Arts & Humanities - 6 October 2006

I read it a long time ago, and I don't remember its author. The book is titled "The Ninth Man". It is a war novel; an assassination attempt on Roosevelt. I want to get a copy again. But nobody seems to have heard of it. Can anyone help?

Hi. our dormitory room is ugly and dull, typical dorm that was bulit during socialism. We want to somehow decorate it and we decided to put our artworks there. So i should produce something. I have paper, water and tempera colours, graphite, colour pencils, paste, scissors and absolutely no artistic skills. My pictures look like work of 7-8 old child :-) (im 18) Is there something that even i would manage to do?

Context was something like dis

The gopis (cowherd maids), though lacking in worldly education and intelligence, were pure at heart and deeply devoted to Lord Krishna. The ladies in Repalle used to go to the house of Nanda and Yashoda every evening and light their oil lamps from the one kept in front of their house. That was the tradition in those days. Even now, this practice is in vogue in some villages. The tradition has originated from the belief that if they lighted their lamp from that kept in the house of a wealthy householder, they would also become prosperous. Nevertheless, not all the mothers-in-law in Repalle would permit their daughters-in-law to go to the house of Yashoda for this purpose.

They were afraid that if they were allowed to go and see Krishna there, they may, out of their devotion, get mad and run after Him. Therefore, they used to chide their daughters-in-law, saying, "Can't we light the lamp in our own house? Why should we get it from their house?"

I ask this question because I agree that it steroetypes Indians, yet it stereotypes them as brave warriors. And also, on top of this, how often would people (Non-Indians) think about Native Americans if it wasnt for these team names subtly reminding us. In so many ways, it is a reminder of the Native American past...both the strong, brave side of their culture as well as the extermination side created by European explorers.

I mean, I hold the pick between the side of my index finger and the pad of my thumb. My index finger naturally wants to stretch out all the way. If I let it stretch out, then it touches the strings because the last joint of my index finger extends beyond the length of the pick. So I curl my index finger into my hand. It takes a big effort to keep the index finger curled up. It keeps coming uncurled as I play. Will it eventually just stay there if I keep trying to curl it in? Or will it always be that way? I'm still unsure of the most efficient way to hold the pick. I've tried a bunch of different grips and I just want to use a grip that will not limit my progress due to its inefficiency. So, will the index finger eventually stay where I want it? What's the most efficient way to hold the pick? Any playing tips would be appreciated.
