I am sure you guys have heard Gorilla and trekking these two words respectively .But how did a relationship form between these two and how did this topic of Gorilla trekking came into existence is what we are going to talk about .

Generally trekking means a long journey typically on foot , and gorillas are largest of the great apes and are the largest living primates.

Gorilla trekking refers to people hiking through forests to see mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat unlike how we visit zoos to watch animals here the animals are not caged.

This trekking happens in forests of Africa at Bwindi National park in Uganda and also in Rwanda.

It's a popular choice for travel bucket list of many travellers.But for trekking almost for 8 hours you need stamina,physical fitness and also should be able to balance yourself out there

The Gorilla trek tour costs ranges from $1,200  to $3,300 from cheapest to expensive respectively.The package includes a Gorilla tacking permit,private transport ,an English speaking guide , accomodation and meals.

Butterfly effect 🦋

Hello guys. Today’s topic is very interesting.

Have you guys ever heard about the 🦋 butterfly effect.

This theory is about how small changes effect the larger outcome.It describes how the occurrence of large events is due to the small changes or small events that occur.

This metaphor was created by Ray Bradbury in 1952 from a story called the sound of thunder.This story is about how a butterfly’s death in past could cause a very big and impactful change in the future

Butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.

We can observe small details in our nature and how those small things are affecting the whole new and big outcome that is destined to take place.

Although this butterfly effect is used in terms of weather prediction and also it’s traces can be seen in lorenz’s computerized weather model but nothing could be proven as weather was impossible to predict due to this small instance of butterfly effect.

To prove this theory he used butterfly analogy

The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon but in real it’s flapping cannot cause a big typhoon but they act as catalyst that is they change the rate at which any act is taking place on starting conditions.

To make it more simpler when butterfly flaps its wings it causes an small atmospheric pressure which can cause changes in the typhoons trajectory but cannot create a typhoon

This butterfly concept is like an unknown variable in a complex theory where nothing can be predicted but assures us of it existence which cannot be explained simply.

Many script writers got inspired by this theory and many films were made based on it.

But isn’t fascinating that a minute thing is the reason that effects gigantic things , that is its small existence is a big part how the changes taking place in a big thing.

Science is simply the word we use to describe a method of organising our curiosity

Although the smurfs are not present in this village and is a normal village like any other then why do you think it is called a smurf village .

It is called because the whole village painted their houses in blue dedicating it to the film smurfs.

They even have statues located here and there and visiting this “blue-tiful” city you enter into a whole new world.

Like every other village everyone leads their daily lives normally but painting a whole village is something to talk about.

Kintsugi-THE ART OF BROKEN

Hello guys! Today’s topic is about an how an art is made by mending broken pieces.

Yes you heard right when things break we throw them away but there is a Japanese art form called kintsugi or kintsukuroi.

As it’s name says golden joinery and golden repair respectively. In this art is made through repairing the broken pieces and again joining them.

They say broken is beautiful, in this art form there is philosophy they follow that is those cracks that appear after mending the objects is considered to be the history of that object and those cracks are not to be hidden.

I love how they don’t cover those cracks and instead display it proudly as if telling the whole world to look at it how it is rather than how it should appear .

It teaches us a very important life lesson that

Never to hide our scars rather than show them proudly as they are a part of your journey and they deserve to be shown rather than cover them.

We should respect our past that is depicted through these scars and be grateful that the present you is because of the past you had .

Imperfection is the real Perfection.

The perfection you seek is ideal but not the truth but the imperfection you that is thriving to become the perfection is real.

In this art they seal the broken parts with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold,silver or platinum.

There are different styles of kintsugi

Crack :-They use gold dust and resin or lacquer to attach broken pieces with very less overlap or fill-in from missing pieces

Piece method :-In this they add gold /lacquer in place of the missing fragments of the broken object

Joint call :- In this method a fragment which not matching but is similarly shaped is used to replace a missing piece from the original broken object creating a patchwork effect.

Here mending  the pieces and making  an object  from it  gives them an unique aura,a special appearance and also gives the art form it's true meaning.

This art form is now an inspiration to modern artists ,this art form reduces the usage of things ,there is no wastage and infact it's as if the while mending a broken piece it's history ,the memories related to it everything is restored in the process.

Thankyou^^.

Derinkuyu-The Underground city

We know the term “city “that is on the ground,but there is another term when associated with the term city gives of a thrilling vibes and piques the curiosity of people and the term is “UNDERGROUND”

“Underground city” it is a city which is literally as the name says underneath the ground.
So today we are going to discuss about a city called “Derinkuyu”.

It is an ancient multi-level underground city in Turkey.

It is the deepest excavated underground city in Cappadocia and a stunning wonder.

The city is said extends to a depth of 200 feet and could have sheltered as many as 20,000 people together.

Derinkuyu city is famous for its capacity to hold thousands of families that is one of the highest among many underground cities that were found.

It’s said that this city dwelling not only could hold thousands of people, but also contained everything an entire population would need to survive any crises.

There are numerous subterranean dwellings and secret tunnel passages that were used as shelters.

The underground city at Derinkuyu could be closed from the inside with large stone doors enhancing the security measures up a notch and each floor could be closed off separately.

It had aminities such as wine and oil presses, stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, and chapels.

On the second floor is a spacious room with a barrel-vaulted ceilings ,and rooms were used as a religious school and for study purposes.

There is a series of vertical staircases between the 3rd and 4 th floor leading to the church located at lowest level.

There is a large 55-metre ventilation shaft a which seemed to provide water to both the villagers above and, if the outside world was not accessible, to those in hiding.

What fascinates me is how did they build this city without having any access to the technology and designed it beautifully and they took all kinds off possibilities into account making a city which is anytime ready to face any kind of problem.

It is said to be one of the top most tourist destinations in Turkey. You can also visit this by booking tickets in a trusted website.

THE ROGAN ART

Hello guys! Today I am going to tell you guys about a 400 year old art .

Abdul Gaffur khatri’s family is ” the only family in the world” that is keeping this art alive for almost 8 generations.

This art is called “The Rogan Art”.

The palm of the hand is the essential tool for getting this painting technique just right.

These designs were once popular throughout India, but the rise of industrial textiles forced many artisans to leave the craft for more lucrative work.

“Rogan means oil in Farsi”

This art starts with castor oil.
It’s the base of the paint.So the art is named after it .

In this process the oil should be heated for two days until it becomes a honey-like texture.
It’s a dangerous process only a few can handle.
After it cools they combine the oil with pigment to create the paint.The above mentioned steps are only for making the paint now comes the main thing.
In this art the use of the hand gives the Rogan art it’s unique nature.
The paint needs to be swirled in the palm which in turn creates heat to thin it out after that the thread of paint is floated over the fabric using a metal rod.

Using the other hand underneath the cloth to guiding the paint and this process is completely free hand which makes this art more peculiar as the final design is to be anticipated and not ready made before.

Before it dries, they folds the cloth to print the design’s mirror image.which is timesaving and also the design will be symmetric.

This art is said to have originated from from Persia400 years ago to India and it was once popular on bedding and ceremonial clothing here in India.

But with the rise of mass-produced textiles in the ’80s,locals lost interest in these more expensive handmade pieces.

Many artisans couldn’t compete with mass manufacturers and dropped their crafts to find other work.

This beautiful art is also going extinct and covid-19 has the greatest impact on these artisans forcing them to leave this and find some other work for their livelihood as before they used to sell their pieces to foreigners but after the pandemic even that income has come to a halt.

We have to encourage them so that the art’s legacy can carry on and our next generations can also see this beautiful art.

Thankyou.
