Lesson on 'have', 'has' and 'had'

Possesion
Hindi: Kisi cheez ka hona
Punjabi: Eh cheez mere kol haigi

Here are some points to remember when using 'have' and 'has'.
Let's start with the basics.

They can both be used to show possession and are important in making the 'perfect tenses'.
'Had' is the past tense of both 'has' and 'have'.

have
Have is used with some pronouns and plural nouns:

'I have a great English teacher.'
'You have toothpaste on your chin.'
'We have a meeting at 12.'
'Nurses have a difficult job.'

has

Has is used with the third person singular. For example:

'She has a great personality.'
'He has a new haircut.'
'The washing machine has a leak in it'
'It has a hole near the door.'

contractions
I have = I've 
you have = you've 
we have = we've 
they have = They've
he has = he's 
it has = it's

negative contractions
has not = hasn't 
have not = haven't
had not = hadn't

'have' and 'has' in questions

'Have you been to Australia?'
'Has Andrew left yet?'
'Who has my pen?' 
'Has anyone seen my mobile phone?'

'have got' and 'have'
Both 'have got' and 'have' mean the same thing. There is no difference.

'I have got an i-phone.' = 'I have an i-phone'. 
'You have got a message.' = You have a message.' 
'She has got no time to sleep.' ='She has no time to sleep.'

'have' and 'has' verb tenses
'have/has' is an important verb in making the 'perfect tense':

Present Perfect 
'She has lived here for a long time.'
'We have seen this TV show before.' 
'I have cut my finger.'

Past Perfect 
'I had already decided not to go before he asked me.' 
'They had finished the race before it started raining.'
'She had already left when he arrived'

modal verbs: 'have to'
'have to' is used to mean that something is necessary. It is used in the following way in affirmative sentences:
subject + modal (have to / has to) + verb

'I have to wash my car today.'
'He has to write a report.'
'I had to go to the bank yesterday.'

'have to' in negative sentences
In negatives to show that something is not necessary we follow this rule:
subject + doesn't have to + verb

'We don't have to work tomorrow.'
'She doesn't have to wear a uniform to school'
'I didn't have to make my bed when I was young'

It was subliminally slow day. Uncle came back today. I have yet seen him. Babaji had come to call but I wasn’t interested either. I was sleeping in the morning until late 1030 or so and I had breakfast in hurry without brushing my teeth. I didn’t bath for the fourth day. I still have upset nose. I want to be fine like normal people. I have not yet been able to start math, I am starting to worry.
I was sleeping again in the afternoon and after waking up around 1830 I was on phone doing the SMSs to Gurarchi again. I deleted her after a short talk in which I told her of the Fuck-Truck idea derived from the movie Social Network. She was reluctant to the idea earlier but then she was asking me the time for the movie and my phone was off so she sent a forward message to say goodnight.
It felt bad when I had denied coming out in the drawing room to see Rekha buaji live on the laptop. 
God bless me

It was a nice day. Three original American Pies all in one day, that is awesome. Not to mention I was feeling of taking up the books at the end of each one. I learnt something ‘sex is not an important thing’. 
I was fine when I woke up in the morning. Amma had come to check me up last night around 0230, that was pretty, what should I say, damn it. I was sweating around the dawn and was sitting in the fan on number three in the morning. It is absolutely fine now, though the thermometer didn’t say so. It was around 99 in the afternoon.
I did a little a bit of Java programming to not get away from studies though the refreshment plans every weekend feels like a pretty good idea, I mean it is the second time that I am living it off on Saturday, don’t have a Saturday this cool in my memory. 
I was thinking of giving a call to Sonam to tell the teachers about my health but then it felt like I should not be stretching it with Sonam anymore. I was thinking about Sakshi lately, I couldn’t have written using erotic words because then it makes me lousier about her. She is damn sexy; heaven knows that, this is what I had told her while trying not being taking a chance on her and still taking a good chance, last October. She is back here for a while now.
God bless me

Pari CR 12.5 Tablet

Pari CR 12.5 Tablet

Prescription: Required
Manufacturer: Ipca Laboratories Ltd
SALT COMPOSITION: Paroxetine (12.5mg)
Storage: Store below 30°C

CR: Controlled Release

Paroxetine, sold under the brand names Paxil and Seroxat among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is used to treat major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It has also been used in the treatment of premature ejaculation and hot flashes due to menopause. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, sweating, trouble sleeping, and sexual dysfunction. Serious side effects may include suicidal thoughts in those under the age of 25, serotonin syndrome, and mania. While the rate of side effects appears similar compared to other SSRIs and SNRIs, antidepressant discontinuation syndromes may occur more often. Use in pregnancy is not recommended, while use during breastfeeding is relatively safe. It is believed to work by blocking the re-uptake of the chemical serotonin by neurons in the brain.

Paroxetine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1992 and initially sold by GlaxoSmithKline. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is available as a generic medication. In 2019, it was the 78th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 9 million prescriptions. In 2018, it was in the top 10 of most prescribed antidepressants in the United States. In 2012, the United States Department of Justice fined GlaxoSmithKline $3 billion for withholding data, unlawfully promoting use in those under 18, and preparing an article that misleadingly reported the effects of paroxetine in adolescents with depression following its clinical trial study 329.



IUPAC name
(3S,4R)-3-[(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yloxy)methyl]-4-(4-fluorophenyl)piperidine

Introduction

Pari CR 12.5 Tablet is a type of antidepressant belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) group of medicines. It is widely prescribed to treat depression and anxiety-related conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder.

Pari CR 12.5 Tablet helps many people to recover from depression by improving their mood and relieving anxiety and tension. It can be taken with or without food. The dose and how often you need it will be decided by your doctor so that you get the right amount to control your symptoms.

Let your doctor know straight away if you develop any sudden worsening of mood or any thoughts about harming yourself.

Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have epilepsy (seizure disorder or fits), diabetes, liver or kidney disease, heart problems, or glaucoma. These may affect your treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it.

A Toast About a Toast (2021-Dec-23)

Index of Journals

I was a guest at the ToastMasters Club meeting yet again. This time I also brought a friend, yes, you are right. Sakshi Dahiya. And here I am, making the same mistake again that I made at the meeting. That mistake is digressing.

The reason that I digressed during my Table Topics speech is that I thought I had fully understood the topic, but I did not process it to put a story around it. I did not take my 10 seconds of time to build the speech in my head.

When I started, I thought I had it in control and I was fluent and smooth but after only a couple of seconds (maybe 30), I had to ask the Table Topics master about the topic again. (And I have always thought that I am a great speaker. Am not. ToastMasters Club reminded me of that again.)

The table topic was: What's my perspective of ToastMasters and What benefits do I see of Toastmasters?

That is what I remember of the topic from the second time that I heard it.

While writing about it now, I barely think of it as a topic and think that it is more of a two-part question. A rather simple 'topic' if it is one.

I was very confident at first and then mayhem happened. I was in the middle of my speech, which had roughty taken 30 seconds and then I apologized for digressing and asked the Table Topics Master for my topic again.

Next when I started again I stayed stuck to the topics as I needed no introduction and the topic was more of a question.

In the speech, I said that it has become more of a cliche if you say "ToastMasters improves your communication skills" and then went on to mention that ToastMasters helps you build social network and in networking, which was why I was there.

A mistake I remember was calling ToastMasters members by their first names without prefixing with the words "toast master" as in "Toastmaster Samitha".

I hope I would learn something from this yet another "Guest" mode tint with ToastMasters club and the meeting ended with Toastmasters giving awards such as "Most Daring Guest" (a new thing I was seeing this time) to few guest members and then closing the meeting a pitch for membership to the guests.

July 1, 2011

The day was an in-and-out. I had college but I was not in a position to go anywhere.
It was 0330 when I went to bed. I turned the fan off before getting to sleep. The SOB is a difficult thing to handle. I was freezing in June (July actually) in such a normal environment. I went to bed a double-bed sheet on me other than the blanket that I have. I was awake early around 0630 and I then slept in amma’s room. I was awake again when they returned from temple around 0830 and everybody learned of me down with fever. 
I was sleeping in Anu’s room until 1130 after this. I had 102 degree Celsius body temperature. Around 0830, I had vomited the milk which amma out of madness of her home remedies made me drink with three tablets of unusual sizes. I hadn’t eaten anything yet. I didn’t want to eat anything now either. I had juice this time. I was tired of being in bed for so long and wanted to sit for a while. Chachi had come to the room when I was sleeping and she was being funny in the situation. She had touched a freezing thing on my arm and then felt the heat by her hand, silly as always. She was offering me to eat what she had made for breakfast but nothing was meant to eaten in fever. I was thinking what the hell is wrong with her.
I was sleeping in my room and amma came to give me medicine around 1400. Crocine gives you an almost instantaneous feeling of improvement, or is it actually like that? I was awake by the sound of the TV around 0300 when I had heard Kanye West singing Heartless on VH1 outside. I went there to listen to the song. I was not well yet. I had just bettered a little bit though. I watched TV for a while and then I had shikanji and tea from chachi. I was doing programming for two hours in the dusk. I had tomato soup around 1930 made by amma, it had too much of black pepper in it, it gave a burning sensation in throat with every sip but I still drank it because it was going to help anyway.
I was sleeping again around 2030 and I had milk and a bread slice in half sleep.
God bless me

I am not well. I had cold since morning and then today I was made to attend the lab. She called my name right in the morning and was sending me to Prashant sir. I skidded to Shaqeel sir sitting on the first bench and he just let me sit for one last time today and the others as well. I told them that I was suffering from headache. Rakhi spoke to me the first time; it was to clear a doubt. I had cold and I could feel it in my voice. I still spoke to clear her doubt but she had to call the teacher finally, I wasn’t wrong I figured out, though I was confused, which is my usual characteristic. The chapter of Nidhi is over and Sakshi is I don’t know yet. Eye contacts from her side are a direct call for a conversation but I don’t know how to approach.
The chapter of Vibha is over. I had to purchase bread pakoda from canteen to put myself in the spending-mode so that I can attract people, you know who. 
I attended the lab and I realized that I was making the silliest mistakes that I a novice to programming would make. It was giving me tension and due to cold I was finding myself very slow. I attended the lab and was thinking about the shit I was doing in the lab, god. Ma’am had to sit and correct them all.
I came back home in the rain, it rained when I was on foot while on my way from college to metro station. I shouldn’t have been wet but I didn’t bother. I became sicker by the time I got back home and I simply popped a pill and went to bed. I woke and did two Java programs in two hours. It felt good and it is feeling worse due to cold. I need some rest.
It is 0247 midnight and I am awake and programming, special thanks to the asshole Prxnt. He turned on cooler and fan on the highest. I had to get up and change direction to not become sicker. I will not go to college tomorrow. I need to get some rest, so I will keep it off.
God bless me

Nidhi was a dead end. She has, just like how it should be and like any other girl, interest in rich and big boys. I was sitting on her left and she would look here at me if I would be looking in my right. She has to confirm that she is not being watched, pretty much an abnormal mental state. She would look away with attitude on realizing that Ashish Jain is not a dog and she was the attention of nobody. I had reached class at ten and I was buttoning two buttons left in mid away from toilet to class. Prashant sir, Kuldeep sir, and the third sir were at a distance of about 100 meters and Prashant sir was not even looking here. I slid through the closed door and went to sit on the last bench with the lady teacher. After a minute Kuldeep sir and Prashant sir entered the room to call me out. While Prashant sir was telling me for coming there passed a late comer of other course and another late comer came to our class. He made us write an application and then left. Sir didn’t act tough, that was a big relief. The other day I had wished him good morning and he cried ‘you are late, by five minutes’. That was mind boggling.
I was last night added to CS1E in the name of Mukul Chandra. Dinesh told me of this today in the morning, but still Arun and Dinesh seems to be demanding privacy in the lunch time. I came back home early, the weather was good and though I wanted to stay but I didn’t. I for the first time after a long time spoke to Sonam on her face and that was right before Vibha. Sonam, Vibha and Srishti were sitting behind me. I had asked a doubt, so much expected.
Ma’am was asking about my null attendance in the lab. Sonam was looking pretty in pink t-shirt. 
Present above are the comments under the post Dhan Raj had put on the evening of June 5. It feels amazing how can piss and these people’s faces and still come back again to piss over. Relations with Arun came out to be fruitful; Dinesh and Arun actually want me to put a photo of ‘basmati rice’ in the group so that they can tease Manoj in the name of Akash.
God bless me

It was not a nice day at college. I wanted to talk to Rakhi and Sakshi to ask if I interested them enough to form a group with me for the project that we will do from seventeen of next month. I couldn’t reach them as they were with their friends, the most arrogant women of NIEC. I talked to Nidhi instead about this. She is very nice to sound and it was easy to listen to a ‘yes’ from her temporarily, god only knows how he flips my world upside down otherwise. 
Dinesh and Arun were ignoring me, which was creepy. Neha was ignoring me on my face, she would be with Tanvi and it is feels disgusting after having talked to Tanvi. Ravi too has stated ignoring me, goodness of god. 
I was home early after having missed the lab. I got the SDK installer so it wasn’t reasonable to stay there at college. At home both buaji were present. Ankur gets upset when you call him LAALE. He didn’t talk to me once I used the word. Badi buaji brought the calculator after changing. It felt good to have it. I made fake profile of Mukul Chandra and told Dinesh to add me to the group but he told me to say it to Arun. God, whole CS1E is creepy. 
Sonam is still talking to me; she doesn’t seem to have a problem. It is my only moral support towards shit that’s happening at college.
God bless me

It was a nice day, hope it would be same forever. The news that I had texted Neha reached Tanvi and she told me not to do that again. I didn’t realize that she was actually talking to me about that. I didn’t cross question and accepted what she demanded. When I turned Neha was there at a quick distance, now picking her bag up. I had a nice day, why was I going to bother about her. 
It was after ages that I was talking to Chirag Dang. He was sitting on my right in the lab, and Hemanshu on the left. They were discussing my act of sending non vegan jokes to girls. It has been ages since that happened, six months. In the break I had lunch with Arun and Dinesh. We discussed the evening of fifth June. I told them that I had just posted that thing to refresh my mood up; Dinesh said it has kept my mood still refreshed. 
Nidhi is oh-so-cute. She does have a boyfriend but she is open to next good guy. When Hemanshu saw her glancing me he pushed me to at least go and say hi. It was after the lab and I just had to come back home early. 
In the morning, I had asked Rakhi for water and she passed that happily. I didn’t know that she was taking the bottle in her mouth to drink. From our seat Arun and I noticed it later and it was a thing of joke on me.
In the lab when you call that lady teacher she would come and put hand on one of your shoulder, sometimes on both when it is a doubt worth paying good time. I had to call her over to my seat again and over again. I made it sure that I don’t overdo it and let her play instead of me trying to climb over. I had been to the library that lady librarian, the forty-naughty-junior was there, she tried to mess it up again. She would talk with other underpaid library keepers and would act like you are the pervert there trying to get a signal to leave after getting your library card.
Vibha was wearing the royal blue color top today. She liked me in that color. Was that to impress me? In the break during theory class I was in canteen and along with the group of Vibha there was group of Aditya except Ravi. I was with Dinesh and group on the entrance and then I was called by Aditya. I went over to them and there were handshakes and hugs. Aditya and Varun are cool guys, Raghav was also present. They appreciated my work on Facebook until now and were asking about what is to come next. They motivated me to continue creating turbulence in CS1E group on Facebook. Still they had to think twice when Raghav told Aditya to add me to the group. It felt good to hear from these guys. 
At the time when I was walking down the street while returning from college I overtook Vibha’s group including Neha. I was trying to catch Ishan and Disha moving ahead of them. Soon as I crossed these people there was a cry that ‘someone hasn’t found a girlfriend yet’, it was Srishti’s voice. I didn’t look back as I had already called Ishan to look back at me at a distance of footsteps now.

I was awake early in the morning but couldn’t sit up to study. It was the third day that I did not bother to open the Math book. 
I was napping in the noon. I heard from babaji for this, he is always saying something or the other whenever I am there, though he has been keeping his tone polite. 
I sent non vegan SMS’ to a number of friends of mine, including girls. I had to use my free SMS scheme, there are still 120 left. I was doing that for over two hours and then I was thinking of people I would be texting on the last day and the messages I would be texting. I wanted to study but could not get my mind of unnecessary tensions, lie how to use the left over messages. I had texted Gurarchi as well, Hindi texts this time. She never replied. In the following hours I cleaned my contact list deleting almost every contact, there were close to hundred contacts and there are 45. I have saved those contacts in laptop. I cleaned my inbox, deleting all messages from everyone. Now my phone is clean, my outbox, drafts, and saved. It is feeling much better now, I have decided not to text Sonam for today at least. Of all the recipients, only Sati replied around 1930, a non vegan joke which I immediately deleted.
I was tense whole day about getting a reply from anyone. I had texted Shukla, Akash and Dhanraj a message that of provoking in a way seeing the differences between me and them. I was wondering of receiving a threatening SMS daring me to get to college tomorrow lie how it had happened on the fifth of June. 
God bless me

I watched Social Network again. It was a good experience. There were still things to learn. These people returned last night and Prashant was in full mood to be a troublemaker. He sat idly in the tube light with me finding it hard to catch sleep. I can’t lie in one position for more than an hour. Later he went out to sleep in air conditioner. I was also troubled by the shoulder pain, the muscles were still contracted, and also my stomach was upset. 
I woke up in the morning around 0845 and texted Sonam a sentimental message comparing sweet natured people with the best and sweetest chocolate with expiry date. An insatant reply came to ask why I don’t attend to lab sessions. It was funny though I loved to hear from her, it was the first time that she had started a conversation. It last for about four to five texts from each of us. I will be attending lab on Monday.
I wasn’t able to sit myself to study and I resorted to continue resting until forever. I was sleeping in the afternoon and then I had lunch at around 1430. I sat for two hours from three to five and did those three examples left from the topic I had been doing since ages. I went to recharge my phone balance and then I was resting again. It is 2156 now that I might take up books until I go to bed.
God bless me
