This is Ok.

but I don't appreciate serving liquor during our monthly meeting.
Ok, after the meeting we can go to some other place and have it.
That too a pint is not sufficient, minimum a full bottle ie
essential. You please go the the notice given by Mr. Rajan George,
for the monthly meeting. He has said the 'PINT' will be
discussed.

Thanks.

Antony.

Thanks.
Antony Joseph.

Antony,

                 I agree there is a spelling mistake. please read pint as point.But meaning of pint is not liquor, but it is a measurement olden days,meaning one-eighth of a gagallon. Please keep away liquor at least while you deal with BBC.

There is a war of wits being waged through these columns between Rajan George and Antony Joseph which apparently started from a notice purported to have been sent by the former, which has somehow eluded this scribe. I believe the meeting is scheduled as per our convention only, viz. 4.30 pm 0n second saturday.

Regarding the advertisement, on whose release we are to deliberate upon, I have a suggestion that the content shall include "Engineering" also.

Coming to the semantic warfare I have to suggest the following:

The vision released by an object (in this case the meaning released by a word) is conditioned by the what the mind of the viewer is on the look-out for.No doubt, Antony Joseph is justified in reading the mis-spelt "point" as "pint". Further his appreciation for Rajan George as a good demogouge did not permit him to believe he could ever go wrong. (Where it is convenient to take things otherwise arguments in justification for that also is possible.)

But apparently Rajan George also is not basically against the idea of the "pin" thing. Only thing is that we shall keep it away liquor at
while we deal with BBC. Otherwise it is OK. So what shall be our policy?

BBC and drinks are the needs of BBC members. But they are not to be mixed up. Just because we are doing BBC business it does not mean that we should do away with drinks. Similarly just because we are taking drinks it does not mean that we should do away with BBC business. Both BBC and drinks should go hand-in-hand, without contradiction, each supporting the other. For BBC members, drinks is permissible, to the extent that it does not hamper the business prospects of BBC. Similarly BBC business is permissible to the extent that it does not hamper drinks. Drinks, if it promotes BBC, is acceptible. Similarly BBC, if it promotes drink, is acceptible. This is how we should harmonise the two. Viewed in this larger perspective the contradiction between the two will reveal itself to be apparent and not real. It does exist, at a partisan consciousness, that will vanish upon the dawn of the larger one. The two are distinctly different, but integrally related in a wider context of mem
bers that hold within them both BBC and the thirst for drinks. It is such a reconcilliation and harmonisation between the two, without conflict, that will be the ideal relation.

Yes, dear friends, if it is a spelling mistake, forget it. And
that is why I didn't comment on his usage of 'gagallon'.

Regarding Devarajan Sir's lengthy comment, upto this time I have
been referring a powerful dictionary to find out the meaning of
each word, and those powerful sentences itself made me drunk.
After the second reading, I realised, that text contains not only
'drink', but plenty of 'Palpayasam' also. Anyway through this
PALPAYASAM let me wish you all a 'Wonderful Onam', and immediately
after the Onam we shall have a meaningful and serious business
meating.

Antony Joseph.

Thanks.
Antony Joseph.

Normally we all take business meetings. But Antony Joseph has preferred to have the business meat-ing immediately after Onam, Onam being supposed to be vegetarian feast. Even in the cow's teats where there is sweet milk the mosquito's search is for blood.

And coming to the "spelling mistake" in the word "gagallon", as identified by Antony Joseph, I don't think Rajan George has committed a mistake. He has meant it. When the person is Rajan George and the subject discussed is drinks, it will not be pint or gallon or megagallon, but gegagallon. In his modesty he has cut one "ge" from it. Usages, only when viewed in the appropriate context, will give the right meaning. A person who is unable to view things this way will substitute his meaning as the right one, will hold a word appropriate to it as the right word, and hold the right usage as "spelling mistake".
