the Ghandi Toolkit Assistant in Sillycon Valley
While walking on the pleasant streets of Sillycon Valley yesterday, I passed by a few couples, dressed in the apparel from the Indian subcontinent and frowning at me as if I had done something wrong.
I don't know if it is because I let their child get away with lying and really bad crap or because they too are nice now....
I had a long talk the last few days with the ghandi toolkit assistant. I mentioned how about six weeks after I invited him to see my life and world, that those people and things changed in illogical and somewhat repressive ways. That it was so clearly his doing or someone who works with hims' doing that one person who I hadn't told him about (except one mention of dbaseII and manual memorization from the eighties) was almost the same as when I had left him two decades before -- until he chatted online with this new-world, california based son of India.
This is pretty much how the conversation has progressed.
Nice has a different meaning in Hindwiish California
Ghandi has a car and a big belly now. Also, people to clean his home so that he doesn't have to. He is a big fan of the wii.
Here, Ghandi plays some with his wii and Deductive reasoning
Another quality of being nice is that you do not even have to get the bad logic correct.
I was discussing how I could be the same sort of nice back.
Sleep deprivation and imprisonment are non-violent in Hindwiish California
One day Ghandi says, "I understand you are sleeping in my computer room, I will respect that."
The next day, nice means promises and simple due respect do not have to be remembered or maintained.
I was able to joke last week in Montreal about the sleep deprivation. The nice Ghandi toolkit could not navigate himself around the expanded sofa bed I was sleeping on without jarring it violently and waking me up. A week later still being sleep deprived by Ghandi and I am unable to joke about it.
My solution (to move that Pentium II ram and other couple of boxes into the large room with twice the closet space that is all his here) was met by what I (if I were nicer than I am right now) would call "violent opposition". I suppose that offering real solutions is not the best way to acquire more wii accessories, here in Hindwiish California.
Perhaps he is too nice. One of the local Hindwiish elders could perhaps use some verbal and language skills to tell me what makes them frown on these nice nice streets they walk on....
While isolated here in Hindwiish California, it is true, there have been many times that I have interpreted things in a strange way, felt very very hurt by my perceptions of peoples implications and have often felt very traumatized by things I read via the computer and see on the television/TiVO. What is the most interesting part of those last few years is that both the computer and the television/TiVO are part of the ghandi-toolkit assistants network.
There are some facts that, when I ask for specific information, I retain and always get correct in the retelling.
All done now, bwii bwii!
First, the ghandi-toolkit assistant (already with a big belly but not then in need of more wii accessories) reported that he came from a loving family with two educated and respectable parents. That they had opted to not follow the caste recommendations when they married and were such better people for this.
Next, the pre-wii ghandi-toolkit assistant (with a bigger belly) reported that his dad had beat him once for telling a really really big lie.
Now, the wii-toting ghandi-toolkit assistant says that his father beat him repeatedly and decided not to do that to his younger brother.
He did not mention if he had sleep deprived his dad and caused him to stay in the computer room. He also did not mention if he had stolen his dads' menstrual cycle and denied him access to money to live on and people who were friendly. Maybe Ghandi used his network to make his dad do this and then I get the same niceness because, Lord Knows!, nice Hindwiish California needs more wii accessories!
Can somebody turn me into an instant nice-aire?
Ghandi has all the nice here.
