Craze for Fashion

Fashions today lead the world. They are over on the increase. Young boys and girls have become fashion-crazy. They must appear up to date and modern. They spend most of their precious time, energy and the hard-earned money of their parents on looking well-dressed and smart. They are mad after cut and fashion. Both the boys and the girls compete with one another in putting on expensive clothes of the latest design, colour, cut, and fabric. As regards the boys they put on a bell-bottom, T-shirts, skive, etc. to attract the other sex. They keep with them a pocket mirror and a pocket comb. They dress their hair after Sanjay Dutt style or like Hippies. They keep mustaches or grow beards or long hair as they like. They spend a lot of time on toilets and beauty aids. As regards the girls, things are still worse. They dress as the film stars do. Tight clothes have given place to loose, mini to maxi. They also put on bell-bottom, skive, lahanga, gharara and the like. They prefer to get their hair bobbed. They put on sleeveless shirts which expose their body. They do not like to put on any headdress. They also spend a lot of time and money on powder, paint, lipstick, and other beauty aids. They look like dolls and move about like butterflies. Going to hotels or restaurants or cinema houses or clubs is also a fashion these days. Smoking and drinking are also common among some boys. In certain cases, boys have girlfriends, and girls have boyfriends. Film stars are their gods and goddesses, film plots their holy books and cinema houses their temples.
