Thanks for sharing the article especially as today is Ekadashi here in Calgary. It was very nice to read and brought back many happy memories about Sri Rangam. I want to share it in the Sri Vaishnavam magazine.
Ramya had mentioned that Raghav enjoyed the cake she had made even though he doesn’t have a sweet tooth! So cute..I don’t have sweet tooth either!
Everyone compliments the way I make garlands. I want to thank you because you taught me how to make garlands when you were here. I have attached a picture of the sample rose garland.
Appa overdid his prayers for rain that it continues to pour down every day with rain mixed with hail! It doesn’t feel like Calgary! Calgary has never had any funnel clouds but now almost every day they show photos

    Both articles, Julie Schimmel’s Inventing the Indian and Leonard Bell’s Artist and Empire: Victorian Representation of Subject People, delve into the topic of native people and their representation and misrepresentation in artwork. Bell’s writing dives a bit deeper in my opinion in terms of his historical analysis than Julie Schimmel’s. Schimmel’s writing comes from the viewpoint that leans more toward the side of art history rather than historical and tends to brush over the historical relationship between the whites and the Indians. I should note that she does go into enough detail so that a reader with no prior knowledge of the already strained relationship between the Native Americans and the White Americans would be able to understand…

    Walker Evans I was assigned to write about Walker Evans, born in the USA (1903-1975) who is considered a noticeable American photographer during his time, his art is considered influential during the twentieth century because he is considered a creator in the documentary style in the American photography. His photographs documented American life and culture during 30’s/70’s. I believe his journey through photography is a journey through concept, belief, and art history. At the beginning of his practice Evans admired and reflected the American history as his work documents the actual lifestyle of poor common people, it also described some of their agony and misery, this is why his art became a record that describes the important lifestyle during that time. This was all during the black and white photography technique at his early starts.…

    The worst food ever is mofongo. The dish mofongo comes from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is a place where plantains are loved and always eaten. But the Puerto Ricans may have gone a bit far with this dish despite plantains being the main ingredient. Mofongo is the worst food because it tastes weird, it is too dry, and it is too crumby.…

    Siddhartha Gautama transformed history in the fifth century BCE. When the famous Indian prince renounced his royal life and reached nirvana, the Buddhist philosophy was born. Being the first Buddha, he became the inspiration for all iconic Buddhist art. Although artistic styles, visual conventions, and iconography change over time, the iconography of the classic anthropomorphic Buddha, first developed in northern India, managed to span the tests of time and expand into other regions of Asia such as Thailand and Cambodia centuries later. Keep in mind that the original Indian Buddhist artists did not believe in representing the Buddha in an anthropomorphic form.…

    A metaphor to thoroughly interpret my own cultural identity would be the coconut delicacy known as Haupia. Not only for its elegant perplexion, but for the soft clouded stature that belongs to this alien creature, which taste is only permitted to the fortunate few occupying the native islands of Hawaii. Another perplex root in the tree of my culture is Lei-making. The breathtaking row of an aligned set of flowers to form the Lei is one of the prime connections to the base of the hawaiian culture by contributing to the ancient craft itself. A more well-known phenomenon that had one of its origins among the islands of Hawaii and is still dwelled upon to this day is surfing.…

    The theft of rangatiratanga from Māori by Pākehā in New Zealand is closely intertwined with the loss and subsequent revitalisation of Te Reo. Both rangatiratanga and Te Reo are essential Māori culture – to lose just one is for Māori culture to be diminished. Māori culture has faced strong opposition since the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. To understand rangatiratanga today, it is important to turn to history.…
