Scientific evidence indicates that since 1950, the worlds climate has been warming,

forests. Since the industrial revolution till this day, there is a constant emission of the carbon

If there is one custom that might be assumed to be beyond criticism it is the custom of
shaking hands; but it seems that even this innocent and amiable practice is upon its
trial. A heavy indictment has been directed against it in the Press on hygienic grounds,
and we are urged to adopt some more healthy mode of expressing our mutual emotion
when we meet or part. I think it would need a pretty stiff Act of Parliament and a heavy
code of penalties to break us out of so ingrained a habit. Of course, there are many
people in the world who go through life without shaking hands. Probably, most people
in the world manage to do so. The Japanese bows, the Indian salaams, and the
Chinese makes a grave motion of the hand, and the Arab touches the breast of his
friend at parting, with the tips of his fingers.

The small village of Somnathpur contains an extraordinary temple, built around 1268
A.D. by the Hoyasalas of Karnataka one of the most prolific temple builders. Belur and
Helebid are among their better-known works. While these suffered during the invasion
of the 14th century, the Somnathpur temple stands more or less intact in near-original
condition. The small temple captivates with the beauty and vitality of its detailed
sculpture, covering almost every inch of the walls, pillars and even ceilings. It has three
shikaras and stands on a star-shaped raised platform with 24 edges. The outer walls
have a profusion of detailed carvings: the entire surface run over by carved plaques of
stone. There were vertical panels covered by exquisite figures of God and Goddesses,
with many incarnations being depicted. There were nymphs too, some carrying an ear
of maize, a symbol of plenty and prosperity. The elaborate ornamentation, very
characteristic of Hoyasala sculptures was a remarkable feature. On closer look and it
is worth it the series of friezes on the outer walls revealed intricately carved
caparisoned elephants, charging horsemen, stylized flowers, warriors, musicians,
crocodiles and swans.
