Post script. Continuing with the earlier blog…what we study about history is not about common people. Assume that blogging existed thousands years back, we would know so many things about people, rather than read about wars and nonsense about rulers and invader-psychopaths. We could read about a dude giving his view on whether Gupta period was really golden age, another will be writing about Britishers and the freedom struggle from his perspective. It would have been amazing. Blogging is beginning of history in many ways, it is an epoch. History is no longer the perspective of few people. It has become vibrant. Centuries from now probably history will be seen in terms pre-blogging and post blogging era. It is a far fetched thought but cannot be ruled out entirely. The world is going through an amazing time.

Nothing incredible about this !!!
This is a scene from Marwar Junction in Rajasthan. Quite a common sight here but for westerners this is incredible India !!. Not finding animals on the street of Europe and USA also makes these places incredible for Indians!!!. Wonder what animals think about it?!!. Anyway animals do have a freak out time in Rajasthan. Some years back in Jaiselmer I came across a man with a cart collecting left over food for animals. In a park I came across a woman feeding powered sugar to ants!!.
