SARUS SCAPE: De clay is good
http://sarusscape.blogspot.com/2010/04/de-silt-is-good.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. De clay is good. Clay is sticky, holds water for long periods, and accumulates in wetlands each year. Clay also breaks up into dry blocks in the summer making it easy to collect! The ancient practice of removing clay during summer in Uttar Pradesh by the people keeps wetlands from dying. Block by pain-staking block of dried clay is broken off, and ferried by hand to the road where a bicycle awaits. Post-script: Illegal usurping of community wetlands can lead to unfortunate dispute...

SARUS SCAPE: Getting an earful
http://sarusscape.blogspot.com/2010/02/getting-earful.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Bank Mynas and water buffaloes hit it off just great. The buffaloes have plenty of treats walking around on them for Mynas to actually be territorial on the buffaloes' back. But the real battles are fought at the ears, for the ears, and going by how the buffaloes endure the vociferous battles taking place at their ear, it must be good for the ears.
