It is truly a beautiful church, regretfully not that much used any more I think. The traffic is low and the number of Armenians is dwindling. Same in Calcutta as well...the diaspora is either shifting or shrinking. Either way, this will end up being a historical curiosity...<br />
<br />
Its the oldest Christian Church erected in 1835. An interesting story about where the funding came from...it came from the Armenian community in Singapore but also from Indonesia, India...at that time, there were only 16 Armenians in Singapore! go figure.<br />
<br />
This church is modelled on the mother church back in Armenia...lovely lovely place.<br />
<br />
If you wander around the graves, you will see people from all walks of lives who are buried here. But do you know, these graves arent actually Armenian graves? these graves were originally in Bukit Timah Christian Cemetery..and were moved here in 1978...no wonder its rather interestingly laid out.<br />

<br />

<br />
You can look at the link to get more descriptions of this most amazing piece of Goldsmith's art, but I was focussed on the thorn. Is the thorn, which is protected by a pane of rock crystal, really 2000 years old? is this the thorn which adorned Jesus's head? I didnt talk to me, I am afraid, I didnt feel anything but then should I have? I am guessing yes, i should have, this has been the object of veneration for so many centuries and is one of the holiest objects in the world. But nothing? no feeling? at all? I was disappointed.<br />

Can you see the last supper? there's plates with food, the expressions of the apostles are amazing.<br />
<br />
And then this is Herculus and Antaeus, German, mid 17th century. Just look at the face and rictus.<br />

If very rich, they go and do it with leather.<br />

this is Anne Seymour Damer, a lady sculpturess, carved by her guru, Giuseppe Ceracchi. She is holding an allegory of Sculpture in her hands and you can just make out the tools of a sculptor at her feet. Quite a nice statue.<br />

<br />
I wasnt able to see the green tinge but I suppose that's because of the lighting, but is is the only complete Roman Glass object in existence dating to 4th century AD.<br />
<br />
the work undertaken to create this glass cup is prodigious. Completely mindboggling.<br />

this is perhaps the most famous tablets which describes how the gods sent a flood to destroy the world, Utnapishtim was given word before the flood and hence he built an ark to preserve living beings. So the Bible copied this myth. This is quite common, the Jews copied from the previous Assyrian and Babylonian myths, the Christians copied from them and Islam did it further. So basically different versions of the same<br />

And then the world famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_Cylinder" target="_blank">Cyrus Cylinder</a>, dating back to the 6th century BCE, it praises Cyrus, talks about him and how he became the ruler and the ruling god, Marduk, and and and. This cylinder also provides evidence that Cyrus allowed the captured Jews to go back to Jerusalem after their Babylonian Captivity.<br />

When you stand in front of this cylinder and watch this golden cylinder and peer closely at the cuneiform markings, you think of the sheer weight of history which has been captured on the surface.<br />

I love her. She may be Ishtar or even her sister, Ereshkigal who ruled the underworld. Ishtar is the goddess of secual love and war.<br />
<br />
look at her face, there's a goddess face. Made between 1792-1750BC in Babylonia during the reign of the Babylonian King Hammurabi.<br />
<br />
I go there once an year and gaze at her adoringly. She is just beautiful. She speaks to me. She is alive because she has one worshipper at least. As long as even one worshipper exists, she will exist. I actually prefer her unpainted rather than the painted representation at the bottom. Look at her and worship her.<br />

These are truly magnificent, you cannot really believe the quality and artisanship which you see here, dating back from the 12th century onwards, these are truly brilliant. Each of these bronzes have a story to tell (which I dont know about nor the explanatory plaques say so). Just look at them, they are simply amazing.<br />

Its so easy to click like on facebook. Or drop a comment, gosh, I wish I could do this. I have been guilty of this. But then you come across people who actually make a difference. And when its a 9 year old girl, then you really feel bad about it all. </div>
<br />
This is a story of a 9 year old girl called as Muskaan. I quote from this story which was sent to me by my friend.<br />
<br />
http://www.thebetterindia.com/48885/children-library-in-bhopal/<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<i>All the books that have been provided by the Rajya Siksha Kendra are laid out on a mat, while other children residing in the slum eagerly wait for their turn to pick up one of them.<br />In December 2015, a team of the State Education Board visited the slum and gave the children about 25 books to share and read with the aim of creating an interest for reading among them. They also conducted a question-answer round to understand the academic level of the children and Muskaan, a student of Class 3, won the quiz. The officials were very impressed by her knowledge and zeal to learn more. And that is how they gave her the responsibility to educate other students in the area with the help of books provided by the centre. The children then received more books on Republic Day.<br />Muskaan, who is a one of the most intelligent children in her class, maintains a register to keep a track of the books taken by other children and when they have to be returned. Her elder sister Neha, who is a student of Class 7, helps her in this process.<br />“Currently, the officials have provided 119 books to the library, which is my responsibility and I love doing this. Other children in slum area take books and return them the other day. Some stay back to read here with me and ask questions where they don’t understand,” she told <span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/Muskaan-Ahirwar-9-years-old-class-3-librarian-of-a-Bhopal-slum-is-educating-generation-next/articleshow/51329103.cms" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box; color: #eb9812; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Times of India</a></span>.<br />This way, the slum children have found a place to play, listen to stories, learn, and read together. Muskaan also conducts reading and discussion sessions where she reads a book aloud, and then they discuss it. They are now planning to ask for more books because most children have read all the books in stock. Muskaan’s father Manohar Ahirwar is a carpenter and her mother Maya is a housewife. They are proud of their daughters and said that both of them are very dedicated to their studies.</i></blockquote>
<br />
Impressive, eh? So I asked Ma to see if we can help her out in any way. Ma went there day before yesterday and met her. They live in the slums, its a desperately poor place and the classes and reading happens in a dark dingy room. They have problems to keep the books safe so Ma and I decided to donate a nice little steel cupboard with glass doors to them for them to keep the books safe from damp, insects and damage.<br />
<br />
She is such a brave girl. 9 years old. I am seriously impressed by her motivation and dedication, there are not that many adults who can say that they have made a difference to 5 people forget about 9 year olds. Very impressed.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the photographs which Ma clicked.<br />

this is a throne of weapons made up of decommissioned weapons from Mozambique's civil wars in 1992. seven million weapons poured into the country. Go figure. This is one bloodstained history chair.<br />

this is a painting celebrating the coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1930 in the form of the Last Supper and the Emperor is the lion in the middle. Quite fascinating.<br />

This is a wooden figure made by the Bongo people in Sudan dating back to the 1800's, and this is erected on top of the graves of warriors. Notches on the figures would denote the kills made by the warrior (or hunter). The wood was so reminiscent of actual muscle. I just stood there gazing at it.<br />

This is a Minkisi made up of wood, iron, textiles and resin by the Kongo people in Congo dating back to the 1800's. So they were containers of power, and can be used to protect people or catch thieves or what have you. To activate the power, you drive a nail into it or insult them. I dont think I will insult them, just look at the face, does that look like a face which will welcome an insult?<br />

This is a pair of door panels and lintel from the Yoruba People in Nigeria, 1910, which was carved by the Olowe of Ise for the royal palace at Ikere. It commemorates a historical event where a British Administrator popped around. Can you see the faces? The British chappie is on the hammock, you have people dressed in european hats, with luggage/gifts on their heads.<br />

Here's a series of photo essays on what I found<br />
<br />
The first one is a stone statue of Ganesh dating back to 1200-1300 from Odisha. The workmanship is exquisite.<br />

<br />
This was painted by an Indian artist but for British Consumption in late 1700's or early 1800's from Tanjavur.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a woodcut print showing Buddhi and Siddhi, his consorts next to him. Curiously, it was captioned in both Urdu and English, and dates back to late 1700's. By this time, the English have had been in India for almost 100 years so could be an introductory text for English Visitors.<br />
<br />
Growing up in the Bengali tradition, it was always clear to me that he was an unmarried sort, and when his mum was pressing him to marry, he went and married a banana plant. But according to other traditions, he has had 3 consorts - Buddhi (Intellect), Siddhi (spiritual power, and Riddhi (prosperity). In yet other traditions, he is married to Saraswati (wisdom) and Laxmi (prosperity). Again, coming from a bong background, this is incest!<br />

<br />
<br />
this painting is from Pune late 1700's, and was collected by Edward Moor (1771-1848), one of the earliest English scholars of Hinduism. And yes, it has been described as a cult of Ganesh, you have to be in India during Ganesh Chaturthi to believe it, these days people escape the cities to get away from the noise and mayhem.<br />

He asked me why do you think this will help? So i was able to explain with some examples dating back to March 2014 when there was an exhibition at the British Library. I wasnt allowed to take pics but I sneaked few in. And after all that, i found that they had published some of the photographs online! ha!.<br />
<br />

<br />
what a lovely diagram. Here's the proper one.<br />
<br />

<br />
such a wonderful depiction.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s903.photobucket.com/user/Madcapmagician2009/media/2014/03%2002%20British%20Library%20Data%20Visualisation/IMG_1643_zpsvkvzxxce.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_1643_zpsvkvzxxce.jpg" border="0" src="https://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac238/Madcapmagician2009/2014/03%2002%20British%20Library%20Data%20Visualisation/IMG_1643_zpsvkvzxxce.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
And this is what just blew me away. You know Florence Nightingale was an accomplished nurse, of course, but did you know she was also a statistician as well as a data visualiser? This is the crucial graph which clearly identified how more soldiers were dying due to non battle related causes rather than battlefield injuries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's the proper one.<br />

<br />
now this is one of the most famous graphs of them all. This is the map where Jon Snow mapped the deaths due to cholera in the early 1800's and then traced it to the Broad Street Water Pump. Most amazing breakthrough.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
and then another wonderful example of record keeping.<br />
<br />

Wood is one of the most difficult materials to work in and this piece is perhaps the most amazing wooden pieces I have ever seen. Truly magnificent. This is in the Wallace Collection. It is about 50 cms and has been carved with an attention to detail that is just extraordinary. each and every figure is painstakingly picked out. Heck, the carving itself is amazing but imagine how they would have polished the wood, that would be even more difficult. Once or twice an year, i go there and fog up the glass admiring this wonderful piece of work. Truly amazing.<br />
