If there's any like a classical breakfast it has to be the pancake. Especially on Sunday morning...
I was fortunate enough to get a Classical Alice Dal about two years ago, what an incredible girl! Her name is Lavender.
Mohiniattam-The dance of the enchantress
This Indian classical dance form – Mohiniattam – comes from one of the South states of India, Kerala. And the mere mention of Kerala brings up in one’s mind the wondrous and incomparable beauty of its landscape .The scenic backwaters where the palm fronds fill up the Kerala skyline moving gently and gracefully in the breeze, the boats bobbing up and down gently, gracefully and in perfect tune with nature and its rhythm .
Pentelic marble
Greek, Late Classical period, 377/6-376/5 BCE
From Athens (see on Pleiades), Acropolis, found west of the Erechtheion in 1858.
The relief represents a bearded man seated on a rock, perhaps Erechtheus. The accounts can be dated by the mention of the Eponymous Archon of 377/6 BCE, Kalleas. (Because the ancient Athenian year did not coincide with the modern Gregorian calendar, the archonship of Kalleas began in 377 and concluded in 376, hence the date format.)

German botanist Kurt Sprengel dedicated the name of this genus to the Italian botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi. This Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) is prized for its beauty, yet it is a poisonous plant. Another instance of natures mysteries.

Lignum vitae is an especially heavy, hard wood. The sculpture was carved with the aid of a summer grant from the Society of the Alumni.

"Dance is such a complete line with visuals, poetry, drama, music…you use your whole body to communicate all of this" says Priyadarsini Govind.
A graduate in commerce from the University of Madras, Chennai, Priyadarsini holds a diploma in Mass Communication, but Bharatanatyam has been her first love ever since she was six.
After initial grooming under Smt. Usha, Priyadarsini specialized in abhinaya under 'Padma Bhushan' Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan from the age of nine. Priyadarsini received advanced training in Bharatanatyam under Guru Swamimalai K. Rajaratnam, exponent of the Vazhvoor School from the age of ten. Priyadarsini imbibes the best of both her teachers.
Located across the road from London's Euston Station, I've been past this Grecian inspired church so many times without going inside, so today I made a point of changing that rule!
St Pancras New Church (so entitled to differentiate it from an older building that remains several blocks away to the north east) was built in 1819-22 to the designs of William & Henry Inwood and is a remarkable example of the then prevalent taste for Neo-Classical architecture. Few churches can claim to be as Grecian in style as this one, which boasts the unique features of two porticoes flanking the east end copied directly from the famous caryatid porch of the Erectheum on the Athenian Acropolis, complete with column figures in terracotta (molded in sections around cast-iron columns). The spindly octagonal tower is a major landmark to visitors arriving at nearby Euston Station just over the main road (as it has welcomed me on many visits to the capital).
The interior of the church continues the theme of Classical severity, with a broad flat coffered ceiling spanning the nave with the apse beyond adding a touch of enrichment. The Victorian glass in the windows does make the space a little gloomier than it could be. The galleries remain and create side aisles beneath them but otherwise the interior retains the impression of a large unified space.
I am unsure what normal opening times are for this church but I believe it is usually open in office hours during the day.
