Oh! My God

Call this a prison?

Adarsh Karagar located on the outskirts of Lucknow is a unique prison. The convicts in this jail are permitted to move about freely. They also earn their living. Some have laundries, other run barber shops while some have formed a musical band which is in great demand at functions. They queue up each morning before leaving for their chosen work but have to return by sundown. But of course Adarsh Karagar is not for all and sundry. It is only meant for ‘star prisoners’ with exemplary records who are between 21 and 40 years, physically fit and have strong family ties. The Karagar also has an open village with 50 acres of land for cooperative farming. The main aim of this jail is to reform the convicts by providing financial and emotional security.

 

Camel can go for several days without food or water

Camel can go for several days without food or water. They carry a supply of fat in their humps. A camel with a sagging hump is a hungry camel! They lose no water from their bodies. They do not sweat and their urine is solid crystal. People in the desert do not wash-up with water, they use sand to clean their dirty dishes.

Clocks that make Patit Paban Dutta

It is clocks that make Patit Paban Dutta of Calcutta tick-literally! He has been tending the clock towers of Calcutta for more that half-a-century. Starting as an apprentice under his father at the age of 16, Dutta is still able to climb up a flight of 108 stairs to check the clock a top St. Paul’s Cathdral every week and wind it with the help of 5-kg iron crank. It was one of his forefathers who had set up the famous clock towers of Calcutta way back in 19th century. Assisted by son Subir, Dutta also looks after other clock towers in the city and in suburbs like Bandel and Hooghly. In fact it was Subir who had repaired the clock at the Golden Temple at Amritsar.
