The Bible doesn’t mention animals at the birth in Bethlehem. A text called the Gospel of Pseudo Matthew, now not considered Biblical, mentions an ox and an ass. St Francis invoked this in the Italian village of Greccio in 1223, creating the first Nativity tableau of Christ’s birth. He wished to emphasise Christ’s humble origins and importance for all the world, not just humans. “Laudato sie, mi Signore, cum tucte le Tue creature,” he wrote in his Canticle of the Sun: “Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures.” In time, Nativity scenes included other animals, like the sheep of the shepherds and the camels of the Magi. In other parts of the world, local animals also feature, like elephants in India, llamas in Peru and kangaroos in Australia. Oddly, pigs rarely appear in Nativity scenes. An important reason for Christianity’s success was discarding food-related taboos, like the one on pork enforced in Christ’s own Jewish community. Yet, pigs seem out of place. Does an animal raised only to be killed feel inappropriate in a scene devoted to new life?

Hemang Jani, Independent Market Expert, says realty stocks have run up quite a lot. Once there is a bit of a lull in terms of the new project launches or the sales that they are doing, the market could react a bit negatively because it is a high beta sector. So, for momentum play, quarterly numbers play, Jani would be positive on Lodha and DLF, but he is not comfortable buying them from an investment perspective. Jani also says he would stay away from Tata Motors and if he has to bet, he would go with M&M which looks to be a much better, cleaner bet at this point of time. This has been a year of consolidation for the cement sector. At the end of 2024, there are fewer players than there were at the start of 2024. But the issue is that a lot of other segments also have not played well with the cement sector, especially on the pricing front. Hemang Jani: The sector has been going through a slowdown and despite the consolidation with two major players commanding about 75-80% of the capacity, when you look at the operating performance it has not been the best that one can really expect, but there is a sense that following a pickup in infra and the government spending and the rural side recovery, we might see good growth coming back.
