George Orwell's birthplace

       George Orwell was, as you no doubt well know, born in Motihari, in Bihar, India. Okay, maybe you don't remember -- you wouldn't be alone, and that might be one of the reasons his birthplace has fallen into ... disrepair over the years. Still, they've been working on doing something with it, and the Times of India now reports that Renovation of George Orwell's house in Bihar begins. (A good thing, too, as apparently in the meantime: "Orwell's birthplace was mainly targeted by encroachers".)
       For more background -- and well worth watching in any case: the documentary Orwell ... ! but why ... ? on YouTube.
