Six independent buildings in this Museum campus has 46 galleries. I have reproduced down below the history of the museum itself as it has an interesting past - what it being a place where the elite of the city met, to being a zoo, to an aquarium, then a library and finally the great grand museum. History of the museum The proposal for a museum in Madras was mooted by the Madras Literary Society in 1846 AD and Sir Henry Pottinger , the then Governor, obtained the sanction of the Court of Directors of the East India Company in London.

The notification in the Fort St. George Gazetteer dated 29 th Aprtil 1851 AD contained the first announcement regarding the ope...

Most of you would have read about the bomb blast in 2 Indian cities on subsequent days - previous day at Bangalore and the next day at Ahmedabad. Of all the images that were displayed, only one stuck to my mind. It was the picture of a fruit vendor couple lying dead in front of their fruit cart. What have these people to do with anything that the terrorists give out as a reason for doing this heinous act. It is such innocent people who are affected and for all others life goes on for ever. Why this cowardly act. Which religion or God asks or gives you a sanction to kill innocents. Or rather what do you achieve by killing people like these. don't you know what kind of a shattered life you leave behind for such victims family.

If it exercises the 2nd Option, this is what it should undergo The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest There the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it comes off. After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its' talons When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers And after five months, the eagle takes its' fa...
