Amazing home building in Afghanistan

Houses of Afghanistan are a made out of mud brick or concrete to keep the heat out.  In the mountainous Afgghasitan, local builders are facing the challenge of constructing houses. The rooms are spacious and cool in the hot climate and warm in the cold nights. The temperture distribution below shows Kabul temperature over the year.

The following photographs show an Afghanistan village with remarkable houses in a natural mountain.

Welcome to aummuruga blog

From the first country to stage Junior Olympics Games, I welcome all the viewers of my blog from the Republic of Singapore. I came back to Singapore (lived in from 1981 to 1988) after living in Sydney for the past 22 years. I wish to communicate with a wider audience through this blog from the Youth Olympics Village at the Nanyang Technological University.

The main purpose of my attempt in this to share my knowledge and experience. I had chosen aummuruga as my blog name for two reasons. Firstly, I started the Aum Muruga Society (AMS) in 1998 in Sydney, Australia and edited the first quarterly Hindu Journal in English, known as Aum Muruga Journal. Through AMS, I produced hundreds of videos containings religious and spiritual talks, interviews and hindu temple functions. Secondly, Lord Murugan is non-other than Lord of Gnana or Supreme knowledge. His symbol Vel shape is spear, symbolise the knowledge should be shrap, broad and deep. He is everlasting young and considered as Tamil God. Being born in Nallur, Jaffna my personal God is Lord Muruga.

May Lod Muruga gives me the needed wisdom to make the aumuruga blog to be useful materials needed to the development of useful knowledge. Once again I welcome all of you to my blog, aummurga. Your feedback and comments are welcome.
