Living on the tree; a bird? No, Indian Tree Frog!



Every year I receive a leaping visitor. It alerts us about its visit by scaring us with its repeated landing-on-sounds! This brownish yellow animal is found often in moist bathroom buckets or clinging on to one of ceiling corners. On seeing me approach, it jumps, climbs on slippery walls and falls down; hastens to hide itself by cuddling in a corner. This visitor is our Tree Frog (Common Indian Tree Frog, Chunam Tree Frog, Polypedates maculatus).

Jantar Mantar and the Stone Henges


At Jantar Mantar in Jaipur of India, astronomical structures were built in the early 18th century to verify Astronomical observations and to stimulate interest in Astronomy. They stand like Stone Henges. But before 2000 BC, Druids had used the Stone Henges built with their astronomical knowledge, to harness the power of Sun! That is the WONDER in it!
