When it comes to high-end luxury fashion, it is not exactly known for being extremely inclusive and accepting. From being particular to a certain size 0 to photoshopping, from being only created for a select colour of people to being priced at an unimaginable rate, luxury fashion is for most something that can only be admired from outside windows of...
Recently I came across a Facebook post (which I am meandering very carefully in case I fall prey to another scam by them) by pastor Ab Isong.

In 2017, Delhi metro rates were increased twice, once in May and then in October.

Primary School Children
That day, when my sister returned home, she was not her usual chirpy and determined self. I could sense the weariness in her steps and the exasperation in her voice.
