Semantica's Phoenixation
A Fire has three essential life stages – initiation, sustenance and extinction. If you ever ask it which part of its life is the most painful, it will begin serenading – ‘staying alive, staying alive eh eh eh eh ’.
The infernal fires of Mordor smolder in my heart for perpetuity. Their number ranges between ten to fifteen, each having sparked as I understood myself better. And then some extinguished, leaving behind vestiges in my persona (non) grata. Often I come across old friends who point me to them. The message has metaphorical allusions -- “666 remember there is a small growth at the end of your large intestine which was once your tail, an object of proud possession and swagger!”. Anyways these fires have burnt out, but mind you they were one helluva inferno when they blazed.
This brings me to the case in point. Before I throw any elucidation on this crazy-rant-on-some-fires-and-dragons, allow me the use of euphemism – lets call these ‘fires’ as ‘passions’. So read over the post afore with the following macro running on your neural compiler
(Find) ‘fire’ (Replace with)‘passion’
I shall wait allowing for different processor speeds of my readers. (Whistling while you re-read)
Ahlan wa sahlan. Welcome back. NOW I shall talk straight :-) All this while I have been talking about my myriad pied passions. How they began, how they died and the problems I face sustaining them. One such passion is etymology – word origins. A little bird told me that my off sprung blog ‘Semantica’ lies in a state of neglect. Mea Culpa.
Let me fix some SLAs here (Service Level Agreements). Semantica will be updated every Sunday. Would request interested readers to take cognizance and insert an interrupt in their compiler routines :-) My immediate goal is to achieve 6 sigma quality in compliance to set SLA.
Ok then .. let me resume what I had fondly embarked on some moons ago. All of us have heard of the word ‘posh’. Posh Spice being the word’s celebrity endorsement. Have you ever wondered where did this word come from. Voila! You can outsource the thinking to me, sit back and read the fascinating albeit apocryphal tale of the word ‘posh’
And oh.. thanks little bird!
