Question: Why is it that Hindu scriptures are referred to as mythology and Gods as mythological while Christianity is a religion and the Bible is a holy book? I seen this referral in a lot in textbooks and documentaries... I can understand if no one practices the religion anymore like Greek mythology (er, at least I think they don't), but Hinduism (a way of life and a religion) is practiced by a wide range of people...

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
After a surviving a harsh downpour, we stumble upon a beautiful walkway like bridge encroached by moss, mud and dead leaves. It is above roads, houses, railway tracks, and a vast body of water. We walked smartly at first, eager to find where it leads... yet it went on and on and we never did reach the end.

A peek back into time...
This was an attempt to capture village life back in the day. Kattadi basically means a windmill. Here, it is a toy made out of palm leaves.
