    1. இந்திய அளவில் என் பிரியத்துக்குரிய பயணக்கட்டுரையாளர்கள் மூவர். முதன்மையானவர் தாகூர். அன்றும் இன்றும் இந்தியமொழிகளின் மகத்தான பயணக்கட்டுரையாளர் அவரே. அவருடைய செல்வ வளம் அவரை தொடர் பயணியாக வாழ வழிவகுத்தது. இமையமலைகளில் ஆப்ரிக்க பழங்குடி நிலங்களில் அரேபிய பாலையில் என அவர் பயணம் செய்துகொண்டே இருந்தார். குறிப்பாக அவருடைய ஆவிக்கப்பல் பயணங்கள் எனக்கு பெரும் கனவென நினைவில் நீடிக்கின்றன. இரண்டாமவர் காகா காலேல்கர். இந்தியாவின் அத்தனை ஆறுகளையும் ஏரிகளையும் நேரில் சென்று பார்த்து அவர் எழுதிய ‘ஜீவன்லீலா’ என்ற நூல் ஒரு பெரும்படைப்பு. மலையாளத்தில் ஞானபீடப் பரிசுபெற்ற எழுத்தாளரான எஸ்.கே.பொற்றேக்காட் எழுதிய பயணக்கட்டுரைகள் எல்லாம் பெரும்புனைவுகளுக்கு நிகராக உளம் கவர்பவை.

    1. hypertension, heart disease, stomach ills,respiratory difficulties, and depressive episodes, often referred to as ner-vous breakdowns

      does this :internalization" process also contribute to the depressive episodes?

      In order to maintain their image of a strong black woman, black women mask those behaviors which may make them seem weak. aka "internalizing" them.

      this now makes more sinse as to why her initial breakdown is in her apartment in the first place. she only becomes other parts of herselves when she's alone.

    2. being strong encourages Black women to adopt an extensive andpotentially self-negating caretaking role to others.

      Though it's not really shown if sarah has a care taking role/ personality, two of her four "selves" have lived selfless lives that resulted in their execution/ crucification.

      both JEsus and Lumbaba.

    1. Sancho had not thought it worth while to hobble Rocinante, feeling sure, from what he knew of his staidness and freedom from incontinence, that all the mares in the Cordova pastures would not lead him into an impropriety. Chance, however, and the devil, who is not always asleep, so ordained it that feeding in this valley there was a drove of Galician ponies belonging to certain Yanguesan carriers, whose way it is to take their midday rest with their teams in places and spots where grass and water abound; and that where Don Quixote chanced to be suited the Yanguesans' purpose very well. It so happened, then, that Rocinante took a fancy to disport himself with their ladyships the ponies, and abandoning his usual gait and demeanour as he scented them, he, without asking leave of his master, got up a briskish little trot and hastened to make known his wishes to them; they, however, it seemed, preferred their pasture to him, and received him with their heels and teeth to such effect that they soon broke his girths and left him naked without a saddle to cover him; but what must have been worse to him was that the carriers, seeing the violence he was offering to their mares, came running up armed with stakes, and so belaboured him that they brought him sorely battered to the ground.

      This passage of Don Quixote seems to give readers a great image of Rocinante's personality. This also further proves that even the animals in Cervantes's book are characters that take on life and add to the plot. In this case, it was Rocinante who wandered into Yanguesan carriers. Rocinante's actions of trying to mate with their Galician ponies did not sit well with the Yanguesans, who began beating the horse. Seeing this, Don Quixote and Sancho were dragged into the fight, making this another notable scene in the plot.
