rendition of this photo.This photo, once used by students in the historic 1968
protests in Paris, would go on to explode in popularity with a kind of pre-internet
virality, however, becoming increasingly distant from its original context. I’m sure

24. It is a religious order of the friars within the Catholic
Church, among the chief offshoots of the Franciscans.
The order arose in 1525 and is native to the Italian
region of Marche.
The popular name of their order originates from their
features of religious habit of wearing a beard and
adoption of the hood as a mark of respect towards
the Camaldolese monks.

their name with something that derives its name
from the fact that they have the same colour as that
of the monks clothes?
28. These trace their origin to the early 1800s and the Hanji community is
credited with their creation. Some specifically trace this phenomenon to

foreign tourists and is said to have come up with this idea after his shop
was burnt down. However, the famous British explorer, Sir Francis
Younghusband, is known to have credited one MT Kennard with this idea
between the years 1883 and 1888.

varaka and bhasma. Considered as an anti-microbial astringent, the alternate
version is claimed to be an aphrodisiac.This tradition is not unique to Indian
subcontinent as it also traces its origins to Europe, where later studies found
that they can indeed be anti-bacterial owing to the oligodynamic effect.
Concerns have been raised about the ethical acceptibility due to the usage of
Ox-gut, which led to the decline of its implementation among the Hindu and
Jain community. Indian Airlines avoided this practice with its automisation since
2016 by the GOI, that created employment issues.
What attractive tradition is this?

Burgundy, Claret and Riesling – one might encounter if not followed the
instructions carefully.

locals call haathiyan ka jhaad because it looks like a group of

Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony which was destroyed by the allied
forces in 1945.The church, though withstood two days of the attacks and supported the
evacuation of 300 people before finally collapsing on 15 Feb.
However, in 1989, a 14-member group of enthusiasts headed by Ludwig Guttler formed a
citizen’s initiative to promote the church’s reconstruction. Using original plans from
builder Georg Bahr in the 1720s, the council decided to proceed with reconstruction in
1992.
As far as possible, the church – except for its dome – was rebuilt using original material
and plans, with the help of modern technology.The heap of rubble was documented and
carried off stone by stone. But, when it came time to duplicate the oak doors of the
entrance, the builders had only vague descriptions of the detailed carving.

being the “Villa Rose”, which was transformed into a museum and
opened to the public in 2006.
Since, the line has been left to nature since its construction, it was
decided to make a hiking trail along their route. Owing to its
resemblance to dragon teeth, how do we better know it?
