| 19th August 2009 Leslie Xavier | The old house in Kochi - From: 9) Kochi, the European city Hi Stephan and Klaudia, My name's is Leslie and I came across your blog quite accidentally. But the picture of the "old house" in this entry captured my imagination. It was my school, my ninth grade class to be exact. And here's a reply to your blog entry, a poem nothing else.. :-) And reading your blog, I get a feeling you guys missed a lot of things in Kochi, perhaps because you would have stuck to the guide books and what the hoteliers say. I grew up there and though am living in Chennai on the east coast now, my heart is still in Kochi. But she is losing her charm... just because she is losing her people, replaced by hotels and businesses. Anyway do chek the poem and comment and hope next time you come to Kochi we can meet and maybe talk about it. regards, Leslie Xavier.

| 6th May 2008 Sucheta Ghosh | Beautiful Write up - From: 36) Khajuraho - it's not all about sex Hi. I am sucheta. Though I live very colse to khajuraho but this was the first time i got a chance to visit the place. Of course we went at the wrong time (in summer) But its the most beautiful place and your blog has described it very accurately. I just want to add that you did not mention about the two water falls very close to khajuraho. One of them is called Pandav Falls. Its the most serene and tranquil beauty I've seen till now. Of course not a seen that many places till now. But still I loved it. I could hear my inner voice in that place because it was so peaceful and calm. You take care and enjoy Life and all the places you keep visiting. Sucheta |

| 18th March 2008 Ashar | Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. - From: 36) Khajuraho - it's not all about sex No religion teaches other than humanity, only different human beings interpret things differently. One whoz tyrant get burried in the soil of time and the one who learns the morals of humanity is remembered through the golden pages of history. One who can think different & ahead of time is only the real human of his time. "History teaches us nothing, but to learn from the mistakes that our Ancestors has made so that we should not repeat them and to build upon the base of their creative thoughts". India is a country of diversity and unanimity, so lets give this strong message to the world as well. |
| 13th March 2008 Dasanudas | the demon Aurangezeb - From: 36) Khajuraho - it's not all about sex Yes. People need to understand about the cycles of reaction, and they need to understand that these things happened not as isolated instances, but over the course of about 500 years. Today India is constantly in danger of terrorist attacks but some people are more inclined to immediately point out how undesirable to the hindu nationalist organisations are, not understanding that after so many centuries of mohameddan aggression, there is bound to be some reaction like this. The beneficient ruler Akbar patronised academia and philosophy and contributed to the building of great temples. Then his son Aurangezeb came to power (in the process having his brothers head taken to his imprisoned father) and caused many temples and deities to be destroyed. |
| 27th February 2008 Anurag | Pseudosecularism-Media propagada - From: 36) Khajuraho - it's not all about sex I can`t understand why the people can`t accept reality.The Muslim Rulers(plunderers) like Nadir shah,Timur Shah,Aurangzeb and many others tried their best to eliminate hinduism.They destroyed temples,defaced the beautiful idols,burnt massive libraries of Nalanda and built mosques in place of temple.The history has enough proof. Its not about RSS or politics,its about accepting the truth.Its the pseudosecularist media who always are against hinduism in name secularism. |
| 28th January 2008 Dr Ch Subrahmanyam | Rickshaw over-priced - From: 36) Khajuraho - it's not all about sex I read with amusement that the person who is pulling rickshaw is over pricing!!! His status is the lowest in economic sense and what he takes with the over priced amount does not make him report qtr/qtr a profit percent like the Air carrier you would have travelled or the Hotels you would have used. I think, when they ask more than what is considered over price, is because, he is never appreciated. He never could become anything bigger than what he began his life as Rickshaw puller. Best Regards |

| 10th December 2007 ashok | Finding Facts - From: 36) Khajuraho - it's not all about sex Dear friend I visited Khajuraho in 1981 along with my wife and other family members and had a chance to see each and every creation very minutely - I am very fond of sketching and have done farely well I understand how difficult it is to put live expressions into any sketch on a piece of paper and that too just two dimension figure I can well imagine how much acuracy concentration of mind and steady hands with clarity in imagination is required for a man to be able to achieve this perfaction - The questions that comein my mind time and again who was the person who gave instruction to these artists what did he have in his mind at that time and what he wanted to show the world ? can you throw some light on this please thanks rgds ashok |
