(Shared by V Rangarajan) Good Morning Nice Day M G Warrier A Message from M G Warrier You will enjoy this Weekend edition of Collage. From Ashoka University campus to the Great Wall... The content of Collage, naturally, gets influenced by what I listen, read and contemplate. Contributions from V Babusenan, Vathsala Jayaraman, V T Panchapagesan (Sunday Collage), S Venugopal, A P Ramadurai and many others make my job easy. We came to Kerala in December 2021. Planning to return to Mumbai during the 4th week of April 2022. While in Kerala, the stay was comfortable, though we couldn't meet as many friends and relatives as we wanted to. Small health issues and the perennial C-thing had their role in dampening our enthusiasm. Still I am looking forward to the AGM of our RBI Retirees Association on April 2, 2022, when I can meet more people. If Notion Press delivers the copies I have ordered by then, my 2020 book "Restoring Trust in Governance" will be formally released on April 2, 2022. B Myths surrounding the Great Wall of China https://www.thetravel.com/myths-great-wall-of-china-tourists/amp/ 15 Myths Surrounding The Great Wall Of China Tourists Need To Know As old as it is, there are numerous myths about the Great Wall of China that tourists need to know about. C Collage Weekend : Sanskrit Drama https://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/arts/world-lit/asian/asian-drama/sanskrit-drama Sanskrit Drama Sanskrit drama is part of Sanskrit literature, the classical literature of India, which flourished from about 1500 BC to about AD 1100. The earliest extant critical work on Sanskrit drama is attributed to Bharata, the legendary formulator of the dramatic art in India. That work, the Na ya-sastra (c.2d cent. AD) is relatively late but could be a reworking of a much earlier version. References to the drama and to dramatic criticism in the work of the grammarian Panini constitute a more certain indication of an early date for Sanskrit drama. The earliest-known Sanskrit playwright was Bhasa (c.3d cent. AD) while among the most renowned were Kalidasa, Bhavabhuti (c.8th cent. AD), and King Harsha. Few Sanskrit plays survive, perhaps due to the limited size of their exclusively aristocratic audience as well as to their antiquity.
