No child's play this!
Choosing a child’s apparel is as complex an affair as that of an adult.
Here is a complete guide to help you out
Who says fashion is for grown ups only? A visit to any kids’ store can leave you awestruck, mainly when it comes to variety. From retro-inspired to the modern, the range of kids’ wear include flannel, cotton, denim to corduroy in classic, slightly nostalgic styles with a roomy cut to encourage freedom of movement (well, who can stop the lil’ ones from playing). In fact going by what’s on display, the children’s collection has almost all the styles that we see in adult section.
Teamed up with basics like tights, polo tops, smart jackets, coats and even the layering of garments, have your pick to brighten up your kiddy’s winter wardrobe.
Jatin, business head of Kapsons, says, “There’s an amazing range of clothes for children these days, and it can very well termed as casual wear.”

Art of sharing
It was a back to school experience for teachers. A brush dipped in yellow colour, then in red and then a stroke of it on the paper. Three such strokes to paint a flower. Another four such strokes to paint a sparrow and six strokes to paint a face. Art is made easier to learn and convenient to understand at the 21-day-art workshop being held at Kendriya Vidyalaya-31.
The focus wasn’t on learning the complex forms of art, rather, how to simplify it.

Sometimes institutions make people. We meet Indrani Nyooi lauding her alma mater or Manmohan Singh speaking nostalgically about Panjab University, an institution that moulded his early thinking. Very often, many of us pass through the portals of great schools, colleges and universities, to fade away into ordinary lives and oblivion. We surface for annual gatherings, centenaries and memorials. We recall, recount and leave, satisfied that we did once belong to a famous fraternity. However, the imprint of our institution is found in our mannerisms, language and relationships. Our daily actions and reactions make us stand out. We do not make it to Page 3 or the vapid, daily party circuit, peopled by individuals who rise and shine for a nano second, to be forgotten within the following moment.
