 M: Writing itself has ages, and you look back at earlier pages and hear a young voice.
-The Darwinian drawing is an image imprinted in the minds of our times. The idea of progress, that as the ferris wheel of age goes up, you progress, over spring into the fullness of summer and the wet rains and somewhere, hidden in the turn when the wheel tries to turn again, old age, whenever that might be.
+The Darwinian drawing is a straight line, of progress. The older systems of circles, cycles, were they not richer for the circular [[circus tent]] of life?  that as the ferris wheel of age goes up, you progress, over spring into the fullness of summer and the wet rains and somewhere, hidden in the turn when the wheel tries to turn again, old age, whenever that might be.
 If it is a fractal of wheels within wheels, we age all the time, and make so many saawans and shraavans.
 So to a eight year old, the faculties of the child of two are lost..and to the two year old? persists the stain of a loss, the beginnings of memory.
-We meet an Urvashi here, the one who controls [[the heart]]. A fine funny young fellow, who would not comply with such subject positions being cast on her. Avid science student, going to college now, with glasses, wants to be work with computers, not sure quite how she wants to do it.

-I tried to play with her my name game- Ur- vashi. She smiled in a simple open way- a little shyly, accepting the wish of her parents for their child.
+I tried to play with her my name game- Ur- vashi. She smiled in a simple open way- a little shyly, accepting the wish of her parents for their child. The eyes of the very young, like fresh leaves, are a gift outside of anyone they are ('You poet of the bourgeois! N would exclaim.)
 I told her the [[Puranic story]]. This time she laughed a little nervously. " When Phalke was an old man", I told her, because she lived in the city named after him "when he was older and poor, and not confident of his film making faculties, he was invited by the Raja of Kolhapur, to make a film there. The old craftsman went to the palace of the king and walked through corridors of grand marvels. There was Urvashi, from the Ravi Varma painting, but mechanised, leaving the arms of Purvuras, and returning again and flying away again and returning again."

 There are ages to live through and parenthood is merely one piece of our parents.. parenthood is not their only sky, as we,  their children imagine it to be: maybe we cannot look otherwise, except with some bitterness. Similarly there are parents, like Dhundiraj, who too often forget that that is what children necessarily think.. that parents will be the sky to them.
