Brilliant thought Venkatesh. The bit about the Australian lawyer is hillarious. However, it gets me wondering, the potters wheel was used to make pots. How did mankind make earthen pots before the advent of the wheel? The Egyptians who built the pyr…

Folks, With the right communications, I am sure the Indian Ministry of Defence can lend a hand from the Naval forces for some more excavations:)

Books on Chola history!
Thanks Sridhar, I realised this a tad later, apparently the LTTE is retaining the Cholas tiger icon. Any idea why Narasimha Varmar I changed the nandi icon to that of a lion? Do we got these old flag icons anyplace on the internet?

Walking time! (Alwarkadiyaan Nambi)
Hi Anand, Walking time calculations are interesting. Also I wonder what kind of food these folks ate to maintain that super stamina of walking for 6-10 hours. My grand dad used to speak of walking some 50 km in a day's time. This was humid an…
