Marblehead Posted March 23, 2014 Interesting that just recently while watching a documentary on TV there was included information on a town (I forget which country but a predominantly Buddhist culture) where the rats were considered sacred and they run at free will throughout the entire town and the people have set up a feeding station where individuals will bring food and present it to them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrandmasterP Posted March 25, 2014 Ketchup was extra. Five years in South India October/ November to the monsoon plus lots of travelling to outstations in various states. Fabulous time. We were looking at the effects of industrialisation on water tables. Beyond a certain industrial or touristic infrastructure hand dug wells tend to dry up. The tube well project was one of the outcomes. That's still going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
