Tricolour in Style
The city, on the eve of Independence Day, becomes a canvas of patriotism. It’s a subtle yet vibrant expression of national pride, seen in the small, personal details of everyday fashion. A walk through the metro today revealed an infectious energy, a visual story of how young kids are celebrating the nation’s tricolor.
Girls paint their nails in the saffron, white, and green of the Indian flag. It is not a single block of colour; it is a careful, artistic tribute. A saffron-tipped nail, a white stripe, and a final, confident green. This small detail speaks volumes about their personal and creative connection to the day. However, the white often serves as a canvas for the other two colours. It is common to see a white kurta paired with a vibrant saffron or green dupatta. These dupattas, though plain, carry deep meaning. They sway with every movement, a gentle reminder of the flag’s presence. Accessories also play a key role.
A little girl, no older than five, was seen with a captivating display of bangles. She had one bangle of each colour — saffron, white, and green, on each hand. Youngest among us appreciate the day’s significance, making these moments truly special.
