One Rupee Commemorative coin on Cellular Jail was issued in 1997. The Cellular Jail, also known as Kālā Pānī, was a colonial prison situated in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The prison was used by the British especially to exile political prisoners to the remote archipelago. Many notable freedom fighters such as Batukeshwar Dutt and Veer Savarkar, among others, were imprisoned here during the struggle for India's independence.

My guide, whose name I could not decipher as his accent was so strong, showed me around with great enthusiasm. I left a small donation made up of Rupees (with Gandhi smiling back) and Rands (with Nelson Mandela nodding agreement). The guide was happy that the 'brothers' were together in the donation plate.
“Mukteswar Mandir is a 10th-century Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva dating back to 950–975. It's intricate exterior shows Jain and Buddist influences. The torana, or the arched gateway, dates back to about 900 CE and shows the influence of Buddhist architecture. The arched gateway has thick pillars that have strings of beads and other ornaments carved on statues of smiling women in languorous repose.” (Wikipedia)
Mukteswar Mandir, is small intimate and, on my visit still exuded a spiritual air, something lost to the big, busy, and crowded Lingaraj Mandir just up the road.
Chatted to a retired historian, Mishra, who lived in the same road as the temple and took the opportunity to relate large chunks of Indian history to me. As a fellow history buff I enjoyed the exchange. I think he did too.

Ramboda/Sri lanka (300 hundred men and women work at the Blue Field tea plantation under the strongest sun and very hard working conditions. Their salary is about 500 LKR rupees (around $3 USD) per 8 hours, working 6 days a week, and in many cases 7 days a week.
"The tea collection is a difficult and laborious task, but few studies have analyzed risks by work activities or the work environment. To investigate the effects of work activities and work environment on tea collectors by looking from dermatological perspective, detailed dermatological examination was performed on tea collectors and clinical backgrounds of the participants were questioned and all findings were noted. The participants clinically suspected for skin, hair and nail infections have been referred to our hospital microbiology laboratory for sampling. The most common diseases in the participants were allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis and acute paronychia. These three diseases accounted for 59.1% of the total diseases in tea collectors. Clinical background story was unremarkable in the vast majority of participants. The current study draws attention to this business area and health problems of tea collectors. The authors think that, use of protective equipment such as masks and gloves during working and receiving of safety training related to their job will decrease work-related health problems of tea collectors".

走進蜿蜒巷子
像是小時回外公家彎彎小小卻溫暖的空間
每戶人家緊密相連
生活連結就是每個巷子的雜貨店
繽紛的街道
有粉紅,天空藍,和俗俗的橘色
好像空中往下看可以想像而美好的積木屋
雜貨店的小男孩跑向跟我們握手
純真快樂對我們微笑
轉頭跟我們說One Rupee
No!My Name Is Not One Rupee.
Ok?
走出巷子時
我收下那個以往的疊影

Change is very necessary in life - to keep us moving, to keep us growing and to keep us interested.
The only way to bring any change is to change the way you think - give yourself a whack on the side of the head and think about doing it the other way.
According to an ancient prophecy, whoever could untie the "gordian knot" was destined to become king of Asia. All who tried - failed to solve this complicated puzzle. Then Alexander the Great had a turn. He also failed to find a starting point of the knot. Finally ,after many attempts, he pulled out his sword and cut the knot in half. Asia was fated to him.
He challenged the rules and didn't do the obvious.
Change isn't that bad - you see! Wouldn't life be "lifeless" if there was no change?
Humayun's Tomb
The Tomb Complex
There are various views regarding internment of the body of Humayun. It is generally agreed that his body was initially buried in the Purana Qila, later moved to a temporary burial tomb in Sirhind, due to the invasion of Hemu in 1556. His body was again brought back to Delhi and buried in the Sher Mandal when Akbar defeated Hemu, and ultimately to the present location when the mausoleum was built by his begum and widow, Haji Begum in 1569. The mausoleum was built at an estimated cost of rupees fifteen lakhs. The Humayun’s tomb marks the beginning of the major building activities of the Mughals.
The building style is a combination of Persian architecture and indigenous building styles. The right combination of the red sandstone building medium with the white marble, the latter used as large inlays, exhibits the maturity of this style. This kind of combination of red sandstone and white marble in the tombs could be invariably seen in the architecture of Delhi Sultanates of 14th century A.D. The earliest example, of course, is the Alai Darwaza which has exquisite white marble decorations over red sandstone background. The Mughals readopted this style of decorative architecture and in a sense revived this technique of construction. The other buildings which used this style of decoration include that of mosque of Jamali Kamali (ca. 1528-29), the Qala-i-Kuhna mosque (ca. 1534) and the tomb of Ataga Khan (ca. 1556-67).
The Humayun tomb is located at the centre of a huge garden complex. The garden complex is divided mainly into four compartments further being sub-divided into many square parts (a typical example of Mughal char-bagh), with causeways and water channels, and water pavilions at regular intervals. The tomb complex is enclosed by a high rubble wall; entered through two entrance gateways, one on the west and other on the south, the latter being closed now. The south gate rises to a height of nearly 15.5 metres and consists of a central octagonal hall flanked rectangular rooms. The first floor of the gateway has square and oblong rooms. On the outside, the gate is flanked by screen-walls with arched recesses. Immediately to the west of the south gateway is an enclosure measuring 146 metres by 32 metres, built against the exterior face of the enclosure wall. The building is a low-roofed one with 25 arched entrances and was meant to house the attendants of the royal tomb. Another building is also located nearby, which along with the above enclosure is a later addition. At present, the western gate is used by the visitors to enter the tomb complex. The west gate is smaller in comparison to the south gate and rises to a height of 7 metres and is also double-storeyed.
The northern, southern and western walls of the boundary wall are built of rubble stone and its interior face consists of recessed arches. On the eastern side, the height of the enclosure wall is subdued and was originally meant as an access to the Yamuna river which was flowing nearby.
The tomb proper is constructed over a huge and elevated platform 6.5 m in height, the face of which is relieved by a series of arched openings on all four sides, except four entrance stairs, one each at the centre of four sides. There are 17 arched openings on each of the four sides, and the corners are champered. The combination of the arched openings and the champered corners gives an aesthetic look to the whole monument.
The building medium in the Humayun’s Tomb is of three kinds of stones, viz., red sandstone, while marble and quartzite. The enclosure walls and the two gateways are constructed of local quartzite with red sandstone dressing and marble inlay. The stairs of platform of the main tomb is also dressed with quartzite. The quartzite is locally available in the ridges of Delhi, while the red sandstone came from the mines of Tantpur near Agra and white marble from the famous Makrana mines of Rajasthan.
The ascending stairs at the centre of each of the four sides of the elevated platform leads to an open terrace, at the centre of which is located is the main tomb. The main tomb is located below the monument and is approached through a horizontal passage to the east of southern stair. The arched openings of the platform contain many miscellaneous tombs.
The main tomb is octagonal on plan and rises into two storeys, at the four diagonal corners of the octagon are four chambers, which also houses many tombs of the family members of Humayun. The octagonal tomb is surmounted by a double dome supported by squinches. The employment of double dome in a mausoleum is first seen here and this gives the builder the advantage of building an imposing structure of enormous height, tactfully concealing the presence of double domes on the outside. While the exterior height gives an imposing look, the low ceiling of the lower dome gives a proportionate height of the interior features. The pattern of constructing double domes was already prevalent in West Asia during this period which was first introduced in the Humayun’s tomb.
The dome of this mausoleum is also a complete one, in the sense that it makes a full circle when completed on the other side too. The outline of the dome represents a complete semi-circle and thus a distinct variation from the earlier varieties of the dome architecture. The main mausoleum, as mentioned above, rises in two storeys and could be viewed in three stages. The lower one consists of eight arched openings of the octagon, above which is a balconied arch openings, over which is the intrados of the inner dome, decorated with red sandstone grilles. The interior face of the main tomb is also relived with different kinds of stone and the white marble as the bordering inlay decorative patterns. The red sandstone jail decorations could be seen at the mid arched openings placed at its lower level.
The extrados of the mausoleum is veneered with white marble stones in contrast to the largely red sandstone building. The dome is bulbous in shape; the skyline is relieved with small pavilions on the four corners along side the main dome.
The Humayun’s Tomb is also famously associated with the tragic capture of the last of the Mughal Emperors, Bahadur Shah Zafar, along with the three princes Mirza Mughal, Mirza Khizar Sultan and Mirza Abu Bakr by Lieutenant Hodson in 1857. The Mughal Emperor along with the princes was captured by Hodson on 22 September, 1857.
Me and my friend was sitting at a place after clicking some photos. Then suddenly this little boy came up to us and asked in Bengali "Pach taka deo" i.e. "Give me 5rs". We were surprised at this type begging, mentioning us directly the amount he wanted from us. Then my friend tried to convince him by telling him that he can't give him 5rs, but can click him and help making a print out of the photo at the newspaper the next day. But he was not happy with his answer and kept on asking again and again "Pach taka deo". And I clicked him during their conversation.
Tried with this type of close cropping for the first time.
A five rupee coin... Looks unsharp etc but thats the coin, in less than a year its already beaten-up lookin!
Isn't it weird how such simple things eventually mean so damn much?

Bangles, bangles, bright and shiny. Who doesn't like bangles! No tour of India, photo or physical (or gift-wise) would be complete without a stop in the rainbow glitter world of the bangle shop. From basic ones for less than a rupee to golden and bejeweled wedding pieces, from eye-blinding to slightly less eye-blinding and all ready to jangle and accessorize.
I met Sonu the previous evening when I'd agreed to go with a different boatman for a few rupees less. After the ride, he tried to lecture me on choosing the wrong guy--and I had, that guy was terrible, but it also seemed like they were friends since they'd been playing a card game moments before. We traded a few sarcastic remarks that ended up cracking both of us up, leading to his offer for chai, and soon convincing me to join him for another ride in the morning. I found another Taiwanese couple to join me, both to prevent annoyance (the previous evening's boatman kept hitting on me) and to save a bit of money. But they only wanted to go around for an hour, and Sonu was happy to keep me alone on the boat for an extra two hours.
He bought more chai, and breakfast afterwards, and regaled me with stories about his life. It's worth taking two rides on the Ganges no matter what because you can see the ghat activity at different times of day, but with good luck you can also have great conversation with a new friend.

Poem:
Sonnet - Money
Let money be thy servant, not Master;
So, put thy wealth in use for mankind's sake;
Let progress come for fellowmen, faster;
What profits come if genuine, thou may take.
The money-needs of life on earth are small;
Money begets money and vices too;
But money cannot solve our problems all;
Let money not cause mis- conduct in you.
What use is money kept as coins and notes?
Banks lend their money so that they may grow;
Money cannot purchase all honest votes;
For money's sake, hardships, we undergo.
How many pairs of shoes, your feet will need?
Let excess money try to others feed.
( Dr John Celes )
learn from it... AND HELP OTHERS... cuz they need it.. more than you!
