Tadimalla, Rajani Nagesh. (2021). World of my dreams: Poetry and prose, First edition.

यह समय क्षणिक है,
यह अब आया और यह अब चला गया,
कल आज भविष्य है और परसों वह अतीत बन जाएगा,
हम इंसान तो महज मुसाफ़िर हैँ,
हमें तो चलते रहना है,
पर यह कुदरत भी अजीब है,
वह दिन की शुरुआत करती है भोर से,
और कहती है इंसान से,
उम्मीद पे यह दुनिया कायम है।
— Tadimalla, Rajani Nagesh. भोर

A planet of beings,
and within every being
a planet of hope.
— Tadimalla, Rajani Nagesh. Heist in the Forest and the Resurgence (Nature/Forest Fiction)

The aforementioned is an example of Haiku poetry as well, which consists of three lines and follows the 5-7-5 rule. Five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.

The importance of human sciences in Economics cannot be understated. _{(We are talking about human sciences, not about any specific policy. There are various disciplines in human sciences. There are many micro and macro factors in economics. There are many branches of economics with theories by various scholars over various centuries, they are reviewed, and new theories evolve with time. This is a precursor to Economics: A Futuristic approach.)}
ఆర్థిక శాస్త్రంలో మానవ శాస్త్రాల యొక్క ప్రాముఖ్యతను విస్మరించలేము.

కొందరు రైలు ప్రయాణాన్ని ప్రారంభించారు, ప్రయాణం ఒక ఆవిష్కరణకు దారితీసింది, ఈ ఆవిష్కరణ ప్రయాణాన్ని ఆసక్తికరంగా మార్చింది, వారు గమ్యంకి చేరుకున్నారు. వారి జీవితాలను మార్చే గమ్యం.
Some embark on a train journey, which leads to a discovery. A discovery that makes the journey interesting. Then they reach the destination. A destination that is going to change their lives.
తాడిమళ్ళ, రజని నగేష్. రైల్వే జంక్షన్: ప్రయాణం మరియు గమ్యం

Tadimalla, Rajani Nagesh. Railway Junction: The Journey and the Destination [A blend of travel and futuristic fiction)

‘For most, life is an everyday experience. For the rest, life is just marketing.’

‘Life is a journey. Humans have the privilege of feeling the journey and recognising its importance. A profession has its place, and humanity has its place, and one need not look at everything from the same prism. Humanity doesn’t imply condoning or accepting all forms of crimes.’

‘Writing is in itself a journey. There is always a discovery waiting to be revealed—first to the author and later to the world.’

‘Writing involves leadership in the sense that an author can comprehend various developments, inhale various perspectives, and exhale a vision.’

‘An interdisciplinary approach is the way forward for a better world.’

‘A fundamental aspect of doing good is not to expect anything in return. That’s the way to inner happiness and peace. However, doing good doesn’t mean people should allow others to walk over them. One should be just to oneself as well.’

‘Live life with a purpose. Nothing to prove to anyone.’

Publishing is not just about books. It is one important aspect, which I have been part of and keen to take it forward. There are many things including magazines, journals, newspapers. It’s a long journey ahead. Promoting literature, languages, sciences, social sciences, and interdisciplinary fields is a cause as well.

Site Ticker: Health, Environment, Travel Safety, General Helpline Numbers , and Miscellaneous

Health: Lives are precious. Beware of Bird fancier’s lung, an interstitial lung disease. All rashes may not be Shingles yet seek expert opinion if symptoms or signs persist. Timely vaccination can protect precious little lives from vaccine-preventable diseases—Save a child, save a life, and save a dream. Refer government and regulatory advisories, directives, or guidelines. Keep first-aid kit at home and workplace for use in emergencies. Cover water containers to prevent dengue. Avoid fire accidents during festive season. Do not apply iced or cold water on burns and use only cool running water as a first aid. In case a person is bed-ridden for a long time, use air bag to prevent bed sores whether at home or at health care centre. Prefer using prescribed medicines by the health expert and be aware of anti-microbial resistance. Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and Unani are well-known alternative medicine systems in India.

Note (18th February 2025): Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare yet serious syndrome. This syndrome has been in the news in recent times after a significant hike in cases and some casualties in Pune, Maharashtra in January 2025. Thereafter, there have been reports of this syndrome in other states, and more recently, in Andhra Pradesh. Follow advisories and consult your health experts in case of symptoms. (6th January 2025): There are some reports regarding Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a respiratory virus. This is a known virus. In the news due to high number of cases in China. A few cases (eight as on 7th January) have been reported in India as of now. These are still early days and it may not necessarily convert into a pandemic. Meanwhile, follow all health advisories and guidelines. Don’t panic yet stay alert. Updates, if needed.

Ecological and biodiversity conservation is important. Environment: Save the green cover and conserve forests. Save hills before they are referred in stories as once upon a time. Conserve energy by turning-off lights when not required (don’t turn-off lights in emergency situations, when dealing with any calamity except where it is required to turn-off power, when some work is going on, when there are safety concerns for people, or when someone is sick and there is a need for adequate lighting). Avoid dumping disposables on railway tracks, open lands, river and sea shores to prevent landfills and to ensure a clean environment.

Travel is a way of life. Yet always remember that your loved ones wait for you. Lives are precious. Travel Safety — Road safety: Try to start early for work if the workplace is faraway rather than overspeeding or boarding overcrowded transport services during rush hour. Even if you follow all rules someone else may be in a hurry, therefore be aware of the surroundings and stay traffic conscious. If possible, try to help the elderly if you find that they are unable to cross the road due to heavy traffic. If possible, offer your seat to the elderly or those in need in buses and metro trains and you will be surprised that some of them may try to find a seat for you. If you are on a long-distance trip in your own vehicle, take small breaks to ensure concentration. If you have hired a service, ensure that the chauffeur is fine and check whether the person requires a break. Watch out for construction activities and diversions. Bus Safety: In case you are using bus services, ensure that boarding and dropping points sync with your travel requirements. If you travel regularly, your experience is the guide else check for reviews. Some buses may have stoppages or dropping points near outskirts of the city, service roads, or junctions for intermediate cities or towns—in such cases, ensure that the location is safe with adequate transport facilities and that your family is well-informed of your travel plans. Rail Safety: Avoid last minute arrival at stations and boarding moving trains. Confirm the arrival platform of the boarding train from the Display Board on the First platform/Terminal/Enquiry and Coach position. Sometimes up and down timings of a train may coincide, hence ensure you are boarding the train towards the intended destination. Ensure availability of required IDs. For senior citizens, book lower berth tickets whenever available. Boat/Cruise Safety: Ensure that boats are not overcrowded. Ensure that you wear life jacket wherever required. Check for tides and water level. Don’t panic and cooperate with the staff and fellow travellers in case of any emergency. Be alert while boarding and alighting. Air Safety: Avoid last minute arrival at Airports. Ensure you are at the assigned Gate number and avail wheel chair facility wherever available for senior citizens. Keep note of boarding announcements or related information. Be cordial with fellow passengers, security personnel, and crew (in case of any serious issue or lapse, one can provide the feedback to the airlines). Follow the safety guidelines once onboard.

పదాలు మరియు నిర్వచనాలు शब्द और परिभाषाएं Terms/Words and Definitions

Definitions now have an exclusive ‘Definitions Junction’ page. Definitions are copyrighted to the author. Copyright info on the website footer.

Scientific terms of the fortnight and words of the fortnight are primarily knowledge based and importance whereas the word of the year is based on events and important developments (do not imply social media trends and political slugfest) in that particular year. Therefore while it is not ruled out, these terms may not necessarily be part of the shortlist for the word of the year. We are fortunate to have so many languages. From the fortnight of 30th January, we will have more than one term and word to ensure inclusion of more topics and different language families respectively. The definition will be available in two more languages other than Telugu, Hindi, and English—one each from different language families. This can help those keen to understand different terms and words with their meanings in various languages. Therefore, a language may appear more than once. Please note that definitions are copyrighted to the author. Copyright info in the website footer. Scientific terms and words will be continuous. The Heading ‘Archives’ has been done away w.e.f the last fortnight of February 2025 to prevent fragmentation. All terms are important. Habitat Corridors are going to be highly significant in the future. We need to provide safe passages to various species. Understand that lives are precious irrespective of species involved. Coming to linguistics and languages, words from other languages will find a place here once I add the description under the respective language headings in the literary junction. This is an ‘out-of-the-way effort’ in line with the motto. As on 10th March, Definitions now have an exclusive page (accessible from 12th March onwards). A snapshot of terms and words is available here. Further notes, if needed, on the exclusive page.

Word of the Year 2025 (Multilingual)

Shortlist from the first half

Word of the year is based on events and important developments (do not imply social media trends and political slugfest) in that particular year. While only one or two terms or words can be selected as the term or word of the year from a language, some events, words, and terms that gain importance during the year due to various developments are worth mentioning. Hence, with a comprehensive approach, the attempt is to cover relevant terms and words in the shortlist. Some will find a place as and when considered fit and those that have missed attention or are significant will be added later in July. A similar process is likely for the second half. This will not be limited to one language because different events or words in various domains may trend or assume significance in different languages. Word of the year 2023 was in fifty languages yet for the same term. The endeavour, this year, will be to get different terms from different languages to the extent possible. Language equity is my word of the year in terms of the effort. Only terms and words will be available in the shortlist section (with relevant topic or place in brackets wherever applicable). Description will be available later for the terms and words of the year. It’s not just about existing terms or words, new terms or words may find a place as well. It is a standard practice by various Dictionaries to announce the word(s) of the year from November onwards. As usual, I will share word(s)/terms(s) of the year during the first week of January. As of March 31st, there is no reason to have this section here. I can simply announce the word(s) at the end of the year like every year. This section makes the process transparent. We will continue this section from July/September onwards.

समर्पण (Surrender) मुठभेड़ (Encounter) Some surrenders as well as encounters between security forces and Naxalites in South Chhattisgarh near the Telangana and Maharashtra border in recent times.

Another view is that those involved no longer stand for any cause, and violence is not a solution to any problem. There is increased frequency in recent times, with the Home Ministry setting a March 31st, 2026 deadline and call to surrender. This is a serious issue.
