It was Monsoon Tourism, as Aslesha Njattuvela was on. It was raining heavily, cats and dogs in Kerala. I got the rains when I reached Kochi. I had some work at the Passport Office and I finished the work at Noon. Then I went on a tour of the famous Goshree Islands. I went by boat yesterday to the beautiful Bolgatty Island. A two minutes walk saw me entering the lovely Bolgatty Palace, a resort by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation. I walked to the Bolgatty Bus Stand and took a bus to Vallarpadam International Container Terminal. Now everything is in place and one ship, OEL Dubai, was unloading. The progress of the ICTT is slow, but steady. The Bolgatty Palace is beautiful and well situated in the Mulavukad Island. This island is connected to Vallarpadam by a bridge. Vallarpadam is in turn connected to Vypin by a bridge. In fact these bridges are known as Goshree Bridges, as these beateous islands are known as Goshree Islands. In Vypin, one can see the GAIL LNG terminals, which

Siddhanta Darpana by Samanta is a great treatise on Astronomy. The placing of the five major planets in the Tychonic Model of the solar system is in agreement with the Titius-Bode Law and even with Kepler's third law. This is a great contribution from Samanta. Epicycles for Solar Anomaly, known as Ugra Phala give correct distances of planets, in both Indian and Greek Astronomy. Here we give the modern values of the radii of the orbits of the planets and those given in his magnum opus, the Siddhanta Darpana. Planetary distances in astronomical unit Planet Distance according to Bode’s law Actual distance Mercury 0.4 0.387 Venus 0.7 0.732 Earth 1.0 1.0 Mars 1.6 1.524 Asteroid belt 2.8

Adverse Jupiter for both India ( Jove in the 10th ) and Dhoni ( 8th ) wreacked havoc as India slumped to a huge defeat. A defeat by 319 runs and England moved over to top place in ICC Rankings. What happened to India is a huge slump. Jupiter moved over to the 10th in India's national chart on May 8. Dhoni is under 8th Jupiter ( Ashtame Haritho Bali ).

Bell's century ensured that England is in control of this Test. Indian bowlers could not achieve much success as Bell plundered 159, Morgan 70, KP 63 and Prior 64 not out. England were in absolute command at 441/6. India will have to fight it hard to save this Test. It will need a century of centuries from the Little Master, if India is to hold on to a draw. Maybe this is the occasion we are waiting for !

The Earth's Axial tilt is called the Obliquity of the Ecliptic and the is angle between the perpendicular to Orbit and the North Celestial Pole. The Equatorial coordinate system is based on the 360 degree Celestial Equator Circle. The Ecliptic coordinate system is based on the 360 degree Ecliptic circle. The mathematical conversion from Equatorial to Ecliptic is effectuated by the equation for the Ascendant Lagna = arctan ( Sin E / Cos E Cos w - Sin w Tan A ) where Lagna is the Lagna on the Ecliptic andE is the Lagna on the Celestial Equator, the Sayana Kala Lagna. The Sayana Kala Lagna , E, is reduced to the Ecliptic by this equation. The Lagna is the intersecting point between the Eastern Celestial Horizon, the Kshitija with the Ecliptic. w is the Sun's maximum declination and A is the latitude of the place.
