Going SOLO
|
Social equations are
changing as having a single child is fast becoming the norm, writes Seema Sachdeva
THE
bustling and burgeoning "great Indian family" has become a
thing of the past. More and more young couples are not only opting for
nuclear families but are also happy going in for one child. From
something that was considered a rarity even 20 or 30 years ago, having a
single child is fast becoming the norm in the urban milieu. This also
makes sound financial sense in the current economic scenario wherein it
is becoming imperative for both parents to be working so as to provide
their child with the best of facilities. Whether it is better to have a
single child or not, the opinions vary.

Shades
go RETRO
Melanie Brandl checks
out sunglass styles for summer 2009
LARGE,
colourful and flashy. Sunglass fashion this summer is definitely
conspicuous. "Colourful frames are hot and as well as
frames with way-out patterns, such as spider webs, peace signs
or skulls," said Gabriele Gerling of Germany’s central
association of opticians in Dusseldorf. Retro is the number one
catchword. However, the styles are not reverting to fashion
trends just from the 1950s and 1960s. This year everything from
the 1930s to the 1970s is represented.
