Denims!!!

The word “denim” comes from the name of a fabric that was first made in the city of Nimes , France , by the André family. It was originally called serge de Nîmes but the name was soon shortened to “denim.”

Denim has been used in the United States since the late 18th century.Denim was traditionally coloured blue with indigo dye  to make blue jeans , although “jean” formerly denoted a different, lighter, cotton fabric. The contemporary use of the word “jean” comes from the French word for Genoa,Italy(Gênes), where the first denim trousers were made.had just been observing these days ,the popularity for denims have fallen down,with coloured pants being the new rage against youngster and adults ,Even the USA which have had the denims since the late 18th century too has seen a decline in denim jeans worn  ,so how long is this trend going to really last ? are denims become a thing of the past . And also the denims known for the blue   indigo dye to  ,had a phase too were people had gone crazy ,just the way they are going for coloured pants to own one of them .Or  have denims become a classic piece of bottom wear ,which will be used for formal events ,if we are using coloured pants informally ,its not just pants that are worn but also sporty-wear track pants that have become the new style statement with so many design,stretch fabric available or  the recent trends that have being growing around the globe steadily where  people have started to spend more on dining ,fine food and trying out cuisine,travel  rather than spending more on shopping of clothes responsible for this ?

 

Did you Know?

while I was going through  a book,I came across an interesting piece of information about  snakes & ladders . “Moksha Patam “was earlier known as snakes and ladders and just realised ,that the game snake and ladder originated from India .And  then I was so eager to know about the game that i decided to write this piece .

The game is a simple  and was very popular with young children .

It was known as moksha patam or vaikunthapaali or paramapada sopaanam (the ladder to salvation). The game made its way to England and was sold as “Snakes and Ladders”, then the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders
Known as Moksha Patam, the game was popular in ancient India and emphasized the role of fate or Karma  . A Jain version, Gyanbazi or Gyan chauper , dates to the 16th century. The game was called Leela   and reflected the Hinduism  consciousness surrounding everyday life. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a version introduced in victorian England  in 1892.Moksha Patam was associated with traditional Hindu and jain philosophy and  contrasting karma and kama, or destiny and desire. It emphasized destiny, as opposed to games such as pachisi, which focused on life as a mixture of skill (free will) and luck. The game has also been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad. The ladders represented virtues such as generosity, faith, and humility, while the snakes represented vices such as lust, anger, murder, and theft. The morality lesson of the game was that a person can attain salvation (Moksha) through doing good, whereas by doing evil one will inherit rebirth   to lower forms of life. The number of ladders was less than the number of snakes as a reminder that a path of good is much more difficult to tread than a path of sins. Presumably the number “100” represented Moksha (salvation). In Andhra pradesh  , Snakes and Ladders is played in the name of Vaikuntapali.The phrase “back to square one” originates in the game of snakes and ladders, or at least was influenced by it .

Apps !!!

What is the need to be on every app that’s new ?
With apps coming every month ,and so many of them these days .people are going crazy by installing them and using them as a way of communication .
The people are the same using these app ,there would hardly being anybody who isn’t there on your social networking accounts ,we have reached a point in life where we need these new apps to remind people every now and then that yes we are here ,and that might just be the reason why we people have to be on all these social apps ,well it doesn’t really make sense ,it’s the same people ,the same thing you talking about and doing the same thing ,while some we are texting what we are doing ,while in some we are sending a picture and while some are using important headlines to get noticed .its just the same thing
So how long will we follow people on apps ,instead of meeting and calling them and being like the normal people we used to be .
