Jodhpur is not just a City but It’s full of Emotions

Manuscript of the Jambudvipa-prajnapti-sutra (Description of Jambudvipa), Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Marwar, Mandore, 1513. Cleveland Museum of Art (ID: 25.2014). As examples of the dominant artistic style from the early 1500s, these two Jain manuscript illuminations depict two-dimensional scenes using only three colors plus gold, black, and white. They do not illustrate the content of the text. Instead, they show the figure of an enlightened being at the center of concentric circles—an abstract vision of the transmission of his teachings into all directions. Below, an exalted monk passes on the teachings from an elaborate throne, surrounded by adoring followers and auspicious symbols. The images show that the text derives from those teachings. The horizontal format reflects the use of palm leaves for manuscript pages centuries before. (Cleveland Museum of Art)

On Standards, Variants & Mix-ups

標準、異體以及混亂字

Stumbled upon this picture ↑ and this interesting, albeit, rather old webpage (article's from 2007) recently, where the author touches on the topic of “Standardised” and Variant Characters and some examples of the differences between Hong Kong and Taiwan style 繁體字 (Traditional characters).

“Standardised”, put in quotes because what's considered a Standard may be subject to changes any time.

What caught my eye was the characters for 「茨」、「丸」 and 「遨」 in particular, because while I knew about the other characters and their 異體 (variants) shown here, I never noticed/knew about the slight differences between the “Standard” (標準字體) and Popular (俗寫字體) variants for 「茨」、「丸」 and 「遨」 before, (no) thanks too to the added confusion brought on by font styles sometimes!

I realise in the grand scheme of things, especially as we go farther still into this digital age (and not forgetting about changing Standards every now and then), minor discrepancies in font styles are not going to really matter. But if one feels like being pedantic; wanna be “more correct” and all that…then this is something worth taking note of! (���)

While I'm taking notes, I only realised now too that technically, characters like 「讀」、「續」、「犢」、「竇」 and 「櫝」 should be written with a

「*𧶠」 [🇭🇰🇲🇴 juk⁶; 🀄 ㄩˋ/yǜ]

*n.b.: in case it still can't be seen clearly, the 「罒」 is actually a compressed 「四」.

phonetic component rather than a

「賣」 [🇭🇰🇲🇴 maai⁶; 🀄 ㄇㄞˋ/mài]

This revelation certainly makes it clearer now why 「讀」、「續」、「犢」、「竇」 and 「櫝」 are pronounced with an ‘ㄨ/u; ㄩ/yü’ sound!

So have I been writing 「讀」 (and all other relevant characters) “wrongly” all this while?! (囧) Depending on what “Standards” one goes by I guess, confusing computer font styles notwithstanding! (笑)

I'm sure there's a terrible potato joke about the **eyes** of Mandoral, but I'm going to save that for Dielo to pun later.

Happy International Day of the Potato!

The Poet's Eye is coming!

Okay, writeblr friends, it's real: This is a promo and also a request.

BackerKit's first ever Booktopia starts Sept 5, 2024. My new epic fantasy series will be featured! And for Booktopia, there will be additional rewards for backers, bonus rewards for readers who back more than one book project, and more.

If you like epic fantasy that is

intensely character-driven

full of found family and relationships that aren't just romantic

mature and tackling Big Themes

...but without spice or steamy scenes

ace representation

a bit different from the general market, something a little less mainstream or formulaic, something made for a more niche market

then please check out this new series! You can click here to follow it, or I'll tell you about it below. :)

Meet The Characters!

Galen is a farm boy who sacrificed everything to save his family from a threat that turned out to be fake. Now he's trying to stop a magic-wielding queen from saving the world. (Yes, I said save.)

Lisveth was an infamous sorceress highwaywoman, terrorizing the roads with fire and theft. Now she's an itinerant mercenary with her emotional support village idiot.

Kayvin wasn't a good prince, but he was one, and he's lost that. He knows the throne is gone, but the only way to redeem his hostage mother's life is to retrieve a legendary artifact for the usurper. And you're telling him that some random ginger farm boy has it?!

Dielo is professionally gorgeous and a real people-pleaser. But his master isn't interested, and his true master doesn't need his reports, and what's a courtesan-spy to do when no one wants him?

Yovela has finally found a safe place. It's a terrible job description, but her boss treats her better than anyone else has, and that's enough for now. If anyone threatens that, she'll do all in her power, and if she doesn't have enough, she'll recruit help.

I write intensely character-driven fantasy, and this series has more of the same!

The Pitch

Galen was unhappy in his overcrowded farmhouse even before learning his uncles murdered his father for the spoils of a robbery. Now the only way to keep his family from killing each other—again—is to steal the magical amulet they’re fighting over.

By the time he realizes it’s a fake, it’s too late.

Meanwhile, a royal assassination forces two nations together after generations of enmity. With his mother now hostage in an icy prison, Prince Kayvin must collect legendary artifacts to save the lives of thousands. The entrapped prince can trust no one but a beautiful dancer and a young man trained to be the perfect luxurious companion—and perhaps not both of them.

Unlikely allies must work together to defeat an inhuman sorceress bent on saving thousands of lives.

Surely you mean "ending thousands of lives?"

I said what I said.

If you like deeply realized characters, sweeping adventure, and multilayered storytelling, then you’ll love Laura VanArendonk Baugh’s new epic fantasy.

Booktopia

Books which don't match the mainstream book market (like this one!) can do better in crowdfunding than on a more traditional publishing path. BackerKit's new Booktopia is a cross-promotional event that rewards backers with even more swag when they back more than one project, starting with just one additional book.
