In India silver rings (or rings in any other metal) are worn on all fingers, including the thumbs. The innumerable forms of metal rings can be broadly divided into those with or without a bezel (the part of the ring meant to hold a decorated device, seal or stone). Rings set with personal seals are less common today than formerly, but rings set with stones are ubiquitous. The particular stone may be chosen for reasons other than mere attractiveness. According to Hindu astrology, each of the nine planets in the Hindu universe is represented by a specific stone. Every Indian knows the planet dominant at the time of his or her birth, as it is believed to exert a strong influence on that person's life. By wearing the stone associated with the planet, its effect can be enhanced or mitigated, according to whether the planet is malign or benign.(rng287) Read more

Review & Description

The development of the upper garment, known as the kurta, probably began in the nineteenth century and it is, at present, a popular garment among men of Rajasthan. The length and girth of the kurta may both vary from region to region and it can be tailored in a variety of styles.

The kalidar kurta is made up of several geometrical pieces. It has two rectangular central panels in the back and the front. The width of these panels is equal to the shoulder size and the length varies from above the thigh to below the knees. Four, flared-side panels called kali, are attached on either side of the central panels. Their shape is roughly triangular, narrow at the top and wider at the bottom to achieve the desired fullness. This ensures a snug fit around the chest which lends the lower part a loose-flared fall. Comfort is further emphasized by deep slits at the side seam. The sleeves, which are generally full-length, are also rectangular. They are cut square at the top and the armholes are set somewhat deep. Small triangular gussets are inserted under the arms and the sleeves taper very slightly towards the wrist. The neck of the kurta is usually round; although it may sometimes also have a Chinese collar and most garments have a side pocket. The centre front-opening has a placket with buttons and buttonholes as closures. Sometimes, buttonholes are made on both sides of the placket, into which are inserted silver or gold buttons, which are held together by ornamental chains. Read more

Review & Description

“Christopher Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was a creature who would prove in many ways to be more human than I am.”
–from The Good Good Pig

A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish–and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually weighing 750 pounds) to family and home.

The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving heart made him absolute monarch over a (mostly) peaceable kingdom. At first, his domain included only Sy’s cosseted hens and her beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers brought him delicious leftovers. His intelligence and fame increased along with his girth. He was featured in USA Today and on several National Public Radio environmental programs. On election day, some voters even wrote in Christopher’s name on their ballots.

But as this enchanting book describes, Christopher Hogwood’s influence extended far beyond celebrity; for he was, as a friend said, a great big Buddha master. Sy reveals what she and others learned from this generous soul who just so happened to be a pig–lessons about self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value of community, and the pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is possible.
