Oh, I did not mean that I made up the word when I said I coined the word. What I meant was that I used the already existing word to mean my own idea of talking non-stop - where the talk goes on and on - it continues, the unending continuum.

The greatest disease
The greatest disease is not Aids or cancer, but "what-will-the-others-think" fear. For example, it is our attempts to interrupt or camouflage the normal ageing process that makes our ageing experience an ugly one. Aging is not tantamount to ill heath. Moreover, if we are spiritual, we can remain healthy even in the midst of our ill-heath – ironic but true.
Writing history
Writing history is a tricky affair. There is not just history, but versions and versions of it. I think it is best if Governments or official agencies keep their hands off writing history. In fact, history ought not to be taught at schools or colleges at all. It could be pursued as a personal choise and propogated by individuals who are interested in the subject. For the rest, history should be left to their imaginations.
