Me a Penguin in the tide."

Did not he sleep in the depths of the frozen sea, to rise once to the shallows with the power of the years
which adorned his dwelling place. It is from the Wandoor Beach in Port Blair in 2000. Walked a long distance
in the shallow waters of the low tide; collected this piece, which was totally covered by fungus and placed
amidst corals. Cleaned and became alive. It is now believed that the number of curves seen on the wood
indicates the length of time in centuries for which the specimen was in the sea.
