The Vindhyas as seen from Bhimbetka




I was browsing some Wikipedia sites about Indian rivers and mountain ranges, and via a chain of links, came across this page, about the Vindhyas as seen from Bhimbetka.

The Vindhyas are a large mountain range in central India.

I lived in Madhya Pradesh for some years as a teenager. Madhya Pradesh is called M.P. for short; the name means, loosely, middle state, referring to its geographic position in India.

The Vindhyas are partly in Madhya Pradesh, and Bhimbetka is in M.P. too.

I had visited Bhimbetka, and also traveled to, or through, many other places in M.P. generally, and the Vindhyas in particular (both within and outside of M.P., such as in Maharashtra, a neighboring state, for example) as a kid and teenager. I loved many of those places.

Amazon launches peer-to-peer selling in Bangalore

By Vasudev Ram

Just saw the news.

Amazon has launched peer-to-peer (P2P) selling in Bangalore, India. (The page says it is only available there as of now. I hope and assume they will roll it out to more towns and cities in India.)

It can be tried here:

Google Capital coming to invest in India

By Vasudev Ram





Google Capital is coming to India to set up base from which invest in Indian startups, says the Economic Times.

Excerpts:

[ is setting up its growth capital arm in India to double down on startup investing as it turns bullish on fast-growing local emerging companies that have drawn attention from big investors across the world.
...
will hire a team and invest in growth-stage companies in India, a market in which investors ranging from Japanese communications group SoftBank to Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba have recently made big bets. "It made a lot of sense to focus a lot of attention here now," David Lawee, partner at Google Capital
...
A serial entrepreneur, Lawee counts the move to set up office in India as "the most important" decision Google Capital has made in recent months
...
"I want to invest up to the limit of what's reasonable," said Lawee, who was the head of corporate development at Google until 2012.
...
While Google Capital, founded in 2013, has invested nearly $500 million in 11 companies globally, India will be its first destination where it has an office outside the US.
...
The California-based company also invests in early-stage companies through Google Ventures. "The companies that I'm seeing here have much more upside than most companies I'm seeing in the US," said Lawee. ]

Video: Concert for India's environment - by Chinmaya Dunster and the Celtic Ragas band

By Vasudev Ram

I saw this music video a while ago, and liked it a lot:

A sense of wonder - Concert for India's environment

by Chinmaya Dunster and his Celtic Ragas band. Dr. Eruch Bharucha and the students of Bharati Vidyapeeth in Pune were involved in it.

For some reason I don't see the embed tag in the video on YouTube, so cannot embed it in this post. Just click or right-click on the link to watch it, though.

And if you like it and want to watch / listen to it again, you can download it using youtube-dl, the YouTube downloader tool (written in Python), that I blogged about recently.

This concert was the "favorite video of mine" that I mentioned in the youtube-dl post.
