A Silk Sari or saree or shari is a female garment in the Indian subcontinent. A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff. The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be “backless” or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions. Women in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist.

CONFIDENCE:
Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella….
That’s Confidence..
TRUST:
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air; he laughs…..because he knows you will catch him….
That’s Trust..
HOPE:
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still we have plans for the coming day….
That’s Hope..
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
