The
Javanese breed of cat is generally used to refer to Balinese cats that don’t
have the typical modern Balinese markings or colorings (so cats that are not
brown, silver or blue).
The
Javanese cat has soft, shiny fur and can often be found with features closely
resembling the Siamese cat. The Javanese cat is a popular household cat around the
world and adores human attention.
The
Javanese cat has very social tendencies and therefore can become distressed if
they are on their own. The Javanese cat is also known to be a fairly noise
breed of domestic cat.
The calm
and devoted temperament of the Javanese cat makes it a very popular breed of
cat to be kept as a household pet, as the Javanese cat is often very
affectionate towards both humans and other
animals.
Due to the
fact that the Javanese cat is directly related to the Siamese cat and the
Balinese cat, it has picked defects as well as assets from its ancestors or
though today, cats have been bred so extensively that native defects are often
bred out of the breed.

The Taj Mahal is the epitome of Mughal
art and one of the most famous buildings in the world. Yet there have been few
serious studies of it and no full analysis of its architecture and meaning.
Ebba Koch, an important scholar, has been permitted to take measurements
of the complex and has been working on the palaces and gardens of Shah Jahan
for thirty years and on the Taj Mahal itself—the tomb of the emperor's wife, Mumtaz
Mahal—for a decade.
The tomb is the
representation of the house of the queen in Paradise, and its setting was
based on the palace gardens of the great nobles that lined both sides of the
river at Agra India. You will explore the entire complex
of the Taj Mahal with an explanation of each building and an account of the
mausoleum's urban setting, its design and construction, its symbolic meaning,
and its history up to the present day.

(Arjumand Bano Begum), the wife of Shah. 20.000 workers labored and 32 crore

My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an
American movie called The Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change
when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting
film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific Ocean.
Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the
plane had crashed. So the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the
jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the
passengers were eating raw fish and meat. After they had been on the island for
two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away to find help. But their
boat sank and they were drowned.
The film ended without saying whether the passengers were
rescued or not. But my sister and I enjoyed the film.
