NARMADA PARIKRAMA
The Narmada also called the Rewa, is a river in central India and the fifth longest river in the Indian subcontinent. It is the third longest river that flows entirely within India, after the Godavari and the Krishna. It is also known as "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh" for its huge contribution to the state of Madhya Pradesh in many ways. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and South India and flows westwards over a length of 1,312 km (815.2 mi) before draining through theGulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea, 30 km (18.6 mi) west of Bharuch city of Gujarat. It is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west (longest west flowing river), along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is the one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. The other rivers which flows through rift valley include Damodar River in Chota Nagpur Plateau and Tapti. The Tapti River and Mahi River also flow through rift valleys, but between different ranges. It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh(1,077 km (669.2 mi)), and Maharashtra, (74 km (46.0 mi))– (35 km (21.7 mi)) then along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (39 km (24.2 mi) and the border between Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and in Gujarat (161 km (100.0 mi)).
The Periplus Maris Erythraei (c. 80 AD) calls it the Nammadus, and theBritish Raj called it the Nerbudda or Narbada. Narmadā is a Sanskrit word meaning "the Giver of Pleasure".
To Hindus the Narmada is one of the five holy rivers of India; the other four beingGanges, Yamuna, Godavari and Kaveri. It is believed that a dip in any of these five rivers washes one's sins away. According to a legend, the river Ganges, polluted by millions of people bathing in it, assumes the form of a black cow and comes to the Narmada to bathe and cleanse itself in its holy waters. Legends also claim that the Narmada River is older than the river Ganges.
The river was mentioned by Ptolemy in the second century AD as Namade and by the author of the Periplus. The Ramayana, the Mahabharat, and thePuranas refer to it frequently. The Rewa Khand of Vayu Purana and the Rewa Khand of Skanda Purana are entirely devoted to the story of the birth and the importance of the river, and hence Narmada is also called the Rewa.
There are many fables about the origin of the Narmada. According to one of them, once Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe, meditated so hard that he started perspiring. Shiva's sweat accumulated in a tank and started flowing in the form of a river – the Narmada. Another legend has it that two teardrops that fell from the eyes of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, yielded two rivers – the Narmada and the Son.
Legends also say that for Lord Shiva, the Hindu God, the river is especially sacred on account of its origin, and it is often called Shankari, i.e., daughter of Shankar (Lord Shiva). All the pebbles rolling on its bed are said to take the shape of his emblem with the saying, "Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar" (a popular saying in the Hindi belt of India), which means that 'pebble stones of Narmada get a personified form of Shiva'. These lingam shaped stones (cryptocrytalline quartz), calledBanalinga also called (Banashivalingas) are much sought after for daily worship by the Hindus. The Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, constructed by Rajaraja Chola, has one of the biggest Banalingas. Adi Shankara met his guru Govinda Bhagavatpada on the banks of the river Narmada.
Narmada is also said to have been in love with the Sonbhadra, another river flowing on the Chota Nagpur Plateau. According to the Puranas, the Narmada is also called the Rewa, from its leaping motion (from the root 'rev') through its rocky bed.
Important religious places and Ghats along the course of the river, starting from its origin at Narmadakhund at Amarkantakhill, are a) the Amarkantak (in Sanskrit: Neck of Shiva) or Teertharaj (the King of Pilgrimages), b) Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, and Mahadeo temples, Nemawar Siddeshwar Mandir in the middle reach of the river – all named after Shiva, c) Chausath Yogini (sixty four yoginis) temple, d) Chaubis Avatar temple, e) Bhojpur Shiva temple and Bhrigu Rishi temple in Bharuch. The Narmada River is also worshipped as mother goddess by Narmadeeya Brahmins.
The importance of the Narmada River as sacred is testified by the fact that the pilgrims perform a holy pilgrimage of aparikrama or circumambulation of the river.[17] The Narmada Parikrama, as it is called, is considered to be a meritorious act that a pilgrim can undertake. Many sadhus and pilgrims walk on foot from the Arabian Sea at Bharuch in Gujarat, along the river, to the source in Maikal Mountains (Amarkantak hills) in Madhya Pradesh and back along the opposite bank of the river. It is a 2,600-kilometre (1,600 mi) walk.[18] Important towns of interest in the valley are Jabalpur, Barwani, Hoshangabad, Harda, Narmada Nagar, Omkareshwar, Dewas (Nemavar, Kity, Pipri), Mandla and Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, andRajpipla and Bharuch in Gujarat. Some places of historical interest are Joga Ka Quilla, Chhatri of Baji Rao Peshwa andBhimbetka, and among the falls are the Dugdhdhara, Dhardi falls, Bheraghat, Dhuandhara, Kapiladhara and Sahastradhara.

I saw Michael crossing a street in Tampa and immediately approached him. I explained the 100 Strangers group and he said "fine", and struck this pose. I could not have asked for more. Michael is currently homeless and stays in a Salvation Army shelter for $8/night. But where do you get $8 when you are unemployed?
Thank you Micheal, for allowing me to photograph you for this group. Good luck, my friend.
Same photo as below, just edited different. i prefer this one tbh. cutting out the hair took FOREVAH though.
And i ADORE this song. Its Ke$ha. My friend says that if i were an alcoholic, i'd be just like her. she's a frickin lunatic.
You gotta love a bit of lunacy♥

There were alot of speculations about the actress pairing opposite Tamil star actor Suriya in his upcoming 24 which will directed by Vikram kumar. Now the 24 team put an end to all rumors and roped in Samantha to the play lead role opposite suriya. This Sci -Fci film will be produced by...
Designer: Berthon
Builder: Berthon Boat Co.
Year: 1936
Location Scotland
Length on deck: 47'
Beam: 12'
Draft: 7'
Tonnage(TM): 24TM
£79,000
One of the largest Gauntlets built by the Berthon Boat Co. she is typical of the design with an elegant sheer and canoe stern. Commissioned by the chairman of Coutts bank, she was built in 1936 to Lloyds 100A1 and maintained in class until 1984.
She was in the same family ownership for the first 40 years of her life after which she was sold to a Swiss family who took her to the Caribbean for charter work. On the way home she was dismasted and consequently sold by Wooden Ships to the present owner in 1991. Then started a 16 year refit in Scotland where the boat was checked from top to bottom, a new rig fitted, interior refurbished and all new systems and electrics fitted.
The rig was re-designed during the refit and her old Bermudan cutter rig was replaced with a cutter headed yawl rig. This enabled the overall sail area to be increased while decreasing the size of the mizzen and making her generally a lot easier to handle. There are no longer running backstays because of the use of jumper struts, the jib is on a roller reefing system and the staysail is boomed making her very simple and easy to sail. The owner has reported she will sail upwind with just a mizzen and staysail, and in over a Force 5 she will tack upwind comfortably with a staysail and reefed main.
A very impressive and eye catching yacht, full of character and pedigree with much of her original interior and fittings. Now in lovely condition after a thorough 16 year refit she is an unusual and very special yacht.
24 ton Berthon Gauntlet
Very sensibly priced considering the quality of this superb yacht. This is not because of problems with the condition of the boat but simply because the elderly owner wishes to move her on.
Length on Deck 47′

I've been soooo busy these days that I couldn't do the past days' pictures :( but I'm thinking of doing them when March is over, because I don't have much time to do the 4 pictures at the same time.
El 24 de Marzo de 1976 se lanzó en Argentina un golpe de Estado que puso en el poder a una dictadura cívico-militar que se alzaría con los crímenes más atroces de la historia del país.
Cada año en este día, miles y miles de personas en todo el país se movilizan para reclamar Memoria, Verdad y Justicia.
This is on the sign for a McDonalds in Hong Kong, China.
A different way of saying "Open 24 Hours".
I wonder if this is the British way to say this or if it's "Chinglish". It certainly is not how they would say it in America!
Sorry Guys it was a really busy day with no time to take photos...this is just some of the "stuff" found regularly on my kitchen table :)

If you want to keep your golden retriever's coat bright and shiny simply place a gold drinking bowl in the middle of the floor. Works every time.
Obsidian bowls works for black dogs and copper bowls works for vizslas. Ivory bowls work best for white dogs but who really wants to harm an elephant just to keep your white dogs white. Do you???
For white dogs, if you have to, you can always use a marble bowl in a pinch.
Davo per scontato che avrebbe piovuto tutto il tempo e sono uscita di casa senza macchia fotografica .. quando il peggio era passato ed ho notato il primo arcobaleno tutto di me ha cominciato a soffrire, guardavo la luce del sole alle mie spalle e le nuvole di fronte - qualche minuto dopo correvo a perdifiato per raggiungere la diga di Colfosco, con l'unica cosa che mi avrebbe permesso di immortalare quello spettacolo ... chi se ne frega se non avevo la D90, chi se ne frega del fango, chi se ne frega se sono in ritardo .. sbagliando si impara è proprio vero.
Oggi a solo due giorni di distanza accarezzo con le dita la mia reflex , fuori piove ma noi.. aspettiamo con ansia il prossimo incredibile spettacolo.
