A
SHORT AFFAIR
Bermuda,
at the centre of many an exotic legend, is not the scary place it is
made out to be. Instead, with its picture-perfect islands, it is a
tourists’ paradise, discovers Mohinder
Singh. Fascinating
life of the Indian grey hornbill
Baljit Singh
When
it is time to lay the
first egg, the female hornbill enters the chosen nest-cavity and does
not step out into daylight again, for as much as 75 days later. This
is one of the most fascinating marvels of evolution, which provides
the Indian Grey hornbill a fair chance both against predation and for
successful annual procreation of its species.
Raw
beauty of Bastar
Life in the tribal area of
Bastar in Chhattisgarh takes us back to our roots. Malabika
Sen writes about her unique experience
The
travel bug that bites us ever so often,
prompted us this time to pick up the railway time table to decide our
destination. So from Vishakapatnam (Vizag), we hopped on to the slow
train to Kirandul a track not often circuited by regular
holidaymakers. Our final destination was Bastar district in
Chhattisgarh.
Stylishly
simple Nagesh
V. Gangadhar
‘They
got married and lived happily thereafter’. Or did they? The
hero in Nagesh Kukunoor’s surprise hit, Hyderabad Blues was
arrogant about his success in the US. The heroine, a local doctor, had
her own sense of nationalism and pride. They fell in love gradually,
squabbled often, but finally got married. Did the marriage work out?
