City resident gets recognition from Kenya high commission
A little 5-year-old boy too dreamt of being in the jungles of Africa after listening to stories from his father about the continent and the adventures it beholds.
The modern world has changed every person’s lifestyle but in some way or the other, every person is in a search of a scope when he/she can go back to his/her tradition.
A traditional portrayal of the common folk of Bengal is complete with laal-paar sada saree (a white saree with red border) for the women and dhuti-panjabi (dhoti-kurta) for the men. Every time we imagine a Bengali individual the above appearance is what strikes our mind. Be it TV commercial, or a brand-shoot, the people from the state are always portrayed in this fashion.
With the ever evolving fashion sense, the dressing style of Bengal is also changing drastically. Western influence can be seen taking over the traditional dressing style. Men and boys, earlier, used to wear dhuti-panjabi mostly. These days, hardly this attire is visible. Similarly, women used to wear saree and younger girls used to wear frocks. These traditional dresses have become an ‘endangered species’.
