The ‘Saaree’ Clad Eve and the ‘Kurta’ Donned Adam

Have you ever considered dressing up in traditional Indian attire? The ‘Saaree’ is really only a very long rectangular piece of cloth tightly wrapped around the femme-fatale to enhance the curves. The technique of wearing it though tricky is achievable with considerable practice. It is elegant, chic and charismatic. The kurta-pyjama is a knee long shirt with flair pants for the handsome hunk. Whether you don it below the six pack or a flab, it makes you look equally irresistible. Lehenga-choli is a blouse and ankle long skirt. Team it up with a bindi – the forehead sticker, some colourful bangles and an anklet and you will epitomize the Indian beauty. And where will you easily get all this in Sydney. You will not have to go too far. Liverpool is the hub of Indian fad and fashion. Lined up with shops, it will provide you with everything Indian that you will ever want to wear to impress your beau the Bollywood style.  From Salwar-Kameez to Sarees, Kurta-Pyjamas to Dhotis, beautifully hand embroidered shawls to embellished stoles or dupattas, you name it and they have it. There are even these not too expensive tailors, who will custom design your Indian wear or even fit you with ‘wear-in-seconds-saaree’ that would normally take an expert a good sweat and a good ten minutes!

The Grandiloquent Taj

Part of the World Heritage List, The Taj Mahal is considered one of the most magnificent buildings ever conceptualized. The exquisite marble beauty in Agra, India, might be a mausoleum, but all you will be haunted by is the intense love of a husband for his beloved wife. Undoubtedly, it also a legendary evidence of the artistic brilliance and scientific splendour of a prosperous regime.  Some three million people visit the Taj every year. Agra is easily commutable by bus, train, and air. Access to the structure is on foot purposefully to save the building from the city’s growing pollution. The Taj is a round-the-clock attraction and always buzzing with tourists, though a new ticketing system has been somewhat successful to distribute the onslaught of visitors evenly. Visitors wanting to enjoy the splendour in serenity could try coming in early or late in the day. The Taj is closed on Fridays. A good part of any visit to the Taj must be lavished on the exterior; however the breath-taking inlay work of the interiors cannot be missed. The mausoleum’s dazzling white marble shifts colour to reflect the pensiveness of the outside world—an enthralling transformation that must be witnessed in different conditions, such as in the crimson of twilight or pristine white of the full moon.

Our Love for Cricket!

Cricket is the most popular, participated, performed and played sport in India; it is played by many people from almost all corners, in open spaces throughout the land of India. From winning the World Cup in 1983 to the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, or the 2011 Cricket World Cup, it is blindly fan-followed to the extent of worship by young and old, extremely wealthy to the poverty stricken, man, woman and child . There may be plethora of religions in this largest democracy and secular nation, but it is said that the sport of cricket unifies Indians much passionately than any faith, following or religion can ever attain. Although, surprisingly still, Hockey is the national game, it is cricket that shouts numbers in terms of fan following. With zillions of passionate worshippers of the sport, cricket is truly the ‘religion’ of this populous sub continent.

The ‘Men in Blue’ of team India are arduously followed by the fanatic cricket fans and their fan following equals the popularity of any bollywood famed hero or heroine. From a school goer to a retired citizen, the passion of this sport has entertained, enamoured and enthused every Indian. This cricket crazy nation plan their routine, their holidays and their leaves after taking into consideration the touring schedule of Team India. No matter which part of India, one can find a bunch of amateurs playing cricket in narrow alleys, crammed backyards and even the most populated road sides dreaming of becoming the next cricketing sensation. Cricket, undoubtedly, is the fastest way of winning over an Indian!
