The Voyager Golden Records contain sounds and images selected to portray life on Earth and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life forms who may find them aboard the Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. Queen Mary I of England violently persecuted Protestants, leading to three Protestant noblemen being convicted of plotting against her and executed. This event led to the origin of the common nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice." Idli originated from a dish made of fermented urad dal around 920 AD in India. Over time, rice was added to help speed the fermentation process, but the preparation process and name remained the same.

The first mention of it in writings occurs ca. 920 A.D., and it seems to have started
as a dish made only of fermented urad dal. One description ca. 1025 says the lentils
were first soaked in buttermilk, and after grinding, seasoned with pepper, coriander,
cumin and asafoetida. There is no known record of rice being added until some time
in the 17th century. It may have been found that the rice helped speed the
fermentation process. Although this dish has changed in ingredients, the
preparation process and the name remained the same. What??

dashing cricketer" who "evinced a keen interest in the
game as a school student". He was, it seems, "good
both at batting and bowling", and had an uncanny
understanding of the game's uncertainties . In 1923,
he was partially responsible for P Vithal to be made
captain of the Hindus. When Vijay Merchant's sister

her book containing the signatures of the 1933-34
