Once in a while I get fixated on a word and try to understand why or how that word came to be. Dogma is one such. I mean coming from India its hilarious to see the possibility of this one.
Dogma could translate to mother of Dog.
Then there was a character in the famous Asterix cartoons called Dogmatix.
Dogma can dog someone like me no end.
If they clone a dog with a sheep maybe they will get a Dogma.
Also tends to sound like a special form of Mediterranean food that comes on a stick.
Or something wrapped in a grape leaf.
Although defined as a belief held by religious principle this Dog just goes Ma - doggone it.
On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...
Also sounds like the King of Bhutan..one had a name similar to this.
