The Gaagrah and Choli, Churidar, Kurtha and the variety of
shawls and turbans and other head gear. Elaborate traditional jewellery and bold make-up with flowers
adorning the hair twirled in to long plaits. These are all what India
reflected as home grown fashion. In fact they were all rather home grown
traditional way of day to day living. What we are witnessing today is a follow-up to all the above,
ultimately has avenued out into multitudes of styles and trends still
retaining its past glory in most cases. But it is also not unusual to be
caught by surprise by designers who come out with a line of clothes that

The taller varieties of paperwhites have a tendency to flop, particularly during unseasonably warm weather, when they can put on too much top growth. This is easily remedied by supporting the plant using a “cat’s cradle” of twigs and lengths of raffia. Pots of paperwhite narcissus are guaranteed to brighten the depths of winter, bringing the scent of spring into your home a couple of months early.

Fans want to be able to feel the lyrics, knowing that they represent a window to the soul of the singer — which perhaps explains the demise of one-hit wonders Right Said Fred and their vanity-driven pop ditty, I’m Too Sexy. I was reminded of this artistic association as I read a newspaper column headed "Barnesy: I can’t stop my spending". The original working-class man admitted to being addicted to spending, and in the tradition of rock’n'roll had squandered a couple of fortunes on booze, drugs and partying.
