call development in Buddhist Style.
Before the turn of the last century monkeys would go from Hanathana Range to Knuckles range without ever climbing down to the ground and then there were more monkeys than business monkeys of present.

Read my verse on Kandy the so called heritage

That is it; killers in my neighborhood.

To my surprise there were 4 cats guarding below watchfully.

I could not believe westerners love them and feed them and there was an old woman in America, neurotic about the lost cats and not the house.

People are saying how cute when one cat was found.

Unlike dogs they can fend themselves in the wild and they are wild animals domesticated and never can be trained not to kill.

The other reason I hate them is they steal food.

Cat in the neighborhood come and secretly drink my dog’s milk.

Now I sit with him till he finishes.
My dog deliberately leave them for the cats (probably learned from me).

1. They kill (not appropriate for Buddhist ethics) birds, squirrels and rats and any animal at their disposal
2. They steal (not appropriate for Buddhist ethics)
3. They can be never trained
4. They know how to coax
5. They make very ugly noise in the night
6. They urinate on linen
7. Their scat has an awful smell
8. They are never at home but always at the neigbour’s house stealing
9. They breed so often
10. Above all they are nuisance to the neighbors
11. They never look after our household

I think we should have a cat’s law (we have a law for dogs- why don’t we round the cats up and kill them since they also transmit Rabies) for Cat Buddhists.

But our cat’s law goes like this, Yes it is my cat but I did not ask him or her to kill or steal: it is it’s (their) instinct to help Cat Buddhists and Cat Philosophy.

I call it my cat logic or catelogic (how it is pronounced in typical Ceylonese Style!)

They perpetuate catalogue of errors of discretion.

We Buddhists in Ceylonese  have bizarre law and ethics and very selfish too.

I cannot think of anything good except the purring.

Ceylonese  keeps cats and they never feed them.

They say if they feed them they won’t catch the mice ( I must call them Cat Buddhists to add to my list of Buddhists in Ceylonese ) at night but go and give Bodhi Puja every weekend.

I feel like killing my neighbors (this feeling was there for the last 30 years) having cats and not feeding them but until now I have resisted it.

Winux 11 25 02 noble lts iso (Multi)

My Gut Feeling validated.

It cannot be run live.

It has no applications except Microsoft Edge browser. 

Even that won't run live.

It freezes.

It want you to install it without giving you a chance to test.

It is not KDE Desktop as stated.  

 Wubuntu was was its first try. It failed.

I am going to try Q4OS instead.

YouTube has a glamouring video.

I think Windows guys and girls have gone into panic mode since Linux is eating into its base in this new year, 2025.

It has produced a distribution called Winiux to mount Windows applications. It is alright for a guy who has paid for Microsoft Windows but not for a real Linux Guy. My gut feeling is if a Linux guy who does not have a Microsoft or Windows will be asked to pay when using this distribution.

Do not get caught to this strategy. If you want pay games register with Steam of Valve which I support indirectly.

 It is only one day old.

It has a torrent file and can be downloaded from its site. I am trying to download it and it is over 4.8GB which is above my limit of 3GB which can be booted from a 4GB USB stick.

I am trying to be neutral and that is why I would test it but I won't use it. All my Windows files 40 years old are in Ceylon and gathering dust. I bet this file won't be mounted on BOX Utility. It is 4GB still.

Ankle Injuries

This post is just show I was a proper doctor in retirement, for those who doubt.

 Ankle Injuries

Well, well, well, another dream in a series of dreams.

I was sorting out some threesomes before I drop to sleep.

In fact, I was up all night sorting out my “got to do” work and dropped to sleep briefly.

It was related an ankle injury.

Somebody known to me (cannot remember who) had a fall or had a vehicle tire run over his / her foot, came to me for treatment.

Here, I practice, RICE treatment.

REST

ICE

COMPRESSION with Crepe Bandage

ELEVATION

 

Short Form IS RICE, I added the R

and ask subject/patient to come to casualty after 24 hours for REVIEW.

In an unfamiliar or previously unknown case, I take two X-rays in perpendicular plane for comparison with the Review X-Ray done usually after 24 hours.

X-ray is done to rule out bony injuries.

Main injury is lateral ligament injury (consist of three associated ligaments, one in front, one in the middle and one behind).

Bony injuries heel without much a do, since all the bones are stabilized in a 90 degree plane but ligament injuries do cause serious instability (it takes all the body weight) of the ankle joint.

Second X-ray is done to see avulsion injury of the ligament/s (gives the severity) which shows as little calcification not immediately but after about 24 hours.

Bony injuries separated are shown in the initial X-rays and bony injuries due to compression are also visible as linear calcification lines, after 24 to 48 hours.

It does not mater it is soft tissue or bony injury, since the treatment for both is the same below knee plaster cast.

But bony injury the time of removal of the P.O.P cast is late and soft tissue injuries physiotherapy is more vigorous.

In any case plaster cast is removed and reapplied once the swelling is at its minimum.

For some unknown reason, in my dream, the standard treatment was interfered with and some altercation with the staff (not me, probably the radiographer was) followed.

Either, I did not order an X-ray (this is one of my cost saving exercises, even when working abroad-mildest form injury get only one X-ray, after 24 hours -for exclusion purposes not conclusion of more severe injury) or the VIP guy demanded one immediately and the radiographer refused without a doctors request form, which is the norm.

With this commotion I was woken up.
