Hypocrisy!

Protest in India

* Lasted for 378 days

* 11 rounds of talks

* Loss of Rs.2,731 cr

* 1000 trains cancelled

* Ruckus on 26 Jan 2021

Protest in Canada

* Started on 27 Jan 2022

* No negotiations

* Accounts frozen

* Emergency Act invoked

And Trudeau, you'd fully supported the 'free and just'(?) protests of the Indian farmers. Why don't you have the guts to talk with your protesting truckers? 

And the international press calls Modi a fascist and India, undemocratic. Go, take a walk!

The "Baan Stambh"

There is a fascinating mystery called "Baan Stambh" in the ancient Somnath Temple of Gujarat. On the south side of the temple, overlooking the sea, is a pillar called "Baan Stambh". An arrow is built on the top of the pillar which points towards the sea. The existence of this pillar is mentioned in some ancient books from the 6th century.

There is an inscription carved on the pillar in Sanskrit which means, "there is no earth terrain from this point of the sea to the South Pole.

Now the fun fact. If you start travelling from Somnath Mandir towards south, you will indeed not find any mountain or piece of land until you reach the South Pole (Antarctica). The nearest land towards South Pole is nearly 10,000 km away.

So the mystery is - how did our ancestors know this fact in the 6th century?

Did they have aerial map of the earth?

What degree of knowledge of Astronomy, Geography, Mathematics and indeed Maritime Sciences they must have had!

Our ancient Indian heritage is indeed a marvel!

Tailpiece.

Got up at a 20' past 6, the chores and was ready by 10.

It was a quiet Tuesday.

Helped Lekha in watering the plants.
