The Indian textile industry is as old as the world textile industry. In fact the first known cotton cultivation seems to be from India followed by UK. Bombay or Mumbai as its know today is synonymous with the textile industry in India and also has the soubriquet “Manchester of the East”. However more and more textile industry has been push to other states of India particularly Gujarat and Madras which are increasingly gaining the attention of the world textile buyers. Mumbai due to its high urbanization is becoming more of realty market. However I want to add a fact to the above statements is that Mumbai is the commercial capital of India.

Lot of niche markets is opening up in India. One place I recall was quite interesting was the Tirupur Textile Industry based in Madras. The place has become synonymous with the exports of India Knit wear. The industry based here is truly thriving with all the modern equipments and technologies. It is estimated that around 35 countries of the world visit Tirupur every month. Now look at this they deliver samples of custom-made knit wear in about 12 hours and up to half a million pieces within a few days. All for the dedication and hard work of workers as well as exporters whose ultimate goal is to meet the international buyer’s requirement sometimes quite unreasonable. Today Tirupur can boast itself being in the elite list of towns with the largest foreign exchanges in India. Super quality brads like Wal-Mart’s, JC Penney, Marks and Spencers have shown a keen interest in the Tirupur textile industry consisting of around 7,000 garment units providing employment to more than a billion people.

The world is looking up to the Indian textile industry to deliver its goods using technologies used and developed elsewhere be it the USA or Japan or Hong Kong.
India has an untapped potential to become in the top three list of producers as well as exporters.

The second day of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour started off with a bang.

The show opened with the collection of designer Gavin Miguel. Actress Sonakshi Sinha stormed the runway for the designer looking stunning in a shimmery golden gown.

Though she tripped off on the steps, she was on her heels in no time walking the ramp with confidence and panache.

Gavin’s show was all about luxury and retro modernism. The clothes had voluminous flares with edgy crystal embellishments and were in deep evening colours like black, blue, indigo, red, orange and brown.

The show started with models showing metallic black and white gowns which soon transcended into shimmery deep blue which created almost a magical effect on the ramp. The show was not just about the silhouettes but the drama created by mixing the colours. The flaming reds and orange looked gorgeous and what couldn’t be ignored was the fluidity of the gowns which made them look larger than life.

The models also sported jackets which created a sexy chic look – denoting the modern woman. Rahul and Gunjan were next in line with their collection The metaphoric jewels.

The collection of evening dresses had subtle metallic details, pearls and stones embedded on them. The show had models strutting in fitted dresses in brown, red, blue and black.

The men walked the ramp in formal wear, all of which was in dark tones. Blue was a popular shade on the ramp and the collection tried to create a great evening look without too many accessories.

Designer Asmita Marwa’s collection, titled Mediterranean Knots, was inspired by the free-spirited world traveller.

The collection was undoubtedly chic and bohemian in style. Printed pants, loose tops, sarongs, flowy dresses and overalls formed the heart of the collection. The clothes were easy on the eyes and had a definite summery feel to them.

Red, orange and white remained the popular tones and the materials used were satins and sensuous chiffon. Actress Ramya was the showstopper for Asmita and she walked the ramp in a beautiful red dress.

The grand finale was as dramatic as one could imagine. Vikram Phandis enchanted the audience with a kaleidoscope of fabrics, colours and embellishments. His collection celebrated the vivacious artistic motifs on gentle fluid drapes in vivid colours.

The show came to an end with actor Zayed Khan walking the ramp in a rich and colourful sherwani, dazzling the audience with his style. High on glitz and glamour, the fashion tour was a grand success among the City’s fashionistas.

There are two types of range finders to help the golfer find his distance to the hole, we will start this review with the gps range finder.

The gps range finders are becoming increasingly common amongst golfers of all abilities, they use a global positioning system to track where the golfer is relative to the hole he or she is playing. The one big advantage of gps is that they can give you yardages to the front, middle, and back of the green, however they cannot give you pin point yardages to the pin, this is up to you to know whether the pin is at the front, middle, or back of the green.

The one thing you will have to do before you start using your gps is download the course details where you are going to play, this can be done easily by going on the Internet and downloading the course details to your gps system. There can be a small charge involved with this process, therefore you should take this in to consideration when deciding which type is best for you.

They can be very accurate providing you know where the pin positions are located, the only downside to a gps is that if the weather turns really bad it could have an affect on the signal coming from the satellite to your unit. Although to be perfectly honest if the weather gets that bad with electrical storms you should not be playing golf anyway, in my opinion the gps system is probably the easiest one to use to get excellent yardages to three areas on the green.

There are different makes of gps on the market today and with more appearing all the time helps to bring the price down to an affordable level, the skycaddie seems to be a very popular model amongst the different golfers i see playing and could be worthy of consideration when looking for a range finder.

The laser range finders are totally different in design and application, they use a laser beam to pin point a target which then bounces back to the unit giving a reading on how far it is away. These however can be a bit awkward when you start to use them, you have to have a reasonably steady hand to pick out the flag when aiming the beam.

But after a while of using the laser range finders you will soon get the hang of picking out the flag and not some other objects like a tree or post, this type can be very accurate in getting you your yardages to the pin and can also be used to check yardages from hazards so you know how much club to take to clear the trouble.

If you are the type of golfer who requires extremely accurate information on yardages then the laser range finder could be your choice of range finder, I see a lot of golfers using the bushnell v2 tour pinseeker nowadays which can only be a good endorsement of the product. In my own golf game i do use the bushnell v2 and find It very easy to use once you get the hang of it, it gives extremely accurate yardages which i am looking for in a range finder and is very compact making it is easy to store away in my golf bag.

So it is down to your own personal choice which finder would suit your game, but in my opinion the laser range finders just egde out the gps systems on the market today. The one thing that every golfer should know before they purchase a range finder is how far they hit each club on average, it wont do you any good knowing the yardage if you dont know how far you hit each club.

From time to time you will have to replace your cushion on a chair or patio furniture. This can be very challenging at the greatest of times especially if your cushions are old or are made by a reliable manufacturer, but worry not as a lot of manufacturers are prepared for this. Different manufacturers will sell you a single on its own to match your existing cushions but this will cost a little bit more.

If on the other hand you are not looking to buy a single cushion but are looking to replace the lot then you are in luck as there are a lot more to choose from now than there used to be. Now buying a set of cushions is very hassle free and you do not need the worry of stains or a small amount spot of water.

Maintaining your patio cushions is an worthy factor when choosing your fabric. A lot of fabrics can be cleaned with a uncomplicated detergent or cleaning agent and then washed off thoroughly. The fabrics used now in cushions are meant to endure a lot of punishment but are not impregnable so still handle them with respect and they will last a long time.

If you fail to maintain the patio cushions you might end up in exactly the same place you are in now, looking for a replacement cushion. A lot of companies offer a wide range of several designs in patterns and colours so you can alter the look and feel of a room simply by changing your cushions. You may go for a bright colour or something with a festive theme but whatever you go for will change the look and feel of your room or patio area.

If you spend a lot of time in your outside area and you have noticed that your cushions have lost there colour or have lost their plumpness as they do over time then there are many new materials on the market that lessen this type of problem. One more thing to consider is the actual shape of the cushion and not just the style and fabric. The thickness of the cushion also has a role to play as if you want to stretch out in a sort of recliner position then you might need a thicker cushion to make you feel more comfortable.

Another sort of chair you may have is the wicker chair and this sort of chair with the aid of a cushion really does improve the comfort of the chair. With new manufacturing processes and different types and styles of the more traditional wicker chair can now be bought. Patio cushions for wicker chairs are widely obtainable to match your cushions with your wicker chair.

If you spend a lot of time outside whether it be entertaining or just chilling out then a new set of patio cushions will feel really special and if treated right will last a long time, giving you hours of comfort if the weather permits it of course.

Yield: about 3 quarts

• 25 1/4 ounces (750 milliliters) whole milk, see cook’s notes
• 8 1/4 ounces (250 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/3 cup sugar (300 grams), divided use
• 5 whole vanilla beans, Tahitian preferred
• 10 egg yolks
• 3 to 4 cups of ice cubes in a large bowl
• Ice cream machine

Cook’s notes: Use a liquid measuring cup to measure the milk and cream (those are the clear cups that are glass or see-through plastic). Often they have measurements in ounces on one side and liters on the other side.

Procedure:

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine whole milk and cream. (Use hormone-free, rich whole milk and cream, from a smaller farm if possible, such as Alta Dena, Hollandia or Rockview). Whisk in 2/3 cup sugar. (Adding part of the sugar at this point prevents scorching.) Using a small, sharp knife, split the vanilla beans in half, lengthwise, leaving them intact (attached) at one end. Scrape vanilla seeds from pods and add to mixture. Add vanilla bean pods to mixture.

2. Bring just barely to a boil on medium-high heat and remove from heat. Meanwhile, in a large stainless steel bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining 2/3 cup sugar. (Whisk until light in color, making figure eights with the whisk. Mixture will change color, from a yellow to a yellowish white. “Blanchir,” in French.) Whisk until mixture forms a ribbon. (When the whisk is lifted, the batter falls slowly back onto the surface of the mixture, forming a ribbon-like pattern that, after a few seconds, sinks back into the batter.)

3. Remove vanilla bean pods from milk mixture. Whisk about 1 tablespoon of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. (This is called tempering. You are gradually heating up the eggs so they won’t scramble.) Add another tablespoon of hot milk, whisking constantly. Add another 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot milk, whisking constantly. Mixture should be warm. Pour the egg mixture into the milk mixture, whisking constantly.

4. Return to medium-low heat. Using a large wooden spoon, stir constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the spoon. (Be sure spoon comes in contact with every part of the bottom of pan as you stir. Use a zigzag motion and be sure to stir the area where the bottom meets the sides of the pan. The mixture is done when it leaves a film on the spoon. This film can be tested by drawing your finger across the coating on the spoon. If it leaves a clear path that doesn’t run, it’s ready.) Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a stainless steel bowl. Place bowl in a larger bowl with ice cubes. Stir occasionally until cool. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the custard. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.

5. Pour custard into ice cream machine. If your machine is small you may need to process in two batches. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
