‘Of Mangoes and Monsoons’
San Diego, CA (Vocus) September 15, 2010 Book enthusiasts will travel back in time to the Goa and India of fifty years ago to find compelling facts as they immerse themselves into author Suresh Kanekar’s Of Mangoes and Monsoons. Released through Xlibris, this book is a fascinating literary work on ideals, civil rights, independence, and a young man’s determination.
The novel is the story of Ramesh Natekar, born into a Hindu Vaishya family of Goa, who has to face the caste prejudice of people around him to the point of losing his sweetheart because of her superior caste. Ramesh holds a degree in philosophy and is committed to a life of scholarship when he finds himself drawn into the freedom movement of Goa. His participation in the freedom struggle lands him in jail for more than five years, and also into minor and major conflicts with police and prison authorities. The novel describes with accuracy the historical events of the middle of the last century and presents snapshots of the history, geography, and culture of the Goa and India of that period. The narrative is full of digressions into ethics, philosophy, and religion, along with a sprinkling of linguistic escapades.
The novel is partly based on actual events including the personal experiences of the author, who himself had been a participant in the freedom struggle and a political prisoner for more than five years. He also had the rare privilege of being present at the formal surrender of the Portuguese governor-general of Goa, Vassalo e Silva, to Brigadier Dhillon of the Indian army, on the night of December 19, 1961.
“Kanekar’s debut is both a historical novel of midcentury India and a portrait of the philosopher as a young man. India freed itself from English colonial rule and became a nation on Aug. 15, 1947… As Kanekar adds detail and depth to his protagonist’s portrait, Ramesh’s own development becomes a metaphor for the maturation of Goa, and Ramesh’s labors and triumphs mirror those of his homeland. Kanekar writes with a sure hand, artfully blending historical analysis, personal narrative and philosophical digression into a satisfying whole. A fascinating appendix to the struggle for Indian independence…”—Kirkus Discoveries
This book will be featured at this year’s Frankfurt International Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 6-10, 2010. For more information, log on to Xlibris.com.

Delight in Nancy Khosa’s Scrumptious Saffron Plate
Jenkintown, PA (Vocus) October 5, 2010 Nearly three hundred thousand Kashmiri Hindus suffered an internal exodus in 1989 and none of them have been able to go back in the last twenty years. Most of these people have settled in various parts of the globe and their eating habits have had to merge with those of the host communities. Since most of the recipes for foods individuals eat and cook have been passed down to generations by word of mouth, author Nancy Khosa thinks time has come for penning down these recipes while people still remember them. In her new picture book, Saffron Plate, she superbly describes traditional mouth-watering Kashmiri Pandit cuisine in detail while intriguing readers of its rich colorful history.
Aside from a smorgasbord of flavor-packed dishes that could satisfy every craving, this book traces the history of origin of most of the ingredients used for various recipes. Filled with images that brilliantly capture heavenly edibles, this can also serve as a reference book for anyone interested in the history of food. It also describes various influences on Kashmir cuisine from across the borders with neighboring countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Tibet, and China since the time of Nilmata Purana (6th century AD) to current time. As Khosa would say, “the impetus for writing this cookbook emanated from a desire to preserve authentic Kashmir Hindu cuisine for the youth and coming generations.”
With so many tasty entrees to try, recipes in Saffron Plate are simple and trouble-free that even the novice would never have a hard time; they could just concentrate on being instant chefs in their own kitchens. This book will be featured at this year’s Frankfurt International Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany on October 6 to 10, 2010. For more information, log on to Xlibris.com.

Louis Vuitton Celebrates Diwali
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 2, 2010 Louis Vuitton will celebrate Diwali in its global network of stores, starting November 5th, 2010. From Beirut to Shanghai and from Johannesburg to Oslo, Vuitton stores will be lit up with elegant displays of traditional Hindu motifs, in celebrating of Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights. For Louis Vuitton, a Maison deeply steeped in values of transmitting heritage and traditions, Diwali will be a wonderful occasion to share its values with visitors worldwide in an atmosphere of joy and festivity. The two month long festivities in November and December 2010 will also be a tribute to Louis Vuitton’s special relationship with India which dates back to almost a century.
Louis Vuitton & India : A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
In the 1920’s, Indian Maharajas placed special orders for elaborate and luxurious trunks and remained Louis Vuitton’s most distinguished and exclusive clients. The first Louis Vuitton store opened in New Delhi in 2003 and in a short span of seven years, the store network has grown to five stores in three major Indian cities, the latest one in Mumbai inaugurated as recently as January 2010.
Louis Vuitton has always endeavoured to be as close and involved with the India of today, the emerging economy that occupies an increasingly important place in the globalized world, as with the traditional India, the country of exceptional arts, crafts and the written word.
In 2009, Louis Vuitton presented a retrospective exhibition on India, in New Delhi and Mumbai, through an extraordinary collection of photographs and films, commissioned and collected by Albert Kahn, the famous French humanist and philanthropist. Louis Vuitton also has a close relationship with India’s dynamic world of art, and has for example showcased, in 2006, “India of the senses”: a thematic exhibition of Indian and French contemporary artists at the Espace Louis Vuitton in Paris. Louis Vuitton has collaborated renewed collaborations with Indian artists such as Anish Kapoor or Sudarshan Shetty, thus paying homage to the dynamic creativity of India today.
Diwali : MYTHOLOGICAL ORIGINS
Numerous myths exist about how the festival originated. The most commonly accepted origin of Diwali dates back to the 3rd century B.C. to the Ramayana epic. Rama, a Hindu god, was a dutiful son and to respect his Father’s wishes, he willingly surrendered his right to the throne to a younger brother and went into exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. During this period in the forest, Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, the demon King of Lanka whom Rama defeated in battle. After fourteen long years in exile, Rama returned home to his kingdom Ayodhya.
To welcome him, their rightful king, and to express their boundless joy the people of Ayodhya wore new clothes, lit oil lamps illuminating every house and street, set off fire-crackers and distributed sweets. The origin of Diwali lies in this celebration of the victory of good over evil that cherishes family values of love, respect and harmony. In today’s world, where values of peace and harmony seem to lose importance, Louis Vuitton wishes to make a gesture by uniting all its stores around this Indian festival, which symbolises light, joy, optimism and new beginnings.
Louis Vuitton & Diwali : WINDOWS
Louis Vuitton & Diwali : CELEBRATING CRAFTSMANSHIP
Furthermore, a new “Louis Vuitton fabric”, designed by the Louis Vuitton studio with a mix of Monogram flowers and Indian traditional motifs, has been specially woven for this occasion by Indian craftsmen. These fabrics, which come in two colours in cotton and in silk, will be transformed by Louis Vuitton into three existing Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear pieces and a scarf. Sometimes in pink and sea green-coloured silk, sometimes in radiant ivory cotton, these creations celebrate the femininity and elegance of a thoroughly modern woman. Symbol of a delicate marriage of Indian heritage, know-how and Louis Vuitton creativity, these pieces will be available

It can often be difficult for single people with an Indian background to find a suitable partner. Indians now live in many countries around the globe in substantial numbers but still find themselves reasonably alone. The issue hasn’t just been to find romance and marriage but also religion sometimes makes the matching difficult. This is no longer the case it seems. Until recently, marriages were arranged in India by the families of the bride and groom. However, migration has played havoc with some of the previous marriage traditions. Many Indian singles, living both in and out of India, are now preferring to find their own marriage partners. Finding marriage partners can be tricky enough with any dating service. Indian matrimonial sites are well aware of the additional sensitivities of the modern Indian single. Many dating sites dedicated to Indian singles allow their members to find romance through special categories such as religion and nationality. This is highly advantageous for the Indian living out of India who may want a partner who has been brought up in India. It is also fantastic for the single Indian looking for a partner out of India, but who still respects Indian traditions. The religious categories ensure that not only will your spouse be Indian but will also share the same religious practices and philosophies. Hindu singles, Muslim singles, Christian singles, Sikh singles, Jewish singles,as well as Jain, Parsi, and Buddhists are all categorized and catered for on a professional Indian dating site. All religious standards are catered for from the extremely strict to the relatively relaxed. You can even add mother tongue as a selection category. The choices in languages on some dating sites were far too many to even start mentioning. Indian dating sites allow Indian singles the opportunity to get to know their potential spouses before a marriage is arranged. Online dating services and photo profiles can be fantastic options for seeking matrimony without compromising reputations. Times have chamged too. In that, finding your own partner and introducing that potential partner to your parents is now more common place. What to look for in an Indian dating site? * a large membership base is a great start as there will be more singles to select from. Indian dating sites provide all the advantages of modern technology to bring Indian singles together from all over the globe. You no longer need to feel socially or culturally isolated. There is a perfect match out there for you who shares your heritage and religious beliefs. Billy Baker is an advisor to the dating and relationship industry and has supplied this review on Indian Dating sites.

India is known for its rich cultural heritage and diversity. Likewise, Indian weddings draw a lot of attention by virtue of being a long lasting lavish affair. Stated below are some fun facts about Indian ‘Hindu’ weddings, the most elaborate of all Indian weddings: 1. Indian Hindu weddings can take place only on the days that are declared auspicious according to the astrologers. The families are required to consult with the priest, in order to determine the best date for the wedding ceremony. 2. In most Hindu families, it is important to determine the horoscope compatibility of the bride and the groom, before they can actually tie the knot. The families want to know whether the two people getting into matrimony will have a harmonious and long lasting marriage. The horoscopes also supposedly forecast if there is any possibility that the groom’s stars jeopardize the life of the bride in the course of marriage, or vice versa. 3. An Indian Hindu wedding is a long affair. The wedding can take place days or months after the actual engagement, or ring ceremony, that takes place in the presence of all important family members. 4. Before the wedding, numerous other ceremonies and events can be observed by the Indian families, according to their social and financial status. In a lavish affair, the ‘mehendi’ or henna evening and bridal shower precede the wedding ceremony. 5. The traditional ‘mehendi’ event is held at the bride’s place, where all the female relatives and friends of the bride team up to paint her hands with mehendi or henna. They make beautiful designs on the bride’s hands and feet, and often include the groom’s name in their art. 6. Since most Indian weddings take place overnight, and the rituals last for hours, the entire day of the wedding is spent in beautifying the bride and the groom. Turmeric paste, which has herbal healing and cleansing properties according to Ayurveda, is rubbed all over the bodies of the couple. Turmeric lightens the skin and brings a golden glow to it. These efforts are essential as the Indian people are always expected to look their very best and most radiant during their wedding. 7. Both the bride and the groom are not allowed to meet each other or even leave the house after the turmeric application ritual. 8. The family of the groom arrives at the bride’s house, amidst a blaze of dancing and singing. The procession, which is called the ‘Baraat’, is welcomed lavishly by the bride’s family with gifts flowers and garlands. 9. The wedding takes place in two parts. The onstage event pertains with the bride and the groom exchanging garlands in front of friends and families. This event is followed by a reception and photo sessions. Later, after dinner, the families go ahead to perform the actual ceremony, where the groom and the bride walk around the fire seven times, and each round corresponds to a marriage vow, which they promise to abide by. 10. Towards the end of the ceremony, the groom sprinkles ‘Sindoor’, which is a red holy powder, in the bride’s hair parting. Being a symbol of marriage, the ‘Sindoor’ is supposed to adorn the bride’s head as long as she remains married. Find out more facts and quizzes or dive into world of fun general knowledge!
