Tales from the riverside
By Shahzada Irfan Ahmed

 Hundreds of years ago, human beings lived in the open, wandering from one place to another, adapting according to their environment. With the passage of time, the needs of the early people evolved. They needed stability for their growing families, which led to the formation of settlements. People started building homes, at first temporary and later more permanent, made of bricks. As the needs increased, man invented different things to make life easier.
Despite great advances in the lifestyle of a large number of people in the world - making electricity and electric appliances an integral part of life - there are millions of people who possess very little. Millions still live in poverty in this modern, technologically advanced world.....

 We use the language of colour everyday: feeling blue; green around the gills; yellow bellied coward; out of the blue; green with envy; in the pink, etc. Colours also play an important role in fashion and every year, the colour palette is a little bit different. If you want to keep up with the fashion trends, you should therefore also keep up with the colour trends. Rocking this season’s hottest hues is a sure-fire way to stay on trend without breaking the bank - just pick out a new piece or two in one of the colours below and you’ll have a completely updated look for summer.....

 Working mothers have a lot to take care of and if they have a newborn at home, the biggest problem they face is that of storing milk. Breast milk is best for the baby and due to the lack of knowledge as to how they can store it; mothers usually end up giving their babies formula milk. In this regard, Dr Ibrahim Yusuf guides about how working mothers can carry on with their jobs without depriving their babies of the best - in terms of food. Read on to find out more...
Query: I am a mother of a four-month-old baby boy. I took a maternity leave from work when he was born but now I have to join back. However, I do not want to deprive my son of breast milk as paediatricians disapprove of using formula milk.....

Taking out time for yourself
Often, we become so tied up in our day-to-day activities that we simply end up gathering heaps of information, but do not take out time to think and reflect over it. This leaves us drained not only physically but also emotionally - and we feel tired and are always low on energy.....

 Your apprehensions are not without grounds, but you have also shared your fears along with them. First of all, my dear, you need to realize that ‘like father like son’ is not always right. ‘U’ seems to be gentle sort of a person and you have stated that although he defended his father’s actions, he also tried to reassure you that he would not follow in his footsteps. We usually judge people according to their reputation - and our biases, of course - and ‘U’ has done nothing so far to make you uneasy. About his not being too smart, well ... that is something which is not in his power to change......

 Falling in love is a great experience but when it is over, the hurt one experiences is unimaginable. Whether one has lost a girlfriend/boyfriend or a husband/wife, this loss can bring on intense heartache and stress. Even though many people manage to bounce back on their feet, there are others who hold on to the lost relationship. They become depressed and end up spending several years of their life pining over the same person, hoping they will snap out of the dilemma one day. They expect time to heal all wounds, but unfortunately time won’t help if you don’t make an effort to help yourself. Following are a few tips that can help heal your heart......

| Designers on the go!
|
|
 In our part of the world every now and then we come across people who claim to be fashion designers. Fashion is international and if someone wants to be recognised as a good designer it is important for them to educate themselves and broaden their horizons. Of course, one needs to have flair for fashion and aesthetic sense but it is also important to acquire proper education in the respective field. And the Asian Institute of Fashion Design (AIFD) is one such institute that prepares the students to meet the rapidly changing and the growing demands of the international fashion and textile markets. Also, they provide their students a competitive edge in the market by minimizing the gap between theory and practice.....
