UKT 191205: The nucleus of family, shown in the black and white photograph, is beginning to faint. I , the father, is now 85. Mother is gone for 15 years. Son is now over 60, and daughter is going to be 60 soon. Eventually the remaining family members will die: everyone will be forgotten. This is the story of every family. Death is the final result. What is more dangerous? It is the carbon-based body getting older, and getting infirm. What about memory that is situated in the brain? With the carbon-based brain gone it will also go.

Mnemonic
The Doggie Tale:
Little doggie cringe in fear -- ŋ (velar),
Seeing Ella's flapping ears -- ɲ (palatal)
And, the Shepard's hanging rear -- ɳ (retroflex).
Doggie so sad he can't get it out
What's that Kasha क्ष
when there's a Kha ख ?
And when there's Jana ज्ञ
what I am to do with Jha झ?
On top of all there're husher and hisser, Sha श /ʃ/ and Ssa ष /s/,
when I am stuck with Theta स
/θ/ !"
Little Doggie don't be sad,
You are no worse than a Celtic Gnome
Losing G in his name, he is just a Nome!
