Some cows in Medelin, Colombia......by K J S Chatrath

Image
I visited Medelin in Colombia a few years back. This town had hosted a Cow Parade public art event where local artists decorated life-sized, fiberglass cow statues. The cows were displayed across the city, including InterContinental Medellín . They serve as colorful canvases for the region's creativity rather than being permanent city fixtures

Punjab has begun a phased rollout of its menstrual health curriculum for girls in government schools across all 23 districts. Backed by teacher training and pilot feedback, the programme seeks to normalise period conversations in classrooms.  https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/punjab-launches-special-menstrual-health-curriculum-for-female-schoolgoers/  This is a laudable initiative and it is hoped that other states would also think on these lines 

Buy California almonds? No Sir...................declares K J S Chatrath

I am stung to see two full page ads in English newspapers exhorting us to buy 'California Almonds'...... I would rather buy our own home grown Kashmiri almonds to help our Indian farmers than to buy 'California Almonds' imported from USA- a country that tries to humiliate India by slapping huge tariffs on Indian exports to USA.  

Scenes from Antigua, Guatemala...............by K J S Chatrath

Image
I visited Antigua, Guatemala in 2018. It is a small city surrounded by volcanoes in southern Guatemala. It’s renowned for its Spanish colonial buildings, many of them restored following a 1773 earthquake that ended Antigua’s 200-year reign as Guatemala’s colonial capital. Notable architectural examples include baroque La Merced church. It’s an integral part of the city’s famous Semana Santa, a holy week with parades and rituals.
