The Terminal - John's Park

得失只一念 風景不轉心境轉 | 煩惱來自偏執一切也依戀 | 風吹草動 命途亂了我不亂 | 交出了平常心再隨緣

Postcrossing #13

A postcard from India! This postcard shows a scene from the state of Goa, which is a popular destination among tourists for its scenic stretches of beaches. According to wiki, I guess that is why the state’s GDP is 2.5 times than the whole country one.

The right one is a stamp of C.V. Raman. He is a famous physicist from India. According to wiki, he got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect. And the stamp comes from a set of definitive stamps called Builders of Modern India.

The left one seems is describing a scene from Gita Govinda(Song of Govinda) , which is a work composed by the 12th-century poet, Jayadeva. Seems this piece of work has great influence on Hinduism (印度教).
