@SirJambavan After kg2 the king cannot be mated in the next move ..

[मुरलि राममूर्ति @sathyasryan]

@SirJambavan A good option is qb7

[मुरलि राममूर्ति @sathyasryan]

@SirJambavan @shiv_cybersurg I think qh6 will lead to qxb check and the mate evaporates ..qh5 is not great either as rxr gives a reprieve

ジョシマートの上にあるアウリに到着。朝起きたらナンダ・デヴィの西壁が見えた。17年前にガルワールを旅してからずっと見たいと願っていた山だ。今日はバドリナートとマナ村を訪ね、明日はAuli Gorsonまでトレッキングの予定。

今日、訪れた先で印象に残ったChandpur Garhi（チャンドプル・ガルヒ）。石積みの城壁の遺構が素晴らしい。平たい石を積み重ねた家屋はガルワールやクマオンで一般的に見られるが、ここまで精巧な構造をもつ建築はあまり見たことがない。山奥で予期せぬ遭遇。

[KSK@neuropsychiatry @ksktkht8]

Chandpur Garhi。ガルワール王国の前身となったパーンワール王朝の初期の本拠地。石を積み重ねた城壁が見事だ。ちなみにガルワールのガルは城塞を意味しており、ガルワールこの地に50以上の城塞があったことに由来するそう。これからジョシマート、アウリへと向かう。

アディ・バドリ（Adi Badri）。ガルワール地方に残る古代ヒンドゥー寺院群で、ヴィシュヌ神を祀る聖地。ヴィシュヌ信仰の重要な巡礼地「パンチ・バドリ（Panch Badri、五つのバドリ）」の一つらしい。かつてガルワール王国の重要拠点だった チャンドプル城塞の遺構も近い。

You think you’ve met some tough sailors?

Let me introduce you to one of the most badass sailors ever Commander Bill King, Royal Navy.

This absolute BADASS survived SIX YEARS of submarine warfare during WWII. No significant breaks. As other submarine captains were getting slaughtered by Germans, he kept returning to even the odds.

The he decided the best way to recover from the experience was to sail ALONE around the world in a 42-foot sailboat.

And somehow, that’s not even the craziest part of his story.

King was born in 1910. His father was killed fighting in WWI. At just 12 years old, he entered the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth.

By the outbreak of WWII, he was commanding British submarines.

Think about what that meant.

No nuclear propulsion. No modern sonar. No satellite intelligence. No helicopter rescue waiting overhead.

Just diesel engines, batteries, torpedoes, and a steel pressure hull separating you from a horrible death.

He fought through the Battle of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean campaigns before taking command of HMS Telemachus in the Pacific.

In July 1944, King hunted down and sank the Japanese submarine I-166 in the Strait of Malacca.

He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order TWICE, along with the Distinguished Service Cross.

He was reportedly the ONLY British submarine commander to remain in submarine command from the beginning of WWII to its end.

SIX YEARS.

Imagine the accumulated stress of six years hunting enemy warships while knowing that one depth charge could send you and your entire crew to the bottom.

The war ended, but it never really left him.

King later admitted that the experience had reduced him to a nervous wreck.

So what did he do?

He bought a ruined castle in Ireland, took up farming, and eventually decided he needed to get away from EVERYTHING.

In 1968, at the age of 58, he entered the inaugural Sunday Times Golden Globe Race.

The mission?

Race 9 other competitors to be the first to sail alone, nonstop, around the entire planet.

He built the 42-foot junk-rigged schooner named Galway Blazer II.

No GPS. No Starlink. No weather routing. No EPIRB.

Just celestial navigation, seamanship, and a lifetime of experience surviving in places where mistakes get people killed.

He sailed south into the Atlantic.

Then the Southern Ocean came looking for him.

A monstrous storm capsized his boat, destroying his masts.

King survived, rigged emergency sails, and eventually made it to South Africa.

Race over.

Worse? He lost the race to a young Merchant Navy officer.

You laugh but the other Royal Navy commander whose boat sunk in that race, was so embarrassed by being shamed by other naval officers that he hung himself.

Most men would have called it quits.

Not Bill King.

He tried again.

And again.

On a subsequent attempt, something enormous, possibly a shark or whale, slammed into his boat off Australia, punching a hole in the hull.

He spent DAYS making emergency repairs at sea.

Again, he survived.

Finally, in 1973, at the age of 62, SIXTY TWO, he completed his solo circumnavigation.

He had survived two world wars’ worth of family tragedy, six years of submarine combat, a dismasting, a capsizing, and a terrifying collision at sea.

And he was STILL sailing.

In 1975, the Cruising Club of America awarded him its prestigious Blue Water Medal.

But there’s one more part of his story I find extraordinary.

Decades after King sank the Japanese submarine I-166, the son of one of the Japanese sailors killed aboard that submarine visited him in Ireland.

Instead of hatred, the two families developed a friendship.

They planted trees together as symbols of peace.

Think about that.

A submarine commander who had spent years trying to kill the enemy ultimately found friendship with the family of a man he’d killed in battle.

Bill King lived to be 102 YEARS OLD. He simply refused to die.

Fair winds Commander 🫡

He was an IIT engineer whose medical condition dramatically changed his appearance. Then Bollywood turned him into one of its most terrifying horror villains.

His story gets even more unbelievable.

While shooting a horror film, he was accidentally locked inside a coffin. The space left for him to breathe had been sealed, and nobody could hear his screams. He later said, “I could have died.”

His name was Anirudh Agarwal.

He graduated in civil engineering from IIT Roorkee in 1974 and moved to Mumbai, where he initially worked as an engineer while pursuing his interest in acting.

Then he developed a condition caused by a tumour in his pituitary gland. The resulting hormonal changes dramatically altered his facial features and body.

He later recalled that people who once found him handsome had started looking at him with fear. Even strangers would get frightened when they saw him.

But an unexpected opportunity was waiting.

A well-wisher suggested that he meet the Ramsay Brothers.

When Anirudh walked into their office, they were stunned by his appearance. They had already shot much of Purana Mandir (1984), but were still searching for the right actor to play the demon Samri.

They immediately signed him.

His appearance was so suited to the role that he needed very little transformation to become the terrifying character.

The film became a major success.

He later appeared as Samri again in Saamri and played the vampire Nevla in Bandh Darwaza (1990).

He also showed a different side of his acting as Babu Gujjar in Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen (1994).

昼に訪れた老舗の小さな食堂で晩ごはん。アールー・タマータルとローティー、チャース。品数が限定された、きわめてシンプルな料理は家庭的に感じるが、タンドールを使ったローティーは決して家庭料理ではない。限りなく家庭料理に近い食堂料理こそ理想なのかもしれない。
