Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka, 2011
Normal people with extraordinary lifestyles
Along with smile and the gloomy, here life has its own rhyme, has its own colour.
Time passed by, humanity changed along with its history...
But these people remained here tolerating the hardest truth of existences
..........its their story of extraordinary existences.
Sakharibazar, Old Dhaka. A very interesting place for all of us to visit. Culture and customs of old Dhaka are the tribute to the ancient history of Bangladesh. Peoples still living in 100 years old building from generations after generations. With the reflection of their religious beauty Old Dhaka attracts peoples from here and abroad.
Shakhari Bazaar is one of the oldest mohallas (a traditional neighbourhood) in Puran Dhaka (Old Dhaka), located near the intersection of Islampur Road and Nawabpur Road;the two main arteries of the old city and only a block away from the Buriganga River. Shakhari Bazaar stretches along a narrow lane, lined with thin slices of richly decorated brick buildings, built during the late Mughal or Colonial period. Despite rampant modifications, accretion, extension over time, even redevelopment, many still bear the testimony of a rich tradition.
Shakhari Bazaar is the manifestation of the irrational policies, lack of adequate development control rules and distorted legal framework, all of which have left their indelible mark on this precious little mohalla that shares a long history of more than 400 years with Dhaka city itself.The history of Shakhari Bazaar goes back to the pre-Mughal days if not earlier. The first mention of Puran Dhaka can be found in the writings of Mirza Nathan, the general turned historian, who traveled with Subahdar Islam Khan. He mentioned Puran Dhaka, as the area between Dholai Khal and Buriganga river covering Shakhari Bazaar, Tanti Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Lakhsmi Bazaar, Bangla Bazaar, Kamar Nagar, Sutar Nagar, Goala Nagar, etc. Each mohalla belonged to separate communities depending on their craft and trade. The influences of the Mughal vocabulary in the planning of the spaces are literally evident in the use of Persian names to identify different spaces..

Yesterday, scientists published evidence from a 15-year dataset for the existence of 'stochastic' gravitational waves. If you are not an astrophysicist or astrophysics aficionado, you will likely wonder what the big deal in that is. Although background gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein in 1916 as a part of his grand theory of general relativity, the phenomenon was not empirically proven and remained the next major frontier in Physics. To simplify, gravitational waves could be thought of as ‘disturbances’ or ‘ripples’ in the fabric of spacetime, somewhat like –but much weaker than– a body of water hit by a boulder. These 'waves' of undulating spacetime were predicted to propagate from massive accelerating cosmic objects (e.g., black holes or neutron stars), or cataclysmic events (such as collision of two black holes) of the early universe. To detect and measure them, one needs two components: galactic amount of space and a lot of time. Where could one find so much space on this tiny planet Earth? Enter Pulsars. Pulsars are a subclass of neutron stars (burnout remnant of past massive stars) that rotate rapidly and beam their emission along their magnetic axis at a certain frequency. You could think of them as galactic lighthouses that emit radio waves as incredibly regular pulses from all around the cosmos. With appropriate listening devices (gigantic telescopes), one could keep track of their position in the spacetime fabric. Should pulsars –that are spaced around the galaxy– undulate due to gravitational waves, spacetime between them and earth will be stretched causing variation in arrival times of their pulses in a correlated way (Hellings and Downs correlation, if you are nerdy). NANOGrav scientists painstakingly collected data for arrival times of such pulses for 15 years. And now, their analyses reveal that the 68 pulsars tracked for all these years were wildly dancing in those protracted ‘stochastic gravitational waves’, which have been rippling all over the universe from the dawn of time. How cool is that? Somewhere among those stars up there, Einstein must have muttered yesterday, ‘…told ya!’.
Now, upon lunatic reflections, one realizes that cataclysmic events of our own past often reverberate in our thoughts, actions, and our existence. Could those be our personal gravitational waves that ride the cosmos of our soul? Are there any pulsars in our being to detect these waves? Do these waves cause emissions of our existence to reach other ports delayed or hurried? I am not sure. Somewhere among those stars up there, Einstein will likely know and mutter, ‘…the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious’.
PS: 'Waves' in lake waters above were caused by a loopy tourist, who decided to deal with distorted gravitational waves of his soul by stripping down and jumping in the ice-cold lake for a stochastic swim.

Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. : Osho
I thank you God for this most amazing day...

Berlin hat auf Grund seiner Teilungsgeschichte gleich zwei Zoologische Gärten. Sie stehen zwar inzwischen unter gemeinsamer Verwaltung unterschiedliche Namen und unterscheiden sich auch in ihrer Konzeption. Der Zoologische Garten Berlin ist der älteste noch bestehende Zoo Deutschlands und einer der artenreichsten Zoos der Welt.
Im 1844 gegründeten Zoologischen Garten, mit dem offizielen Kurznamen Zoo Berlin, sind auf einer 33 Hektar großen Fläche rund 18.000 Tiere aus etwa 1000 Arten zu sehen. Mit dem angeschlossenen Aquarium gehört der Zoo zu den meistbesuchten Sehenswürdigkeiten Berlins. Mit 3,6 Millionen Besuchern im Jahr 2024 war die Einrichtung der meistbesuchte Zoo in Europa. Der zweite Zoo hat eine deutlich jüngere Geschichte. Er nennt sich Tierpark Berlin (Berlin Animal Park) und wurde 1954 gegründet und 1955 auf dem weitläufigen Gelände eines ehemaligen Schlossparks im Ortsteil Friedrichsfelde im Ostteil Berlin eröffnet. Da der Zoologische Garten im Zentrum des Westteils der geteilten Stadt lag, sollten die Einwohner des Ostteils ihren eigenen Tierpark bekommen. Mit 160 Hektar Fläche ist er der größte Landschaftstierpark in Europa. Ein Teil des Geländes wurde bereits 1821 vom Gartenbaumeister Peter Joseph Lenné als Landschaftsgarten gestaltet. Es ist also eher ein Landschaftspark mit zum Teil weiträumigen Gehegen entstanden. Zum Bestand des Tierparks zählen 7797 Tiere aus 632 Arten (Stand: 31. Dezember 2023).
Verschiedene Quellen, aber vor allem zusammengestellt auf Basis von Wikipedia-Artikeln
Due to its history of division, Berlin has two zoological gardens. Although they are now under joint administration, they have different names and also differ in their concept. The Berlin Zoological Garden is the oldest zoo still in existence in Germany and one of the most species-rich zoos in the world.
Founded in 1844, the Zoological Garden, official short name 'Berlin Zoo', is home to around 18,000 animals from around 1,000 species on an area of 33 hectares. With its adjoining aquarium, the Zoo is one of Berlin's most visited attractions. With 3.6 million visitors in 2024, it was the most visited zoo in Europe. The second zoo has a much younger history. It is called Tierpark Berlin (Berlin Animal Park) and was founded in 1954 and opened in 1955 on the extensive grounds of a former Manor park in the Friedrichsfelde district in the eastern part of Berlin. Since the Zoological Garden was located in the centre of the western part of the divided city, the inhabitants of the eastern part were to have their own animal park. With an area of 160 hectares, it is the largest landscape animal park in Europe. Part of the site was designed as a landscape garden by master gardener Peter Joseph Lenné as early as 1821. It is therefore more of a landscape park with partially spacious enclosures. The Animal Park is home to 7,797 animals of 632 species (as of 31 December 2023).

Last night while watching The Handmaid's Tale, I was struck (blown away, actually) by the cinematographic image of June walking up the spiral staircase at the Waterford home in blue tones--the only contrast being the lamp at the top of the stairs, and June's handmaid dress and white cap. So I tried to capture it on pause, but was unable to pause without the pause indicators obstructing the screen image. This was the next best thing I could manage (hence the movement blur of June walking up the stairs). It was so evocative, I just had to try to capture it!
Ask me what in love in this life. Answer is you … The best in the world.
Looking at my life time Love …. Love is still sweet and endless.
All because of you …… My existence is because of you !!
Unveiling the truth about the existence of other universes is very difficult, there are just some theories. We have some knowledge about our universe, which have a lot of galaxies and black holes. Big bang, gravitation and atoms are played a big roll for the existence of our universe as we know now. After big bang, atoms started to exist. An atom is a product of big bang.
There are theories that we might have more big bangs. At the birth of a universe, it could happen that some things go wrong or differently ( might be effected by other big bangs), and a universe could not exist as expected like a universe might have two coordinates, x-y coordinates (without z coordinate). It could be a very thin universe. The thickness could be in the size of atoms or crystals if an atom based universe was created.
L'existence est un éternel ballet d'allées et venues.
En somme, exister, c'est transgresser les frontières, fussent-elles aussi anecdotiques que celle d'une porte.
Et encore, certaines portes sont loin d'être anecdotiques.
Et très heureuse année 2024 !
The picture is a story of fishing on the seashore. The fishermen keep getting the net and after a long time drag the net to the shore. It is a very difficult task which can be understood through the eyes of the fishermen. After working so hard, their joy knows no bounds when they get a lot of fish. Their struggle for existence continued for years. I tried to capture their hard work on my camera.

Inside a monk's cell. The Carthusian monks led a solitary existence, mostly living, praying and working alone in their cells and only seeing other monks at matins, vespers and occasionally mass. Their accommodation consisted of a living room, a study, and a bedroom & oratory with a work room on the first floor. They tended a walled vegetable garden behind the cell. It acted as a small private monastery within the priory. Even food was passed through an L-shaped hole in the wall.
Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop.
And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.

Take me out to sea
Away from you and me
Let me float
Lead me out to sea
Let me go
Let me rise towards the sky
Let me take in this light
Let the shore disappear from sight
I'm caught in your undertow....
