A road-side tea stall in Calcutta. The owner (the man on the right) is retired now; the shop now is run by his son. On this day, the son took the day off and took his family for a short tour of some places nearby and the dad took over. His mother can also be seen. The man on the left would come for a cup of tea every morning before going for his bath wrapping himself only with a towel and every morning means every morning. I had tea many times here while visiting Calcutta in the past and also during the latest visit in December, 2015.

A bottle of Three Philosophers 2007 from Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York.
This 9,8% abv brew is a blend of 98% domestic ale and 2% cherry-lambic, making this a Belgian Style Blend of Quadrupel strength!
The beer poured a deep red-brown color with a small beige head. Aroma was fruity, with those cherries taking the lead but with an underlying sweetness. Mouthfeel was sharp in the first instant, from the acidic cherries, but very quickly caramel sweetness balanced the sourness and then the roasted bitter flavors kicked in. Wow, complex! A nice, long aftertaste where sour notes linger - washing out the almost caramel sticky sweetness from my mouth. A world class beer.

The philosopher's Walk is a cherry tree lined 1.8km stroll path between the Nyakouji Bridge and theGinkakuji Bridge.
The path is renowned as a favorite route for the famous Kyoto University philosophy professor, Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), who used to take a stroll along this route to meditate.
It is said tht the path derives its name from Philosophenweg in Heidelberg, Germany, and that aKyoto Universty Professor, Iwao Kokusho who studied in Germany and later became the first president of Osaka University of Economics, named the path the Philosophers Walk in the early Showa Era.
The Philospher's Walk was once called the Philosopher's lane. After Kyoto City developed the path as a promenade in 1970, tourists began to visit there and the name 'the Phipspher's Walk' became established.

Inside the front of the book it had a really cool quote from JK.
When we went to Toronto over Labor Day weekend in 2006 we stopped at a bookstore and I got a copy of the Canadian version of book one.

High Laver was a church which I had visited once before but the pictures did not come out to my satisfaction. It is the burial place of philosopher John Locke and I wanted to get it right. On a strange day of hail storms alternating with bright sunlight I found it again by chance, on my way to Matching.

The parish church of All Saints, High Laver, Essex, consists of nave, chancel, west tower, south porch and north vestry. The walls are flint rubble roughly coursed, particularly in the chancel. Some Roman brick is visible among the rubble and forms some of the quoins.
The nave was built late in the 12th century. It retains one small round-headed window in the north wall. West of this is an original doorway, partly restored, which now leads to the vestry. The chancel, probably built about 1200, has seven lancets with pointed heads. There are two in each of the north and south walls and three graduated lancets at the east end; all are much restored. Two doorways, one in the north wall of the chancel and one in the south wall of the nave, are probably of the 13th century. The former is now blocked but the arch in clunch is visible externally. The piscina, which has a trefoiled head and a double drain, may be of the 13th century. There are fragments of 13th or 14th century glass in the small nave window.
The tower, of three stages, appears to have been added about 1340. It was originally of flint rubble but this is now mostly plastered and much of the tower has been rebuilt in brick. The moulded tower arch is sharply pointed. In the west wall, but not axial with the arch, is a good 14th-century window with a pointed arch and two ogee-headed lights. There is a blocked window in the second stage of the tower on the north side. The chancel arch was probably rebuilt in the 14th century. The responds and head are finely moulded. Late in the 14th or early in the 15th century four new windows were inserted in the nave and one in the chancel. In the 15th or 16th century the roofs of the chancel and nave, which are ceiled in except for the plates and tie-beams, were renewed.
In 1737 the vestry agreed that the tower should be repaired and that 'one Tarling should undertake it by the day and put up a brick buttress and restore the plaistering where it is necessary, the parish finding all materials'. The south-west buttresses may have been rebuilt in brick at this time as a result of this decision. In about 1789 the spire and part of the tower were found to be ruinous and were taken down. The upper stage of the tower, and probably the south-west buttresses, were rebuilt in red brick for some £200.
A general restoration of the church possibly took place in 1865 when the font and tomb of John Locke were repaired. The south porch and the vestry appear to date from this period. The porch, which is of flint with a timber superstructure, replaced a plastered porch of unknown date.
In 1873 an organ was built in the chancel. In 1927 the chancel was altered and the organ moved to the west end. The alterations cost £127 of which £43 was contributed by the Rhode Island Society of America. The font dates from the middle of the 14th century. It has an octagonal bowl on each face of which is a quatrefoil panel enclosing a shield. There is one bell in use and a small disused sanctus bell. The sanctus bell is inscribed 'XPE AUDI NOS'. It is probably 14th century and one of the few remaining medieval sanctus bells in Essex.
In the chancel is a brass to Myrabyll (Mirabel), wife of Edward Sulyard (c. 1495). There are figures of a man in 15th-century armour and a woman in a fullskirted gown and a pedimented head-dress. Below are figures of four sons and one daughter and a rhymed inscription. There are floor slabs in the chancel to Sir Francis Masham (1723) and his granddaughter Elizabeth Masham (1724). On the north wall is a marble tablet to Damaris, widow of Ralph Cudworth, Master of Christ's College, Cambridge. The epitaph is thought to have been composed by John Locke. Also in the chancel are tablets to Samuel Lowe (1709), Richard Budworth (1805), and Philip Budworth (1861), rectors.
Outside the south wall of the nave is the brick altar tomb of John Locke (1704). A mural tablet, originally above the tomb, was moved inside the church for preservation in 1932, the tercentenary of Locke's birth. Outside the church near the east end there are many other altar tombs, of the Budworth, Cleeve, Velley, and Masham families.

'In loving memory of my husband John A Rimmer, artist & philosopher, born 21st June 1888, died 15th January 1968.
"We shall not see his like again."
And of his dear wife Dorothy I Rimmer, Actress, 1900-1975.
"Not the end of the play, just the end of the act."'
John Rimmer was a renowned Sudbury eccentric and local character. The Sudbury museum website notes that he was often seen on his bicycle around Sudbury and many local people possess his sketches and paintings. He had a collection of fossils and curios which he displayed above Wardman's shop on Market Hill.
You can see his photograph here.

Confucius (孔子; pinyin: Kǒngzǐ; lit. 'Master Kong'; c. 551 – c. 479 BCE), born Kong Qiu (孔丘), was a Chinese philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period who is traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages. Much of the shared cultural heritage of the Sinosphere originates in the philosophy and teachings of Confucius. His philosophical teachings, called Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, harmonious social relationships, righteousness, kindness, sincerity, and a ruler's responsibilities to lead by virtue.
Confucius considered himself a transmitter for the values of earlier periods which he claimed had been abandoned in his time. He advocated for filial piety, endorsing strong family loyalty, ancestor veneration, the respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives. Confucius recommended a robust family unit as the cornerstone for an ideal government. He championed the Silver Rule, or a negative form of the Golden Rule, advising, "Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself."
The time of Confucius's life saw a rich diversity of thought, and was a formative period in China's intellectual history. His ideas gained in prominence during the Warring States period, but experienced setback immediately following the Qin conquest. Under Emperor Wu of Han, Confucius's ideas received official sanction, with affiliated works becoming mandatory readings for career paths leading to officialdom. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Confucianism developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later as New Confucianism. From ancient dynasties to the modern era, Confucianism has integrated into the Chinese social fabric and way of life.
Traditionally, Confucius is credited with having authored or edited many of the ancient texts including all of the Five Classics. However, modern scholars exercise caution in attributing specific assertions to Confucius himself, for at least some of the texts and philosophy associated with him were of a more ancient origin. Aphorisms concerning his teachings were compiled in the Analects, but not until many years after his death.
In the Analects, Confucius presents himself as a "transmitter who invented nothing". He puts the greatest emphasis on the importance of study, and it is the Chinese character for study (學) that opens the text. Far from trying to build a systematic or formalist theory, he wanted his disciples to master and internalize older classics, so that they can capture the ancient wisdoms that promotes "harmony and order", to aid their self-cultivation to become a perfect man. For example, the Annals would allow them to relate the moral problems of the present to past political events; the Book of Odes reflects the "mood and concerns" of the commoners and their view on government; while the Book of Changes encompasses the key theory and practice of divination.
Although some Chinese people follow Confucianism in a religious manner, many argue that its values are secular and that it is less a religion than a secular morality. Proponents of religious Confucianism argue that despite the secular nature of Confucianism's teachings, it is based on a worldview that is religious. Confucius was considered more of a humanist than a spiritualist, his discussions on afterlife and views concerning Heaven remained indeterminate, and he is largely unconcerned with spiritual matters often considered essential to religious thought, such as the nature of souls.

সুফি চাচা, আবহমান বাংলার মুখ!
সুফি চাচার সঙ্গে আমার দেখা হয়েছিল, কুমিল্লার একটি গ্রামে। চায়ের দোকানে বসে মাঝে মাঝে চা-খান আর নিজের দর্শন ও জীবন ভাবনা অন্যকে বলতে ভালোবাসেন। তার কথা প্রচলিত ভাবনা, প্রথা বিরোধী, সরল ও হাস্যরসে ভরা। কিন্তু কারো সঙ্গে তার ঝগড়া হয় না, সবাই সৎমানুষ হিসাবে ভালোবাসেন!
চা খেতে খেতে আমি যখন জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম
- আপনি সবকিছু ভিন্নভাবে দেখেন, ভিন্নভাবে ভাবেন, আপনার তো অনেক শত্রু।
তিনি বললেন
- আমার কথা শুনে শত্রু যেমন বাড়ে, বন্ধুও তো বাড়ে! এগুলা নিয়া আমি ভাবি না! যারা জীবন নিয়ে ভাবে না, তারা তো জীবনকে ভোগ করতে পারে না।..
আমি সুফিবাদ ও দর্শন পছন্দ করি শুনে, উনি খুশীতে আত্নহারা । আমাকে আরেকটা চা না খাইয়ে ছাড়লেনই না। দ্বিতীয় চা পানের সময় কিছুক্ষন নীরব থাকার পর - আমাকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, - বাজান, জীবন সম্পর্কে আপনার ভাবনা কি। আমি স্মীত হেসে বললাম, আপনি বলেন! চোখ বলছে, আমি আপনার সঙ্গে একমত হবো!
তিনি একটানা বললেন,
- জীবন একটি আনন্দযাত্রা! এর কোন উদ্দেশ্য নেই! যারা উপভোগ করে তাদের জন্য স্বর্গ, যারা উপভোগ করে না তাদের জন্য নরক! জীবনভোগ করার একমাত্র উপায়, নিজেকে ভালোবাসা ও অন্যকে ভালোবাসা! নিঃস্বার্থ হাওয়া! অন্যকোন পথ নেই! যারা এজগতে স্বর্গসুখ ভোগ করে না, তারা মৃত্যুর পরও স্বর্গসুখ উপভোগ করতে পারবে না! যদি সবার জন্য স্বর্গ নিধারিত! কারণ পরজগত, ভালোবাসার জগত! যার ভালোবাসসার অভিজ্ঞতা নাই সে কি ভালোবাসা বুঝে? ইহজগত আর পরজগত একই, সমরূপ! একটা দৃশ্যমান, অন্যটা অদৃশ্য...
আমি চাচার কথা শুনে হতবাক হয়ে গেলাম । জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম
- আপনি, এত সুন্দর কথা কোথায় শিখেছেন?
- কোথায় শিখবো? মানুষের কাছ থেকে শুনে শুনে, ভেবে-চিন্তে বের করেছি!
উনার লেখাপড়ার কথা জিজ্ঞাসা করতেই বললেন
- আমাগো সময় কি লেখাপড়া আছিলোনি বাজান! আমি স্কুলে যাই নাই, কিন্তু আমার পুলা-মাইয়ারা গেছে। সবাই শিক্ষিত, চাকুরী করে...
