A JOURNEY CALLED LIFE

  Marriages are made in heaven. Really? Well one thing I know. Indian weddings are definitely something heavenly. Its not called ''The Big Fat Indian Wedding'' without any reason. Indian weddings are grand in every way...the decor, the trousseau, food, gifts etc etc. Getting married is a difficult task indeed. First its the willingness to commit and then all the hoopla around shopping. Phew! As times are changing, so are people's expectations. Things have become grander and getting ready more difficult. Looking back into my own wedding almost six years back, I feel lucky that I got married that time. I was not an overtly conscious person when it came to dressing up. My fiancee was more concerned than me. It was her who chose all the wedding essentials for me. I neither had the time nor energy to do buy wedding accessories. Now that I have attended so many weddings, and with so many wedding dresses online , wedding shopping has sort of become easier.. So here I ...

I took the plunge almost six years ago! Yes I am talking about tying the knot.

Rest of them are too absorbed in the worries of their future household and expenses to think about their attire. I too belonged to the later category. I however had faith in my wife who chose the Sherwani for me. I don't want my fearless broth...

I am usually in the Operation Theatre for 14 hours a day, 4 days a week; if luck is on my side. Otherwise the hours can get longer and the number of days can increase too. Rest of the three days, I am in formals (read shirt and blazer). That leaves me with absolutely a non fancy wardrobe. Its only during vacations and Pujas and weddings when I actually get to switch up my looks. Its totally opposite to my work wear but me and my family love the change. Yes, I like to dive into ethnic wear. I love wearing ethnic. I own a lot: short kurtas, long kurtas, kurta pyjamas, sherwanis et all. However not all guy feels comfortable wearing kurtas. So here is a little guide as to how you should start building your ethnic wardrobe.  If you are new to the ethnic trend, you can break the ice with this ethnic jacket. The blue colour is very royal and the jacket will make heads turn; whether at a wedding or at a cocktail party. Find this here. If a full Kurta Pyjama is too ...
