The dress that changes colour to reflect your mood




Phillips designed the Bubelle Dress, the dress that changes color to reflect the wearer's mood. It is made up of two layers, the inner layer contains biometric sensors that pick up a person's emotions and projects them in colors onto the second layer, the outer textile.
Ingrid Bal from Philip's Design said: "You could programme the material so that it turned red if you were angry or stressed, or green when you're calm."

Indian moms in US

Well, every mom is different. But, I also realized that Indian moms are different from other ethncity moms. I realized this yesterday, at the Diwali party. After observing many Indian moms at the event... I realized one thing - that Indian moms are very pushy and competitive. Pushing their kids to be the best. To achieve more than their friend's kid. I do not understand the point ( pushing their kids to the limit ) as yet. I say as 'yet' becuase I have a two year old and I am not sure if I will also turn into a pushy mom or not.....
well, this made me think. why are indian moms this way. and i realized that it is because of the social situation. even if you are a rich or middle class or poor kid, becuase of the large population in India, Darwins theory is fully at work. 'The survival of the fittest.' and so indian mom even in US do the same. and I wonder if they are the same way in all situations..... what I mean is, these moms are so competitive around indians... so are they the same way around americans.
But I also wonder who will I be in five years???

Flash back....

Today, I spent the entire day googling about India.

I am compiling some videos and photos for Indian association' Diwali event. Looking at the photos and videos reminded me of my childhood. India, Hyderabad - my home country. where you see a familiar face every few minutes. where colors are bright and the language is sweet. you can see the extremes of anything and everything. A country full of culture and traditions. my country.

I can still remember the sweet scent of jasmine in our front yard. every morning the rikshaw vala comes in the morning to pick us and take us to the school. The streets that we walked to school everyday. The park where we played every evening. The roads where all our neighbouring kids gathered to play kabaddi, I-spy, cricket....

sigh.....!!

I never dreamt of leaving my country and settling in US. I always was independent. And so I always thought that I will after my graduation start my own business and get married later and have a fun filled life surrounded by family and friends.

uhm...

I fell in love got married and came to US.
But, India - did not stop. The globalization that started in 1991 took India to an entirely different level. A level where people are debating about its future as next super power.

Well, I do not know what the future holds for India and me. but right now my two-year-old is calling for my attention. so will keep my thinking cap aside and attend to my motherly duties.

Thats it for now
