17 Handbags No One Will Believe You Found on the High Street

There was a time when a love for vinyl was a reference to your sizable record collection, but now this historically risqué fabric has entrenched itself in the mainstream (well, the fashion mainstream anyway). Wipe clean and high impact, every item of clothing you could think of has been given the vinyl treatment—from trousers and coats to skirts and accessories—instantly transforming any run-of-the-mill item into a serious statement piece.

The vinyl-ambivalent can rest assured that there are plenty of ways to work this look without looking like a bin-liner. If the idea of stepping out in a pair of vinyl trousers terrifies you then there are plenty of high-shine accessories around that will allow you to dip your toe in. Take your cues from Harriet Stewart who elevates her denim dungarees with a pair of red patent boots. Or, if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, then the vinyl midi skirt is the thing for you. The secret is to keep the rest of your outfit simple a la Lisa Aiken (think white tee and heeled boots) and prepare to turn heads. Scroll down for our full edit of vinyl outfits.

Bharathi Park again in the news, Smoking out the clean air

Source: The residents near Bharathi Park in Saibaba Colony, are in for another bout of health hazard with the Corporation staff burning the waste inside the park premises, which incidentally also has the office of the Chief Engineer, TWAD West Region nearby. It also has a maternity hospital in the neighbourhood a workshop in the vicinity. The issue has been raised on WhatsApp and also with the Junior Engineer regarding this. No action has been forthcoming from the officials. To go back this is not the first time this is happening, says a resident Jayachandran, quoting officials that they will not repeat this. This has led to various cough and lung related health issues to be on the rise in the neighbouting areas since the air is thick with smog after the smoke from the park envelopes the area in the evening. Here is a video of the incident, and Jayachandran says the tree is almost dying underwhich the fire is lit.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wG4eDafMJy8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> We apologise for the vertical alignment of the video but hope you get the picture.

Demonetization- a lay person view

Source: [caption id="attachment_175" align="alignnone" width="510"]<img class="wp-image-175 size-full" src="https://yourcoimbatore.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/paytm-toi-ad.jpg" alt="Ad by PayTM " width="510" height="571" /> An ad taken out by PayTM post demonetisation[/caption] I am no economist or political analyst. I am a layperson with some interest in politics, social life and economics. I was in deep slumber unaware of what this country is undergoing when WhatsApp messages started flooding on the night of November 8th. I am an urban middle class woman, living in IT capital of India and so no personal worries about what I would do without cash. I might need few thousands in cash to buy vegetables, pay the tailor, milkman and my maid. The first question which came to my mind was- what would people do without cash in hand? Facts revealed that 86% of the money is not worthy. We are a cash-based economy! You know that street food/ vegetable/ grocer/ daily wage/ eateries… the list can go on… all deal with cash. You know that many do not hold bank accounts. I guess it is common-sense. I was not sure how this would help curb black money (as claimed)- one, can guess that the money is stashed in Swiss account, as Benami land registrations, as gold, as dollars or any other foreign currency. Is this a way to curb black money? There are loopholes. One could see reports on Jan-Dhan accounts getting activated and money credited suddenly (upto 21,000 crore), deposits in Benami account, cash being burnt and so many stories. So who is standing in the Bank queues? People with few thousands or may be a lakh or two. Women who do not have personal accounts, poor and the middle class. Is that black money? My maid who has saved few thousands, my mother over years who has saved few thousands. Is that black money? Chaos doubles: After two days you understand that ATMs are not recalibrated for these new 2000rs. notes and they are still printed! One wonders how would anyone- being a P.M, in a responsible post, representing the entire nation takes such hasty decisions. Were there any consultations? The RBI is baffled, bank staffs are over worked, and the Supreme Court is raising questions (on the PIL filed), there is chaos and the common people are inconvenienced. After two weeks one hears that GDP would be reduced and business are affected. Goldman Sachs has forecast a deceleration of GDP from 7.6 to 6.8 percent. The All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) reports that goods movement are affected. Jute, tea and garment industry is affected, sowing and harvesting are both affected. One might hear more. There are opinions that recession is a possibility and economy would take a year or more to regain with cash flow and liquidity. Surprisingly, centre claims that it is a success and the middle class assume that the problem is only about standing in a queue and generally favour the move.
