Hokum

It's very easy to talk or write any hokum. That's what I do everyday here in my blog. There is a boy who has harelip. I often see him. Or more correctly, I used to see him a few years ago. Today I don't even know if he is alive. However, I'm deviating from my hokum or bunkum whatever you want to call it. There is this word neurasthenia. My mother often feel neurasthenia, like she is weak and exhausted all the time. Most of the words today are medical lexicon. There are some people who suffer from hypochondriasis. I know one such character from Hard Times, that is Mrs Gradgrind. She is a hypochondriac, always whining about her illnesses. Now in real life I knew one such person, but she has died a couple of years ago. So better not recapitulate that memory. However, in effect let me share here as my ulterior chitchat: I don't mourn about her going because she was a real trouble. Sclera is another word that I have come across today. I saw a person whose sclera was a little grayish or yellowish. Only palpable reason behind this would be he was drunk at that time. But the funny thing is he came to worship the God at our house. The distal point of his nose was a bit torn. Now don't think this later is true.
