What is your definition of Fashion?

Which outfit do you want to buy for your birthday this time? Which haircut do you want to have the next time you go to salon? or What kind of footwear you want to buy once the sale starts?

Well, I am sure the answer will be "whatever is on fashion then"!

While my definition of Fashion is not what brands and trends give us but what we feel comfortable in but majority of us don't think alike. Most of us try to customize our lifestyle not the way we like but what others may like. The general mindset of the people regarding fashion is "something which is latest and not outdated" and "something which if not followed may not be appreciated but will definitely be ridiculed". I suppose the manner we wear and the grace with which we carry the products we buy, exhibits our fashion sense.

Coming to the changing trends, the variety in products and creating brand image through advertisements and endorsements are all marketing strategies at the cost of environment. Even with birth of companies like H&M and Zara, fashion has shifted gears more drastically who produces non eco-friendly products to keep the manufacturing speed high and manufacturing cost low.
It is sad that we, being the victims of the marketing gimmick, judge others not by the qualities they possess but the products they use.

Interesting piece of trivia: Before 19th century, no bride in Christianity used to wear a white gown but after Queen Victoria wore one, it became a trend and now a tradition. We cannot even imagine a Christian wedding without the white gown with a big veil walking down the aisle.

Hope people start understanding the two simple concepts of life before its too late:
 "Life is not about impressing others but expressing oneself".
"No harm in being a fashionista unless you don't hurt the Mother earth".

Ponder over your definition of fashion now!

The existence of Gods

Imagine a color that you have never seen? Can you? I am sure No. Similarly when it comes to the question of Gods, its beyond imagination. Nobody has ever seen God. Nobody has ever heard him speak. Now the mystery is what about their existence when reality is the manifestation of our imagination and Gods remain beyond our imagination. Even if we try to draw, carve or give them a shape, we take references from the mythological books and mythology is derived from the term "myth" which means disbelief. It is a matter of surprise that we take pride in creating Gods who has created all of us. We think we can control the emotions of The supreme power which controls everything. Since the times immemorial, man has fought among themselves in the name of God. Some believe that God is ubiquitous, some say they dwell somewhere in the stars, some say they incarnate in humans and so on. Different people have different notions about the existence of god. This is the reason why the mo...

Handwriting is a Reflection of Personality

"Handwriting is an imprint of self on page”- Dr. Rosemary Sassoon Handwriting speaks volumes of an individual. The way we frame our words on a page  showcases the state of our heart as well as the mind.  For instance, the chaotic handwritten words along with an array of errors give an impression of our confused state of mind whereas, on the other hand, a good handwriting is a synonym of an enthusiastic, organized and a disciplined individual. Even when considering the scientific perspective, the importance of good handwriting stands strong.The impulses from the brain, travel all the way through to the hand and the fingers, to allow the reproduction of the thoughts into a readable composition of words. It is a complex process involving the precise coordination of the brain and the hand. Thus, good handwriting is  an indicator of excellent mind and motor coordination . Other than the insight of the personality, handwriting also helps in communication. Since writing ...
