<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN">The need for a
conversation on Elegance versus Style arises triggered by the confusion thrown
up by <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the huge amount of chatter in
social media and newspapers supplements and publication on what is the best
/recommended or latest in fashion and the right dressing style to adopt for the
social DOs or the workplace. A few decades back when the world was not so
globalised and internet and media did not exit in every nook and corner,
women<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>both playing traditional roles as
well as those who were charting out careers as doctors, teachers, lawyers,
actors etc did not have so many choices of fashion or so many advisors from
designers and fashionistas and yet they actually developed an innate sense of
style and elegance and carried themselves impressively with their unique
personality and confidence and dressed elegantly for every occasion. Today we
are spoilt for choice and in all these crowded sartorial offerings, we are
swayed by ever changing suggestions. The result is chaotic dressing. While
people are often fashionably dressed or even expensively dressed, the sense of
elegance is not always represented. While many may claim to be fashionable, not
everyone can claim to be stylish or elegant these days. Are we missing
something? Are we loosing on some basic understanding? Is it important to
understand and develop a sense of style and elegance?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN">In this modern
world, men and women are working shoulder to shoulder on all areas of society, travelling
for work, balancing home responsibilities with workplace responsibilities and
meeting the world and encountering the diverse cultures of the world, the
influences on fashion and clothes are many and continuous. The pace of life is
fast and so is the pace of changing fashion. A profusion of designers within
the country and the world are not just creating designs for clothes , they are
also creating demands. The apparel industry and the designers apart from being
triggered by creative urgency are also triggered by economic reasons to keep
the changes happening, to innovate, to modify , to recycle, to shock but
basically keep the movement and conversation going so that the focus does not
shift from the fashion industry. Today a good section of media is focussed on
capturing what the celebrities were and what is the ’right airport fashion’.
The craze has reached a peak when earlier the focus was on comfort dressing
while travelling. Some good may come out of it by way of new easy and
comfortable dressing norms but the negative side is that people often blindly
follow celebrities and ends up spend huge amounts of money trying to be righty
dressed irrespective of whether it suits them or not. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN">Perhaps a few
things will help to survive in this crazy rat race to outdo one another or even
be at par with what is the latest. Also in this age where image makes a great
deal of difference, developing a well put together look goes a long way. Perhaps
a close look at what one’s life style is – what is the major aspect of one’s
life? Is it largely that of a working woman, a student, a home maker, a
frequent business traveller? That will decide what kind of clothes may be
mostly required. A flashy unsuitable look gives a very wrong impression. Secondly
while it is nice to get new clothes often to keep up with the trends, it is
even nicer to opt for some classic styles which can be used for all occasions,
mixed and matched with accessories. This is not just to manage budget but also
to ensure that the constant buy and discard can be avoided. It is important to
remember that style is more permanent and fashion gets recycled and if an
apparel is stylish and versatile it will stand us in good stead. Thirdly the
social context must be considered, as to whether the event is a business
meeting or a evening dinner or a family gathering. Minimalism in jewellery
usually works well for workplaces but a few light accessories which can be
quickly added always help if one has to rush to a dinner afterwards. Sobriety
and Decency in dressing is as important in workplace as well as formal social
dinners and even social parties, it always smacks of class and good taste.
Comfort and carriage is an important aspect while choosing clothes. Whatever
can be carried well and lends comfort makes one look good. Developing a
personal style over a period of time by choosing specific styles of clothes and
cultivating an image is a good idea for some instead of a confused hotch potch
look. Finally it is the personality which always outshines clothes, so the
focus must be to groom oneself in carriage, speech, tonal modulation, walk and
carrying oneself with confidence. With that in place, and a few well chosen
classy pieces , a few<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indian and few
western which can be considered versatile for many occasions a person is well
set for a fast paced lifestyle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Economic
independence empowers women by giving them the ability to make choices, to make
impact both on their own lives and society in a far wider range of ways than
ever before. What we cannot control, controls us – be it people or habbits or
circumstances. If we allow others to control us we are enslaved to their likes
and preferences, their ideas and actions and their prescriptions.. If we observe
the</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">women in society who were or are
dependent on men be it their father, brothers or husband or children we will
also note that largely the ability to make life’s choices also resides with the
provider of financial support.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">So when
women are denied the rights to education and employment or women choose to be
dependent on others for financial support it implies giving up one’s ability to
decide, denial of the basic freedom to choose their life’s path and goals It is
precisely due to this , in the earlier day when women were dependent that they
were relegated to the role of the ‘fragile, subservient, the helpless and of
course the oppressed. They were handed down their role by others, they had to
be the ideal daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and their life rotated around
the series of responsibilities to serve, please, care and comfort others at the
cost of often extreme sacrifices of their health and happiness.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN">Irrespective of
whether there is financial criticality in a family to have the women work and
earn money or not, the need for every women to be educated, to develop skills
and abilities to find ways of financial independence cannot be denied. The impacts
of economic independence of women are many – it goes beyond just providing food
on the table. Women comprise 50% of the population so in a society if 50% of
the population are not educated or empowered or unable to decide for themselves
what their lives should be, then the society cannot be balanced, it is
crippled. A child born to educated, empowered mother has a father better
starting point in life and hopefully much less struggle in every sense to
evolve and grow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earlier a girl child
was brought up with the notion that marriage is the ultimate goal and hence
skill must be developed solely for that family life. Subjugation and
exploitation of women within the families both financially and psychologically
as well as mal practices like dowry deaths all are well documented and still
happens in our country in some parts of society. But as women got educated and
more and more women stepped up and stepped out these atrocities also reduced,
though not eradicated. To eradicate them, the women must play a leadership role
to lift and empower other women. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN">Today thankfully
we have<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>progressed enough and today
women are shattering frontiers, leaving their marks,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and they are flying planes, being rocket
scientist, educationists, doctors, police officers, army officers, explorers, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and the list goes on to cover the entire gamut
of jobs and profession society can offer. But harassment of women continue at
public places, workplaces. Safety of women are a big issue in our country which
once revered women. Rapes and Molestation cases are happening everyday. One
example of a step in the right direction taken to curb this is the initiative
by Kolkata Police which has recently launched the Women Police force ‘ The
Winners’ to monitor patrol the streets and ensure safety for women from eve
teasing and crime against women. The core message is clear – the women must be
empowered for their own betterment and for betterment of society. Women must
take charge for they are the ‘Shakti’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e2c5e0a1-1142-dd8f-9221-9f8551366068"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our Traditional culture of hospitality and warmth is deep rooted. In Sanskrit there is a saying that we are familiar with courtesy the may promotional material on tourism. “Atithhee Devo Bhava’/ We are taught to treat our guests as god be it at our home or in our homeland. The implication is that we should welcome and open our arms and treat our guests with love and respect, dignity and ensure the comfort safety and honour that we bestow on god.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-24b09831-1143-1356-b547-3fe6ba658d64"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back to modern times tourism is no longer confined to people travelling for the sake of seeing the world. Tourism today has many facets – people need to travel for medical purposes, for employment, for skill training, education and research, for photography, for business opportunity, for agricultural initiatives or for preservation of nature and world, for social work and the list goes on. This of course opens up the conversation on what is possible and what can be done by way of support services to ensure that we have the right infrastructure and services and the cultural readiness to support the multi dimensional and multi cultural environment that is the rising trend worldwide.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-db8c08d1-1143-390f-9ea9-9632a39564ff"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tourism sector needs to gear up to offer not just the traditional package to tourists but perhaps needs to come up with innovative packages which could attract and meet the expectation of the people travelling for passion like culinary adventure or photography or skill training or new initiatives. Times Travel does a passion travel trail for art and culture and culinary trail. More players need to come up with ideas that can attract people to make journeys possible. Medical tourism is an area that has brought in large number of people to India from the neighbouring countries of India where medical facilities and expertise are not as good. Since medical treatment in USA or some other developed countries are expensive, a lot of people from Africa and other Asian countries as well as some developed countries come to India for more affordable but world class treatment. The fact that most educated Indians speak a high amount of English also helps. India’s booming services of diagnostics and telemedicine are triggers.</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-a092b7d7-1143-53af-47a5-b06b32a14473"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hospitality Sector’s is closely related to this growth in incoming tourists. Be it the need for affordable but good accommodation facilities to meet all ranges of pockets or the need for healthy hygienic food, support services for the elderly and sick ( transport, forex, safety , valet, Ayurvedic treatment Spa, ) the need and possibilities are endless. Not just large scale hotels and corporate services, a lot of small initiatives to bring in localised facilities are possible. Skill of language is something that can be leverages since not every from other countries may be comfortable with English. Translator services is clearly possible. Likewise a lot of other people to people support services and offerings are possible creating further employment opportunities. Young students from Hospitality sector or other sector equipped with skills to deal with people or all the range of skills taught at a finishing school may be able to participate and steer growth in these areas.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">It is
known fact that Man is a social animal. Living in close knit communities and
interacting with others and forging a close bond are the traits of human
society. In the past the interacting with friends and family across long
distances has been a concern but by primitive yet innovative and creative means
since ancient times man has always managed to communicate over distances to strengthen
their relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">IN the
modern age, the emergence of handy social media tools started first with the recognizable
social media site, Six Degrees, in 1997. It allowed users to upload a profile
and make friends with other users. By the year 1999, the first blogging sites
became popular and since then over the years people have flocked to social
media sites for communication and sharing and entertainment. Emergence of
MySpace, LinkediN, Orbit, Facebook, Photobucket, Flickr, You Tube,
Twitter,Tumblr, Spotify, Pinterrest,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Whatsapp all paved the way for exciting life on the social media. Today
both business and personal life thrive on social media. Majority of the world
population uses social media on regular basis sharing their life and
information with the virtual world at every opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The internet
is not a very secure place, inspite of all the security measures. Nor is it a
very private place. We feel what we are posting or sharing is secure and
private but that is really often an illusion. Often we share too much of our
self on the social media, often we post very personal information or moments,
often people accept virtual friends without really knowing the person and fall
prey to the dangers. The hackers on the internet often break the security
measures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The apps you use or games you
play may have been equipped to record your keystrokes, every photo you upload
is archived. The recent case of data exploitation, exposure and pilferage by
organizations such as Cambridge Analytica is proof of the dangers that lie in
this age of life on social media. The extensive grilling of Facebook founder
Mark Zuckerberg by American senators has been shared on all platform. One can deactivate
a Facebook account or other social media account but not really delete it.
Facebook always maintains a copy of your deactivated account and it will always
be there and hackers love to hack inactive accounts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The
Children are particularly vulnerable on the virtual world. That is why along
with Parental Control there is a need to use the built-in firewalls on the
routers to block out specific websites from the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are enough cases of bullying via social
media from the circle of ever growing FB friends of children. Bullying is no
longer confined to schools, it continues via social media.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">How one
behaves on the social media has a far greater impact on other areas of life. Today
employers often base their hiring on the impression they get about a candidate
based on his/her social media behaviour and preferences as it reveals the
traits of a person. If a person is seen to project undesirable behaviour the employers
often reject the candidate at the outset. That apart background check is
becoming mandatory everywhere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">All the
above is not to say that we should refrain from using the internet or stay away
from social media. Frankly in today’s world shunning the social media
completely is not possible. However it would be wise to curb and control what
we post on the Internet. This means that the social media has invaded into
every area of our life today and the level of personal privacy we can safeguard
is always challenged. It is necessary to remember that our information and
posts actually gets exposed and even shared or stolen in a virtual world full
of hundreds of thousands of people who may not all have the honest intention.
We should therefore be cautious and judicious when we are posting on the social
media and ensure that we do not post anything that we may not be comfortable
sharing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mrs Sharma’s phone was ringing in the
next room and she called out to her daughter Shalini to bring her the phone as
she was busy talking to the carpenter who was doing some sundry wood work in the
guest room. She was expecting some guests in a few weeks and she wanted to add
a couple of night stands and a small shelf to the room. The phone continued to
ring and finally her maid Lakshmi fetched her the phone but by then it had
stopped ringing. “This is the problem with Shalini nowadays, she is just not
attentive to anything we say...not focused and constantly on her mobile with
her friends”. She read on the caller ID
that it was from her brother in Bangalore and called right back to be informed
excitedly that her nephew had cracked the entrance exam to study B.Tech in a
reputed college. Well next year it would be Shalini’s turn to choose a career
path and Mrs Sharma was concerned about what it would be? Numerous rounds of
family discussions had happened but without any concrete conclusion excepting
for the fact that it would definitely not be Engineering or Science. Shalini felt
that she had no orientation toward science subjects. She had had to work really
hard at them in school because they were compulsory subjects. She felt that she
was more artistically inclined, had loved many of the subjects in the arts
stream, achieved rather decent marks in exams and was really talented in many
creative areas. But she was still very indecisive about what she should take
up. Once it was this and the next it was that, a week later it was something
very different. Mrs Sharma did not want to push her daughter into anything, she
wanted Shalini to decide for herself and be happy with her decision because it
was something she would pursue and invest her time in for the rest of her life.
She decided to follow the same route
that her brother had suggested i.e. to put Shalini in an environment which
would enable her to decide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mrs. Sharma browsed through the
website of Good Shepherd Finishing School on recommendation of a close friend
whose daughter too had faced similar dilemma and had greatly benefitted from
being a part of one of the programs that the school offered. She studied in
detail the different programs on offer and the topics and activities covered
under each with excellent photographic evidence. She liked what she saw,
especially the different competitive events where the learners had the
opportunity to excel and earn merit certificates in addition to the certificate
for the program in which they enrolled. She shared her research with her
husband and suggested that they should put Shalini in the Good Shepherd Finishing
School for a six-week program during the summer vacation following her Board
Exams as she awaited the results. It would allow Shalini to attempt learning
different and new skills and decide what she liked best and what gave her the
thrill, the high and perhaps lead to a decision on her choice of a career path.
If still undecided, she would at least come back as a well-groomed, confident
and poised young lady.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="height: 0px;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And true to the school’s promise, a
few months later, when Shalini returned after completing the six-week program at
the Finishing School, her eyes were shining with happiness and confidence. She had
liked the place, the program, the facilitators and mentors and most of all she
had loved the facilities and infrastructure and the world of ideas and options it
had opened up for her. She now wanted to attend the 9 months’ program which
would allow her to learn and practice more of the skills that held her interest
and help her explore further her own interests and abilities. She had already
decided that she would do a bachelor’s program in fashion design followed by a master’s
program in fashion business. She was now well informed on the best possible
Universities where she could do these formal degree programs and the kind of
career options that would be available to her. She was immensely grateful to
the school for opening up this world of possibilities to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

beautifully laid out dining tables in the dining hall, the well decorated
Christmas tree in the centre and the red, green and silver decorations around
the hall, much of which had been her daughter Shannon’s ideas. The Christmas
carols being played softly in the background created a sense of serene
festivity. She was very proud of how her little boutique hotel had shaped up
with years of careful personal touches and now every year, throughout the year
it enjoyed a steady inflow of guests from around country as well as from
overseas who came to spend the year-end festive season in Kerala. The word of
mouth from past guests had helped greatly in making the hotel popular. The
feedback on the popular travel portals were indeed effective.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

exactly 20 minutes the pre-lunch drinks would be served in the lounge after
which the guests would move to the restaurant for the Christmas lunch. She
needed a few minutes to sit down and catch her breath before the real bustle
started. She remembered the years of struggle when she was widowed at a tender
age with only an infant girl for company and no other support. Her husband who
had been serving in the army had been martyred in the line of duty. All she had
been left with was the family’s ancestral house and some land around it. She
had opened a small bakery and started catering to birthday parties and other
festivities alongside. It generated a regular income and before long she had
started a paying guest accommodation and started renting out the extra rooms to
working ladies. It started well and in approximately five years, she
managed to take a moderate bank loan and extend the house to make it into a
boutique hotel. She stumbled but persisted and learnt from her failure and
today she was considered a successful hotelier and an effective businessperson.
She had dared not give up for at the time when she had commenced her business,
she had constantly reminded herself that she had a daughter to bring up, educate
and inspire. She had to groom her into a competent lady. When Shannon was ten
years old, Mrs. Varghese had sent he to The Good Shepherd International School
and there she studied not only till her high school but also with the Finishing
School learning the various life skills, career skills and the professional
skills that would be of value to deal with people especially in the hospitality
business. She also did a higher degree in hotel administration to add to her
professional skills.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

fully committed to the running of her mother’s business. Mrs. Marina
Varghese often observed her daughter quietly when she dealt with enquiries,
guests, the staff, the suppliers and corporate clients. From the shy little
girl, Shannon had turned into a charming, poised and confident young lady who
was now adept at dealing with different kinds of people and addressing their
different needs. She was very active in the local community too. helping in
Church activities to raise funds for the local orphanage and old age home. Just
the other day, Rev. D’Souza had made it a point to regale Mrs Varghese with
details of all the wonderful work that Shannon had been doing on behalf of the
church.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

tight grip on the operations of the hotel, she was happy to go along with the
many new ideas and initiatives Shannon was initiating to make the hotel more
attractive to the families who came to spend their vacation. The hotel
had about 20 rooms, a combination of double occupancy and family rooms. These
days the bookings were all completed online and much in advance. Shannon fully
understood the importance of using social media to promote the existing
business and generate new business and used it to her advantage. The location
of the hotel, the view, the well-manicured garden, the spa and Jacuzzi,
baby-sitting services for children, safe play zone for kids, organic food and
attentive staff all ensured good customer satisfaction. Mrs Varghese wanted to
build up another floor and discussed this with Shannon but as Shannon pointed
out to her, there was no limit to aspiration, however the point was to manage
well what they had and not grow beyond their capacity to manage happily, the
point was to enjoy and be satisfied with what they did and participate in the
community development activities as well. Mrs Varghese knew that Shannon
was right and she credited her Schools for instilling the right values, giving
a balanced perspective and the ability to be socially responsible. She knew
that when the time came Shannon would be able to run the hotel independently
and with efficiency and good sense. But for the present, it was time for the
Christmas lunch to commence and Mrs Varghese stopped her thoughts and went to
ring the bell.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interactions. The world will have a generation of idiots.” – Albert Einstein.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">It was a weekend evening and the members
of the Mankar family were gathered in the living room to catch up on a much
needed family time and to plan out the next family holiday. The weekdays were
usually very busy for all, Mr. And Mrs Mankar were professionals and their two
children, two twin girls aged nearly 18 years were involved with preparing for
their college admissions. The weekends were usually time for the family to be
together. The twins were as different from each other as possible, one was sports
oriented and the other was more inclined towards art. One was a bit feisty and
the other quieter however they were always close to each other. Their pet dog
and a couple of domestic support staff made up the rest of the family. It was a
family with well organized schedules and routines and in the large expansive
house sometimes the atmosphere was so quiet even when the family members
gathered in the same room that it might lead one to wonder whether the house
was unoccupied. Of course from time to time when the in-laws and extended
family visited and stayed with them the home seemed far more vibrant and
bustling.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">As the tea and snacks were being cleared
away, Mrs Swati Mankar asked if anyone had any suggestions or preferences for
the family holiday. There were a few mumbles from the kids for their attention
was glued to their mobile screens, their fingers rapidly tapping on the keys,
perhaps exchanging or responding to messages or surfing on social media sites
or playing games. This was often the scene in the household of late and Mr
Mankar was equally caught up between responding to calls and watching
television. His attention too was divided and needless to say the discussion on
the holiday plan did not progress as expected. However, Mrs Mankar had already foreseen
this scenario and had already made up her mind with regards to the upcoming
vacation.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">As a child psychologist, Mrs Mankar
dealt with various behavioural issues with children of different age groups, on
a regular basis. In her children she did not see any deviational behaviour that
could be of major concern, however lately she has been involved in several
cases involving teenagers which has made her aware of the impact of social
media and gadgets on children and she was prone to comparing and observing her
own children against these latest trends. She had read enough about how
destructive and obsessive the games were and about the negative impact of
social media on children. She had also noted that conversation among the family
members had become minimal. They were all like isolated entities even when in
the same room, a sense of detachment was visible in her teenage daughters. Even
when her daughters were sitting with each other there was more finger tapping
on the mobile phone than verbal exchanges. This was not normal, because they
were each other’s best friends; giggles, gossip, leg pulling and fights were
normal.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Last month when the grandparents were
here and there were family get-togethers she noted that the children did not
spend enough time with the grandparents or did not participate in the family
conversations. Her children and their cousins even when in a group were more
focused on mobiles or laptops and any questions to them were answered in
monosyllables. She had seen these children walk with a drooping shoulders, head
bent down with eyes on mobile, staying up late to be on Facebook or play online
games. They were neither interested in their family nor their surroundings.
They were often lethargic and groggy and even irritable if dragged into a
conversation. It was not at an acute stage yet but if something had to be done
it had to be done now. Soon the daughters would go to college and be away from
home, there would be less and less of family time.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">She took up the conversation with her
husband post dinner as they were retiring for the day. She shared her fears and
her suggestion that this time the holiday must be planned in such a way that
for that 3 weeks they could be in the midst of deep nature where network
signals were frail and the access to internet entirely cut off. She suggested a
coffee estate deep within Masinaguri where her sister had visited with her
family. There are enough opportunities for activities like trekking, animal
safari, photography, story-telling by the bonfire, local bands coming in to
entertain guests with country music, visit to coffee a factory, pottery making,
some gardening, etc. Basically there was enough to keep guests engaged and help
them enjoy the leisurely pace and rejuvenate from the fatigue of modern life.
Soon all arrangements were finalised, although the children did not readily
like the idea of being so isolated.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">They reached Masinaguri resort and
settled in to enjoy their holiday and within a day or two, Mrs Mankar saw her
daughters laughing more, talking to each other more, going out for walks and
treks, participating enthusiastically in the different activities and above all
making friends and being social. Mrs Mankar was exceedingly happy with the
outcome of her holiday plans but she began contemplating if something could be
done to make this change more permanent. In a conversation with Mrs. Simon, the
owner of the resort, she mentioned her concerns and Mrs Simon suggested that
they should consider sending their girls to the Good Shepherd Finishing School
in Ooty.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Mrs Simon explained that the School,
located in Ooty nestled in the pristine hills of the Nilgiris mountain range
had courses on offer which helped change ‘a young girl into a lady’, The
residential programs covered topics like the art of self-presentation, public
speaking, protocol, etiquettes and social graces to help handle every
interaction in every social setup with poise and confidence. The learners were
exposed to different sports including squash, horse-riding and golf; a foreign
language; musical instruments of their choice; baking and cooking of several
popular national and international dishes and different competitions to prove
their merit in learning. Mrs Simon connected her with a counsellor from the
school who filled her in with more details about the school and the programs on
offer. Mr and Mrs Mankar were suitably impressed and decided to go ahead with
admitting their girls to the school. And a few months later when the Mankar
girls returned home after completing the program, the parents observed with
awe, the impressive changes in the behaviour of the girls who were now poised,
confident and well-mannered young ladies and made a mental note to send a
heartfelt ‘thank you’ note to Mrs Simon.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

she’s about ten years old and running around in an open field with her cousins
and siblings, playing and chasing each other. They’re calling out to her ‘come
on Golu, come on Moti, catch me, catch me’. She’s running as hard as she can
but often not fast enough, often tumbling down and getting up shamefacedly as
the others laugh. The name ‘Golu’ and ‘Moti’ were given to her lovingly because
she was plump, her actual pet-name was something else which they hardly used
anymore. She grew up knowing that she was plump and that being plump was
unattractive and okay for people to poke fun at; people in her family loved her
but often teased her with that name. It rankled in her mind from time to time.
In School and High school when group photos of friends were taken she was
always the one standing out due to her size and they teased her that she hogged
half the picture frame. She always managed to laugh it off but inside she
cringed. She herself did not feel very great about how she looked but to be
constantly reminded was worse. When much of your life you have been tagged as
fat and made fun of, it is often not easy to feel good about yourself.</span><span style="color: #500050; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

looked upon as pretty, stylish and confident like some of her friends but she
did not have the courage to try anything beyond her normal style. She
would often see magazines and wish to wear clothes that made her look like the
models. She then decided to follow the regular route of diet and exercises and
certainly it helped her to lose weight, but she hated the rigorous exercises.
When she saw herself in the mirror she felt that if she continued the regime
for a long, long time she may eventually be slim enough like those girls in the
posters. She sighed when she saw her mother watching her. Her mother was
waiting for her to get ready for their appointment with the doctor. Lately
Sunayna had been having some bouts of dizziness, tiredness and irritability. So
her mother had insisted on a thorough check-up.</span><span style="color: #500050; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

reached her clinic, following a nice informal long chat, she managed to put
Sunayna at ease as always. She listened to Sunayana’s pain point and about her
diet and exercise efforts and advised her to look up the Good Shepherd
Finishing School where structured curriculum existed for building fitness, diet
and positive body image through a host of co-curricular activities like sports,
music and curricular activities like fashion design, grooming and personal
branding, public speaking, event management, etc. At the School, Sunayna met a
lot of other girls her age or a bit older who seemed quite perfect to her and
yet they were here hoping to learn something on how to become ‘perfect’. It
seemed no one was happy and that everyone felt there was something wrong with
their body and improvements needed to be done.</span><span style="color: #500050; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

informative, educative and real eye-openers for most of the girls. On their
Graduation Day, each girl was asked to relate her experience at the School.
When it was Sunayna’s turn to present and summarise her learning she said ‘We
are all unique with our individuality and looks. We are born as perfect babies,
lovely happy infants. But as we grow we are compared to others, by society and
by ourselves and we forget to accept and love ourselves. Each person is
different from the other and the body types are also different. With a relevant
fitness regimen, we can all stay fit and healthy. And the way we see ourselves
is also the image we project to others. We are not assembly line production.
The trick is to carry ourselves well, love and accept ourselves. If we look up,
we will see that some of the most impressive women are those who can project
themselves well with confidence. They tune their dressing sense according to
their body type and persona. This awareness is leading to a change in the
fashion industry worldwide. The current trend of fashion for plus size women is
a healthy trend because it doesn’t prescribe a mandatory standard size for all.
It acknowledges that each one is different, with different body type,
personality and aura. Today I accept myself with joy.”</span><br />

the more important thing is to be healthy and physically fit for yourself and
to not conform to what society has decided is the perfect image for a woman.
Everyone is beautiful, perfect and unique in their own way, and loving yourself
is the key to happiness for yourself as well as for all those who love you.</span><span style="color: #500050; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Self-defense is so important to know in today's society. It's not just that you might get mugged. It's more for confidence. It's the way you hold yourself when you walk into a room. Every step you take is more sure and you're much more aware of your surroundings. So, I think it's a really important thing - especially for women”. Milla Jovovich (actress)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a busy morning for Mira, but busy as she was, her mind was also racing trying to remember a hundred and one things to be done before her daughter Shaira left for the Good Shepherd Finishing school. Shaira, who has just turned 18 has also completed her class XII board exams, wants to do her higher studies in Leather Technology from a top-ranking University in the UK and eventually join their family business of manufacturing high-end leather bags and leather garments and eventually start a label of her own. As Shaira’s board exam results and the commencement of her college term were still a few months away, Mira wanted to make the best use of these gap months and ensure that her daughter is equipped with all the right social and life-skills and hence the choice of Good Shepherd Finishing School.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mira watched her daughter sitting in a pensive mood and could only guess the conflicting emotions that must be in her mind. Shaira was a shy and introverted girl, pleasant natured, talented and intelligent but someone who took her time to socialise with ease and make new friends. She was also not very confident of herself and highly sensitive to the comments from family members and friends. Mira wondered how she would settle into a foreign University and interact with learners from all around the globe. Mira quickly reassured herself that in a few months’ time Shaira would return from Good Shepherd Finishing School with the right amount of maturity, poise and confidence that would help her settle into her University life and mingle easily with the other students there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It had been the same with Mira when she had been of Shaira’s age. She remembered her childhood, fun and pleasant though it had been, but were sprinkled with some dark memories like being mercilessly bullied by cousins, bullied by classmates in school and not being able to stand up for herself in front of these bullies. She had never been able to confront anyone and neither had she been able to defend herself. She remembered the harassment and pestering she had faced from one of the class boys in school until finally it was one of her friends who had stood up for her and warned the boy off! She had always admired that kind of courage, self-confidence, assertiveness in others and thankfully, when she had married into this family, her in-laws and her husband had encouraged her to take up courses for skill and personality development and it had helped her to evolve into the confident lady that she was today. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As her daughter was growing up, Mira saw Shaira going through the same pain and tears when someone bullied her or demeaned her in school. Mira worried more when she read the many news articles of violence against women. Mira had nurtured ambitious dreams for Shaira from the time she had been born and now she knew that learning self-defence and building a strong and assertive personality was also of utmost importance since they lived in a male dominated society where women are often considered easy targets and gender violence was rampant. She had wanted to enrol Shaira for a course on self-defence and martial arts for she wanted her daughter to feel safe and in control of her circumstances always. And self-defence has to do as much with mental strength as physical prowess. Each woman is taught to be vigilant and aware of her surroundings and the strategies she must adopt in different circumstances of danger to her body and mind. She’s taught to observe and quickly assess the situation and then guard or protect herself from needless harm. She’s taught dexterity and flexibility to ward off any attack, the need to project a strong personality and the right boundaries to all so as not to be taken for granted and above all to display a sense of confidence at all times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mira knew that a confident, self-assured, well-groomed personality with the right social skills is the outcome of a formal and well-structured curriculum where such life-skills and behavioural practices are taught experientially. Mira had wanted to know of a school for such an education and her friend had recommended Good Shepherd Finishing School. She had looked up the different topics covered under their curriculum and decided that this was exactly what Shaira needed. Today Shaira leaves for the Good Shepherd Finishing School and as much as Mira would miss her daughter, she was satisfied that she had made the right decision.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 18.4px;">With society undergoing transformational changes and opening up ever newer vistas for girls and young women, the scope and role of the traditional Finishing school has also undergone sea changes. Earlier, finishing schools were focused primarily on educating young ladies belonging to the upper crusts of society, on social graces, etiquettes and social skills to meet the image that society had created for them and to play out their defined roles. While vestiges of that still remain, now women are more in the forefront of every conceivable social and professional arena and stretching themselves beyond the defined stereotypes. Today she is juggling multiple roles from managing home and community, managing organizations to steering new initiatives as entrepreneurs and becoming role models. </span>In this increasingly interconnected world, future employers would demand candidates who are able to engage with complex issues from multiple perspectives. <span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 18.4px;">She is therefore managing herself and her time to adapt to the rapid changes of a globally connected world to carry out her multiple roles. Right from the time when the little girl takes her first step and learns to make her way into the world, she’s shaped by the coaching and experiences of her elders and peers throughout her formative years. If she gets a holistic environment and the required infrastructure where she can learn, practice and master the numerous skills which would empower her to hold her own and make a mark in any event or any occasion of life, she is then ready to take on the world and play her roles with élan.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 18.4px;">How does GSFS help in this transformation? At GSFS we attempt to transform the girl into a poised, confident, elegant, articulate and socially equipped young lady. She learns the art of self-presentation, protocol, etiquettes and social graces to help handle every interaction in every social setup with poise and confidence. She masters the skill of communication and public speaking to shine as a leader in any social or organizational setting. Her knowledge of a foreign language, ability to converse on wide ranging topics in various cultural settings become her assets in a globally connected world. She is prepared for success in her chosen career with sessions in career guidance by experienced counsellors with knowledge of current market conditions and different products and services. She is equipped with team building skills to enable her to shine in her role as a high profile Corporate Executive or a Social Trailblazer. Her confidence of managing her home and family comes from her knowledge of her own strengths and its relevance to the upliftment of her community and the world. Her knowledge of food preparation, balanced diet and nutrition would enable her to nurture a healthy family and make her equally deft at planning a party or a business lunch. She’s trained to not only nurture the home and family but also generate employment opportunities by starting her own business or joining the family business. With opportunities to learn sports like squash and golf, participate in health and fitness regimen like yoga and aerobics, learn professional grooming and beauty therapy from experts, she understands that good habits ensure a good life. </span>She’s also well informed on mother and child care, family planning, first-aid, health, hygiene and safety. <span lang="EN-IN" style="line-height: 18.4px;">Her knowledge of art, craft and music and the finer things of life makes her a very well rounded person who knows how to make the best out of her own life as well as be a role model for others to follow. From a young, naïve and inexperienced girl, she has now turned into a poised and confident lady who’s ready to rise up and face each challenge and opportunity that life offers her.</span></div>

And wonder
how a new day to start....</div>

<br />
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate, rightly said by Oprah Winfrey.<br /><br />People tend to find life complicated and confusing because of the problems that they face every day, but no one realizes that these are just life’s ways of asking us to look at the situation from a whole new angle. Every day is a new blessing and a new adventure, we just need to take it up and cherish it. Celebrate each day as you would on your birthday... Never blame life for giving you toils. Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience. <br /><br />Life is what we make it, and hence every moment that passes by is precious. Nothing can make us happy until and unless we want to be happy. People come and walk out of our lives for a reason, every person that we meet has an important role to play, it may be just for a while or even for a minute but they where there for a reason.<br /><br />Everyone goes through pain and sufferings, but the only way to come out of it is to put our past behind. We can either run away from our past or learn from it. It’s the small things that count, the sunrise, a new born baby’s chuckle, etc., that make us realise that there is still hope. <br /><br />Every time you’re low or sad, think about the positive and brighter side of life, and the journey that we still have to go to before we reach our destination.<br /><br />Hence, don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Because life is beautiful.<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The second session on
Team Skills was conducted by Mrs Neetha Nataraj, Dean, GSFS, on 12 October 2013.
It was attended by the students of the 9 months and the 3 months batches. After
a brief recap of the points discussed in the first session of the workshop, we
began with a presentation on the various types of personalities and conflicts that
characterise a group. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Following the
presentation, all the students took a scientifically proven personality test,
to find out their respective personality types. After discussing the results,
there was a group activity, which reflected group equations and dynamics. It
gave us a glimpse into the ways in which each person contributed to the
collective effort of a team. </span></div>

make-up of a team and how each individual affects the team and its functioning.

motivated the girls to achieve excellence in their lives no matter what they
pursue after leaving the portals of Good Shepherd Finishing School. Later, he
distributed the Certificates of Merit and Honour. Mrs Elsamma Thomas aptly
reminded the girls to be elegant in every way possible in all that they did.
Following this, the 9 months batch of Good Shepherd Finishing School presented
awards to the outgoing 3 months batch students, highlighting each student’s
most positive attribute, making the whole evening a special one for all.</span></div>

“Farewell, is the hope to meet shortly again and to make our absence sweet”. Goodbyes
are inevitable yet momentary. All of us said goodbyes to the 3 months batch students,
laden with best wishes for the future and a promise to meet again. </span><br />

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The Founder President Dr P. C. Thomas’s birthday was
celebrated at GSFS, on 14 October 2013. After week-long preparations, the staff
and students were all set for the first ever birthday celebration that was
going to happen on the campus. </span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The beautiful birthday cake was baked in the shape of the
GSFS campus. A greeting in the shape of a suit to represent ‘the Man’ himself,
was presented to Sir. Along with family members and his close friends, he was
welcomed to the music of “Happy Birthday”. </span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">He was overwhelmed to see the
preparations and decorations by the students and the fruits of their effort. Listening
to poems recited in Sir’s name, and songs sung, Dr P.C. Thomas was touched as
he got to take a very precious trip down the memory lane. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Halloween came early to GSFS this
year, as Team Excellence celebrated Halloween on 27 September 2013, as part of
Phase I of their Event Management. With props, attire and make-up befitting the
theme, the students looked quite scary as they came on stage to perform various
programmes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The information they collected and
displayed about several mysteries of the world was immensely fascinating. The
students also gave our spines a chill when they crept up behind us like the
true spirits of Halloween are believed to do. It would be suitable to say that
their talent was excellent enough to keep us rooted to our seats. Halloween
ended on a light note when the stage was thrown open for students to dance to
their favourite songs.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was indeed a blessing for the students
of the 3 month batch of GSFS who visited Mercy Home, a shelter for elderly
underprivileged people. Students spent the whole day with the inmates of the
home, singing, talking and acquiring some of their wisdom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It was a change for the inmates
as well, to have hosted young guests. The students enjoyed the company of their
hosts as they started singing and generally interacting with each other. The
time they spent with the elderly people was extremely precious, and was a very
touching experience for the students as they were greeted with unconditional
love. They left with tears in their eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

decorate cakes professionally with the use of flavored icing, baskets, and
other shapes made out of chocolate and icing. Also, they were taught the skill
of decorating a cake with homemade icing. Chocolate fondant was another topic
that prodded their interest. It was one delicious workshop with rich creamy
icing and a cherry on top</span></div>
