SUMMARY:Talk for Rotary Club Chennai on Food & Faith
DESCRIPTION:Jalebi\, peda\, payasam … stories about temples\,\ntemple prasadams – and much more !\nDear Southerners\, \nSweet news! On Tuesday\, May 4\, 2021\, India’s best magazine writer – Bangalore-based Shoba Narayan – will address our club. Topic?  It is about faith and food. Temples and their prasadams– and the magnificent devotional ardour of India’s millions that sustains both. \nHer talk will be based on her latest book Food and Faith\, A Pilgrim’s Journey through India\,  where Shoba discusses not merely temple prasadams\, but temple history\, myth and legend. She explores India’s heart and mind\, and her own quest as a spiritual seeker. \nIf Shoba Narayan is irresistible as a writer\, she is articulate\, engaging and engrossing as a speaker. Ask Carnegie Melon university\,  a number of American colleges\, IIM Bangalore\,  the Bangalore International Centre\, the Chennai International Centre. \nThree years ago Shoba had agreed to address our club during a planned visit to Chennai. But the trip got cancelled because her father fell ill.  During the past year\, Covid-19 has kept this inveterate traveller in Bangalore\, and Zoom has enabled her rendezvous with Madras South. \nThe magazine writer \nShoba has written five books and a few hundred articles on travel\, food\, fashion\, family life\, lifestyles\, music\, wine\, culture\, crafts and nature. Where? In The New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\,  Time\, Newsweek\, Atlantic\, Gourmet\, Travel and Leisure\, Food and Wine\, Mint\, Hindustan Times!  The royalty of journalism in the US and Europe has been eating out of her hand. She has won a James Beard Award for her food writing\, several other awards. \nShe is a splendid and evocative story-teller – whether she writes about the Dalai Lama\, Nandan Nilekani\, film-maker Shekar Dattatri\, potters\, weavers and art historians\, geisha dancers in Japan\, Italian fashion\, Chinese food\, singers and dancers\, her mother or mother-in-law\, family reunions on Internet. \nI have saved several of Shoba’s articles in my computer\, as I have been reluctant to delete such lovely stuff.  Browsing through these articles is always a pleasure. Just as it is to listen to a timeless Lata\, Kishore\, Asha or Rafi gem\, even if one has heard it many times. Some writers excel in description\, some in narration\, some in dialogue. Shoba is good in all three. \nSays a fan “She writes with humor and love on most topics and never puts herself above the character or situation. It is this empathy combined with her inherent humanism that shines through in her writing. \n“Shoba sees the universe in a grain of rice and is able to shed light on macro issues through a micro lens. She tackles big subjects through amusing every-day anecdotes.” \nShoba Narayan graduated in psychology at Women’s Christian College\, Chennai; studied fine arts at Mount Holyoake College\, Massachusetts; and obtained a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University\, New York. She won a Pulitzer Travelling Fellowship\, awarded to the top three at Columbia. Then followed a rich\, prolific and many-splendoured career as author and columnist. \nIn her own words\, “I am a feminist who likes men\, drinks wine\, and wears high heels or lipstick occasionally.” \n“I watch birds\, bees\, butterflies and moths\, usually from my balcony.  I’m a birdwatcher\, wine-drinker and gadget geek. I would like to retreat to a forest when I retire.” \nHer lifelong mission “is to get fit without exercising and lose weight without dieting.” \n“What I currently love best is anchoring multi-media projects\,’ says Shoba. “I have worked with select brands to create websites that highlight brand values with cultural traditions such as textiles\, jewellery\, perfumes and crafts.” \n  \nHer books \nShoba’s five  books are Monsoon Diary (which alternates autobiography and food between chapters\, and includes  21 favourite food recipes);  Katha: tell a story and sell a dream (aimed at business leaders to help them sell their messages and dreams); Return to India (about the eternal dilemma of Indian migrants in the US – whether to stay there or return);  The milk lady of Bangalore (about encounters of the bovine kind\, both serious and funny); and most recently\, Food and Faith\, a Pilgrim’s  Journey through India (referred to earlier in this circular)\, \nSays she about her books\,  “I write non-fiction memoirs that are rooted in India\, have a touch of humor\, and deal with relationships\, identity and traditions.” \nHer latest book\, and her Rotary Club of Madras talk \nAt our meeting of May 4\, Shoba will show us a beautiful audio-visual highlighting several temples and their prasadams described in some detail in the book Food and Faith. (The Ajmer mosque and the Amritsar gurudwara also figured in her pilgrim journey.) \nShe visited Udupi\, Kashi\, Ajmer\, Palani\, Mumbai\, Madurai\, Jaipur\, Goa\, Thiruvananthapuram\, Amritsar\, Puri\, Kumbh Mela\, Patan (in Nepal)\, Ambalapuzha and Mathura. Tirupathi wasn’t included because it’s already very well-known. \nThe temple food she describes (some of it with delectable detail and anecdotage)  includes Udupi’s masala dosa; the jalebi and kachori in Kashi; besan ka sheera in Kashi;  peda in Mathura; orange-coloured kesaria bhaat in Ajmer; the panchamritham of Palani; Jewish halwa in Mumbai; sweet pongal\, melon rice\, tamarind rice and Azhagar kovil dosai in Madurai; bisi bele baath soaked in ghee in Madurai; laddu and rabdi in Jaipur; unni appam in Thiruvananthapuram; dal roti\, subzi and kheer in Amritsar; puri\, kachoris\, samosas\, jalebi and lassi at the Kumbh Mela; paal payasam at Ambalapuzha. \nShoba remarks: “Have you heard the sizzle of a jalebi early in the morning? It is the most beautiful sound in the world.” She wouldn’t mind a Kashi-type jalebi-kachori breakfast every day! \nShe says “I am attracted to the beauty of Hindu rituals\, to its pujas\, pomp and circumstance. At the same time\, I like Christian gospel music\, Budhist philosophy\, Sufi poetry\, Jewish literature\, Sikh generosity\, Parsi identity. In India\, we are lucky enough to be able to experience them all\, enjoy them all.” \nSoutherners – Tuesday March 9\, 2021\, will be special. Temples\, food and Shoba Narayan! A combo you will remember a long long time. See you then! \nS R Madhu \n \nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			Like this:Like Loading…

Do you pray? Is religion part of your identity or does it make you uncomfortable? To answer these and other questions\, Shoba Narayan approaches faith through perhaps its most primal and nourishing aspect: food. She partakes of sacred food in shrines across India– Puri’s bhog\, Amritsar’s langar\, Palani’s panchamirtham\, Mathura’s pedas\, Ambalapuzha’s paal-payasam\, Kashi’s sweets\, Jaipur’s rabdi\, Ajmer’s kesaria bhat\, Madurai’s dosai\, Jewish halva in Mumbai\, and communal feasts in Udupi\, Goa and the Kumbh Mela. Sacred food is linked to history\, myth\, and identity of specific shrines and their faithful. Food & Faith explores this powerful yet intimate connection. \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShoba Narayan\nAuthor & Journalist\n\nShoba Narayan has written about food and faith for over two decades. She was the Hinduism columnist for Beliefnet and won the James Beard MFK Fisher Award for distinguished food writing. She has been a correspondent for Gourmet magazine and has written about culture\, food and faith in her columns and essays for Hindustan Times and The National Abu Dhabi. Food & Faith brings together two of Shoba’s passions: spirituality and food. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSreelakshmi Gururaja\nSocial Scientist & Epicure\n\nSreelakshmi Gururaja is an active BIC member since 2005. In addition to being a social scientist\, keenly interested in governance\, a child rights and gender equality\, Sree is a fantastic curator of culture\, a terrific cook and enjoys planning and cooking gourmet meals for her friends and relatives.

SUMMARY:Seeing Scents: Perfumes in ancient India
DESCRIPTION:What are the smells that permeate India? Is it the smell of falling rain? Of Pandanus (ketaki) flowers? How do Indians use perfumes? Is it layered or linear? Sandalwood paste on body\, sambrani incense using agarwood on hair\, cloves to chew on. In this talk about scents and seeing\, Shoba Narayan talks to author and professor\, James McHugh about thereligious and cultural role of smell in India throughout the first millennium CE. The conversation touches upon sophisticated arts of perfumery\, developed in temples\, monasteries\, and courts\, which resulted in worldwide ocean trade of materials ranging from jasmine to cardamom. They discuss the pleasures of the senses\, and the values they evoke. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames McHugh\nAssociate Professor\, University of Southern California\n\nJames McHugh studies the history and religions of early India\, working with texts in Sanskrit and related languages. He completed his Ph.D. at Harvard University in 2008\, and is now associate professor at the University of Southern California. His book “Sandalwood and Carrion: Smell in Indian Religion and Culture” (OUP: 2012) explored the meanings of odors\, perfumes\, and aromatics in India. He is currently finishing a book on alcohol\, drinking\, and abstinence in Indian history and religion\, tentatively titled “An Unholy Brew.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShoba Narayan\nAuthor & Journalist\n\nShoba Narayan is the author of four books and a columnist with Hindustan Times Brunch magazine. She writes about food\, travel\, fashion\, art and culture for many national and international publications. She is the overseas correspondent for Radio New Zealand. She has taught at IIM-Bangalore and the Indian Institute of Science. Besides writing\, she watches birds\, quaffs wine\, and enjoys gadgets. Her lifelong mission is to get fit without exercising and lose weight without dieting. \n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:Book Talk with the Madras Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nFormal Invite visible here \n \n\n \nMADRAS BOOK CLUB\n  \ncordially invites you to an online meeting \nvia Zoom \nwith Shoba Narayan \non Wednesday\, July 29\, 2020\, at 6 p.m. \nShe will speak on \n“My journey as writer and author” \n(We’ll give you the link to the online meeting \non the morning of July 29). \n      Profile of Shoba Narayan  Bangalore-based Shoba Narayan is a classy writer\, author and journalist. The  author of four books\, she writes about travel\, food\, fashion\, family life\, wine\, culture\, crafts and nature\, for a number of national and international publications. (These include the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\,  Time\, Newsweek\,Atlantic\, Gourmet\, Travel and Leisure\, Food and Wine\, Hindustan Times and Mint.)  She has won a James Beard Award for her food writing and a Pulitzer Fellowship. She has taught and lectured at universities. She founded and co-created a website called Project LooM\, which documents the handloom traditions of India. In her own words\, she is a “birdwatcher\, wine-drinker and gadget geek.” Her lifelong mission “is to get fit without exercising and lose weight without dieting.” Her four books are “Monsoon diary” (which describes her own life and also contains 21 favourite food recipes);   “Katha: tell a story and sell a dream” (aimed at business leaders to help them sell their messages and dreams); “Return to India” (about the migrant’s eternal dilemma – whether to stay abroad or return);   and “The milk lady of Bangalore” (about encounters of the bovine kind\, both serious and funny). All the four have been widely reviewed and acclaimed. Says she about her books\,  “I write non-fiction memoirs that are rooted in India\, have a touch of humor\, and deal with relationships\, identity and traditions.” “I also write essays\, columns and opinion pieces. I travel to report on issues and events. I review hotels\, gadgets and classes. I interview and profile people and places.” She is a splendid and evocative story-teller – whether she writes about the Dalai Lama\, Nandan Nilekani\, film-maker Shekar Dattatri\, potters\, weavers and art historians\, a geisha dancer in Japan\, Italian fashion\, Chinese food\, her mother or mother-in-law\, family reunions on Internet.  Says a fan “She writes with humor and love on most topics and never puts herself above the character or situation. It is this empathy combined with her inherent humanism that shines through in her writing. “Shoba sees the universe in a grain of rice and is able to shed light on macro issues through a micro lens. She tackles big subjects through amusing every-day anecdotes. Her strength lies in focusing her laser-like attention on commonplace events\, incidents and situations and then parting the veil so that we walk through to the other side.” She graduated in psychology at Women’s Christian College\, Chennai; studied fine arts as a Foreign Fellow at Mount Holyoake College\, Massachusetts; and obtained a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University\, New York. She says “Informally\, I study and practice acupuncture\, alternative healing\, movement therapies\, mindfulness\, and everything linked to the mind-body connection. “I am an enthusiastic if poor dancer. I learned Bharata Natyam. I sing Indian classical Carnatic music. Have a Soundcloud account. “I watch birds\, bees\, butterflies and moths\, usually from my balcony. I would like to retreat to a forest when I retire. “I am a feminist who likes men\, drinks wine\, and wears high heels or lipstick occasionally.” The daughter of a college professor\, Shoba loves to teach and engage with new ideas. She has taught courses at IIM Bangalore\, the Indian Institute of Science\,  Bangalore and other institutions. She has lectured at Carnegie Mellon University and other US colleges. “What I currently love best is anchoring multi-media projects\,’ says Shoba. “I have worked with select brands to create websites that highlight brand-values with cultural traditions such as textiles\, jewellery\, perfumes and crafts. Customizing content for short and long attention spans is an art and a skill.” In her talk at MBC on Wednesday\, July 29\, 2020\, Shoba will take us through her remarkable journey as a writer and author – with her customary wit\, fluency  and panache.     \n  \n  \n  \n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			Like this:Like Loading…
