COLOURFUL TRUCKS



It is a well known fact the land of Pakistan flourishes with various forms of arts and crafts and out of many, one wonderful kind is the truck art. So today my post is about the colourful truck or the truck art.In Pakistan the Drivers of the truck love to paint their trucks and invest money to decorate and paint in order to distinguish their artwork. Not only trucks but you will also find customized buses with paintings. Such vehicles are considered to be moving art . Due to unique style of decoration, trucks of Pakistan look different from other trucks decorating styles. In fact truck owners feel very proud if their trucks are in a distinctive style from others. Overall the look of a truck that is ready after décor is very colourful.




Now I talk about the elements and trends that are used in this kind of art are foliage prints, floral motifs, birds, animals, landscapes and portraits of famous people in Pakistan. Along with this some other things are the use of ornaments such as chains that have bells attached so that they ring and produce sound whenever the truck is moving. Mirror work is also done to give it a shiny appearance. Moreover some people also ask the decorators to write verses on the back of the trucks along with the art that are sometimes serious and wise and sometimes really funny and interesting to read for example,
Dehkh magr pyar sy
Maa ki doua janat ki hawa
Pappu yr tang na kr
Palat k dekh ly zalim
Sanam bewafa



So its all about the colour of truck or truck decoration .

Fashion V/S Vulgarity

“FASHION V/S VULGARITY”

Fashion in our society now considered or called as style .Fashion is whatever style is adopted by the human’s .Being fashionable is now being sensible. A person who follows trends nowadays is considered as being versatile or sensible and the person who does not follow fashion is not considered as simple but he is considered as being non fashionable, he or she is not up to the mark. The people in our society treat such people very badly or do not match the living trends or custom of the society.
But on the other hand if we see our surrounding fashion does not seems to be trendy but it is growing towards vulgarity being exposed like in this picture.


Nowadays being fashionable is not being fashionable is not being trendy but it is being vulgar. People who expose or move toward nudity or wear non suitable clothes are considered as Fashionable these days.

There are some people who consider fashion as consider them posses’ backward approach. They think that the person who follows fashion is rich, and he/she is against religion. But some peoples thinks that they have to wear that which suits on them like in this picture u can see that girl she is confident of his dressing.


As a matter of fact fashion does not always means vulgarity .This is a need of society but fashion must carry out in a certain limit. It is not the matter of religion but we should despise and discourage all nudity. Fashion can be carried out in an elegant way. Therefore it concluded that fashion must be followed by everyone but keeping in mind our religion and whatever suits us. The dress should be dignified & not provocative.

                        "Simplicity is the key note of all true elegance”

Smiling Styles


J Different Ways of Smile J

A smile is a social act that can convey sympathy, embarrassment, amusement and more. Read on to discover how to deliver meaningful smiles.



Slow & Steady Smile

The way of that smile and posture tells that u r ready for camera shot.



Funny, HaHaHa Smile

To spot the quintessential amused smile, look for a thrown-back head and eyes nearly closed shut in laughter.



Real Smile

This is a real and genuine smile, the muscles around the eyes contract in voluntarily and a slight fold develops at the eye  brows. 


Thoughtful Smile

This is a thoughtful smile, the corners of the mouth are turned up and eyes possess that faraway look. To up the flirt factor of the expression, try touching your face, a gesture that indicates preening to the opposite sex.



Concentrated Smile

This faint smile (with brows slightly raised and revealing a hint of teeth) conveys interest in what's being said and lets the speaker know you're all ears.


Amused Smile

Raising your brows and glancing upward while half-smiling creates a look that seems to say, "I have no idea what you're talking about."





 

Fake Smile

This is fake smile. No crinkling around the eyes.



Forced Smile

Unlike the traditional forced smile, the mouth here is non-committal, with one side slightly more raised than the other.



Guilty Smile

 It’s a guilty smile…Biting your nails, nervous, abashed expression.



Mother’s Smile

This hard, jaw-clenched version of a smile is the kind Mom used to force her mouth into when reprimanding you in public.

HOW COLOURFUL FLOWERS INFLUENCE IN OUR LIFE





Roses are the most well know flower for expressing your emotions. Throughout the years, the meanings behind the various colors of roses have become known.
The rose has, for many years been a symbol of love and affection.,throughout the Renaissance era.
Now I tel you the language of some rose flowers which are as follows.




Red is the most commonly given color of roses. Red signifies love and passion. Dark red is the rose for lovers, while bright red roses symbolize passion, and desire.







Yellow roses have meant jealousy in the past, but today the yellow rose is a way of showing friendship, and sympathy.



Orange roses symbolize an expression of pride or achievement, while peach or light pink roses signify appreciation and can mean desire at time


Pink roses symbolize elegance or romance. Pink roses are not as serious as the traditional red, and can simply mean admiration. Light pink roses can be a way of showing sympathy and friendship, whereas dark pink is symbolic of appreciation. A mixture of pink and red roses symbolize a romantic relationship


White roses are commonly used for the bride's roses. They symbolize unity, loyalty, purity, and true love. White roses can be mixed with red roses to expand the meaning of love.

Purple roses are normally represented with the fantasy aspect of culture. They can symbolize eternal love, intimacy, and also are appropriates for wedding anniversaries, over 20 years. They also are considered as a memorial flower for the loss of a spouse.



Black roses commonly are symbolic of death, sometimes being viewed as a bad omen.








Many colors of roses come in different shades, which can have different meanings. If you are unsure of a certain color, or if you have many feelings to express, a mixture of different colors  in one bouquet is a great way to express many emotions.:) J




Apart from rose colors, If a rose is almost fully bloomed, it is a way of saying "I will always love you," and a rose bud is usually given in new relationships.
So the colours are very impoertant for our fellings n emotions

Nail art, the practice of painting decorative designs on your fingernails, is a fun way to brighten up your everyday look or accessorize a special occasion outfit. There are a variety of designs available, ranging from subtle and understated to funky and outrageous. The key to any successful nail design is starting with clean and well-shaped nails. Nails should be neatly trimmed and filed before painting. While most nail art designs are created simply using various colors of nail polish, you can add sparkle to your designs by mixing glitter into one or more of the polish colors before painting your nails. Using stick-on jewels is another great way to jazz up a simple motif. Tiny stickers can make it easier to create more elaborate designs.
