Thinking about thinking - notes

In one of my previous posts I wrote:

Once I moved to professional life, my usage of English went up. And nowadays I think only in English and it's not just technical information. I find it interesting to observe that where the common lingo would have been Kannada when conversing face-to-face, the imaginary talks are conducted in English.

 I was reading a NewYorker article by a Bosnian born English writer. There he writes:

Back in my early years in the U.S., at the time when my English was in transition from tourist to survival mode, I’d catch myself dreaming in English, and noticing, in my dream, that the people who shouldn’t be talking in English were doing so. Even more bizarrely, I would recollect English conversations with my family or friends, which would certainly have taken place in our native language. I interpreted those dreams and memories as my subconscious mind welcoming this non-native language. If I hadn’t absorbed the new language in that way, I wouldn’t have been able to write any of the books I’ve written in English, or to have lived a full life in this language.

It looks like our transitions are similar. But I'd be deceiving myself, if I think, our mastery over English is similar. 

Yoga without Mind Control

[After one of the rape cases involving a godman in India]
"You know what, all these Babas do Yoga, so their sex drive is very high. Hence most of them indulge in such sexual activities."
"Aren't these basically rape?"
"Not really. It's generally consensual sex. But things go wrong when these women are not properly compensated."
"Well, that's not what I read. Nevertheless, as a baba you shouldn't indulge in these activities. No?"
"Well, they do Yoga and because of that they can't control."
"But isn't Yoga all about control. Mind control, body control, emotion control, breathing control etc..."
"Yes, true, but they get too many opportunities."
"But that's the definition of control. You control your senses in the face of temptations."
"Ha, ha...when you have opportunities..."
"That really shows, Yoga is good for improving  your libido but not so much for mind control."
"ah..."
"I think it makes sense. If you read the history of Yoga, it was considered heretic in olden day India. But today a smoke screen of spiritualism and mind control was created to hide its true motivation."
"hmmm..."
"No wonder it became popular with publicly sex doing White people."
" "
"I  think evolutionarily Yoga makes sense as it improves your sex drive. However, there should be a caution that people who don't have mind control shouldn't practice it. Especially, the babas."

Clothes Make the Woman - ii

In my previous post, I opined that feminine clothes are sexist and masculine clothes are gender neutral. It appears the gender neutral trend in clothing agrees with that assessment.
