linguistic interlude // lingva interludo

(EN) gurmukhi ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ and shahmukhi شاہ مکھی are the two scripts used for writing punjabi; in india and pakistan respectively; 
i recently found out that 
-- gurmukhi means from the teacher's mouth, and 
-- shahmukhi means from the king's mouth.

(EO) gurmukhi kaj shahmukhi estas du abocoj por skribi la pangxaban lingvon, en barato kaj pakistano lauxorde; lasttempe mi malkovris ke
-- gurmukhi signifas 'el la busxo de la instruisto', kaj
-- shahmukhi signifas 'el la busxo de la regxo'

(EN) however, the alphabet that has been fascinating me lately is devanagari, the meaning of which i could not find for certain (deva = god; ... devanagari is used for writing hindi, sanskrit -and more languages in india- and nepali)

(EO) tamen, la aboco kiu cxitempe logas min estas devanagari, kies signifon mi ne certe trovis (deva = dio; ... devanagari estas uzata por skribi hindi, la sanskritan -kaj pli da lingvoj en barato- kaj la nepalan)

devanagari --> देवनागरी

(EN) right at the very top we ask, 'where is the [old] world heading'. 

it seems we have entered the era of IN-humanity, where the most unimaginable, apocalyptic, fierce, anti-21st c. scenarios are taking place; what used to be called politics is a collection of exhibitions of power, of blackmailing and threatening, in a setting where the average human, the silent watcher or the active defender of morality, values, and human achievement, loses the concept of logic: what is democracy, law, human right, freedom (individual and social), what is humanity, what is peace, what is equality and harmonious coexistence...

no. fierce is all it is. wild is the word. monstrous is the new concept.
until. well... . ...until.

(ES) lo que preguntamos ahí arriba, sobre el rumbo de este mundo, es una pregunta ya permanente. lo que está sucediendo simplemente refleja una era nueva para la humanidad, por mucho que nos cueste reconocerlo o aceptarlo, ya que todo lo que representa valores, derechos (individuales y sociales), la posibilidad de coexistir en el planeta como iguales, el concepto mismo de democracia, libertad y paz, está en peligro. directa y abiertamente. lo que solía llamarse política es una constante exhibición de poder salvaje, de chantaje y amenazas. 

y no. no es éste el s.XXI que nos imaginábamos. una sociedad de monstruos es la realidad nueva.
hasta que. bueno... . ...hasta que.

(EL) γιὰ τοὺς ἑλληνόγλωσσους, ἑλλαδίτες - κυπρίους - ἢ τῆς διασπορᾶς, εἶναι περιττὲς οἱ ἐξηγήσεις. ἡ νεοταξίτικη ἀτζέντα ἐξακολουθεῖ, πιό ἄγρια καὶ πιό ἐπιθετικὴ ἀπὸ ποτέ, νὰ δείχνει τὰ -χαλασμένα, μὰ μακάβρια-- δόντια της, καὶ ἀδίστακτα ἐπιχειρεῖ, ἀκόμα καὶ ἐν μιᾶ νυκτί, νὰ ἐπιβάλει τὴν αἱμοσταγῆ ἐξουσία της. 

ὥσπου νά. ...ἔ. ...ὥσπου νά.




IMPORTANT NOTE: as shown in the second picture above, the northern part of the island of cyprus (which is obviously the current epicentre of the discussed topic), a 37% of the total territory, was invaded by turkish troops in july 1974, and, against international law, is still being occupied today, and Nicosia, the capital (greek: Λευκωσία [lefkosía] ) is the only divided capital in europe.

la comunicación agradable, la comunicación problemática.
la comunicación ausente.
las almas que escriben con alma y arrojan sus botellas electrónicas en el océano, un océano www.

un océano antrópico.

ὠκεανὸς ἀνθρώπινος. ἀνθρώπειος.

'uno nunca quiso ser héroe, nunca tuvo interés en ser mártir', escribimos. y ellos entendieron.

la felicidad de antaño, cuando estaba claro (?) que íbamos a vivir --¡qué suerte!-- en un lugar y una época sin guerra, que nuestra generación no iba a sufrir como la de nuestros padres, de nuestros abuelos, de nuestros... ...; pero nos tocó otra cosa. nos tocó esto. a nosotros, a nuestros hermanos del mediterráneo, y a muchos más. 

¿entonces?

vivir. de acuerdo. un eufemismo. εὐφημισμός, ὅπως τόσοι ἄλλοι.

and what comes to mind, lo que se te ocurre por enésima vez, that sweet song by VNV. and you sing along. and you feel along,

arrojando tu propia botella. de noche.

my restless soul is longing/
no pain remains no feeling/
eternity awaits.'//

murdering a nation // mortigante nacion

athens, greece // ateno, grekujo
06.02.2013 (!!!)

distribution of free vegetables by farmers on strike. needy citizens in line for hours for a plastic bag of a few tomatoes or cabbage etc. ...




the politicians who obey foreign centres of power and carry full liability for a whole nation being murdered, you can see here .


the minister who supposedly is doing good for the country´s economy, but in reality participates in the crime and does not even hesitate to DISobey court rulings in order to serve the same masters as the three beings above is this one





and last but not least, the being who eagerly agreed to this criminal adventure and surrendered this country to his masters without asking anyone, by cheating and lying to step to power, by turning the constitution -- all institutions -- the concept of democracy and justice itself, now a re-elected MP (?) but absent abroad most of the time (?!), is here




and the killing spree is going on...

volante

volante skribi ( = blogi) pri cxiuj interesaj temoj de la vivo --personmaniere vidate, certe-- cxefe pri lingvoj, sed ankaux pri muziko, pri landoj kaj kulturoj, pri...

también sobre perSonaS muy interesantes, contactos en medios sociales y encuentros civilizados y amables ( = agrablaj retaj renkontigxoj) con gente de un montón de países que

share some of the same interests, follow a calm spiritual path and --most of all-- have the whole humanity in mind, contribute generously without making any noise

ce qui fait que chacune de ces rencontres, qu'elle soit courte ou moins courte, n'importe, puisse justifier pour quelques instants ce médium, rempli de choses (et gens?...) pas utiles, superficielles ou même directement dangereuses,

tako da se imaš dobro, res dobro, ker si našel vse te zanimive stvari, imel si morda lep pogovor, ali si samo videl, še enkrat, da zgodbe in informacije na internetu so lahko tudi fenomenalne - talentirane - odlične, ampak

nachher befindest du dich noch einmal allein, mit der bekannten Frage, mit dem Zweifel, mit dem unangenehmen Gefühl, dass du eben kein 'Recht' hast, darüber weiterzuschreiben, zu informieren, zu 'bloggieren', denn

πολὺ ἁπλά, ἡ γνωστὴ καὶ ἀμετάβλητη καὶ ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδυσώπητη ἐγχώρια πραγματικότητα καλεῖ ξανὰ καὶ ξανά, ἀφαιρεῖ τὴν ὅποια ἱκμάδα, τὸ ὅποιο κέφι, προσγειώνει καὶ ἀπαιτεῖ ΄ τὰ δικά της, τὰ ἐναντία τῶν δικῶν σου. κι ἐκεῖ τελειώνει.

THE beast AND I

last spring we were feeling wonderful :))

we thought --no: we were Convinced  that something BIG was happening, at last. 

the Arab Spring had already set a precedent, then our Spaniard Brothers  (#15M) had continued carrying the torch, and just days later, #25M, it was our turn.

the evenings and nights on the square, the yelling, the debates, the acts of protest, the happenings, the music, the screenings, the live connection with other european cities, the BrotherHood, the MAGIC... it was the power of a feeling, of a Knowledge that Here and Now the wonder is taking place, the new earth is ours, the future is now.

i was mistaken. we were mistaken.

the System --in reality: the system-- had yet to show its teeth; the plague not only was not cured or even reduced, it actually started spreading [cuz that's what plagues do] gaining new power, multiplying its tentacles and its heads: the heads of the Beast. sure, some victories did happen on our side, some [minor?] samples of an impact on the criminal establishment(s) appeared, occasionally; but we hadn't calculated the hypnotic mesmerising effect of its perverted nature on all its servants. we had not.

which only meant that the battles grew stronger, more intense and more fierce, and less far between. until they turned into this Giant --in reality: giant-- battle that now involves many more people(s), many more lives, many many more hopes and visions and legitimate dreams that need to be restored. a HUGE cry for Justice, until now dormant - absent - hostile, is producing a deafening sound and becoming the heroic soundtrack of this phase of the glorious(?) 21st century. 

it's the beast against US. against You. against Me. 

it's a dying beast. it has to be handled with care: relentlessly, stubbornly, courageously but fairly and carefully. the time for words has ended. we --you and i, and more and more people(s) every minute-- know who our opponent is. and most of all, we know exactly what has to be done. 

the Future Is Now.
