The deepest and widest well in the world

Posted by Bogdan on August 25, 2010 | No Comments

Known as bawdi or baoli in India, the wells with stairs are amazing constructions, where the access to the water is made by multiple stairs with narrow steps. The first architectural wonders of this kind were built back in 200 b.Ch. in the Western India and remained an unique attraction for this area. Nowadays, this kind of wells can be found only in India and a few regions in Pakistan. In the Medieval times, a large number of maharajahs built bawdi on their domains. In Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh hundreds remains were found.

But the deepest and largest well, and in very good shape is Chand Baori, built in the IX century in Abhaneri, Rajasthan, mirroring the Harshat Mata Temple. The well has 3500 steps, 13 stories and a depth of 30m.

PlayStation Coffee Table for the real passionate ones

Posted by elutzik on August 25, 2010 | No Comments

I think it’s great and all to have a PlayStation or a Wii console in your home and to really use it, but maybe we shouldn’t exaggerate with our gaming passion. An Australian student made this interesting and one-of-a-kind coffee table for his industrial technology class, so it’s not for sale. I’m sorry for all you game-lovers who thought that you could buy it, but maybe he will commercialize it and you will all be happy.

It has a curvy shape, and lively colored, probably because the artists we’re inspired by the children at a local Junior School. There are 2 shelters that connect the beach with the green in the path, where the bench has a lot of loops.
