Using Their Heads

Somewhere I have a picture of a parade of women carrying rocks on their heads. It seems odd in so many ways, that women do the carrying, and tht they'd carry them on their heads.

Well the first we should calk up to my internal sexism and the second to my poor understanding of chiropracty.


India is the land of culture clash and absorption. That they can exist with 30 or so languages and dialects is but one example of how the cultures adapt.
As the we try to influence the building culture here, we find that many adaptations have already occurred. When required to wear hardhats, hardhats adapted tot he local customs appeared.



The ring doesn't just accomodate rocks, but also the shallow dishes in which dirt, gravel, even concrete is carried.
