Forgotten histories

I was reading The Star online and came across of the article on new painting found on Masjid Jamek. History findings are fascinating, it takes us back into the past. Here now where we stand high on a tall building once was a historical place. History has literally been dug and long forgotten in the face of modernisation and development. Example in Melaka, there was a big wall or fort surrounded main town from the "A Famosa" entrance but as time passed by developments has taken place the walls went missing but now if you go there at some places the earth erosions has revealed the forgotten wall's. You can see the foundation base with the old ancient materials used for the wall are still preserved and are very much intact. In early photographs and drawings of the fort walls features quite prominently.  Histories are revealing themselves reminding us once they did existed but all forgotten. #mythought #mywrites

Less Known Facts of Mahabharata

Sometimes we are not known to the real myths and facts around us. We hear the Indian folklores but how many of us do really read the complete version of it to find out the every facts and factuals of it. I have been watching the Mahabharata new series of episodes for past one year. After all Hindi or Tamil serials something I watched truly as the characters were brought to life in a proper ways and not very cartoonic though. However, I understand the producers or directors will not be able to translate the entire Mahabharata epic into few episodes. Just like the "Harry Potter", I have read all the 7 books and and much awaited movie was a real disappointment because whatever was reflected in the book did not appeared in the movie due to the time contraints. It's also understandable at this situation because Mahabharata is one of the well known epic of thr Hindu religion and it would be difficult to bring everything on the screen. We have to also look into certain

Here is a website to more of the facts and factual the real words written long ago. I got to know my actual facts right and still discovering more. But reading the entire whole book might take ages to understand it for me. Mahabharata vs TV Mahabharata)
