Swindler Swimmer

The following notable person on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site, the only one added so far under today: 

Jaswinder Bhalla (4 May 1960 - 22 August 2025) 65, actor (…Carry On Jatta)

Note the following excerpts from yesterdays, Aug 21st post, Flurry Fury of Hurricane Erin: 

Mary Elizabeth McDonough (born May 4, 1961) Erin Walton on The Waltons

… her birthday, 4 May, is a cryptic “for May”… May being my first name.  

• Erin Andrews (born May 4, 1978) American sports reporter
• Erin Stewart (born May 4, 1987)  American politician
• Charissa Jean Thompson (born May 4, 1982)

So the cluster expands now into a “May 4(x5)” pattern cluster.   As for the name Jaswinder Bhalla, they are additions to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, that provides us with the cryptic communication re: “wind, win, in” and “hall, all”.  The “wind” aspect factors into the recent “Wind/Storm Theme” pattern cluster.  

I thought I would investigate using etymology and discovered that the “swind” part of the surname  Jaswinder, is an early word that means “strong”, note the following: 

Milicent

fem. proper name, earlier Malasintha, from shortened form of Old High German Amalswind, literally "strong in work," from amal "work" + *swind"strong" (related to Old English swið "strong," gesund "healthy")

And because there appears to be a cryptic connection to “swindler”: 

swindler(n.)

"one who cheats others, one who practices fraud or imposition," 1774, from German Schwindler "giddy person, extravagant speculator, cheat," from schwindeln "to be giddy, act extravagantly, swindle," from Old High German swintilon "be giddy," frequentative form of swintan "to languish, disappear;" cognate with Old English swindan, and probably with swima "dizziness" (see swim (v.)). 

Finally, I investigated the Bhalla wikipedia page.  There weren’t many notable persons with the surname so I checked out each, with this one standing out:  

• Harbans Bhalla (7 May 1930 – 5 April 1993)  Indian writer

His birthday stands out due to it being an addition to another cluster found in my previous post, not this excerpt: 

“May 4(x3), 6,__,  …, 14/Even Days in May” pattern cluster

The cluster expands, AND, bridges the May 7th gap, butt then it does generate a new “May 8”gap: 

 “May 4(x3), 6, 7, __,  …, 14/Even Days in May” pattern cluster

I consider this a prompt to investigate May 8, and so using the formula we venture to the May 8 wikipedia page and to the deaths section, and to those who passed away during a year ending in 3 identical numbers, … which usually tends to be 1999 and 2000.  None the one who stands out: 

• 2000 – Pita Amor, Mexican poet and author (born 1918)
• Guadalupe Teresa Amor Schmidtlein (May 30, 1918 – May 8, 2000), who wrote as Pita Amor

His day of birth is an addition to another cluster found in my previous post, expanding it now into a: 

 “March 30(x2), April 30(x2), May 30(x2), June 30(x2), July 30, August 30, September 30, October 30(x3), November 30(x3)/ 30th Day” pattern cluster

What makes this new addition interesting is that it forms a cluster within the larger cluster : “March 30(x2), April 30(x2), May 30(x2), June 30(x2)/ two each 30th Day/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.
