There is nothing realized as love. But a father’s love also matters.Mothers are like gold while fathers are like mirrors. The way a mother will care for a child is different from the way a father will care for a child. Mothers understand emotions more than fathers. After all, mothers know best.

Ques 1: What is the difference between the dressing style of young people and that of old people?
Young people are more concerned with personal looks and fashion, and have more willingness to spend money on looking good. Women’s shoes are a great example.
Older people are often more concerned with practical matters, such as comfort and durability, and suitability for purpose. When you have a family to support, your priority is not spending money on trends.
Ques 2: Do the people living in the north part of your country wear different clothes as compared to the people living in the south?
Yes they do, In the north part of India women traditionally wear salwar kameez, ghagra choli, sari, and phiran. Dupatta is worn to complete the outfit. Men traditionally wear kurta, achkan, kameez, and sherwani for upper garment, the lower garment includes dhoti, churidar, shalwar, and Lungi.
But in the south part of India, it is hot and humid, so light holiday fabrics are best, though jumpers, jackets, and jeans are useful in hill stations, which can get surprisingly cold. A good brimmed or sun hat works wonders. Some smarter South Indian bars/restaurants/clubs have strict dress codes – e.g. no sandals or shorts at most upmarket urban places.
