A Fascinating Apparel Of The Twentieth Century

A wonderfull garment

Blue jeans, indubitably a hundred percent American innovation in the world of fashion, has now become a symbol of the young generation. Worn today by men, women, boys, and girls all over the world, it is the raiment that was quite unfamiliar to the inhabitants of the old world as a casual dress before the previous century. Today, the universities, colleges, schools, hotels, public parks, offices etc. around the world witness the immense popularity of the costume in the young generation. Be it T. V. commercials or ads in magazines or newspapers, whether of cold drinks or ice-cream, mobile phone sets or cell phone services, young boys and girls are seen singing and dancing, clad in blue jeans.
In the last decade of the previous century while the fashion traveled from its birth place---the United States---to the Asian and other countries of the east, its major target were the university campuses where young students cordially embraced this new item of cloth. Elderly people would raise their eyebrows upon seeing boys with unshaven chins wearing a dress quite new for the grandmas and grandpas, strolling upon streets and in the markets.



Popularity in Women 

The charming blue costume has especially been embraced by the women all over the world. From the rosy white and ebony skinned girls and women belonging to Canada and the U.S. A. , Latin America, and Europe to the white and olive skinned Asian girls, there is a craze among them of wearing the wardrobe day and night in order to look smart and active in it. The reason for the so much popularity of blue jeans is its amazing property of conforming exactly to the body of its wearer. All kinds of other pants remain the same after having been worn. As for its market in the U.S. alone, more than four hundred and fifty million pairs are sold annually.
Jeans are shown as a staple dress of young teen girls of the western society by a majority of writers in their novels and short stories for girls. You would surely have seen the images of the globally reputed B.B.G. or Blue Bra Girl in news papers and on the Internet. Severely beaten and thrown upon ground by the Egyptian police, lying upon her back at the Tahrir Square, the upper part of her body is exposed except a blue colored brassier, and the lower part is dressed in dark blue denim.This unique piece of cloth has been a strong representative of freedom for all mankind ever since the two great wars. Besides, it has also served as a symbol of unity for the people living on both sides of the Iron Curtain. When in 1980, the Berlin Wall was being demolished, people were jumping joyfully around the wall. People from both sides of the wall whether men or women, all were wearing a common costume that had brought them together, and that were the blue jeans.
It was only during the 1970s that girls were allowed by the society to wear denim at schools in the United States. Before that period, women could not wear jeans except as a work wear. And now since the turn of the century, switching from bell bottom jeans introduced by Hippie Culture during the 1960 s, to the drainpipe jeans and the skintight or boot-cut pencil jeans, young boys and girls are seen at parks, clubs, and markets, playing, chatting, and shopping wearing the modern apparel, the heart of the young generation.  Several new styles evolved; such as, embroidered jeans, painted jeans etc. In 1980s, with the coming of the Kelvin Klein ad slogan, the photograph of the most reputed model and actress of the decade---Brook shield could be seen in every living room, purring: nothing can come between me and my Kelvins.

A Visit To The Shrine Of Pir Baba

  A Beautiful View of the Valley of Swat For years it had been one of my most fervent desires to pay a visit to the shrine of Pir Baba. You will surely ask: and who is this Pir Baba? Pir Baba or "Saint Father"___the English for these Pashto words , was a Musalman sage still remembered with much reverence among the inhabitants of the northern parts of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. During my high school days all that I knew about him was up to this extent that his actualname was Sayyid Ali Tirmizi and that he was borne in the town of Tirmiz lying in the region familiar to the Muslim geographers of the medieval ages by the name of Khorasan.   Early Life and Education It was a common practice among the Musalman religious people of those days to tour as much of the "land of God" as possible.

  Jahan Khan Durrani That was the first half of the eighteenth century A.D. in India. The once acclaimed Taimurid dynasty was in the worst condition. Suddenly, there appeared on the Indian horizon a star that surprisingly changed the plight of the Muslim community of the Indian sub-continent. That unforgettable personality, the great Ahmad Shah Abdali or Durrani of Afghanistan, will forever be remembered due to his splendid deed of emancipating the helpless and suppressed Indian Muslim population from the valiant Marathas who were growing more and more powerful those days by inflicting upon them the crushing defeat at Panipat. The Indian Muslims, having seen the days of their prestigious past on the very this land, were facing severe hardships at the hands of the Sikhs, the Hindu Jats, the Sutnami   Faqirs, and then the ferocious Marathas from the Deccan peninsula, a new scourge for them since the time of Aurang Zeb Alamgir, only because of the mutual rivalries and strong ...
