What I see: A talented child of a teacher and a BARC employee who went from a Kendriya Vidyalaya (AECS-4, Mumbai) to IIT Bombay (JEE rank 77) to a top corporate position by dint of sheer hard work. What the diva sees: Look, a Brahmin cisman (when he is not even a Brahmin).

In the grand silicon valley tradition of white cismen passing the torch to Brahmin cismen Jack Dorsey is stepping down and Parag Agarwal is the new CEO of Twitter. Will he also remain silent about Caste? #casteintech nytimes.com/2021/11/29/tec

A nonsensical comment. (1) Devanagari is not the same as Hindi (2) Even in Hindi, the name is spelt हरि (= “Vishnu”) and not हरी (= “green”). There are exceptions in poetic contexts where the prosody/metre may require हरि to be हरी. But outside such contexts, it is हरि only.

That is not correct. Marathi सकाळ (sakāḷa) is from Sanskrit सकाल (sakāla), which means "betimes, early in the morning" (Apte). Hindi सकारा (sakārā), as in साँझ-सकारे, is also from Sanskrit सकाल (sakāla). Cf. Hindi सवेरा (saverā) from the similar Sanskrit word सवेल (savela).

Dr Sucheta Paranjpe, in one of her lecture, told that Sakāla (the word for morning in Marathi), is from Ushākāla in Sanskrit. Sakāla is also used in the same context in Odia.

In Hindi, one of the words for winter is ‘siyālā’ (सियाला), which is also from Sanskrit ‘śītakāla’ (शीतकाल = “time of cold”), like the below cognate words. Add to this list the Punjabi word for winter, ‘siyāl’ (ਸਿਆਲ). All have the same source.

The word for 'winter' in some Western Indo-Aryan lects- Konkani : šĩyāḷɔ (शिंयाळो) Gujarati : šiyāḷɔ (શિયાળો)(शियाळो) Marwadi : siyāḷɔ (सियाळो) Harauti : šiyāḷɔ (शियाळो) Haryanvi : sīḷau (सीळौ) All come from Sanskrit śītakālakaḥ (शीतकालकः)

“कीनना” क्रिया संस्कृत √“क्री[णा]” धातु से आई है। श्यामसुन्दर दास सम्पादित “हिन्दी शब्दसागर” में— कीनना = क्रि॰स॰ [सं॰ क्रीणन] “खरीदना। मोल लेना। क्रय करना।” बदरीनाथ कपूर कृत “बृहत् प्रामाणिक हिन्दी कोश” में भी “कीनना” है। अतः हिन्दी में इसका प्रयोग उचित भी है और वाञ्छित भी।

प्रसाद-प्रशाद ‘प्रसाद’ = “प्रसन्नता”, “नैवेद्य”। प्रसाद से भक्त प्रसन्न होते हैं। ‘शाद’ = “नई-नई हरी-हरी घास”। ‘प्रशाद’ = “बहुत नई-नई हरी-हरी घास”। प्रशाद से गधे-घोड़े भेड़-बकरी गाय-भैंस प्रसन्न होते हैं,। अतः मनुष्यों के लिए ‘च्यवनप्रसाद’ बनाइए, और पशुओं के लिए ‘च्यवनप्रशाद’।
