The reviews I had read on this book were extremely thought provoking and even at a first glance‚ the cover picture of the book I thought was metaphorically

    Divakurani’s short story‚ "Clothes‚" recounts the story of an Indian woman‚ Sumita‚ as she begins an arranged marriage that takes her to America and introduces her to an entirely new life. I found it fascinating to read‚ in part because its account of Indian society’s view of a woman’s role is as different from my own experience as it is from the role women play in American society. The story begins with a ritual bathing‚ in preparation for Sumita’s bride-viewing‚ the moment when she will first

    Are clothes important for everyday life? What should I wear today? Didn’t I wear it yesterday? Does she like it? Am I cool? Everyday questions! Questions that we ask ourselves every morning‚ once we get up‚ when we go out to school or work‚ before we meet friends or just when we have to go to the store. Why such an unimportant thing should bother us all the time? Aren’t we the same with or without "cool" clothes?

    Clothes and What They Mean To Me. What is fashion? Is it the haute couture gown painstakingly made by hand that parade down the runways at London‚ Paris and New York Fashion week‚ or is it the top brands that can sell a simple t-shirt for two hundred euro? I believe that although those top fashion houses do influence the high street market they are unaffordable by the normal working person. I believe that fashion is very much personal. I dress for how I feel every day. Everybody has those days
