Caring for garments in the proper way is very important. That’s why there are care codes or care symbols attach to the garment. Care symbols are written on care labels, attached to clothing to indicate how a particular item should best be cleaned. Care label indicates best procedures for washing, bleaching, drying, ironing or dry-cleaning. These labels are designed in particular combination of fabric, thread, decoration and construction techniques so one cannot afford to ignore it.

  Wardrobe styling for A Public Speaker  Your first impression matters a lot when you are speaking publicly.  What you wear, your body language, grooming reflects a lot about you and shows your seriousness about event. With little planning and preparation,  one can impress audience and  abolish the greatest fear of public speaking.   Dressing correctly helps in  creating the first impression among your audience. On the other hand dressing  casually and inappropriately also means that you  are not serious towards the whole idea of addressing people and eventually your audience also find it extremely difficult to concentrate on your speech. Gaurav had excellent public speaking skills. But once he  went casually and untidily dressed to address his team members. Neither did he bother to iron his clothes nor polish his shoes. The  audience perceived him to be a lazy and careless person who did not bother to take care of his own clothes. How would such a person take care of the team or for t

कोई लौटा दे मेरे बीते हुए दिन

By Sarita Sharda
  एक दिन मेरे बेटे ने कहा, मांं आप समझ ना पाओगे।           आप 20वीं सदी में पले बढ़े, हमारी सदी 21वीं है।     बरसों बाद सुनकर 20वीं सदी,याद आई मुझे अपने बचपन की ।           बचपन के वे चहकते दिन, कितने सुहाने लगते थे ।      घुमा कर जादू की छड़ी, काश!! कोई लौटा दे मेरे बीते हुए दिन। लो मां, टाइम मशीन बनाता हूं, और तुम को वहां ले जाता हूं।  पर, मां क्या करोगी?, अगर मिल जाए बीते हुए दिन।     सपना यह सच हो जाए, तो तुम्हें परियों के जहान में ले जाऊंगी।  तुम्हारे दौर की नींव जहां, उस डगर की सैर करवाऊंगी।    बैर, द्वेष से कोसो दूर,कोई होड़ न चिंता थी।  न कैमरा न व्हाट्सएप ,आंखों में बंद सबकी पिक्चर थी । कागज के पत्रों पर सबके, अपडेट हमेशा मिलते थे। मन करता है वैसा एक पत्र , मैं सब सखियों को लिख डालूं।    बुलाकर उनको भी वहां पर, बचपन के सारे खेल, खेल डालूं। पापा के आंगन की परी और मां के आंचल की दुलारी बनूं।  एक बार फिर मैं जी लूं बचपन के वे सुनहरे दिन। मुस्कराकर, मैं बोली, बेटा ,टाइम मशीन का काम नहीं ।  उम्र का साल कोई भी हो,बस धड़कनो में,नशा जीने का हो। बचपन का बस सार इतना, जीवन क
