After a long hiatus when I reached that city that was the center of my juvenile ventures, I was struck by the difference in the population that thronged the streets. In my blooms, this was a hotbed of educational exchange between two nations and the principal routes were the refuges of students, especially overseas scholars, and in the cold December, some were seen tasting the coal prepared food articles and maize and talking of various things. Now the chilly weather is still there and it was also December and I took an early stroll to survey my beloved spots, and there were vacationists, and sightseeing bands and the local people of various social impressions and the mezzanines are greeting and people of all ages are seen frequenting them. The most memorable bookstall of that epoch is still in continuance but in an abutting plaza having the very old signature. This was my excursion to a family of relatives and I chanced to be in the city for many days in the downtown lanes and the bus stations at a particular time, after eleven o’clock in the day, after my everyday routines. The ways are however identical, the same intersections, crossroads, though some of the sanitation of earlier seasons has waned and maybe the stores and the owner might have changed. There are a few supplementary bridges and a couple of huge resorts in the chief area. But generally, the place was the same as was in my youth. This particular city is striking in my memories because once I sojourned here for six months in preparation for a national test. And later I frequented it because of the aesthetic shows including dances and theatre. The auditorium is still there, with the same name of an outstanding lyricist.
While waiting at the bus terminal, I was struck by a blind man who almost labored with his staff to relocate. and out of curiosity or possibly a little solicitude, asked him if he needed some aid and he appealed me to get him to a specific section of the bus depot. As the stands were so packed and at each second a new bus would come from either region and as even for a character with two eyes, it was threatening to move without vigilance, I helped him to that particular spot. After a few chat, we withdrew. Again on an ensuing day, I halted by noon to that sector and was intrigued by another visually challenged gentleman who was also coping to attain his way in the crowd and it was known this time that these friends were visiting a free academy run by a charity organization to learn Braille and other instructional materials in that language. In the following days, I met several such gentlefolk, and in the parleys that occurred, came to learn that some are sightless from the very parturition and were mostly young people in the twenties or beginning thirties and sometimes they moved in groups and sometimes alone. I aspired to help additionally by money when with a youthful brother on a different day to see him off. But I discerned that my purse was thin that day and felt pretty grieved that I could not support him enough. There were many souls, especially young pupils of the nearby universities, who were aiding them to find their omnibuses, as this was the principal bus terminus, and had access to all parts of the country. Ultimately, anticipating for my own limousine, I mused over how providential I am to have two eyes which in many moments, I have misused and also felt very beholden towards existence. Besides, I imagined, if my office could be more propitious in helping them in a better way in case I got a million dollars. Quickly the revelation surfaces that I will be performing the same tasks then also, only in a sounder way as far as money is concerned. Perhaps I could help them see this world by some major surgeries. Or get my work disseminated in Braille. But this element is very hazy, and while speaking to a friend later, he warned me that there is another class of blindness, an inner amblyopia, which is crucial and engenders vices, and the outgrowths of it are severe.

P.S.–

Braille is derived from the Latin alphabet, albeit indirectly. In Braille’s original system, the dot patterns were assigned to letters according to their position within the alphabetic order of the French alphabet, with accented letters and w sorted at the end.

The first ten letters of the alphabet, a–j, use the upper four dot positions: ⠁⠃⠉⠙⠑⠋⠛⠓⠊⠚ (black dots in the table below). These stand for the ten digits 1–9 and 0 in a system parallel to Hebrew gematria and Greek isopsephy. (Though the dots are assigned in no obvious order, the cells with the fewest dots are assigned to the first three letters (and lowest digits), abc = 123 (⠁⠃⠉), and to the three vowels in this part of the alphabet, aei (⠁⠑⠊), whereas the even digits, 4, 6, 8, 0 (⠙⠋⠓⠚), are corners/right angles.)

The next ten letters, k–t, are identical to a–j, respectively, apart from the addition of a dot at position 3 (red dots in the table): ⠅⠇]⠍⠝⠕⠏⠟⠗⠎⠞:

Bha i àrd agus bha i na piuthar piuthar Stephanie. Bha e fuaimail na ceumannan aice, mar as trice, le fiolaid luminous saree a shìneadh leatha agus ge b ‘e càit an deach i, dh’ iarr i co-ionnan nach robh duine anns na cearcaill aice, dh’fhaodadh teaghlach a choileanadh eadhon an dèidh oidhirp uabhasach mu dheidhinn. Leig i dheth a dhreuchd fad na h-ùine agus rinn i dleastanasan dhi, is i a ‘bruich a beathachadh, a dh’aindeoin nuair a bha i air a chomharrachadh le sgìth agus gu robh droch dhuilgheadas aige airson greiseag. An oidhche gu lèir, tron ​​fheasgar, bha a ‘chuid as motha de phuirt creideamach agus’ s dòcha gun do chuir i buaidh mhòr air agus gun do rinn i dàil tràth sa mhadainn. Dhùisg i anmoch anmoch, deich gu toiseach an latha agus bha cùisean aodach trom aice a thug i cho fada anns an t-seòmar agus an dèidh sin dhuilich e ann an anail, bha i measgaichte leis na pearsaichean beairteach agus bochd. Chunnaic i a-rithist às dèidh còcaireachd agus bracaist airson an teaghlaich anns an t-slighe a chaidh a rèiteachadh sa bhaile agus cheannaich i na rudan às deidh dha mòran a thogail agus a dheasbad leis na marsantan agus bha a h-uile duine ga meas agus a ‘gairm a màthair. bha i air fear dhiubh a bha eòlach air gach ball den teaghlach aca faisg air ainm agus gairm. Leis gur e baile còmhnaidh beag a bh ‘ann, bha e rudeigin duilich a bhith a’ faicinn dhaoine a-muigh nuair a chaidh iad a-steach, a thachair aon uair ann an greis an dèidh na h-aois ùr, toilichte le leasachadh a ‘bhaile agus a’ siubhal gu dùthaich eile agus nuair a thill iad airson saor-laithean no a ‘faicinn an cuid dhaoine, bha iad a’ giùlain an cuid chompanaich còmhla riutha, agus bha dathan eadar-dhealaichte de sgeinean agus feartan aig na h-aoighean sin, agus phòs cuid de na h-òigridh sin iad fhad ‘sa bha iad ag obair anns an dùthaich sin. Thug iad leis na cèile ùra aca còmhla riutha.
Bha ùidh aig a ‘bhoireannach às dèidh pòsaidh anns a h-uile dad ach a bha a’ bleith gu cunbhalach mu ghrian teth na h-àitichean sin, an taca ris na roinnean fuar bho a thàinig i agus gu tric bhiodh dòighean eadar-dhealaichte aig a ‘bhìdh, a bha na daoine ionadail a’ coimhead gu tric agus nas fhaide air an deasbad anns na cearcallan beaga aca. Mu dheidhinn a ‘bhaile – Bha seann dama bòidheach ann an sgìrean dùthchail a’ bhaile a bha air a chuairteachadh le coilltean beoseberry, agus gu tric bhiodh daoine òga a ‘dol an sàs ann a bhith a’ cruinneachadh nan dearcan a bha searbh aig a ‘chiad chrann, ach an dèidh sin dh’ fhàs iad milis aig buillean leantainneach. Bha an dam air a chòmhdach le coilltean sònraichte a bha air an cleachdadh le ailbhean agus seacain, ach bha tearcan tearc ann agus is dòcha gum faicear duine buffalo no mathan a dh’fhaodadh seasamh mar fhear air dà chas agus gu tric le daoine a ‘cur eagal orra. Tha a ‘mhargaidh air ainmeachadh às dèidh riaghladair a bha a’ strì ri na h-armraichean cèin le claidhnean dùthchasach agus sleagh, ach mu dheireadh dh’fhàillig agus chaochail e ann an stàit eile. Thachair mi a ‘coinneachadh ri piuthar Stephanie sa bhaile bhrèagha seo a bha ainmeil airson a ghaoth neo-ghluasadach tro tholl domhainn sna raointean beinne. Rinn i conaltradh sa Bheurla gu furasta an dèidh dha a bhith air a thogail leis na daoine a-muigh san àrainn nuair a bha an dùthaich fo riaghladh agus rinn i tòrr mòr. Rud iongantach a thachras do bhoireannach a h-aois anns na suidheachaidhean sin agus anns an teaghlach bha i a-mach às a leth seach nach robh cead aig boireannaich òga gluasad a-mach às na cearcallan dùinte aca. Sna bliadhnaichean a dh ‘fhalbh, fhuair i an t-ainm’ Beurla a ‘bruidhinn ammachi’, a ‘ciallachadh màthair a’ bruidhinn Beurla. Bha i gu math duilich eadhon nuair a chaidh a chomharrachadh airson an tumor, bha i na adhbhar airson euslainteach eadar-dhealaichte. Na tha nas motha, aig an àm sin bha an teaghlach air a bhith gu math bochd, an aon mhac aca, dòigh air leth freagarrach airson a bhith a ‘siubhal agus a’ leughadh leabhraichean agus choinnich e ri companach agus dh’fhuirich e ann an àite eile san taobh tuath airson ùine mhòr, math air na h-ìrean as bunaitiche, ach gun a bhith a ‘toirt rian don teaghlach. Bha e cuideachd na dhreuchd, nuair a bha e 34mh co-là-breith, rud a bha fadalach ann am prionnsapalan a ‘bhaile, bha e na dheagh charaid agus bha i air a bhith ag obair leis a’ bhoireannach a bha ag obair agus bhon a bha am boireannach ag obair na b ‘urrainn dha na pàistean a neartachadh. Rinn e ionnsaighean prìobhaideach a-nis agus an uairsin agus thug e ainm air an institiùd aige an dèidh Francis Bacon seach gu robh e dèidheil air stoidhle crisp an sgrìobhaiche. Cha robh ach beagan oileanach a ‘tighinn gu na clasaichean oir bha iad a’ smaoineachadh gu robh ainm an Institiùd gu math corr. A dh ‘aindeoin sin, bha beagan charaidean càirdeil aige sa bhaile agus ailtire de phròiseact ùr a’ bhaile a thadhail air an àite o chionn ghoirid agus bha e na cho-obraiche dheth nuair a bha e ag ionnsachadh thall thairis ………Chaidh piuthar Stephanie, às dèidh suidheachadh droch-ghiùlain, chun an ath bhaile oir cha robh e furasta faighinn a-steach don bhaile-mòr – bha am baile àrsaidh na bhlàr aig an dà riaghladair, fear a bha na cheannard air cinnidhean dùthchasach aig an robh taic bhon sgìre ghaisgich agus an tè eile a bhuannaich rìgh cèin le innealan sàr-mhath. Bha an àireamh aca beag ach bha an uidheamachd glè ùr-nodha agus bhuannaich iad agus thog iad an dùn agus dh’atharraich iad am baile agus an dèidh sin chunnaic e iomadh tuineachadh de dh ‘Iùdhaich, Parsis no Mughals eadar-dhealaichte. Agus thòisich na luchd-tuineachaidh ùra a ‘tòiseachadh le sgoiltean agus ospadalan le ìrean agus goireas nas fheàrr agus san fhad-ùine bha iad a’ dìon na slighe airson leasachadh a ‘bhaile, an cala agus mòr air a’ chladach, agus marina a ‘gabhail pàirt ann an cuid de structaran a tha air am bacadh agus a’ toirt buaidh air beatha oidhche às dèidh sin nuair a thàinig seòladairean bho thall thairis a thàinig gu ìre mhòr airson a bhith a ‘toirt a-steach spìosraidhean agus luibhean agus mècaidhean dubha a bha gu leòr anns na coilltean. Bha cuid de dhotairean ionadail a ‘dèanamh feòil nam moncaidh dhubh agus rinn iad elixir às a feòil agus a chnàmhan agus chaidh an toradh a thoirt seachad sa mhargaidh ann am botail àlainn sealaichte agus tha dùil gum bi iad a’ neartachadh gu làidir ann an spòrs, obair chruaidh no seann aois. B ‘e prìomh rud a bha seo de às-mhalairt a’ bhaile san àm mu dheireadh. Bha loidhne rèile os cionn abhainn mhòr a bh ‘ann am feasgar an t-sreath de luchd-litreachais, agus am measg a’ bhuidhinn sin bha bàrd nach robh a-riamh a ‘toirt aoigheachd dha a bhith a’ faireachdainn gu robh an talamh math aige, am màthair-tìre. Thathar ag ràdh gun do chaochail e ann an aon de na cuairtean aige chun na h-aibhne, agus smaoinich e naomh. Roinneadh cuid de na sinnsearan neoclassical mòra, anns a ‘ghleann àrd, dà stàit agus air an sgaradh le slighe de dh’àiteid agus earrann eile a bha aithnichte airson an t-sìde teann catabatic bhon deas …….. An dèidh dha aillse a lorg, cha do chomhairlich an speisealaiche obrachaidh, oir bha i air a bhith a ‘sìor fhàs agus cha b’ urrainn dha anesthesia a ghiùlan agus mhol iad mu dheireadh radaig, agus bha i an sàs gu misneachail. Nas fhaide air adhart san ospadal, bha i na phrìomh adhbhar brosnachaidh dha euslaintich eile aig an robh ceistean oncòlach coltach ris agus dh ‘obraich na dotairean gu mòr i, oir, a dh’aindeoin a h-uile càil a bh’ aice sa chorp, bha i na euslainteach math.

Bha uncail mòr Stephanie cuideigin a bhruidhinn ris an teaghlach gu tric aig na bùird ithe agus air tachartasan eadar-dhealaichte de thachartas sòisealta an teaghlaich. Dè tha nas motha, bha e na chasaid dhìomhair agus is urrainn dhomh dearbhadh a dhèanamh airson a ‘chinnteachd a dh’aindeoin na clàran mì-chàirdeil a bha air a sgapadh ris anns na cearcallan teaghlaich sin. Nuair a choinnich mi ris an duine iongantach seo aig cuimhneachan, bha a h-uile duine a ‘smaoineachadh gun tàinig e nuair a chaidh an smachd a chuir e fodha a chuir bacadh air a’ ghnìomhachd saor-thoileach aig crìochan sònraichte an locale. Bha na h-ùghdarrasan farsaing fad na h-ùine anns an t-seusan sin air sgàth iomlaid deoch làidir mì-laghail air sgàth ‘s gun do chuir e seachad an tachartas sin. Cha b ‘urrainn dhan t-sluagh san fharsaingeachd sùil a chumail air òl agus bha cuid dhiubh gun a bhith a’ coinneachadh ri tomhas sam bith de stòras gus taic a chumail ris na h-aoigheachdan aca. Cuideachd, thug athair Stephanie fios gu bheilear a ‘sùileachadh gum biodh an t-uncail mòr, sealladh nas iongantach ann an cearcallan na loidhne oir cha robh e comasach dha a h-uile teaghlach dlùth airson timcheall air còig bliadhn’ deug agus thòisich e air aon aurora snog. Cha toireadh a mhac mathanas dha dha airson a ‘chòrr de a làithean agus na balaich cuideachd, ge-tà, bha iad glè thoilichte mu bhith a’ coimhead thairis air eucoir an athar agus an fheum ma bha e na dhleastanasan sna bliadhnaichean a bha a ‘fàs. ….. Mu dheireadh thall, chaidh an t-seann sire a-steach agus bha e snasail agus dorcha agus cuideachd a ‘freagairt gu math le ceumannan a dh’aois le guailnean farsaing agus gun pailteas eun-fhiadhaich a bhios na daoine sin a’ faighinn mar thoradh air tairgseidhean mòra airson fèistean [mar bidh thu a ‘fàs nas sine agus a’ fuireach taobh a-staigh na coimhearsnachd, gheibh thu barrachd thairgsean den leithid] agus na rudan sin a ghabhail gun chuingealachadh. Ann an suidheachadh air choreigin, bha na h-uaislean a ‘dol air adhart agus bha coltas gu robh iad mar dheagh chruthachadh don cheum ann an dèanamh corporra. Thàinig e agus ghabh e a-steach don phrìomh chathair a bha cuid deònach a bhith saor-thoileach agus is dòcha gun robh e anns na h-ochdadan tùsail agus bha na càirdean a ‘coimhead gu coltas gu robh seann dhaoine ann an leithid de aonaidhean. Bha e air leth inntinneach leis an lèine Louis Philippe [bha sin na fhasan anns na cearcallan aige] agus bha na jeans denim a bha e a ‘giùlan follaiseach leis an roghainn de dh’ fhlùinean agus de phàtran, is dòcha aon dhiubh sin, a chuir a mhac air adhart [bha triùir mhac aige] agus bha ea ‘gaggling an tunna. Bhon càite am faigh aon ìre de mhisneachd an dèidh an t-sreath de lapses sin? An dèidh na fèise, bha mi eòlach orm fhèin agus bha còmhradh beag againn nas fhaide às deidh sin mus do shealbhaich mi dà charactar bhuaithe aig a ‘bhòrd. Bhruidhinn mi mi gu iongnadh orm mu Moby Dick agus mucan-mara san fharsaingeachd. Seo muc-mhara mhòir, smaoinich mi ann an dìomhaireachd. Thuirt mi nam b ‘urrainn dha na mucan-mhara tighinn air ais bho àm Adhaimh, is dòcha. daoine cuideachd, mura h-eil iad ann am meud ach càileachd an inntinn, agus thuirt e nach eil e idir. Dh’fhaodadh gur e sin atharrachadh bho obair mhòr muc-mhara Melville. Thuirt mi gur e urram a th ‘ann coinneachadh ris. Thug e duilleag bheag de phàipear bhon aodach bòidheach aige agus leugh e, mo mhuc-mhara milis, am broinn crùbach, cuid de na sgeulachdan a dh ‘innseas mi seachad aig an t-suipeir, cha bu chòir dha cuid a dhèanamh, oir bheir e mallachd air cuimhne màthair màthair, fhathast co-roinn na sgeulachdan seo a tha a-riamh a ‘nochdadh bho àm Pliny … Mar sin, tha grunn de na sgeulachdan. Dh’atharraich mi an cuspair oir bha nas lugha de mhìlseachd na ghuth. Ghabh e làmh agus ghabh e greis mhath, ach dh ‘fhaodadh mi a bhith mothachail gum faodadh an neach a bhith air barrachd a sgrìobhadh no a bhith a’ smaoineachadh nas motha na mhothaidean leòmach nuair a bha e a ‘feitheamh aig stad bus na dùthcha … …. Bha e coltach gu robh e gu math iongantach. Na tha barrachd, thug an neach-tadhail a bha ag ithe faisg air aithris mun sgeulachd a bha aige roimhe. chaidh a ràdh cho fada ris an ìre gu bheil dragh mu theaghlaichean, chaidh e a-mach aon mhadainn mhath nuair a bha a triùir chloinne fo aois sia bliadhna. bha beagan dhleastanasan aige. gu follaiseach, a dh ‘fhaodadh e a bhith air a thoirt seachad fhad’ sa bha e ag obair gu dìcheallach agus a ‘pàigheadh ​​agus a’ dèiligeadh ri teaghlach. Bha sin, gu follaiseach, an suidheachadh. Is dòcha gu bheil rudeigin eadar-dhealaichte, gu bheil e inntinneach a bhith a ‘faicinn spotan, no nach eil gluasad cunntachail de dhroch fhuasgladh a’ toirt buaidh air an t-saoghal iongantach no a ‘faighinn eòlas air beatha ann an dòigh eadar-dhealaichte air falbh bho na h-uile. B ‘e an toradh mu dheireadh gum feumadh an dàrna leth aige a bhith a’ strì airson a bhith a ‘dèanamh seo gu fàs na fir òga gus an tèid gach fear dhiubh seachad air fichead agus tha iad freagarrach airson cosnadh cunbhalach ann an diofar stàitean, cuid dhiubh stèidhichte ann an obair an riaghaltais, a bha an sàs gu sònraichte anns a’ bhuidheann Margaidh pòsaidh, gum feumadh iad a dhèanamh cinnteach gu bheil an nighean bheag aca an dèidh pòsaidh tèarainte agus ma dh ‘fhaodadh tachairt tachairt gu bheil duilgheadasan sam bith air an uidheamachadh gus coinneachadh ris, no airson stiùireadh òigridh no cuibhreannan an-asgaidh agus biadh air reataichean riaghaltais, taic airgid taighean-bidhe, cuibhreann meidigeach msaa. San eadar-ama, bha na h-òigridh sgoinneil ann an sgrùdaidhean, gu h-àraid an dàrna mac, a fhuair tabhartas taice aig gach clas agus neach-labhairt ainmeil às dèidh sin ged nach robh buidhnean foirmeil. Ach chuir e a-mach mar thagraiche neodrach aig sgrùdaidhean a ‘bhaile ge-tà. Ann an suidheachadh sam bith, bha e sgoinneil agus tha e a-nis cumanta am measg mòran air sgàth a chuid obrach anns na h-àiteachan de dhaoine nach eil cho sochair, gu sònraichte na dall. ……… B ‘e boireannach an taighe dìreach tidsear bun-sgoile agus às aonais an duine aice, dh’fheumadh i mòran a thoirt seachad airson na h-òigridh a thoirt suas. Rinn cuid den eadar-theangachadh gun robh e air a sgàth gun deach e a-mach, agus dh’fheumadh a ‘bhoireannach bochda a dhol an aghaidh gach fear de na h-adhbharan agus na gearanan anns na còig bliadhna deug sin gus an do nochd an duine aon mhadainn mhath an dèidh còig bliadhn’ deug. Agus sheall i a-steach mar a bha i a ‘coinneachadh ris airson a’ chiad uair ann am beatha agus na faclan deatamach sin a dhèanamh – An robh am bracaist agad?

Amaranths
From a long drawn repose which he thought lasted for centuries when Stephen awoke from his slumber, he deemed for the first time in his life that he was missing clutch of it. The last couple of days were not euphoric anyhow. They are too intimate to pass a judgment. He saw the edge of it and the energetic phase of the early twenties as an aficionado of football courses and the person who ached for all the veritable young women in the group and envisioned that all were imagining on him.They are not further in his cluttered brain. Finally, the report came that its contents he couldn’t predict. Moreover, during the last two nights, they tufted his body close to a stack of sustenance and four or five men garnered his hands immovably and they recounted that his lamentations could be listened in the whole specialist’s facility and in the neighboring zone. Still, it was seen as a severe loss of potassium. The decline of potassium, they said impacts patients in diverse ways. Likewise, the therapist arrived and chatted with him and asked the quintessential questions. Where are you now Stephen? He answered that he is hopefully in a cabin in Amsterdam, generous Amsterdam, and the specialist told that he was not looking dainty indeed. By then, he came into awareness – The second inquiry, did you see a dream or hear a voice. No, he said. In conclusion, when he had grown into complete discernment, he told the expert that what he knew the other did not know and what the other knew he didn’t have the foggiest idea. The session finished that way. The veteran did not return. In the college, what havoc he wrought in the female consciousness, in spite of all those sugary articulations. That young lady whom he prized was adored by another and it was reciprocal and finally, he lost the race, if you deem it that way. This inspired him to go to the deep seas picking up his father’s fishing industry and see more of azure waters than human faces. He lay supine in the angling watercraft that looked more like a ship, impulsive and vindictive and at times gloomy in weird mornings after a hangover, never discovering his niche in the vast globe and its profound seas that he thought failed to accommodate his frame. When the huge fishes would catch on the harpoon, he was seeing a face in oblivious blue waters and a luscious voice and he couldn’t understand whether it was authentic or imaginary. Moreover, he was malevolent when he got the tremendous net and had colossal contracts, and he told his father that he would not like to marry and he will be a monk. Yet, his father offered that alliance and he submitted to that since he trusted his father greatly and everything obscured as time went on, and his loved one, he appreciated so much in that intimacy. But when his eldest son began emulating his heydays of debauchery, he was dismayed and lost many nights’ sleep. He knew that after a few theatres and crapulences it would subside. Yet he was as of now more patient, acting like a cleric, never unforgiving and constantly understanding the human frailty which is an inborn nature, and the fact that every human is conceived to err and to fall is mortal nature, or else he didn’t require the stay of that planet to correct that delicacy, or he would be somewhither . At last, he napped in a significant rest under the sweat of his loved one’s pieces of raiment and he was alleviated with concern. Now the nurse came and collected his blood specimen for another examination. The air outside the transom was coming over from a foggy firmament and he succeeded to exercise a few strides and went straight to the peephole and explored the segment of pine trees and the amaranth woods, pseudocereals, with its compact reddish clumps of tiny blossoms that appeared to be there only for him. Yes, just for his survey and rejoinder. However, what a brilliant day! Regardless, he isn’t as youthful as was in Amsterdam when he advanced to that taxing night, lost himself in an erratic shimmer-From there he had reached a far extent. However, see now that his uncommon daze arises not for his son’s debaucheries which he hoped would settle one glorious day, but from his youngest daughter, and thinking of that a catch proceeds from his heart region, and he gulped a glass of icy water speedily and he would have acquited if she aspired to be a dancing girl or a starlet, but see now to his terminal catastrophe, she wants to be a nun.

Stìobhan an dèidh dha a bhith a ‘cur a-mach chun a’ bhaile leis an ainm a mhac agus dh ‘iarr e air tachairt an-raoir. An robh thu a ‘glacadh losgainn-? Bha an t-uamhas beothail ag èirigh mean air mhean bho shocair mhadainn agus bha e gu ìre mhòr mu dheidhinn òraidean fuathmhor athar ma dh ‘fhalbh e air a bhith a’ coileanadh a dhleastanasan. ‘S dòcha gun tèid thu a-mach gus faighinn a-mach gur e slang dùthchail a th’ ann a bhith a ‘faighinn losgain agus air a chleachdadh le muinntir an àite airson a bhith a’ cleachdadh ùine gu neo-ionnan no a ‘tighinn gu crìch bho dhleastanasan agus a’ dol gu diofar dhraghan. Seach gu bheil losgannan ann am pailteas ann am pònaichean na dùthcha agus bha beagan dhaoine a ‘smaoineachadh air mar bhiadh fuaim agus blasail agus gan sealg anns na linneachan far an robh mòran thachartasan sòisealta aca. Aon turas, bha boireannaich òga cuideachd a ‘gabhail ùidh anns na geallaidhean seo bho chaidh co-oidhirp a dhèanamh le dà theaghlach, agus na daoine a’ coimhead coltach ri càirdean agus peathraichean agus cho-roinn iad an obair a chaidh iad air adhart. Bidh fios aig daoine nach do chunnaic an tachartas a-riamh dè cho math ‘sa tha an luchd-compàirteachaidh. San fharsaingeachd, chaidh tachartas sòisealta de chòig no sia a bharrachd no barrachd a dhèanamh. Gheibh aon neach am petromax, bidh solas geal iongantach a ‘fàs mòr agus fada. Mar riaghailt, bidh barrachd air aon cheist ann a rèir dè cho cudromach ‘sa tha an oidhirp. Tha na losgannan ann an cuid de na lòin cho colosach agus co-dhiù, chan eil mi air ithe, chaidh innse mar sin mar rud iongantach le eòlaichean ciùird cuid de na càirdean agam a sheall an eòlas. B ‘e màthair an leannan a bh’ ann m ‘athair agus bha mo mhàthair a’ coimhead mu iasg agus cha bhiodh i ag ithe bho lochan agus chrann-loidhnichean agus a-mhàin bho mhuir, ged a rinn i na rudan sin dha aoighean. Bidh na losgannan a ‘fuireach anns na lochan sin chan ann a h-uile latha den bhliadhna, ach seusan sònraichte. A bharrachd air sin, san oidhche ma bha an coltas ann fuireach anns an taigh ri taobh na dùthcha, a fhuair mi gu tur, chluinnidh tu na croaks aige. Bha mòran de mo chàirdean a ‘fuireach an sin.
Ann an taigh an co-ogha, dh’fhuirich mi anns an dùthaich, chluinneadh tu an sgeadachadh sona de na losgannan air an oidhche a dh ‘fhaodadh stad a chur air mionaid sam bith leis an neach-taic sealgaireachd. … Tha, an seo, dh ‘ainmich Steafan a mhac agus dh’ fhaighnich e, an deach thu a ghlacadh a ghlacadh le losgannan – Bha an òigridh, gu dearbh, a ‘dol don taigh-cluiche, a’ cuimhneachadh air a ‘mhiann mu dheireadh a bhith a’ faicinn film gnìomhachd romansach le dithis de a charaidean agus chaidh e air a ‘chùrsa air a’ chùrsa agus bha slat de dhroch dhùthaich aige. Bhiodh na cait eile ag òl agus ag ithe cearc a chaidh a bhruich agus ag iasgach le spìosraidhean teth Oriental agus cluasan dearga a bha air a ‘chlàr-bìdh. Bha an taigh-òsta air a sanasachadh o chionn ghoirid air an eadar-lìon gus luchd-turais cèin a thàladh, a ‘toirt leudachadh air gnìomhachas, agus mòran luchd-ceannach bho chionn fhada agus an earrann fharsaing den t-saoghal a ruighinn. Thug iad ainmean co-aimsireil dha na rudan air a’ chlàr-bìdh agus bha na nithean tarraingeach do sealladh. Mar sin chan urrainn do luchd-leantainn cucairidh a bhith a ‘seachnadh a’ coimhead airson barrachd air aon turas no a ‘seachnadh a dhol air adhart gu na h-àiteachan sin, ma ghabhas sin dèanamh ……. A dh’aindeoin dè an dòigh a chunnaic athair airson sgrùdadh a dhèanamh air a’ chridhe cridhe agus is dòcha gu robh e mar chùis de chardiomyopathy agus a ‘toirt buaidh air aniloplasty mitral. Faodaidh na h-eòlaichean an cridhe cridhe a rèiteachadh, ach chan eil co-dhiù air a chiall. Bha e eadhon a ‘coimhead a’ crathadh luchd-obrach an togalaich airson nach biodh feum air na h-euslainteach fada. Gu h-onarach, tha na rudan sin air an dèanamh le luchd-ùghdarrais làidir agus luchd-iomairt anns na prìomhachasan aca agus nuair a tha iad a ‘gluasad air adhart gu aois, tha coltas gu bheil iad, gu h-àbhaisteach, a’ fàs às an t-sealladh agus a ‘call an cuid imeachd. Nuair a chaidh mi seachad le seann bhoireannach ath-leasaichte na seann aois, a bha na charaid mo mhàthair, dh ‘innis i gun robh e comasach dhut an coinnle a sholarachadh aig do lèine, ach chan eil e idir ag atharrachadh an t-saoghail, seach gu bheil dòigh sònraichte aig an t-saoghal a ‘sruthadh. Bha a ‘bhoireannach seo na ath-leasaiche ainmeil le a gaol aon ann an òigridh agus aig deireadh na meadhan-aoisean ach bha e a’ faireachdainn nach robh e deònach a bhith na briathran. Mhol i nach b ‘urrainn dhi ro-innleachdan an t-saoghail a thuigsinn a dh’ aindeoin a pearsantachd geur agus earrann de na h-uilltan aige falach agus a ‘cinntinn agus gu bheil rudan àraidh a’ tachairt gu math uabhasach uabhasach a dh’aindeoin an obair agad … Agus chaidh Stephen a stèidheachadh a bhith a ‘còmhradh gu cruaidh ris a’ mhac as sine aige, a bha na laighe anns an t-seòmar prìobhaideach a chaidh a fhrithealadh agus a fhuarachadh ann an àireamh 433 agus bha an ceannard meidigeach a ‘coimhead a-mach gu iongantach na aghaidh agus bha e na shealbhachadh nas motha aig Stephen airson a mhac gaoil a bha e a’ smaoineachadh a bha neo-sheasmhach. A bharrachd air an sin, bha an neach-gleidhidh a thàinig gu bhith a ‘faighinn nan deuchainnean fala air a dhì-chomasachadh le fìor dhroch chaotic an euslaintich a bha, gu h-onarach, a’ cumail teann airson aithisg riatanach agus cudromach a thaobh bhanbha a chridhe. Rinn an tè òg rannsachadh air aghaidh an euslaintich a bha a ‘feitheamh aig ìre deatamach ann am beatha agus ann an suidheachadh sam bith, bha Stephen nas motha a-steach do na stiùiridhean a bha dùil aige co-chomhairleachadh leis a mhac bu shine a thaobh cùisean a’ ghnìomhachais na staid a chridhe fhèin.

That morning he had an altercation with his mother on dreams. He said after all these are dreams and why are you so energetic to satisfy them as they are just dreams. Mom chuckled and looking down from the patio[ he had gone to her room, for tea] said, in the event that it is a fantasy, we ought not to quit envisioning but rather should have more dreams or greater dreams and enable others to be a part of those fantasies. I told her that it is a reverberation of Proust and she chuckled again and told – so what- we have same perspectives, once in a while, and giggled again. This was typical of her. She would resolve any circumstance successfully. Once my dad recounted a tale about her in a scene that happened in the main days of marriage. Since their wedding was not affirmed by the community, they needed to escape for one year and return. With them, there was an assistant of the father, a well padded old respectable man who was having a colossal mustache and in any organization, he caused doubt. At the interstate function, the security asked who that old man with him was. Father in all innocence[ he won’t utter lies] was thinking to tell that it was his companion, yet mother intervened like lighting – he is a relative. That settled the case and they got entry into the other domain. Since relatives are permitted to be of any ethnic highlights and you can easily carry a relative with you. Since he isn’t here, as they separated not rapidly but rather after such a significant number of years of conjugal felicity and mother has been distant from everyone else to bring him up, holding up at the school premises, at 3 o’clock when his classes are finished and send him to the tuition teacher with snacks in his tiffin box and again backpedal to her work.Some of his peers ridiculed when she came because she had a habit of chewing betel leaves and keeping the mouth red, which was extremely normal in the town where she grew up and presumably she contracted it from her own mama or grandmother. Now mama still could not overlook the anguish of that bruise that occurred in the middle age because of father’s bust-up. They studied together in the same university, that was a haven of mavericks and bragged of having one of the few mixed hostels in the country. In the initial stages of their connection, father asked her- Which is the best work of Dostoevsky? -[ as reported by her]. ‘Idiot’, mama perceived. You are right, father stated. Evidently, he also deemed so. They were having a rally to the city plaza in protest to some statutes that impaired water supply. Mama told later that reading the same books and attending identical conferences and relishing similar cuisine are not foundations of a successful wedlock. You should have that heart to forfeit, to do it for love, at least for the relationship’s sake. Which in those of days, she was not willing to do and the matrimony ended and she was not to be entirely indicted for it. Father could not extricate himself from his de Quincey caprices…… Now, she was obviously fresh from a good sleep. She was detected of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition characterized by recurrent extensive pain and an enhanced pain response to pressure. Other symptoms include tiredness to a level that regular activities are affected, or sleep difficulties, and difficulties with memory. Fibromyalgia is commonly connected with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress dysfunction. The cause of fibromyalgia is unexplored, still, it is understood to comprise a sequence of genetic and environmental factors. After the recent test with the physician she has been keen on her sleep habits – Earlier she would guzzle red wine and read till midnight or compose her own tune, some of which are sound quality stuff, but she is not interested in making an album. She said it is to unleash her demons, not for other design. But you must incorporate others into your dream, he said. I am already doing so, she said- Yesterday, I came from Calcutta. She was, he remembered, speaking about the private charities she has been performing- Yes, without publicity. Presently she watches out into the cloudy precipices and there was a waterway that was provided in all seasons, in light of the stream from the summit. He said to her- I am busy with work- She took a gander at his face. He knew the significance of that since she had disclosed to him when his first film venture fizzled that, you can increase less from diligent work than getting to be plainly aware of your identity, who you really are in the universe, and that time, you get numerous helpers.

Chaidh an limousine dhan chùirt agus aig a ‘chiad shealladh bha grunnan mansannan ri taobh an rathaid sean agus sinnsear bho amannan Bhreatainn, le clachan dearga air feadh na dùthcha a’ toirt a-mach iad bho na bunaitean concrait. Chaidh an ceum a leudachadh air cùlaibh a ‘ghailearaidh. Bhruidhinn a h-uile gàrradh air eachdraidh, b ‘iad sin an fhaid agus am farsaingeachd a chunnaic mòran shiubhal ann an sìobhaltachd. Cuid de thachartasan mòra a thachair. Air an làimh eile, cha robh e ach rathad sìmplidh, neo-chiontach agus dì-chuimhneach air an àm a dh’fhalbh ach beòthail agus le ruitheam sgileil, agus is dòcha ma dh’èisteas tu gu fada agus gu furachail, ‘s dòcha gum bi thu a’ faicinn a dhroch bhriseadh. Bha an adhar follaiseach bhon chrann eadar na meuran agus cha mhòr nach robh iad a ‘sabaid a chèile agus a’ creidsinn còmhla. Chaidh beagan dhaoine agus leanabain agus boireannaich air adhart tro na làraichean. Bha a ‘bhoireannach a’ bualadh air a ‘bhodach a bha a’ dol a-steach gu grinn agus bha a blobhs air a sgeadachadh le sgeadachadh agus cha mhòr nach do ràinig a làmh an uillt. Gu h-obann, smaoinich e air boireannach a bha na nighean feallsanachd, agus dh ‘iarr e a bhith na bhritheamh air farpais ach dhiùlt i. B ‘e sin mòran chuairtean air ais agus bha coltas ann gun robh e air a bhith ann bho àm gu àm, ach bha e fhathast na dhealbh-shoilleir. Bha an tè a bha an-dràsta a’ sgoltadh an t-sròin agus bha cuideigin bhon chabhsair a ‘nochdadh agus a’ pìobaire le sùil mhuladach ann an doti agus feusaig, òran Omar Khayyam bho Shiraz – agus an t-uabhas de ghong bho thaigh coimhearsnachd aig an oisean – Agus bùthan a ‘reic ashwagandha agus Avena sativa no coirce fiadhaich, uile airson cumhachd agus gnìomh agus an sin mar bhuidheann bheag air beulaibh na bùtha.- bha e na là às dèidh sin uisge, na làithean mu dheireadh ma bhios an t-seusan an dèidh na Nollaige agus feadhainn às deidh an teaghlach a bhith ag obair a-null, a ‘dol gu spàthan gu saor-thoileach, thagh iad oidhcheannan airson cuairtean – agus an duine ri taobh a bhith a’ bruidhinn air ìrean ìosal cortisol air an oidhche agus mòran cuideam ann an malairt cha b ‘urrainn dha a làimhseachadh, agus an tè a bha a’ toirt dragh dha, nach robh thu cho trang, an robh thu fhèin – agus an dithis a ‘gàire a’ smaoineachadh air rudeigin – tha thu a ‘cuimhneachadh air an t-strì a shabaid thu air a’ chiad oidhche ann an Dùn Èideann, agus rinn e gàire – thuirt i nighean damhraidh, a ‘roinn cuid dheth r, Shaoil ​​mi gur e an oidhche mu dheireadh a bh ‘ann, thuirt e agus an dithis a’ gàireachdainn, agus a ‘moladh a h-uile fear airson nan tiodhlacan sònraichte aca – chan eil e iongantach gun do thionndaidh e gu bhith a’ còcaireachd an t-seusan seo, le mòran oileanach a ‘tighinn don luchd-èisteachd aige. làithean de chnàimh ciùin agus chan urrainn dhuinn sùil a thoirt air a ‘chùrsa a thig an t-uisge sìos agus bha e tlachdmhor agus bòidheach coiseachd agus bha e na bu fhreagarraiche agus tha na bùithtean-obrach agus na stòran cuibhle air an gluasad – thionndaidh iad lùb agus chaidh iad gu aon de na beannan de na pàircean agus gu h-obann fhuair an lann fòn agus leig às. Bha na h-eadar-nàiseanan air an lìonadh le luchd-campachaidh agus tha na goireasan stòraidh a ‘tuilte le pasganan agus a’ bruthadh le peann agus streaks agus na soithichean air an luadhadh le fìon-fìon agus ùbhlan, oir thàinig làraidh ùr le bathar mar a bha e, na rudan luibheil a b ‘fheàrr leis na daoine a bha = chaidh fear urram a thoirt air adhart bhon aghaidh aghaidh agus bha e a ‘smearing agus a’ slaodadh agus leanabh gu sònraichte bhon chlas teagaisg sa mhadainn air an rathad. A bharrachd air an sin, boireannach bho thaobh a ‘mhargaidh a’ giùlan bushel glasraich a ‘brùthadh le glasraich, bidh càirdean nas òige a’ toirt a ‘chrainn agus a’ cumail a ‘ghràin air cùl a chuairt. Bidh òigridh an seo a ‘gluasad air baidhsagalan, airson obair agus spòrs agus tha rothair ann an grunn sheòrsachan. Chan eil prìomh thasgadh a ‘bhaile a’ toirt a-steach luchd-siubhail mòra, agus faodaidh na cuairtean siubhal timcheall air iomall a ‘bhaile agus tha coltas gu robh iad gu math furasta agus toilichte. Bha oileanach bho cholaiste a bha faisg air làimh agus a falt a ‘gluasad mun cuairt air ais agus tha ia’ toirt grunn ghluasadan gus a dhèanamh socrachadh. Tha e gu tur ag gluasad oir is dòcha gu bheil an seisean a ‘dol a thòiseachadh. B ‘e madainn àlainn a bh’ ann an dèidh prìomh shùilean an ràith. Thathas a ‘sùileachadh gum bi uisge-uisge ann agus cuid a’ seasamh ris an t-slighe a-steach agus bruidhinn ris na buaidhean. Agus fhuair raon-cluiche beag an taigh-faochaidh buidheann de dh’eòin, lorg iad an dachaigh, agus dh’fhàs iad còmhla ann an gàire mar gum biodh iad a ‘cur fàilte air an t-seusan. Thàinig colman gu dona an sin, agus an uair sin bha mòran de theaghlach fhèin air a chuairteachadh, ach a-mhàin geal aon neach, neach-gairm a chaidh a choimeasgadh anns an èadhar èadhair leis a ‘chlub agus a’ taghadh na h-itheannan a th ‘air an tilgeil le seann neach-siubhail. Bha balach a ‘miannachadh a bhith a’ cluich le rud sam bith nuair a thòisich e air an latha bhon a bha e cho èibhinn sa chridhe anns a ‘ghaoith agus gu robh e gu sònraichte fìdhlearachd le maide a fhuair e air an t-slighe agus aig an ath chòr, choinnich e ri a charaid agus choisich iad còmhla S an Iar- Tha boireannach seasmhach a ‘tighinn agus a’ tighinn a-steach don chòmhdhail eadar-roinneil a bha mar dhearg dathte dearg agus buidhe, ge-tà, cha b ‘e stad sònraichte a bh’ ann agus tha an motair a ‘creidsinn oirre agus mar sin tha i ag ràdh rudeigin agus tha am pasgan anns a’ ghiùlan còmhdhail agus an dràibhear gu soilleir ag innse rudeigin mar thoradh agus mus bi an t-uamhas a ‘fàs gu ìre nach gabh a thoirt gu buil, tha an tubaist a’ tachairt air an taobh eile, agus chaidh an sluagh a thoirt a-steach gu sgiobalta agus an luchd-siubhail a ‘coimhead a-mach gu h-iomlan,
