A friend of mine called me after seeing an old photograph of mine posted on one of the social media platforms to ask whether I remembered the pair of shoes I was wearing. Yes, it was the fashion then and bought it for Rs15/= and was a darling of many. How many have borrowed it, we lost count. He said that he wore it for his Army interviews and one of his other important personal events too, promising to send some pictures of him in those high-heeled boots which unfortunately never occurred hitherto. Then another day, another friend of mine called me after getting his house prepared for the new year to say that he loved our old house with a few essential pieces of furniture because he was tired of moving, dusting, and sweeping many items scattered in the household that had accumulated over the year and had some sentimental value to him and his wife, but their children did not want to be part of any of those. Our house in Charles Place was like a boarding house to many outsiders with alw...

  A seed bank is a collection of seeds from various plant species that are stored for the purpose of conservation and future use. The seeds are typically dried and stored in a cool, dark place to maintain their viability. Seed banks can be maintained by organizations, governments, and research institutions, and they can be used for a variety of purposes, such as preserving genetic diversity, protecting endangered species, and supplying seeds for research and breeding programs. Some seed banks focus on preserving a specific type of plant, such as crop plants or wildflowers, while others have a more general collection. Creating a seed bank from scratch requires several steps: Develop a plan: Before starting a seed bank, it's important to have a clear idea of what types of seeds you want to collect and why. Consider factors such as the types of plants you want to preserve, the climate and conditions in which they will be stored, and the resources available to you. Co...

Some famous national dresses from around the world include the Kilt from Scotland, the Sari from India, the Cheongsam from China, the Dirndl from Germany, the Kimono from Japan, the Hanbok from South Korea, the Dashiki from West Africa, the Abaya from the Middle East, and the Poncho from Mexico. These are just a few examples, as different countries and cultures have their own unique traditional garments. The Kilt is a traditional garment worn by men from Scotland. It is a knee-length skirt made of woollen fabric, with pleats in the back that are usually worn to the side. The origins of the kilt can be traced back to the 16th century, when the great kilt, or belted plaid, was worn by Highlanders. This was a large piece of cloth that was wrapped around the body and belted at the waist, with the excess material hanging down to form a kilt. In the 18th century, the small kilt, or phillabeg, was developed. This was a shorter version of the great kilt, with the pleats sewn do...

  A national anthem is a patriotic song that is officially recognized by a country as an expression of national identity and unity. It is often played at national events, ceremonies, and on national holidays. The lyrics and music of a national anthem often reflect the history, culture, and values of a country. Some countries have more than one national anthem. The national anthem of Greece, "Hymn to Liberty" (Greek: Ύμνος εις την Ελευθερίαν), is the longest national anthem in the world, with 158 stanzas. The anthem was written by Dionysios Solomos in 1823 and set to music by Nikolaos Mantzaros in 1828. It is not typically performed in its entirety; only the first two stanzas and the last three stanzas are typically sung. The full version of the anthem is very rarely performed, usually only on special occasions and anniversaries. The "Himno Nacional de Uruguay" (English: "National Anthem of Uruguay"), also known by its incipit "Oriental...
