The beauty of polka dots

My nephew had a function in his school. The parents were supposed to dress up in retro themed outfits. My sister asked me for my advice on retro look. She wanted to check with me whether I have any outfit that would go with the retro theme theme. I immediately said I have a Polka Dot dress and a Polka Dot top. You can pick any one of those. I showed her both of these outfits. Meanwhile she remembered that she also has a top with Polka dots. Finally she decided to wear the outfit that she already has.

This got me into thinking the relevance of Polka Dot outfits. Polka Dot is a classic pattern. For any occasion you can wear an outfit with Polka dots and the outfit would always look good. When we think of retro style we immediately come up with Polka dots. Think of any fashion icon. If they are doing any outdoor activity, there must be a picture of them in Polka Dot outfit.

I have always loved Polka Dot pattern. I also focus on classic styles hence polka dots outfits are my staples. It is a classic and a fun print. Polka dot outfits would always look cute, mature, and classic. Whenever I wear Polka Dot outfits I often get compliments from many women that the outfit looks amazing.

Though, Polka dots still work perfectly fine in the modern settings. It is a versatile pattern. You can wear Polka Dot outfit along with that you can wear hoop earrings to make it a retro look. Else you can wear a Polka Dot outfit with modern accessories and make it a modern look. Either ways the outfit would look stunning and the accessories woodwork there magic to make it a retro or modern look.

Sometimes when I look at the modern outfits I still wonder why are we moving away from versatile styles to the trains that will perish in seconds. My humble advice to any person reading this is that don't go for trends rather stick to the Classic styles. You will always look fabulous.

Opinion: Upstaging the bride

 Wedding season is about to begin. In the event of enthusiasm and glamour, nowadays I am seeing various social media posts featuring the bride, groom, and the whole ceremony. While most of these are wholesome posts, I am seeing a plethora of disheartening posts. Not only the social media posts but I have heard stories from friends and colleagues about how a specific guest was trying to upstage the bride. These posts/stories specifically discuss the following, where the bride is upset because: a wedding guest is wearing their own wedding outfits a wedding guest is wearing the outfit in the same colour or similar to that of the bride a wedding guest is wearing a bright colour which is drawing the attention away from the bride a wedding guest is prettier than the bride a wedding guest is wearing a designer outfits or a designer inspired outfit Most of these outfits could be inappropriate for the western weddings. In western weddings, most of the brides are dressed in white...

Book review: The Brahmastra unleashed

The book " The Brahmastra Unleashed " it's written by D Sivanandhan who is the former police commissioner of Mumbai and former Director General of Police Maharashtra. This book is a first person account of how the Mumbai underworld was destroyed by the Mumbai Police. As someone who is born in 1980 and grew up in 1990s in Mumbai, I am very well aware of the underworld situation in Mumbai back then. In 1990s Underworld was not exactly hidden. The underworld was not in the background, rather was "the main character" of Mumbai. One was not required to search for the underworld, rather the underworld would come chasing someone at their own doorstep. Traces of Underworld could be found in any lane, any road, any corner, any shop, or any building - practically everywhere. Everyday some or the other person would come face to face with the underworld activities. No one would know when they would witness an underworld activity that could lead to their apparent...

Haunted: The burning woman

All my life, I have heard ghost stories in my school, colleges, and offices. Rather it is safe to say that my school, colleges, and all workplaces were haunted. All stories I heard were the first person accounts.  This story is from one of my workplaces. This story is not for the faint hearted. The story of the burning woman. I had joined a new company. I was in my induction and probation days. As I was new, I was following the "standard rules" such as lay low, follow the orders of superiors, complete the work before the deadline, and avoid old colleagues' gossips.  It was one fine evening, around 6:45 PM I was still in the office. The official log off time was 5 PM, however I was waiting for my boss to tell me to leave (yes, I was that type of employee). Additionally, I had a deliverable with me for completion. Most staff members had already left. In an office of around 150 people capacity, only 6-7 people remained including me. A few seats across sat a senio...
