But when the scene repeated, during dinner at Berhampur, the Britisher could no longer contain himself, and enquired from the Iyer, ” Sir, what are those white things you have been eating, all along? ”
The Iyer replied, ” Sir, these are called intelligence tablets. We South Indians, can live on them for days, together. ”
Britisher: ” But how do you make them ? ”
The Iyer went into an elaborate description, of the raw materials and processes, of making idlis.
Britisher: “Then why were those intelligence tablets, so costly?”
The Iyer replied,”See?! You ate only 3 of them last night, and they have already started working?!”

In Shani Shingnapur village in Maharashtra, residents see little need for such security, thanks to their belief in special protection from the Hindu deity Shani.
As farmers trundle the roads in bullock carts piled high with sugarcane, they pass rows of homes bearing empty door frames — a village tradition that goes back for generations.
“Years ago, Shani came in the dreams of devotees and told them you don’t need to put any doors on your homes,” housewife Jayashree Gade told news agency AFP.
“He said: ‘I will protect you’. That’s why we don’t have any doors.”
According to legend, an iron and stone slab washed up in a nearby river during a flood more than 300 years ago, and began oozing blood when cattle herders poked it with a stick.
In a vision to a villager later that night, the slab was revealed to be an idol of Shani, and today it stands in an open square adorned with garlands of flowers, drawing crowds of pilgrims.
Shani, who is believed to be manifested in the planet Saturn, is considered so mighty that his shrine cannot be kept under a shelter — and he will not let thieves in the village of open homes go unpunished.
Some villagers said they put loose panels against their door frames at night, but only to keep out wild animals.
Similarly, the local branch of state-owned UCO Bank prides itself on its “lockless” status. Although money is kept in a strongroom, the front of the building has just a glass door with no lock, to avert stray dogs
“We have no trouble,” said bank official Nagender Sehrawat, gesturing to the queue of customers when asked if they were happy with the arrangement.
Shani Shingnapur’s reputation has been somewhat dented in recent years by reports of a few thefts. In 2010, a visitor from the North complained that cash and valuables worth 35,000 rupees were taken from a vehicle.
According to a pamphlet handed out at the shrine, Shani Shingnapur is not just free from theft but from all sinful behaviour, a “model village” in contrast to the corrupt outside world.
“Professional robbers, thieves, dacoits, non-vegetarians, drunkards, never come here,” the pamphlet confidently stated.
“If they come, they behave like gentlemen.”
Incredibly deceiving images of what can easily be mistaken for snow-covered Australian mountains have been released.
But do not be fooled. Instead, what the pictures really show are stunning pyramids of plain, white salt.
These were taken five years ago, when Emma Phillips was on a mission to find the perfect location for her final assignment to wrap up her photography course.
Her vision was to capture images of an industrial location near the city of Melbourne but this proved to be quite an arduous process.
Instead, she left her hometown and spent two months in the Nullabor Plain out in the Western Australian desert.
There she came across an abandoned salt refinery and found exactly what she was looking for




For the first time, the photographer has published the photos in her book ‘Salt’ which shows the vastly treeless landscape of the Nullabor Plain.
The whole experience was ‘desolate, eerie and beautiful’, the 25-year-old told Daily Mail Australia.
She was particularly impressed with the way ‘the buildings seemed to disappear and the way the salt shimmered in the sun’.
About 18 images have been published in ‘Salt’, which is available online.
