On the Nile?
Mmm…mm – unlike Arun, who is in it…

Still, if you look from the riverbank you’ll see a whole bunch of Sangskri-Chanting Felluccas ahead…and a large boat filled with home-made cake – or the ‘Mother of all Felluccas’ …with Arun on the poop deck.

The one about the Ganges as far as I can see is next Sunday, the 12th October.

Thanks, SD.
I think the programmes starts next Sunday, the 12th October, and the first one is about the Ganges.

Thanks, Alok for the comment. Point conceded.
Let’s hope that the Janata party are better at keeping election promises than governing parties here in the UK!

On Sundays, 9-10pm, starting tomorrow, UK’s BBC2 are showing a series, ‘Sacred Rivers’. If it’s anything like the previous travel series of the young presenter, Simon Reeve, it should be well worth watching.

From the manifesto
“Ganga: River Ganga is a symbol of faith in India, and has a special place in the Indian psyche. It is
Mukti dayini. In addition it is also Jivan dayini for the parts of the country it flows. People and cattle
depend on it for agriculture, fodder and drinking water. Pure water of the Ganga are thus essential for
the spiritual as well as physical well being of India.
Unfortunately however, even after decades of independence, the Ganga continues to be polluted and is
drying. BJP commits to ensure the cleanliness, purity and uninterrupted flow of the Ganga on priority.
In addition, a massive ‘Clean Rivers Programme’ will be launched across the country driven by
people’s participation.”

Yes, Arpana, I can relate to that – especially the sculpture being seen with another perspective.
Otherwise – also the other work of this sculptor, like with ´Bent Mind´ or ´Doppelgänger´(the pink cow)…shocking insights brought into ´form´.

By the way, did you know the American sculptor who did his pieces of art on the Ranch?
Like ´Basho’s Pond´? Or the big `Turtle`? He was such a good Friend and a Lover of This too –

Yes, that also was happening – IS happening.

Had a more than less horrible day outside, city-wise, and glad to be here again, at least with ´a door I can close´, though not as impenetrable as I would love it to be).
