By Maneesha Nath
I have come across a lot of people with the belief that there are no options for a groom apart from traditional sherwanis and formal suit. This is just a myth and we all need to get over it.
Now-a-days guys have more options than girls.
Before purchasing any dress for yourself you should keep one thing in mind. Please do not compare yourself with others. Try your favourite outfit and make sure you take opinions from one or two family members and then finalise.
Here are few options for the groom and best man.
Basic, simple kurta for small functions like Roka, Sangeet, Haldi etc.
Ethnic half jacket over the kurta (Long kurta). A Kurta with half sleeved Nehru jacket. A full sleeved jacket with knee length or short kurta. A jodhuri jacket. A plain beige sherwani with chudidaar. Black sherwani with metal buttons and a dupata with thick embroidered borders.
Reverse this completely to a new look with embroidered Sherwani and plain dupata with borders. Sherwani with sequence hand work all over. You can go for colours like red, yellow light blue.
For the reception you can always go for a black tuxedo.
Double breasted suit (preferably a pin stripped). A plain Nehru suit. Plain bandh gala with jodhpuri pants. Pin stripe or solid blazer set with white or light blue shirt to keep it to the basic.
In case you choose to go for a tie, it has to be silk or silk like material and should coordinate with the blazer and pants and should contrast the shirt’s colour.
I hope these little tricks and tips will help you get your perfect wedding look.
Stay tuned for another exciting topic in our next edition until then love yourself, spread happiness and take good care of yourself.

What did you think of our attempt to land on the moon? Disappointed or did you feel we are not big enough to attempt something so huge?
I’m going to quote from my own book DARE, which is to be launched in a month. The chapter I’m quoting from is ‘Dare to Make an Ass of Yourself!’
In making an ass of yourself, you’re like an actor who’s decided to get on stage the first time, not sure whether the audience is going to boo you offstage or applaud you for your performance, you’re shaking in your shoes, though all the people see is a confident smile. But you still go on stage!
That’s daring to make an ass of yourself!
It was a friend of my wife, a good speaker who told me about her first experience in public speaking, “Bob,” she said, “I went up on stage, after having memorized my speech, started off with a lot of confidence, and somewhere midway, saw the eyes of everyone looking up at me, and went into a shellshock. My tongue froze, my mind went blank, and I stood, the next two minutes like a zombie, as my classmates giggled and then I stepped off the stage in shame, vowing never to face an audience again!”
She did, and later taught others how to speak English and speak in front of a crowd.
This is what India dared to do. In a world where giants like the USA, and Russia dominate all space programs, India decided to enter, dared to stand up on stage against jeers and laughter, and dared to make an ass of herself.
What we must remember is not whether Vikram landed on its feet or nose, but that it dared. This is the lesson all of us need to be proud about.
Billionaire Bill Gates, once decided to deliver software to a customer which he hadn’t developed yet, and for a computer he had never seen! Because he dared, he did.
For thousands of years it was felt no human could run a mile within four minutes; it was physically impossible. Yet Roger Bannister announced that he would, decided to make an ass of himself, and shattered this belief when he ran a mile in 3.59 minutes.
We as a nation decided to go for it, knowing the world might laugh at us if we failed. Likewise, go for it, if there’s something you are afraid to do and dare to make an ass of yourself!
Only the one who dares to do so, wins in the end..!

Yes India, you are being watched by the rest of the world. You are being watched by neighbours, many of whom have never tasted democracy, many who have suffered under military rule and dictatorships!
You are being watched by China, who have ruthlessly cracked down on dissidents and protestors, mowing them down with bullets and tanks!
You are being watched by princely ruled kingdoms, who till lately didn’t even allow a woman the right to drive a car!
You are being watched by nations who allow only those of one particular religion to hold office!
By America which boasts itself of being the world’s largest democracy and looks enviously at you as you shout you are the world’s largest!
By Russia, which has a strong man breaching electoral rules so he can continue ruling for a few terms more!
By England, whose rulers many decades ago, ne’er thought you’d last as a nation!
Yes, India you are being watched!
Suddenly all eyes of the world are focused on whether this blanket thrown over one state, is actually smothering the people, that not a squeal or shriek is heard from under those heavy covers!
Suddenly all eyes of the world are wondering why a country that boasted of allowing each citizen to follow the religion of his choice, now is answerable to laws who question his right to choose which god to follow!
Suddenly the eyes of the world wonder why some in the country can’t tolerate another’s eating habits and have banned those items from their neighbours tables!
Suddenly the eyes of the world look askance at the number of women who are finding the country unsafe as they are stripped and raped in every city and town!
Suddenly the world asks, how a billion and a quarter people say that all’s well, as they feel their economy sliding, jobs dwindling and food dwindling!
Yes India you are being watched!
It’s during times of victory that the world watches how a victor behaves! Is he gracious to the loser, or is he vicious and vindictive?
It’s during times of victory that strong politicians turn to become great statesmen. It’s during times of electoral victories that gentleness and softness show the strength of a party and leader!
Yes India, today, the world watches and today we can, in this giant arena called India, show the world what we really are, not through brute force, not through the use of arms and muscle but by showing compassion, clemency and calm, all the emotions that the land of Yoga should exude.
We are being watched India, let us rise to the occasion and be worthy of such a close scrutiny..!
