Life goes on in their own rhythm.

On way to home after collecting leaves and woods from forest

Looking for animal source (fish) of protein. May be burning more than one,s own share

Getting prepared for the harder time. Drying leafy vegetables which will be used during the monsoon when vegetables are luxury due to their price and availability.

My salute to those tribal population group, who are working hard against all odds for their livelihood in these remote places.

La Martiniere; French connection

One of the heritage buildings of Kolkata still standing tall

La Martiniere Calcutta comprises two separate private schools (boys and girls). 

The schools were established in 1836 in accordance with the will of the French-born mercenary Major General Claude Martin.

Claude Martin was born on 4 January 1735 in Lyon, France. He came to India when he was 17 and served in the French East India Company. After French influence declined in India, he served in the British East India Company and rose to the rank of Major-General. After taking up residence in Lucknow, India, he again switched allegiances and occupied an important position in the court of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daulah and later his son, Asaf-ud-Daula.

During this period he accumulated a fortune of about 400,000 rupees. He built the palace of 'Constantia' and his house named Farhat Baksh, both of which he equipped with luxuries that included a library of some 4,000 volumes written in many languages and a picture gallery.

He died in Lucknow on September 13, 1800. According to his will, he was buried in the vault prepared for his remains in the basement of the college in Lucknow. The major portion of his monies and estate were left for founding three institutions, one each in Lucknow and Calcutta and his birthplace Lyon.
