I feel bad that I have not heard about it, leave alone seeing it. The media gives publicity only for monuments like Taj Mahal which was built by a king in memory of his fourth wife with funds which should have been spent on the welfare of the people. 2) K Ramasubramanian To Vathsala Jayaraman Madam Shri Babusenan's facile writing on Tamil literature covering the five unique landscape dealt with in Akam part cannot be appreciated than your message Regards RAMASUBRMANIAN C History Shakuntala Railways https://youtu.be/q70HW0dUaM0 https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/govt-to-take-over-shakuntala-only-private-railway-line-116102200809_1.html D A Calendar to remember** Shashwat Calendar (Attached) (A ShriShashwat Foundation Initiative) It is to present .... * The art of Adivasi children at Pankhanda village. * Drawn by 7 th and 8 th std TMC students. * It is their village life. * Through Warli art. * It's their traditional art.

Makara Sankranti is a festival in India which is celebrated in winter. Makar means zodiac sign of Capricornus and Sankraman means transition. The sun enters Makara Rasi on that day. We know it comes on 14th or 15th January every year. We wonder how it coincides mostly with English dates. While all other festivals are celebrated as per lunar calendar, Pongal( Makara Sankranti ) is based on solar calendar on which English calendar also is based. On a careful observation from 2001 to 2008, we see that in 2004 and 2008, it fell on January 15, and all other years it was on 14th. Can we infer that Sankranthi falls on January 15th every Leap year? Examining the table, we can roughly infer that Sankranti occurs on 15th January in a leap year. We find that transition into Makaram occurs 6hrs 9mts later every year. In 4 years it will become 24 hrs 36 mts pushing Sankranthi from 14th to 15th January and in all those years entry into Makaram is after sunset. Accumulation of 36 mts push Sankranthi forward as a matter of routine. In short, the pattern of Sankranti which previously was 14-14-14-15, changed to 14-14-15-15 in the period 2009-2012. Few years later it will become 14-15-15-15; few years further it will be 15-15-15-15; it will keep on shifting forward. It takes about 40 years to change Sankranti pattern. So, the pattern will change to 14-15-15-15 in the period 2049-2052 and thereafter Sankranthi will fall only on January 15th up to the beginning of next century. But if we examine the calendar of 2101 to 2104, we observe Makara Sankranthi falls on January 16th on all 4 years though 40 year period is not yet over. Why? 1969–1972 14-14-14-15 2009–2012 14-14-15-15 2049–2052 14-15-15-15 2089-2092 15-15-15-15 2101–2104 16-16-16-16 2125 - 2128 16-16-16-17 2100 is not a leap year! It is going to be an ordinary year of 365 days. So, Sankranti won't get pulled backward the way it gets due to a leap year. It will move ahead by a day forever. As per the rules of Gregorian calendar that we use, it has to be fully divisible by 400 in order to be a leap year. So the years 2100, 2200, 2300 are not leap years; but 2000, 2400 are. So Sankranti will get pulled back in those years. This proves that Sankranti will keep going out of sync with seasons. It will go into February in another 1200 years. No wonder if Sankranthi comes after Ratha Sapthami. Is it not interesting to observe connection between leap year and Sankranthi?
