Legislative power in India is exercised by the Parliament, a legislature consisting of the President of India and the two houses of Parliament. The image above shows the parliament building ( Sansad Bhavan). However, when one looks at the building a feeling arises at times that there might be something architecturally incomplete in the building. Perhaps the designer had a second phase of construction in mind. This author tried to imagine what it might be and came up with the following design. It is a preliminary attempt and if ever taken up the dimensions of the dome may be re-examined. Recently members of parliament have expressed the need for more space too. Such an addition would provide the extra space as well as make the Parliament House design more compatible with other surrounding building in the capital.

It seems just the tip of the dome is already there, a very broad hint left by the designer for the present change whenever feasible.

Parliament House Design concept by Ashok M.

The fact that this modification was intended seems apparent if one looks at another building by same designer near it. Withholding the completion of the Parliament building by colonial rulers seems may be because of withholding democracy from a colony. Indians must now restore this symbol of democracy to its full glory

On Revival of Soma plant of Rig Veda

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Path_between_sugar_canes_%285216462193%29.jpg Similar Document also available for view or download at: https://www.scribd.com/doc/290825034/On-Revival-of-Soma-plant-of-Rig-Veda Abstract An ancient plant was described as a god amongst plants in the Rig Veda, an ancient sacred text of Indo-Aryans. The proper identification of this plant has been lost to mankind since ancient times. Scholars have made several diverse attempts to identify what this plant might be but none of the proposals come near the original Soma plant. In the present note a possible identification of this plant is made with a likely extinct variety of a sugar cane plant. It is suggested how an existing varieties may be genetically modified to yield a variety close to original Soma 1. Introduction There was a plant of earth that grew around the Himalayas known as Soma. It was regarded by ancient Indo-Aryans as godly plant. Ancient Indo-Aryans...

How to build a toilet for less than a few thousand rupees or twenty dollars – and stop open defecation

The Septic Drain T hose who live in developed countries may be surprised to learn that a large part of the human population lives without a toilet. Put crudely they simply piss and shit out in the open. In India it is estimated that half the population does that. This is all the more tragic in a country that invented toilets, bathrooms and covered drains five thousand years ago in the Indus Valley civilization ( http://alienaccount.blogspot.in/2013/09/indus-valley-and-atlantis.html ). Since then though, a lot of piss and water has passed under the bridge with a slide into poverty and decay. Aside from the inconvenience of having to run out into the fields every now and then, the phenomenon of open defecation poses some serious issues that have only increased with an increase of population density on the planet. First are health issues. When it rains the waste is washed into drains, rivulets, rivers, ponds and lakes. Water sources are then charged with disease causing bac...
