Siberian Stonechat, a bird that weighs less than 15 grams flies nearly 3000 miles to India, from Siberia during Winter, only to escape the extreme weather conditions back in its home, and flies back in March.

Once upon a time, these lands were also home to the legendary Caspian tiger, which is now extinct.

He spent two decades making stadium stand up. Now he’s doing it without touching a ball.
#psbb where did we go ? 🤔
My son’s school (National Public School) is taking them on a tour to Malaysia 🇲🇾. They are staying at Marriot and exploring KL and Langkawi. It’s good to see that travel is being normalised at a school level in the current generation.
My school ( Vidya Mandir Adayar) took us in summer holidays to Himalayan treks and it opened me up to speaking with people and understanding places and customs.
Travelling by second class sleeper, staying at temporary lodges in Delhi, Mandi and tents in Bara Bangal range (Manali Area). I think we stayed overnight in tents and mostly did night travel by trains/buses. It opened up the love for places and travel for me. Nothing was more therapeutic than putting my face on the window seat grill and staring at places pass by on the Tamil Nadu express.
I have tried taking my son on quite a few trips. I am curious to see how he adjusts to a trip with a larger group of a similar age group.

William Dalrymple has recently shown himself to be a giant of moral integrity and intellectual courage—unlike the many weaker intellects who shill for a (dying) establishment.

Since you ask, there were generations of Dalrymples in India from Stair Dalrymple, who died in the Black Hole in 1757, to my father who was in the army at Partiton in 1947. My great great uncle James deciphered the Kharosthi and Brahmi scripts of ancient India and translated the Ashoka Pillars.
(And if you'd ever like to take your boys onto the Bass just let me know...)
