Changing trends in vogue

             Trend, originated from the word bend -- the way things bend, change or evolve.

But the bending of vogue can be termed "Never ending" ;). Each day you see men and women wearing different kinds of colourful clothes, designer belts, shoes, watches, purses...etc just coloring our precincts. But the trend change in the dyeing of one's hair stands apart - red, violet, orange, maroon, blue, ....I heard there are around 76 shades to blend your hair in. God! ( I always assumed there were just 24 colours -- just like my color pencil box :P). As far as I remember, an uncle of mine, about 10 yrs back, had his hair dyed black, but pity, he stood like an aberrant caricature of whom all the kids made fun ! That too for just BLACK !! Ab dekho, having it painted in all the different colors of the rainbow is no more an aberration, but a "fashion statement" !. Sure that's a bend!
        I was in class 7 when my mother got my first suit made for me. Back then, my school's uniform was navy blue ,so I had to have nothing but a matching navy blue suit. But now, only last month, I had to get another one made for a cousin's reception party. As I went into a decent shop and looked at the suits on the mannequins , the salesman comes up to me and asks, "Sir, what are you looking for?" I bluntly reply "Party suits". "What kind of party suits, sir?" (Ainnnn! That was a dud on me , I thought they were only of two types-formal or informal) When I just shrugged..He showed me the options pointing at the mannequins as he spoke : "Would you like Festive? Cocktail? Semi formal? After five? corvy casual?"..... I was like FISH. "Dude, I just need a decent suit, just to attend a reception party..!!" The next thing is , I am walking up the stairs, because they have a completely different section dedicated for the wedding ceremonies!! God! am I too slow or the world changing so fast??
         Amitabh Bachan wears Reid n Taylor while Amir khan wears Van Huesen, uses Samsung phones and Titan watches. Ranbir uses Panasonic Tv's and Hrithik eats Hide and Seek..!! And Of course!! Special mention for Sallu bhai, the ultimate trend setter- what he wears, the nation wears with him . He gets bald and you have a bunch of walking eggs on the streets. He gets naked, the gyms get busy! ;) ...I don't wanna get to Shahrukh , he must be already idolized in every place. Guys, this is the limit! Has anyone wondered where do these people set the trends from? No where, they make the bend! One fine morning one of them goes to the saloon, the designer has something abstract in his mind, he does it, and he doesn't care. One decides to have a full body tattoo , One might simply come to work in his tracks, they don't give a damn. They don't need to worry about what others are wearing. They don't worry about getting termed "Out of Fashion!" , then why should we?
          Its high time we take our own such bends. People copy whom they believe is the best, their idol. Its high time we stop copying and set our own trends and It wont be possible till you believe in Yourself!!
