WUNDERGROUND - breathing music in your life


 
 
The very concept of WUNDERGROUND is to breathe fresh life into the underground music culture in New Delhi. It’s time for music enthusiasts to experience the gravity and creative freedom of the underground culture. The idea is to shift from the mainstream and open up a crucial space for experimentation.

Underground music values freedom of creative expression over commercial success and a major key to this philosophy is that it represents an aesthetic third space, one which eludes conventional boundaries.

...So, it’s time to bring unabashed energy to the floor… It’s time to experience WUNDERGROUND.

Saree Blouses - Body Fits and Few New Trends


A stylish yet elegant Saree blouse can be made with almost all type of material for example velvet, georgette, chiffon, cotton, silk, etcetera. Blouses are also embellished with embroidery, sequiens, lace, stones, zari, cutdana, mirrors, beads, dubka work and many more.

In the recent times patterns and designs of blouses have evolved and developed. The Indian Bollywood industry and the tele industry have also made a huge impact on the various trends of patterns and designs. Even abroad in the Hollywood many celebrities have come up with their own innovative designs.

Nowadays, the trend is not to match the Saree with the blouse in fact contrasting blouses are in and greater emphasis is paid on the designing of the neck and back area with exclusive embroidery.

The latest simple rule is that your blouse must be simple if your saree is embellished and if the Saree is simple then the blouse needs to be heavily ornamented with embellishments and embroidery.

Long sleeve blouses are in vogue today. The best way to wear the long sleeved blouse is with transparent or semi transparent sleeves. Beautiful lace with intricate pattern should be sewn to full or three quarter length so that it is visible and can stand out.

Saree blouse designs are numerous to choose from. So you must choose a Saree blouse that will accentuate your shape to the greatest extent. A Saree is something that suits almost every woman no matter what the built. But the blouse like any other type of clothing has to fit your shape. All Saree blouse designs don't suit women with different shapes. There are different types of blouses for very skinny women and women in plus sizes. Saree Blouse Designs for Different Body Types:

Skinny Built:

·         If you are on the lighter side of the figure chart then you have to be a little contemporary with your choice.

·         Indian women have always been generously endowed so the basic traditional designs are not for you.

·         Go for fashionable halter necks or in-cut sleeveless blouses with fluttering chiffon sarees.

·         You can also carry of high necked or collared blouses to a great effect.

·         If you are wearing ethnic silk sarees like Kanjivaram or Benarasi then you must go for puffed sleeve Indian Saree blouses. The fluffiness of the sleeve will give some volume to your stringy arms.

Medium Or Athletic Built:

·         This is of course the most versatile shape to dress be it Indian or western so you need not worry much. You can try almost everything.

·         But if you are athletic then a short sleeved neat look will really set you off to advantage.

·         You can try Saree blouse patterns with deep cut necks and backs without hesitation.

·         Yours is the perfect figure to try out innovative Saree blouse designs without fear of goofing up.

·         Be careful not to wear suffocating blouses with no necklines because it will be a waste to hide the beautiful curves and lines of your body.

Heavy Built:

·         Being well rounded does not mean you are fat or obese. Some people are just born plump and here some chic Indian Saree blouse designs for you.

·         You must avoid puff sleeves and sleeveless blouses if you have heavy arms because they will accentuate the flab on your arms.

·         Try to wear three fourth or full sleeved blouses because they are really in these days. For ethnic wear like sarees with thick borders, you can settle for the common half sleeve blouse with the matching border lacing your arms.

·         You can be experimental with necks lines like try a boat neck blouse or a choli-type blouse.

·         Try to wear v-necks because you can make them as deep was you want without the fear of looking improper

The most popular styles of blouses making a rage are:

·         Chinese Collar: the give a sophisticated and professional look and go with every body type fit.

·         Knot tied in front: this is a sexy and alluring blouse pattern. It was made famous by Dimple Kapadia in the movie Bobby

·         Strings at Back: this is a classic style in which the back is left bare and the strings are tied in a crisscross manner.

·         Backless with three quarter sleeves: this pattern is stylish, elegant and a little bit sexy. The backless bit adds the oomph factor to the otherwise simple design

·         Choli with various cuts: this is the most popular design, generally adorned by the Rajasthani women because of its intricate cuts, bright colours, and traditional embroidery. This style is also adorned largely by all Indian women because of  its appeal during festive and eventful occasions

·         Sweetheart Neckline: this style is not only famous in blouses but dresses and evening gowns also. It has a sweet and lovely cut which adds to the feminine charm of the woman wearing it

·         Blouses with halters necks: this style of neck giving the shoulders a bare look looks very sexy and stylish

·         Blouses with strings: this style is a more contemporary design giving the traditional Saree a modern appeal.

·         Heavy Corsets: this style is a takeoff from the Victorian dresses which had tight corsets only these are heavily embellished and generally coupled with a simple Saree

 Saree blouses can also be differently designed with different types of sleeves – full, half, three quarter, sleeveless, puffed sleeves and butterfly sleeves. It’s just a game of mix and match and wearing what suits your personality the best.

JK Rowling returns to the world of Wizardry but without Harry Potter

Studio Warner Bros announced that Rowling will be writting the screenplay for a movie based on "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," her book about the magical universe she created in the boy wizard's stories.

The story will focus on the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander, and is anticipated to be the first in a series. Rowling commented that the movie is "is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world."
She said the story would begin in New York 70 years before the start of Harry Potter's tale. Screenwriting is the latest in a string of new ventures for Rowling since she finished writing the Harry Potter series, which has sold more than 450 million copies around the world.
She has other feathers in her hat she has already published a novel for adults, "The Casual Vacancy," and written detective thriller "The Cuckoo's Calling" under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

Rowling said the idea for a "Fantastic Beasts" film had come from Warner Bros., and she soon realized she could not entrust another writer with her creation. She further commented that she felt protective about her universe and she already knew a lot about Newt and as she thought of the Warner Bros  proposal, the idea took shape and she couldn’t dislodge it

Warner Bros said "Fantastic Beasts" would be "developed across the studio's video game, consumer products and digital initiatives businesses."

Warner Bros, a unit of Time Warner Inc, was behind eight Harry Potter movies released between 2001 and 2011. Since the film series wrapped up, the company has been involved in related ventures including a Harry Potter studio tour near London, Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida, and the Pottermore website. Also the company would be the worldwide distributor for a television adaptation of "The Casual Vacancy." The BBC is due to film the miniseries next year.
