I love the smiling face of Miera Kumar!
Despite the hectic proceedings on Sunday, both Speaker Meira Kumar and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi were seen in different sets of sarees.
During the debate in the Lok Sabha, Kumar wore an orange-coloured saree, while Sonia was seen in maroon. But when both Houses met for a joint sitting in the central hall, the Speaker was seen in pink, while the UPA chief was in a solemn off-white dress.

One of these two is a strong, confident woman. Kind of an idol to look up to. I wish I was in her place. I will do anything to switch my life with hers.
I am completely indifferent towards the other one. I will never understand how we let her become what she is today. Is there such a draught of eligible women in India that THIS (not “she”) is what we are supposed to admire?

Being a public figure in India is not an easy task, especially if you belong to “The” political family, which has been in the forefront of running India after Independence. The Gandhis are constantly under scrutiny by the media and live their life on a public platform. The way a political figure presents him/herself says a lot about what kind of family they are from and what their beliefs are.
Living such a high profile life is Priyanka Gandhi. Growing up in the shadow of her mother, Sonia Gandhi, and her grandmother, Indira Gandhi, Priyanka has imbibed effortless elegance. The Gandhi women have an understated, chic, tailored style. They wear muted colors, crisp cotton sarees with coiffed hair. They represent the modern Indian woman who is strong, yet demure at the same time. Priyanka, too, balances this dichotomy perfectly. She is often seen in her family’s signature style sarees or in fitted trousers or jeans with crisp white shirts and sweaters. Donning the same hair style as her grandmother, Priyanka looks just like a modern day Indira Gandhi.
Her style is very relatable to most young Indian women who are women of today, yet hold traditional values. Her look is very appropriate for any working lady. With a pair of well-fitted, boot cut trousers and a white button down shirt, anyone can achieve it. Even a starched cotton saree is a great office look for the hot Indian temperatures. Keep your face simple and hair neatly pulled back to look as graceful as her. Priyanka’s style says that she is very loyal to her family and identifies with the legacy they have created. Just like her find something that is signature to your family. It could be, pearl ear tops, a locket or even a hair style; include it in your everyday wardrobe and be proud of your lineage on a daily basis.
