clothes &Comfort...


looking at the comfort I think...with summers and humidity all around..living in Michigan surrounded by lakes ....cool cotton clothes provide comfort......I usually keep comfort in mind when buying something for myself......
Summers with heat wave going up and humidity..cool colors provide extra relief and keeps us breezy!!!I usually prefer light colors during summers.....though indoor it hardly matters since the areas all over are centrally air conditioned!
White dress shirts are my favorites at work with dress pants..it gives a clean look and at the same time keeps me comfortable ,though white is hard to maintain....
Parties in summers outside ....specially barbecues are painful.....its hot with grill it gets even hotter...it advised to keep casual...with cotton dress (if u wear) or shorts or Capri or leggings...with cool tops for air to flow....usually its a preconceived notion that barbecues are casual parties....as it always in lawns...or near the beach!
Formal dressing to me is very uncomfortable ...I always end up tired and coming home as soon as possible....usually we have dress codes for formal parties......Indian dress are fine with me But Saris I give up after some time ...though its very graceful dress.....I personally like it but cannot carry for long time.....I guess it needs practice and more patience!!!!
.....Colors to me for evening wears for indoor gatherings...black and red is my favorite.....Red..I have a closet full....every kind of red..... but good ones only:)....they stand out in gatherings...
black is always welcome but skin color has to be light ....one needs an attitude to carry the dress and colors!!!
For Men....I would say more solid colors subtle and button down shirts with dress pants for formal gatherings or parties ....or tees for outdoor .....but definitely NOT PINK. :)
Its all personal choice and depends on confidence level too to carry the outfit...one has to be courteous in gestures too.....to carry anything.
With summer and parties....its wise to keep comfort level in mind before getting formally dressed!!!
this blog is dedicated to all party lovers!!!
(I am tagged again...I will ans those set of ques in my next blogs...thanks )

indian Summer...


Recently ..I have been hearing lot about Indian weather and its effects...anybody you talk has the same story there are power cuts, scarcity of water ,generators and inverters are giving up ..heat strokes ..people passed...I mean so much discussion about climatic conditions.
Talking to one of my cousins ,she said I usually go to mall and spend hours there...if it was possible I would sleep there..
As far our infrastructure ..are we in a pathetic state ? where basic necessity is not available like light and water...I mean building up malls like US and Europe... putting up brand names,flashy cars... so ...where is the basic necessity...?
Born and raised in India...only mumbai doesn't have a power problem as far as I know...rest all the states pass through the same channel....
It was always like that ..even when I lived in India...summers were bad..I remember sitting in the balcony whole night and calling up electricity department in the morning and yelled at them ....the guy said" we cannot say about that ..but the power cut will start again at 2 pm.."..
Sometimes I missed my college as there was a power cut at night.... I mean when we hear news that people died of heat as there is no electricity... country is in sorry state of affairs....???
why???
when the country can afford to give hot line services to higher officials(where there is always a regular supply of electricity)why not some relief to a common man...
I think basic necessity needs to be taken care off ....
Its warm here in US too..but life becomes better with regular supply of water and electricity...
we do not have domestic help here...all cleaning or washing is done by us with help of appliances like dish washers or vacuum cleaners or washing machines... so..electricity plays a main role...and I guess the reason work goes uninterrupted all the time....
I think if we overcome the electric and water problem life in India it would be much more comfortable and will be like any other place we live inn.
and nothing is IM M POSSIBLE
