People’s Science Institute Calendar 2010- Pictures of the Gori Ganga
Posted on 29 Dec, 2009 12:30 PMGuest Post by: Ravi Chopra (People’s Science Institute)
I have before me PSI’s new calendar for 2010. Even at the risk of sounding immodest, I think it is stunning. I thought that our 2009 calendar on river Ganga could not be topped. But I think that aesthetically this one is better! A pdf version is attached.
I would like to urge you to order your copies before they are sold out. The pricing structure is
In India (includingpostage) | Abroad (including postage) |
| 1 to 49 calendars @ 150 each | 1 to 9 @ US $ 15 each |
| 50 to 99 calendars @ 125 each | 10 to 49 @ US $ 12 each |
| 100 or more calendars @ 100 each | 50 or more @ US $ 10 each |
The 2010 calendar features Gori Ganga, one of Uttarakhand’s remote and pristine rivers. The photographs capture the sun-bathed beauty of the lower valley, the wilderness of the upper catchment and the quietude that comes with the remoteness. Our dynamic photographers, Devraj Agrawal and Salil Das trekked on foot and pony for four days from Munsiyari to Milam glacier, the source of the river, to bring you some rare and breath-taking photos.

In this post I attempt to do a photo blog from my past photo collections on this subject from different parts of the country.

Cyclone Aila 2009
Posted on 01 Jun, 2009 11:27 AMTropical Storm Aila struck southern Bangladesh and eastern India on May 27, 2009. The New York Times reported that floods and mudslides killed at least 191 people and left hundreds of thousands more homeless. As of May 27, the death toll was expected to rise. Images from The Nasa Earth Observatory.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this true-color image of Aila on May 25, 2009, the same day that the storm temporarily strengthened to a Category 1 cyclone. Aila almost completely fills this scene, stretching from the Bay of Bengal deep into India, Bangladesh, and Burma (Myanmar). On May 25, Aila's wind speeds ranged from 74 kilometers per hour (46 miles per hour or 40 knots) to 120 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour or 65 knots).

A ragged-looking Tropical Storm Bijli draped the east coast of India in this image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite on April 16, 2009. Bijli became a tropical storm in the northwest Bay of Bengal on April 15, and initially headed north, toward the west coast of India. By April 16, it had begun a northeastward turn, however, and the storm was being projected to make landfall in eastern Bangladesh on April 17, according to Unisys.
