A Couple of Hamburgers

"A Couple of Hamburgers" is a 1935 short story by James Thurber, the American writer, considered to be one of his best.[1][2][3][4]

It is a thumbnail sketch of a couple in a dysfunctional marriage.

It has been suggested that while "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", arguably Thurber's best-known short story, is a comical story with a tragic side, this is a tragic story with a comical side.[citation needed]

Agriculture in ancient Tamil country

During the Sangam age, 500 BCE – 300 CE, agriculture was the main vocation of the Tamil.[1] It was considered a necessity for life, and hence was treated as the foremost among all occupations.

Beaver hat

Hat made of beaver fur felt 1886 cabinet card photograph of men in beaver hats A beaver hat is a hat made from felted beaver fur. They were fashionable across much of Europe during the period 1550–1850 because the soft yet resilient material could be easily combed to make a variety of hat shapes (including the familiar top hat).[1] Smaller hats made of beaver were sometimes called beaverkins,[2] as in Thomas Carlyle's description of his wife as a child.[3] Used winte...
