Ptrikha_2 @JudyEv Yes, sometimes we can understand a language but cannot understand the cultural nuances and context. Recently, during an official discussion, something came out that seemed to show the cultural contextual differences among Indian and European...

While we were away, we visited Berinbooding Rock again. I wrote about it in 2019 and 2020 but hopefully, if you’re like me, you’ll have forgotten. The rock is a short distance from Beacon. The rock is huge and during 1937 at the...

Ptrikha_2 Quite a significant place. Sometimes it is difficult to imagine in this date and time, the kind of hardships many people faced in the early 1900s and before that. Also those born in the last 30 odd years would be even less aware. Those living in Tents would...

Ptrikha_2 @LadyDuck Sounds like a really great heritage place! I hear about a celebrity Indian film star on Radio talking about such special and heritage places, or may be we can call "offbeat"?

Ptrikha_2 @snowy22315 Indeed, I would love to visit a lot of heritage places and squares in Europe. Many of the old and new structures in India, especially after British colonial period are inspired by Arcs and other features of European architecture.

Ptrikha_2 Did you got some injury or something? I hope that your knee is better now. Looks like it is raining a lot in Montana. Is your Log afar from the nearest village, town or city area? Somehow the setting that you lay out here reminds me of some novel. Plus it is...
