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?

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.

- But his hope rose again when his first two daughters ( Geeta and Sheeta) came home after beating up two boys for deroDVDsry comments.
- And he decided to train them to fight wrestling.
- His method was harsh and the girls didn’t understand him so they resented him.

Who was with you?
My daddy, my younger brother and I were all in the car going to this wedding
It was an important occasion because of the friendship between my dad and his friend.
What did you do?
We started the journey just fine until I noticed that he had made the fourth right turn meaning a circle.
When I complained he said he’s trying to remember the right road to where we were going.
The worst thing, there was no cell reception
We had to trek some distance before we could see anyone direct us in the right direction.
How you felt about it?
I was so terrified because everywhere was so quiet
No one was around to talk to.
And there was a forest nearby which worsened my fears
