Watermelon

 #W For Watermelon 

Summer arrived. With changing seasons, some fruits follow the law of nature to come in the particular season. If we understand rightly, nature provides us seasonal fruits. They will do good for our body and mind. That's why having the fruits is one sure way to keep up our sound health. Whenever summer comes, I personally like to gorge on watermelon, I love the taste, color and cool quality of the fruit. Watermelon is full of antioxidants and nutrients. Also supports us with variety of vitamins like A and C.

Toda's Model Hut

    #T For Toda's model hut

The above is the model of Toda tribe's hut. Taken it when I visited Udagamandalam  or Ooty of Tamil nadu state. There was a large fair in the botanical gardens and it was also a part of that fair. Toda tribal people live in the Nilgiris district. They have their own distinctive culture. Be it handicrafts or cloths or food or in the matter of hut making which is evident as we're seeing in the pic. People were also purchasing some herbal medicines from the stall. This model hut was created by the state government of Tamil nadu to showcase the special entity of Nilgiris.

Stray Dog in front of our house

     #S For Stray Dog in front of our house

I don't have any pets for the last three decades. That doesn't mean I hate pets. I grew up a dog in my college days. It was so faithful and loving. Literally, it has become our family member. Sometimes I skipped my journeys to look after the dog, because our Tiger (Name of our dog) wouldn't eat or drink from the hands of others. That's why small sacrifices like that made by me with affection. What a beautiful scene it was our Tiger kept moving it's tail soon after seeing me not only that love plus respect both would get reflected in the kind looking eyes of our Tiger. Clueless to this very day, Our Tiger vanished one morning without making any barking sounds. It was a great mystery where our loving creature had gone. I became tearful for many days. My heart shattered. On that very day, I had taken a decision to have not grown any dogs in the future. Because bonding between the dog and the human being is greater than any other so called love. We can't withstand it's absence or death or missing for any reason.

(Our Bruce taking rest on the sandheap, brought for a wall construction) 

After all these years, a stray dog won my heart with its good behavior and discipline. Two months back (roughly) a dog was wondering in our street and when raining , it was taking a small place from our vehicle parking lot to shelter itself . It keeps aside standing whenever I started my vehicle, created no obstacle to my departure. Not only that, it stood and move aside whenever my vehicle come in. Seeing very kindly towards me. It's purely a stray dog but how gently it behaves when we have a drop of sympathy. With all our busy life, we ignore small and subtle signs of animals. In fact, humans have to learn a lot from them. Love excels all. It reminded me the Bible word.

Amused. One day I thought of its life style. That dog goes out around six o'clock in the morning. Perhaps, to fetch some rotten food somewhere on the streets. At mid day, came here to rest in our parking place (shed). After taking some hours of rest, again goes outside for perhaps meeting his friends. Exactly around seven o'clock in the evening , came back to sleep here in our shed. So leisurely thinking in a carefree posture. On  any small sound made by commuters in the night, our dog keeps sending out warning growls. So it has become a security guard on its own. One day, evening , I brought some mysuru bonda for the dog. It devoured all of them so happily. You should see the feeling of the gratitude in its beaming eyes.

Every evening, I started offering some food and water. Some people wondered when  I have been feeding the stray dog. Our dog may not be a foreign breed but one core quality is there in it. Faithfulness and respecting its feeder. A small boy asked me one day, "uncle what's your dog's name..?", I was really ashamed to have not named it till then. All of a sudden, I stammered "yes, our dog name is Bruce". This dog is a street fighter and just like a  Bruce Lee for me. Don't care what others think of it. Everyday, Our Bruce keep waiting for me for the food and a little talk. It sounds so happily whenever I talk to him. He understands simple Telugu and English words.

There are so many things to write. I keep writing whenever time permits me.

Rue in French language

 #R For Rue in French Language

On the pretext of this challenge , let me recall the word Rue in French language. It's meaning Street. I have come cross this word when I had been in Pondicherry in the year of 2019. Rue Saint Gills was the name of that street , got clicked the board for fun. All you know very well, Pondy was the strong bastion of the French once upon a time. I am not going to describe all that history again. French names were seen in many places and we were helpless recalling the moments vanished in thin air. Visited Maha Samadhi of Sri Aurobindo and Mother in the Ashram. Ambiance was calm and serene, well maintained educational institutions and other establishments were there. Here I am posting two pics of the place.

Q For Quotation of Napoleon Bonaparte

 #Q For Quotation of Napoleon Bonaparte

Quotations move us sometimes. In fact, they trigger action in us. The people who experienced a lot in some field would put their soul in the words are the real ones to move inner self of any reader. That kind of words come spontaneously while they speak or write, later they will be remembered as quotations. Some people write quotations for quotations sake. Then they sound lifeless and pale. Most of the famous quotes taken from various writers belonged to some novels or stories. They might have told in some other context but it will be applicable universally. That's how great quotes are born and can be lived forever.

Here, see the quotation of Napoleon Bonaparte. When I read it for the first time, It made me think twice about it's meaning and context. I was thinking about a soldiers prime virtue as courage itself  but after going through the words given above, I was thoughtful and convinced myself . Yes, endurance of fatigue is the prime requisite for a soldier, then only his courage to shown in the field. Such a deep quotation. Napoleon with his vast experience in the battles might come to that conclusion.

Photo Journalism

 #P For Photo Journalism

What is Photo Journalism..? We experience it everyday. Get influenced by it. Sometimes we do recall who reported particular news item in the news paper but hardly we thought of photo journalists. A good photograph's impact is much intensive rather than words, which explains even where words fail to tell something. Whatever the happening and wherever it takes place. For instance, here I have given two pics. About the ready to collapse old school building. See, and understand how it looked like.

 

We could understand much more than thousands of words !

Orissa Temple

 #O For Orissa Temple

Architecture of Orissa always enthralls me for its rich and creative constructions, that too, the temples have very unique design compared to other Indian states. The spiraling structure with statues and intricate wall decoration. Mostly red sand used in many prominent temples like Kedareswara temple, Lingaraja temple and Raja rani temple. I don't know any other state's capital city like Bhubaneswar as having plethora of ancient temples. The above pic of Kedareswar temple was captured when I visited Bhubaneswar.

N For Nostradamus of India

 #N For Nostradamus of India (Brahmam Garu)

We all knew that Nostradamus and his reputation for prophecies he made in view of western world. Hitler's rise during WW 2  and attack on twin towers of Newyork and so on are the events he had foreseen in his book "Les Propheties" and he used 942 poetic quatrains to accomplish his work of future predictions. In the same way, we also have one Nostradamus for our country and he had been less known outside Telugu  states for different reasons. He had also written his future predictions or prophesies in his magnum opus work "Kaala Jnaanam" in a poetic way.  His name was Pothuluri Veera Brahmendra Swamy, and also fondly called by "Brahmam garu" in short.

(The great seer and Nostradamus of India)

No introduction about him is needed for Telugu people. He was a great yogi, philosopher, reformer and future predictor. He was born in 16th century and had foreseen hundreds of years ahead of his time. If any significant event happened, many people thought of "Kaala Jnaanam" whether it had mentioned in or not. Brahmam garu, first, started telling his predictions to Garimireddy Achamma garu of Banaganapalli, now it's in Kadapa district. Later on, he propagated in his travels to different places. By accepting a Muslim and a Dalit as his disciples, he practiced that what he preached. In those remotest times, that was really a most courageous act even in terms of spiritual instruction. 

(On palm leaf, Kaala Jnaanam)

Here are some of his predictions ( proved right too)

1. A widow lady would rule the country  (Mrs. Indira Gandhi)

2. White faced people come and rule our country  (The British people)

3.A Vyshya (Business caste) community man would rise to get freedom  (Mahatma Gandhi)

4.Equality of two genders would prevail in all respects in future

5.Brahmins do all kinds of business including footwear in future

6.Hybridization prevails in plants and human beings as well

7.Screen people would rule in future  (Like MGR, Jayalalitha and NTR)

And many many predictions like these Brahman Garu said in his future book of Kaala Jnaanam. Some got proved and some are waiting to be proved. His teachings and predictions are sometimes direct and sometimes cryptic, symbolic and poetic muse. One thing should be told here, else, which would have been incomplete in spirit. Famous actor and former chief minister NTR produced a movie, himself as the hero, on this great seer titled " Sri Madviraat Pothuluru Veera Brahmendra swamy vaari charitra". If possible try to watch for more details.
