Namaste

 

The three videos link below (Feb 2021  workshop) , from Poorna-Prajna-Samshodhana Mandiram / Pejawara Swamy ji  could help to clarify the current understanding  of Samskrutham  Varna-Shikshaa.

 

The  video is in Kannada; but it should not pose any difficulty in capturing the essence of the ‘Shikshaa’ pronunciation part.

 

Links: https://youtu.be/dSY_ZOtTjuMhttps://youtu.be/F5hrIWTeL_E;   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSY_ZOtTjuM ;

 

Why is this important ?   The user-seeker  does not get the  ‘Yoga:  Traditional Meaning, Usage guidance,  Purpose and Benefit’ of Distorted Samskruth –Word’.

                                                                  The  errors from all these streams cumulatively flows in to ‘ Sanskrit-TECHNOLOGY ADAPTATION/MODELING/ANALYSIS.

                                                                               The outcome of  Panini-Language - document suffers. This also has a deep  bearing on ‘How Samskruth is Taught  and  Used  in applications.

                                                 This DISTORTION of SAMSKRUTH WORD comes in several modes !  and is prevalent widely in several academic discussions. 

                                                 The  distortion modes, especially when it relates to  Meemaamsaa works related usage, occur through the following:

                                                  (i) By  careless pronunciation  (ii) regionalization (iii)  reading through  ‘alien script-representation’ (iv) preferred adjustments to align to a different word

                                                   (v) insensitive substitutions (vi) individual specific fine tuning of pronunciation , marked as ‘ patha- paathaka –bhedas’.

 

Scholars may have difference  of opinion.  Techno linguists have  their own models to align Samskruth related Text to Speech and Speech to Text transformations, by Machine standards.

 

The above  videos now provide a traditional reference to discuss further.

Brilliant!! Thrilling to watch this attack on the pseudo-traditional aha-ihi-uhu cough-cough pronunciation - from a person of high-standing no less! 

I agree to his objections, though not entirely with his conclusions.

Also, certain corollaries easily branch off this regarding the purported invariance of vaidika pronunciation across generations.

On < purported invariance of vaidika pronunciation across generations   >   :

 

Question:   What is your view on ‘Standard Pronunciation of Samskrutha Varna-akshara –Svaras’ ?   which are also technically called ‘  Shuddha-Paatha- Upa-Desha’ ?   ‘UccaharaNa- AnoocchaaraNa’ ?

 

                       How would you suggest   a protocol  for ‘Validation of a Standard Phoneme’ -  a key issue in ‘Voice-Signature-Security programs?

 

Experience shows that just one  word ‘ It is me’  over telephone gives confirmation on Speakers Identity. How does Mind manage this ?

Very appropriate modern illustration for ‘dangers of mis-pronunciation and machine-comprehension of  human command’ - the classical  Panini-Statement: Second line, particularly ‘ yajamanam hinasti –  

          

        ‘mantro hIna: svarato varNato va mithyAprayukto na tamarthamAha|

 

        sa vAgvajro yajamAnam. hinasti yathendraSatru: svarato' parAthAt||

 

There are many other humorous illustrations, ‘ modakaih –taadaya’….., svajana-shva-jana…..

Dear BVKS,

Please don't underestimate the scale and spell of the marvels
(euphemism for mortifications ensuing) modern technology efffects:
You are empowered to "alter" the mantra as
yajamānān hinasti !

Had it not been said:
ekas tu kurute pāpaṁ
phalaṁ bhuṅkte mahājanaḥ
- even in olden times?

The modern proverb says:
To err may be human;
but to really foul things up, it requires a computer!

Natural Fooolishness is not even in the race
to compete with Artificial Intelligence!

How does the mind manage to distinguish faces? What's so extraordinary if the brain has learned to distinguish voices using the voice-box specific sound signals in receives? Again, what's the context for this random questionnaire?

1.Agreed.

 

2. Was that an intended message from ‘ Shambooka-Story  related to  Ramayana’; a story discussed in bad light !

 

3. On a  humour mode- modification of Panini  ( even if he is inside lions belly  ! ) 

 

      What would be your improvisation to  Panini-Caution on Voice Recognition – Commands for Computerised Missile Launch systems ? An effort to craft a poem describing the given image ?

Why would I suggest any such protocol? Why is this even relevant in this thread?

 

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^

BVK Sastry (3 ) :  ‘Why’ ?    Because you challenged , criticized , ridiculed  and came up with your mind on a ‘Practicing Tradition’ and ‘How a scholar- respected –practicing-authority of tradition presented the subject’ !   ‘Freedom of speech’  does not mean ‘free speech –option  without responsibility to honourably defend  the speech’ .  Here is what you posted publicly .

 You are free to have your opinion; have disagreement with a teaching tradition !    but modesty in expression is to be observed. Did you take / explore an opportunity to check with the researcher on why he has presented such views ? even if it is ‘within the tradition’ and ‘close corridors of Guru-Kul- traditional  practice’?   


:-) I have enquired many people about aha-ihi-uhu pronunciation and more. Why should I assume that I am a lazy bum who mouths off without undertaking reasonable effort?

I remain mystified as to what this has to do with Voice-Signature-Security protocol etc.. You can disagree with and challenge my opinions, but throwing in hollow buzzwords and putting crooked (rather than straightforward) questions don't seem to be a good way to go about it.

 Experience shows that just one  word ‘ It is me’  over telephone gives confirmation on Speakers Identity. How does Mind manage this ?

 

How does the mind manage to distinguish faces? What's so extraordinary if the brain has learned to distinguish voices using the voice-box specific sound signals in receives? Again, what's the context for this random questionnaire?

 

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^

BVK Sastry (4 ) :   You are mixing up issues and confused !  Explore basics of ‘Shikshaa –Shaastra on Varnotpatti  before talking of  advanced  issues like ‘ mind manage to distinguish faces’ ? and mixing with   You seem to mix up the  elements of  ‘ Cognitive Science studies: Visual  and Voice Parts : Technical  terms related to  संज्ञा-   स्फोट analytics.

This is not a random questionnaire pl.  It is  a quest to know if you can provide a better insight in to  the subject, beyond voicing a opinion and criticizing a tradition and traditional authority.


You don't need to be driven berserk based on a simple analogy. In any labeling problem, features of the input (shape of the ear or amplitude of various frequencies) determine the label assigned ("this is rAma", "that is brahma"). Rather than throwing in subject names (as if that's what being insightful means) maybe you should actually teach yourself some programming and solve some real world problems (be it identification of faces or voices). There are freely available datasets as well as open-source implementations of pertinent machine learning algorithms.

 

This is asking you to justify and defend your < स्वाभिप्रायः  >  

If you want me to justify and defend my abhiprAya, you could have skipped the silly games and strightforwardly stated your objections and solicited my response.

In this respect, your < स्वाभिप्रायः  >  falls short of  several deep frameworks involved in  Panini-Shikshaa sampradaya,  ‘ Maatrukaa- Paddhati- Analysis, Shiva-sutra Phoneme-analysis, Vaidika-Shikshaa-sampradaya, ’  and also  ‘ the frontiers being explored in ‘Consciousness –studies, Brain-Mind interface studies’.

If this is what you intend to show, you should do a better job. If it violates pANinIya shixA you may note the appropriate shloka and show that the stated "abhiprAya" runs counter to it. Just declaring "It violates Shiva-sutra Phoneme-analysis yo" is about as useful as "I don't like Ice Cream" in that there can be no useful response to it.

I will let you discover  these things by ‘self-experience’ and ‘ over a period of time’.  I am not your teacher and you are not my student.  No ill feelings, No hurt.

Thanks for the response. For my part, I have no performance-based agenda, and will respond in any language convenient.

  

1.   I appreciate your enthusiasm and young –energy to pursue Panini studies, albeit the path you have chosen seems to be ‘ Personal Opinion driven and  overriding the  Living-Tradition and Texts of Tradition’.


Your analysis is totally incorrect. Texts of tradition and living tradition are often at odds in many vedAnga-s (including jyotiSha and shixA) - I find myself more at odds with the latter than the former. That some privilege the latter is no less their "personal opinion".

 

 It may  take some time  to figure out your own study bearings and  ‘inbuilt-pitfalls and poison –pills’ in your approach.


Ditto to those who blindly follow current tradition (or should I say current fashion).

Same here. Albeit, I am happy to learn what I can from anybody - be it a child or a fool who mostly sends निःसार posts or a learned pedant like a member or two here. That said, my nature is to refuse to cooperate and act as a foil for grandiose nonsense.

Sure - there are multiple meanings one can ascribe to saMskRta (for example, I find the unrefined spelling "Samskrutham" so yucky that I can't get myself to use it.). No disagreement so far.

Samskrutham is ‘How well the individual speaker, for himself, articulates the thought in a ‘refined unified mode’.  Do you meet this standard ?

I let you live in your 'realm of happiness' and dream world !

The ‘Samskruth-Computer /Panini-Machine’  work is very much in progress, real and live.  All ongoing research is not thrown open to satisfy curios people. In case you want to read more  pl. feel free to explore my published work:  https://www.amazon.com/SANSKRIT-COMPUTERS-revisit-2020-VENKATAKRISHNA-SASTRY/dp/B089CSNGG2  [ Please understand - I am not promoting the book, through this opportunity and platform. ].

Good to see that you want to  have yourself  excluded  in a  global emerging area  of ‘Cognitive Linguistic –Sciences’  by  passing short-sighted, biased  and  definitive judgement-sentences !  Even before understanding  the ongoing work, development and powers driving the work.  May be you need the ‘ teertham’ from a specific ‘ conch’ of your liking.  I hope someday you will be free from your blinker-blocked vision towards Panini-Language to see the reality and power.

 

Till then, Keep Peace.

Sure, I'll reflect on myself.

That said, I can't help but laugh at your throwing so much dung to hide your inability / unwillingness to clarify what tradition you refer to in association "Standard Pronunciation of Samskrutha Varna-akshara –Svaras ... technically called ... ‘  Shuddha-Paatha- Upa-Desha’ ?   ‘UccaharaNa- AnoocchaaraNa’ ". What a golden example of "How well the individual speaker, for himself, articulates the thought in a ‘refined unified mode’" - LOL. 

Not to mention, you claimed my abhiprAya of how visarga should be pronounced falls short of  "Panini-Shikshaa sampradaya,  ‘ Maatrukaa- Paddhati- Analysis, Shiva-sutra Phoneme-analysis, Vaidika-Shikshaa-sampradaya, ’  and also  ‘ the frontiers being explored in ‘Consciousness –studies, Brain-Mind interface studies’" without being able to demonstrate anything solid beyond throwing in such buzzwords. And you still wonder why the issue of your courage and forthrightness (or lack of it) is pertinent.



 

pl. feel free to explore my published work:  https://www.amazon.com/SANSKRIT-COMPUTERS-revisit-2020-VENKATAKRISHNA-SASTRY/dp/B089CSNGG2  [ Please understand - I am not promoting the book, through this opportunity and platform. ].


Sorry, I don't feel like spending 10$ on it. If there were a free copy, I would take a look at it and see if there is indeed anything non-trivial/ non-banal and worthwhile in it.

If your emails are anything to go by: it will all still be description of shasha-shRnga articulated in ‘refined unified mode’. You can write on cold fusion while at it! :-D

 

3. On <Let me go forth and say - I am quite certain that for all the bluster above, no one (specially including you) is not going to revolutionize Neural network sciences, Cognitive Sciences, Computational linguistic sciences, HMI, A.I by applying "pANinIya shixA" or "sphoTa theory" or whatever. People are welcome to keep trying or pretending that they're doing something great without anything to show for it - but the world won't be fooled and will mostly see through such प्रतारण. > :    

 

Good to see that you want to  have yourself  excluded  in a  global emerging area  of ‘Cognitive Linguistic –Sciences’  by  passing short-sighted, biased  and  definitive judgement-sentences !


Hey - I note that you have been caught lying about "lead institutes" and unable to counter the below.

Voice-signature security protocol or anything close to it does not use pANini-sanskrit studies. I challenge you to demonstrate any such research by "any lead institute". By claiming such links, you are actively propagating nonsense, and doing great disservice to the gravitas of what you call "Panini language –tradition" and its genuine votaries.


 

  Even before understanding  the ongoing work, development and powers driving the work.  May be you need the ‘ teertham’ from a specific ‘ conch’ of your liking.  I hope someday you will be free from your blinker-blocked vision towards Panini-Language to see the reality and power.



Just because I don't buy into your fraudulent claims, it is wrong to conclude that I have blinkered vision about "Panini-Language". Whatever the personal benefit you derive from such (I don't know how much you've earned or will earn with such hollow claims), I am pretty confident that you will not achieve anything worthwhile in "Neural network sciences, Cognitive Sciences, Computational linguistic sciences, HMI, A.I" using sphoTa theory and pANini magic even by 2040 (or should we wait till 3000 CE LOL).

I think both of you have shown your true colors, making the rainbow shy.

While it is entertaining to follow this match of wits, maybe it can be shifted to personal emails, since the story is not moving forward, from point of view of suspense, plot twist, etc.

Even in the Kuru sabha, the elders kept silent, and a 'mahakavya iti-hasa'. Let us not cheer a haraNa here.

TRP decline is unavoidable after some time.

I let you live in your 'realm of happiness' and dream world ! This shows very clearly that you have no understanding/ nay different understanding  of 'Panini-Language Modelling' treating it as one more language like 'English' , as  taught by  colonials !

Geniuses like Pāṇini are rare—in the past and present. But surely he did not create his śāstra for computing. Rather, by use of phrases like prācām, udīcām, bhāṣāyām, vyatyayo bahulam, etc., and by pointing out of irregularities in the form of exceptions, it is clearly indicated that he viewed the language as any other living language of the masses that is significant due to historical reasons and not due to some intrinsic property that makes it stand apart. Indeed, no one who doesn't get this can create such an outstanding work.

Namaste Vishvas Vasuki Mahodaya

                      (1. Trail mail left below for readers reference. 2.  I am listening to the advice of seniors and forum moderators. In view of this, I feel there is no need to respond to negative, emotional, personal outbursts and targeted personal opinions on Panini-Research-Deliverables’ in my response below.) 

 Focusing on post-response specific issues:

 Issue 1 (Tradition which sets Samskrutham:Standard Pronunciation) .

          On <clarify what tradition you refer to in association "Standard Pronunciation of Samskrutha Varna-akshara –Svaras ... technically called ... ‘Shuddha-Paatha- Upa-Desha’ ?> :

Response (1) :    The  ‘Standard Pronunciation of Samskrutha Varna-akshara –Svaras ... technically called ... ‘Shuddha-Paatha- Upa-Desha ‘ – also linked to ‘Shiva-sutras’ -  is the tradition approved  and adapted by Panini-Patanjali. This is called as 'Vednaga- Shikshaa-Shaastra'.

The IPA (International Phonetic Association) standards and notations fall short in capturing the requisite precision of 'Vedanga - Shikshaa- Shaastra'. The modeling of 'visarga' in Panini-Patanjali sampradaya follows a different modelling and analytics compared to the one followed in IPA and other 'language-teaching -training disciplines'.

This is stated upfront in Patanjali Mahabhashya tradition explaining the purpose of ' Vyakarana-study'.  

To learn 'Maatrukaa- Paddhati',  one need to serve the 'Dvaitacharya tradition and receive 'upadesha' on'Varna-akshara-Viniyoga'.

Other options in tradition is to learn from 'Sri-Vidya-Practitioners on technicality of Beeja-akshara nyasa-vinyasa'.

One more option is to get to a ' Veda- shikshaka' who is trained in 'Shadanga- Vedanga-Vak-yoga' sampradaya.   

My earlier statement stands thus : < Current prevalent views on how visarga should be pronounced falls short of  "Panini-Shikshaa sampradaya, ‘ Maatrukaa- Paddhati- Analysis, Shiva-sutra Phoneme-analysis, Vaidika-Shikshaa-sampradaya’.  These are traditions for 'learning-using -Samskrutham'; The training is not for 'demonstration of lung power driven word-circus and jugglery in creating a flutter of sounds'.

Issue 2 (Satisfying appetite of free culture):

Response (2) :  To satisfy the 'Free Culture' appetite, there are enough 'free pages' of book accessible at the link provided for the publication.  

 Issue 3    All other  irrelevant non-issues  and outbursts

 Response (3) :   There is no need to respond.  The Simple conclusion: There is need to help people on how to see ‘Panini- Language- Modelling Clearly without blinkers and colored lens’.                          This would help to resolve the challenge-statement tagged to NASA/ Dr. Briggs stands out since 1984 standing to resolve and deliver. The help needed is in deriving the Science of 'Human-Machine- Interface Model' from Panini-Patanjali-Yaska Vedanga  Vakyoga-Samskrutham tradition.

A little bit on genesis of this exchange:  This thread issue started from my sharing a reference to 'videos'- providing a traditional reference to discuss 'Samskruth -Articulation -Standards'.  The exchange was triggered due to the response < यद्यपि बहुत्र स्वाभिप्रायोऽन्यथाऽस्ति, -  I agree to his objections, though not entirely with his conclusions. Also, certain corollaries easily branch off this regarding the purported invariance of vaidika pronunciation across generations. ...  Thrilling to watch this attack on the pseudo-traditional aha-ihi-uhu cough-cough pronunciation - from a person of high-standing no less! >

This is where I was prompted to seek more helpful elucidation of what was covered under the hood of < स्वाभिप्रायोऽन्यथाऽस्ति >.   

Development to a degenerated response :  The response was completely defocused and degenerated from the focus of the issue, namely ‘Samskruth Varnakshara : Pronunciation standards by Traditional norms’. . 

  In my opinion, it is critical that the basics about the design, intent, purpose of 'Paniniya Shkishaa and Vedangataa of Vyakarana' need to be concurred on this scholarly forum. Failing which the proliferation of negativity and false views will fill the space.

My submission:  I welcome any one/ team wiling to  join  my effort to design and deliver a 101 lesson on  ‘Samskruth Varnakshara :Pronunciation standards by Traditional norms’ which can be useful for  ‘Samskruth-computer-Panini Research’. The course could be subject to audit by  a team of peers and learned senior scholars well versed in Samskruth Language related to  Computing and Cognitive Technology.  The course plans to explore the ‘Science and Technology direction of the lead – question :: 'Kimartham adhyeyam Vyakaranam' ? 'Why Shikhsaa precedes Vyakarana and Nirukta follows Vyakarana in study-prescription. The starting investigation would yield ‘ Exploration of Shiva-sutras to get at the Voice- Character set’  for ‘Programming Language Models and Processes’. 

This is to set a framework to explain 'What Panini -Research means and aims for in vision of  Panini Machine' .

A response to the below, which was sent 3 days ago was rejected by the moderator (shrI nAgarAja) per a notification received today, with no pointed listing of objections (other than some template mentioning general criteria like "appropriateness" and "offensive expressions"). Since it is difficult to gauge what facts and objectively true statements pass his filter of inoffensiveness, I omit most of my point-wise response (and just lay blame on "degeneration" of thread to utterly incoherent citations pertaining to both Computer Science and Sanskrit faced with my expectations of probity and clarity) and resend just the most salient part of it (pertaining to the famous Rick Briggs paper, an old source/ tool of befuddlement).

Rick Briggs' original paper is available here: http://www.aistudy.co.kr/paper/aaai_journal/AIMag06-01-003.pdf

The crux of the paper, in the author's own words:

"Among the accomplishments of the grammarians can be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical not only in essence but in form with current work in Artificial Intelligence. This article demonstrates that a natural language can serve as an artificial
language also, and that much work in AI has been reinventing a wheel millenia old ."

Important to note that he was NOT saying -

- that Sanskrit in general (with arbit sandhis, samAsa-s) is ideal for AI (nAgesha's shAstric sanskrit or even the recently proposed Simple Standard Sanskrit is a limited subset/ dialect of Sanskrit; just as limited subsets of other languages can be similarly useful), 
- or that Sanskrit is uniquely suited for knowledge representation (look up Conlangs), 
- or that, given the "reinvention of the wheel" which had taken place by 1984, computational knowledge representation systems have anything further to gain from Sanskrit tradition .
 

Let me say this clearly for the benefit of sanskrit scholars who don't grok Computer Science: 

- NASA is NOT doing Sanskrit-based AI research. 
- Unlike Sanskrit, 40 years is like ages in a field like Artificial Intelligence. Sphota or kAraka is NOT the cutting edge of AI research. 
- Please understand that there exist computers today which (when provided similar large-scale context) are able to match and beat humans in natural language understanding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_(computer)#Jeopardy! ) without taking resort to the use of shAstrik sanskrit or some other natural language for that matter.

1.   Dr. Briggs Paper is invoked once more with an observation  < Unlike Sanskrit, 40 years is like ages in a field like Artificial Intelligence. > . I agree. May be Samskruth-Computer enthusiasts may start a separate thread to discuss this isuse.

 

2.  On < Sphota or kAraka is NOT the cutting edge of AI research.>. You are free to stand by your opinion.  Here is something that may  be of interest in regard to A.I and NLP –Samskrutham, as a logically perfect language:     A logically perfect language has rules of syntax which pre[1]vent nonsense, and has single symbols which always have a definite and unique meaning. Mr Wittgenstein is concerned with the conditions for a logically perfect language—not that any language is logically perfect, or that we believe ourselves capable, here and now, of constructing a logically perfect language, but that the whole function of language is to have meaning, and it only fulfils this function in proportion as it approaches to the ideal language which we postulate.

May be the  links below  help to give the panorama ahead in A.I  related ! and where ‘Panini- Designs’ are being used, albeit some resources shy away not mentioning the ‘ names’ .

 

I do understand the fear, sensitivity, Samskruth-phobia, anglophobia, shyness and  shame of many in taking recourse  to  ‘Samskruth –Source and Terms, document acknowledgement’, especially  in A.I / NLP  related research !

I want to add certain pointers about "language models" used in NLP. Broadly there are two approaches to NLP:  

a) A linguistics-based approach where parts of speech are tagged, morphology is defined,  relation between entities is expected to follow a set pattern (say between verb and noun - the six Karakas) etc. 

b) A statistics-based approach which may or may not correspond to the underlying linguistic entities. Another name, more popular definitely, for this is Machine Learning. In most cases what the Machine learns is not known to us. The end product is that tokens (or whatever  unit we take such as bi-grams, n-grams, phrases or sentences or documents) are represented by a set of numbers (vectors, tensors etc.). The Statistical approach is the anti-thesis of the Linguistic approach. 

This division is not water-tight, but it is fairly representative when it comes to the fundamental structure of models used in each approach. 

In the last decade or so, the Statistical approach has been shown to work ao well that it almost completely displaced the Linguistic approach. For instance all the ten models mentioned in the link (c) above are machine learning models, which have absolutely no relation to Panini, Sanskrit or Linguistics. 

It is not that I don't have respect for Panini (actually I worship him). My concern is that we belittle the great Rishi by attributing credit falsely to him.

Boring to repeat myself. Interested may read https://groups.google.com/g/sanskrit-programmers/c/j8oZrKI32O4/m/BPZ1UdLVAAAJ . I find the level of milage this paper gets shocking - anyone with a modicum of sanskrit knowledge who has cared to read that article would find such errors.

To summarize, there is a lot AI and NLP can do for sanskrit. On the other hand, there's not much sanskrit can offer AI or NLP. 

Best to leave self-aggrandizing vishva-guru illusions.

Thank you Dr. Sivasenani.

This should hopefully put a lid on this urban legend (atleast for a while).

Dr. BVKS --> Kindly Kindly listen to vidvans who have expertise in both computers and Samskrta. It will save you and the rest of us a lot of angst and time which can be better used in japa / homa etc. in these tough times.

Please also consider using traditional names in your writings (instead of made up names like "intention-speech protocol") so that newbies like me can learn the terms and literature you have sourced them from. 
Being unfamiliar with both traditional usage and your modern coining, its akin to a person floundering in sight of the shore being airlifted to deep sea and being dropped in the midst of a school of sharks....without  a parachute.

As a regular reader of ALL your posts, please consider this as an honest feedback from a friend.

They're Close, not Consistent. e.g.,
"Pajeetan Kumar" being a Christu in reality but a Hindu in name & records. Inconsistent.
"Burqa" preaching "Bindi" the nuances of woman liberation. Inconsistent.
"Lemur" speaking (they speak aa?) to the native & the English audiences about the same thing but in different modes. Inconsistent.

If you want shrI Nagaraj Paturi or some other lord to stop the thread, best communicate with him directly - without bothering others here. Live and let live.

I am under no impression that people write to keep me entertained. But the funny thing is, some do entertain. Some, after some time do start to stink, for their lack of focus.

Why do you presume my 'expiry date' remark was due to my lack of knowledge about gmail? Even though we have other contact-spheres from which you may guess my background, you chose a very lame sarcasm about the possibility of my ignorance about gmail! You should have come up with better ones to counter whatever you think you are countering. Is belittling others the only way you know of making a point?

You do have some good points in your arguments, but do tend to lose it in the flow.

When a discussion about how to pronounce visarga starts talking about Lemur and other wildlife -isms, it indeed betrays the lack of focus on the part of the participants, and reminds me of king Julian of 'move-it' fame.

Shri Vishvas, may I add that you are not the only one to have wit, satire, knowledge or freedom of speech :)  Your short tolerance level indeed belittles the vastness of your knowledge.

Why am I not allowed to share my views about the discussion publicly, as publicly as everyone else is doing? And why should I send private messages to the admin? I am not complaining. I am giving hints to the participants that the content is not new or entertaining or adding value to the topic.

PS: I have no intentions to reply to anything point by point, so please don't labor to reply. Sometimes, read just to understand.

All in good intention and spirit! :)

Thanks,
~ Shashi

Look man, let us cut to the point. I presume that you don't go to a conference, observe a group of people talking animatedly about something, listen in and interject for a while and then declare "this is getting stale", "you should move on" etc.. A sane person will just excuse himself and go elsewhere. It is rude to intrude and tell others to stop conducting their conversation in public. Comprende? If you do that, better be prepared to be told your boundaries.

I have no idea who this King Julian is. Your pop culture references are abstruse to me (and it is probably good that it is so).

Aah!
I presumed you would know all about Google and its products, to find about King Julian :) :)

It is entertaining to see you get animated! Like the movie from which I gave the reference.

This is a public forum.
There was a discussion going on.
It went a bit too far, too off-track.
A visarga pronunciation thread has Lemurian reference.
So, maybe you can have the lively conversation in a private email :) :)

By the way, it is entertaining, indeed!


Thanks,

I'm rather proud of Julian bringing the revered Roman Imperator to mind rather than some pop character.

1. If you think that visarga was the only "legitimate" topic discussed here, your reading comprehension is poor. 

2. It is beyond silly to say "oh no - now you're bringing in references to ethology and geology" just because someone says "you're making a mountain of a molehill".

Or maybe you can use the mute feature and stop bothering us.

It is irritating to me. If I were sure of not being censored by the admins I would've made sure that you don't profit (by gaining "entertainment") from offending me.

I am sure, certainly this conversation is going way too digressed .
