This gives a good preview of a traditional art form in Kerala - Theyyam.
Its not just the visualization that makes it unique..Superb narration, background music ..All in all, a wonderful video if u know malayalam..This took me back to those wonderful school days when I really liked those malayalam poems/verses.

Some people just refuse to change Link1 :- 5 HIV+ students shown door from a school . When will people change ? I feel very bad reading this report.. The stigma associated with HIV casting its shadow upon kids less than 11 years old.. And that too the ostracization coming from educated people from a state supposed to be among the most literate ones in India... Link 2:- Guruvayoor Purification You can play the devotional songs of Yesudas in a temple.. but you cannot allow him inside the temple.. If a child's grand-mother happens to be a Christian, the temple should be purified after the Child's entry to the temple...These are some of the 'rules' @ Guruvayoor. Disgusting to hear such news really.. Though I'm no communist in a classical sense, I'm a great admirer of A.K Gopalan and K . Kelappan for their struggle to throw open the temple gates to people...

The very name of Tashkent resonates with mysteries and conspiracy theories for India, connected with our erstwhile Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's death.  The city had a bit of an obscure feeling as we landed on a Saturday early morning.

As we stepped off the high-speed Afrosiyob train from Tashkent , our guide greeted us in Samarkand an—a city as ancient as Rome, once a vital crossroads on the Silk Road, and a true melting pot of civilizations. This is Samarkand: enigmatic, storied, and endlessly fascinating. We checked in to our hotel, Hotel Samaria Resorts & Spa, near Registan Square Silk Road Trade Routes converging @Sogdiana / Samarkand The Silk Road’s Heart: Sogdiana and Samarkand The Silk Road conjures images of caravans winding through mountains and deserts, and Samarkand—once known as Sogdiana—was where many of these routes converged. I expected a city as bustling as Alexandria , but Samarkand surprised me with its neatness, spaciousness, and welcoming atmosphere. The influence of Soviet rule is still visible in the city’s broad avenues and enduring infrastructure. Many medical and technical institutes from Soviet times continue to thrive, and during our stay, we dined at a restaurant run by Indian studen...
