In School and College days there was an anti-establishment mentality amongst us all boys. Most of us were anti-Government in each aspect!! Now I understand what exactly it was. It was actually the part of "Crooked Timber of Humanity" as Immanual Kant nomenclatureedm

Estimates vary widely, but more than 50% of chronically homeless people suffer from some form of mental illness and/or addiction. And approximately 25% are severely mentally ill.4
“The persistence of large numbers of homeless Americans is one of the signal policy failures of the past two generations.”1 We are failing to care for our neediest people, and their continuing deprivation and despair stands as a testament to our national hypocrisy. Ending the epidemic of homelessness is therefore not only necessary to alleviate the suffering of the unhoused, it is also crucial to preserve America’s dwindling social solidarity and basic sense of collective civic virtue.

These houses once belonged to local successful businessmen of early 1900s. The road in front was black topped somewhere in very late 1940s. And dust from those days is still sticking. I have seen this place during my Elementary school days and the image is dated 11th Setpem ber 2015. The owners these days cannot afford to get it white washed.

Cave 17 is a Mahayana monastery covered with many well-preserved wall paintings. A Brahmi inscription found here records the excavation of this cave by a feudatory prince under Vakataka king Harishena. This monastery consists of a spacious hall surrounded by 17 cells on three sides, a vestibule and a sanctum containing the image of Buddha. The porch doorway of cave 17 is similar to that of cave 16, with which it is contemporary. The panel above the doorway depicting the seven Manushi Buddhas (Buddhas in human form) together with the Maitreya or future Buddha seated under their respective Bodhi trees.

Avacado / Persea americana

Many years back I was reading a comic book in which an elephant was going mad and was shouting because it didn’t have its quota of avocados for the luncheon. I personally thought Avocado is a fictitious vegetable. That was a time one can find information only in Encyclopedia in the college libraries. And there was no college where I grew up!

This limestone promontory is, in fact, a 260-million-year-old coral reef from the Peremian. The sea life that made up this ancient reef – species of sponge, corals, brachiopods, crinoids, fusulinids, ammonoids, etc. – was drive almost entirely extinct by the end of the Permian
