The Hindu holy books.

Ernakaulam, 17-11-1994. The jewish synagogue in Cochin is very interesting, especially when you are jewish. But even when you`re not you can`t but be impressed! Only a mere hundert meter further up the street is the Matkunderry Fort also called the Dutch Fort. Magnificent murals depicting the Hindu holy books like the Mahabarata and the Ramayana. At the jewish synagogue they showed uas a page of the Toran , the jewish holy book, supposedly 100 yeras old. A few days ago I thaught Christina how to play chess. Now that might have been a little mistake! Despite no real previous experience, Christina picked up the essence of the game remarkably fast and actually beat me in the third game.
