Why Dressing Up Is An Interesting Search Theory

“Everyone likes to dress for someone”. Naahhh, Mirrors would have been obsolete by now if this was true. On the contrary every individual dresses for himself or herself and then seeks his or her approval before turning to others for a stamp. Like in so many other cases even fashion is a reflection of individuality. The self approval after dressing up leads to higher level of confidence one that makes you face others with self assurance. “Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all”, how can we forget these lines we have grown listening to so often. Yes beauty is one thing that everybody is running after and finding ways to look beautiful has perhaps become the order of the day or what else justifies the phenomenal growth of this industry at large.

God gives every creature an inherent desire to preen. Right from birds to human beings, they all spend hours preening themselves and taking a cue from here the industry has picked up ways to fulfill this very desire of preening. It really does not matter what is there within but the outside must be really good and one goes that extra mile in the quest to look the best
In today’s world the money people spent on looking good has increased significantly as compared to yesteryears. In this cosmopolitan India of today looks matter, lables matter and above all the image matters and thus giving birth to a desire to dress to kill

Even perception plays an equally important role as it is a pivot in determining looks and beauty so dressing up well once again gains importance. Its here that our dressing sense seeks an approval of others, after all we are social beings and our ways and practices needs an acceptability amongst others. So while dressing up we tend to put on filters in our eyes but then what are these filters: Girlfriend / boyfriend, husband / wife, society, colleagues and friends. So we dress up keeping these filters in mind and then match it with our own image and if both these images are in sync with each other we develop a mountain of confidence

At this point in time its worth asking, is it goodness we are running after or is it a statement of falsehood? This I leave it open ended and for everybody to answer keeping different situations and own priorities in mind. Whatever it is DRESSING makes a difference as it makes a statement of the person you are. It hides our inner faults and portrays a good image of oneself. No wonder fashion, trends and designers make loads and loads of money

International Women's Day: 10 Things You Need To Know About The Global Celebrations

2010-03-08T00:33:00.000-08:00

1. While International Women's Day is now largely aimed at inspiring women across the world and celebrating their achievements, its roots are in movements campaigning for better pay and voting rights.

2. The first National Women’s Day was marked on 28 February 1909 in the United States after a declaration by the Socialist Party of America.

3. During an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen the following year, Clara Zetkin, leader of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany, suggested the idea of an International Women's Day....She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day. The idea was met with unanimous approval.

4. 1911 saw IWD honoured for the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on March 19. Over a million people attended rallies campaigning for women's rights to work, vote, be trained, to hold public office and end discrimination.

5. On the eve of World War I campaigning for peace, Russian women observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. In 1965, it was declared as a non working day in the USSR.

6. International Women's Day was transferred to 8 March that same year and has remained the global date for the event ever since.

7. In 1975, the United Nations gave official sanction to International Women's Day and began sponsoring it.

8. The United States now designates the whole month of March as 'Women's History Month'.

9. IWD is also an official holiday in 15 countries including China, Ukraine and Vietnam.

10. Over the past few years The Great India Place and Worlds Of Wonder has celebrated the occasion…even this year the various retail outlets at our mall have put up discount sale exclusively for women…Also entry fee to Worlds Of Wonder has been slashed by 50% for women
