brahmins, over 'pinda pradaana' made for their deceased ancestors.
in practice, the person who performs shraaddh invites brahmins & serves them with sumptuous food, treats them with all hospitality and finally serves “pinda pradaana”. (pinda—balls made of rice, given as offerings to the deceased ancestors). and at last, 'dakshina' (donation/fees) is given to brahmins.
in many parts of india, crows (current reincarnation of the deceased ones?!) are invited/expected to eat this food. and this rituals performer family is suppose to eat only after feeding their ancestors, hence.

A well fought game, with a spirited attack at the end. Anne loses, and loses well. He did earn it in the end.
Checkmate!
After a gruesome game of chess, the king of the clear forfeits! Cloud wins!
haha! This was a fun and interesting photograph to do. I've had have this shirt forever, and I loved it ever since my aunt got it for me when I was I think seventeen. xD. Wow almost been four years... maybe three? haha.
I didn't think of using this shirt, I wanted to use another black shirt that had several colors ingraved in front of the front of it, or my purple native american shirt, but I realized they were both dirty and wet... so I didn't want to touch them, and I settled for this shirt after I didn't like how a beige shirt looked trying to do this same exact shot.
I sat this up with a chess board because I wanted to see an image with the king falling. I was originally trying to recreate my capturing the coin spinning. I wanted to get the king falling, however due to it being a glass and clear set it didn't come out right.
Apparently with clear things on glass boards they blend together to become a blur. So it was a great idea. But, it didn't work out and I turned it into this. :)
This photograph won 5 sparkles!

and rarely is it really used to play chess.
I recently REDISCOVERED Chess, its beauty, its knowledge, and how it is harmonious with life. It truly is the art of learning. Your personality and your thinking is reflected in your playing style, and then a time comes when your playing style reflects your thinking and personality. Chess can change that, chess can fix that, it can mold you.
I took this shot at the end of one of the games I played yesterday. I was playing with myself; a new way to practice my game.
I won.
I was doing another concept study the other night and took this shot. Sometimes we all get cornered in life. It's always important to remember though that you can set the pieces back up and play all over again.

The staff room of the telephone exchange. This area felt different to the rest of the bunker. The exchange had regular maintenance by GPO engineers and therefore felt quite 'lived in'. The rest of the bunker was never used... Thankfully!
Keres: Checkmate, pretty boy.
Ok, I do not play chess. I hope this is well staged.

Just mixing chess with some pop culture icons.
The current form Chess emerged in Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century after evolving from a similar, much older game of Indian origin. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide at home, in clubs, online, by correspondence, and in tournaments.
The game is played on a square chequered chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player (one controlling the white pieces, the other controlling the black pieces) controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove it from attack on the next move. (Wikipedia)
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, subsequently the Weston State Hospital, was a Kirkbride psychiatric hospital that operated from 1864 until 1994 by the government of the U.S. state of West Virginia, in the city of Weston. Built by architect Richard Andrews, it was constructed from 1858-1881.
The hospital's main building is claimed to be one of the largest hand-cut stone masonry buildings in the United States, and the second largest hand-cut sandstone building in the World, with the only bigger one being in the Moscow Kremlin. As Weston Hospital Main Building, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990.
Originally designed to house 250 patients in solitude, the hospital held 717 patients by 1880; 1,661 in 1938; over 1,800 in 1949; and, at its peak, 2,600 in the 1950s in overcrowded conditions. A 1938 report by a survey committee organized by a group of North American medical organizations found that the hospital housed "epileptics, alcoholics, drug addicts and non-educable mental defectives" among its population. A series of reports by The Charleston Gazette in 1949 found poor sanitation and insufficient furniture, lighting, and heating in much of the complex, while one wing, which had been rebuilt using Works Progress Administration funds following a 1935 fire started by a patient, was comparatively luxurious.
By the 1980s, the hospital had a reduced population due to changes in the treatment of mental illness. Those patients that could not be controlled were often locked in cages. In 1986, then-Governor Arch Moore announced plans to build a new psychiatric facility elsewhere in the state and convert the Weston hospital to a prison. Ultimately the new facility, the William R. Sharpe Jr. Hospital, was built in Weston and the old Weston State Hospital was simply closed, in May 1994. The building and its grounds have since been mostly vacant, aside from local events such as fairs, church revivals, and tours. In 1999, all four floors of the interior of the building were damaged by several city and county police officers playing paintball, three of whom were dismissed over the incident.
