Maybe it is just because the curved tank allows conversations to be heard from the back of the room. But I think I have noticed that when young families come into an Aquarium they start talking to themselves. Maybe it is the strangeness of the life forms, but they start talking about all kinds of things, sometimes even the fish.

The sea speaks, regurgitates her
past, the curve of an oaken spar,
bitten by sea-ants, weathering
like the tongue of a boot, recklessly
flung by waves, beating seaweed
on a sandlocked beach, where the sun
pours contempt, from its barrels of heat.
Caulking those voices, screaming from
the bowels of the sea, to be heard
from their sargasso bed; not browning
with almond leaves after five hundred
years, mocking the tides as she speaks.
A diver skims the blue, paddling
with dolphin ease. A shark measures
his rhythm then departs. Whirlpools,
opaque metacarpals of the deep,
swirl, enveloping his dark feet.
Five hundred years, flesh grinding flesh
in its mill, rooted to bowels
alive in Earth, chewing their bits
spat from the top of mountaintops.
Drizzling their ash on valleys green
with a feverish melody,
strummed by wind and rain on box
guitars from the hills, when evenings
call for the brown bark acajou,
chiselled to shape the Cibonae's
hermetic shape.
Love is the fever, burnishing
the wood: Heaven is a gap through
the teeth of leaves. When the wind blows,
the curve of a woman, smoothen
by riverstones, excites a brave.
Her body's musk, like corn wine,
soothes the swelling around his lips.
Five hundred years, buried in shale;
horse dung, fossilized. The carrion
of an age nurses the navel
of vines, where the iguana breeds.
Great names, the verdigris of cities,
are buried here: Tolum; Tikal;
Palenque; Cozumel; Mayapan.
Wrapped in their jaguar shields, star shells,
their rulers rest, waiting their "tzab"
to dawn, bring resurrection...

Hussain Sagar (Telugu: హుస్సేన్ సాగర్) (Urdu: حسين ساغر) is a lake in Hyderabad, India, built by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. It was a lake of 24 square kilometres built on a tributary of the River Musi to meet the water and irrigation needs of the city. There is a large monolithic statue of the Gautam Buddha in the middle of the lake which was erected in 1992. In the end of the Hussain Sagar one can find the Masjid and Dargah of Sayed Maa.
Built in the 16th century the lake was named to express the gratitude of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah to Hussain Shah Wali who helped him to recover from illness. It is a sprawling artificial lake that holds water perennially, built during the reign of Ibrahim Qutub Shah, across a tributary of the river Musi in 1562. Linking the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the lake and its environs have several parks and scenic spots. The broad road on the tank bund is lined with lawns. The well laid out Lumbini park located in the Buddha Purnima project has a musical fountain.
An 18-meter high monolithic statue of Lord Buddha towers over the lake from atop the Rock of Gibraltar. The idea of erecting a giant monolith Buddha statue in the midst of Hussain Sagar lake on the Gibraltar rock was a part of the Buddha Poornima project in 1985. The statue was chiseled out of a white granite rock, weighting 450 tons. It was carved by 200 sculptors for two years. The statue was transported to Hyderabad in November 1988. After initial problems, the statue was erected on 12 April 1992 on a red lotus pedestal. Attached to it, Lumbini park was inaugurated with musical fountains, bonsai plants and a boat ride from Lumbini Park to the statue. The whole atmosphere reflects peace and perseverance.

Gautama Buddha or Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम बुद्ध; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from the Indian subcontinent, on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. The word Buddha is a title for the first awakened being in an era. In most Buddhist traditions, Siddhartha Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." Gautama Buddha may also be referred to as Śākyamuni (Sanskrit: शाक्यमुनि "Sage of the Śākyas"). The Buddha found a Middle Way that ameliorated the extreme asceticism found in the Sramana religions.
The time of Gautama's birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but more recent opinion dates his death to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE. UNESCO lists Lumbini, Nepal, as a world heritage site and birthplace of Gautama Buddha. There are also claims about birth place of Gautama Buddha to be Kapileswara, Orissa or Kapilavastu at Piprahwa, Uttar Pradesh He later taught throughout regions of eastern India such as Magadha and Kośala.
Gautama is the primary figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Various collections of teachings attributed to him were passed down by oral tradition, and first committed to writing about 400 years later.
