Indian Bangles

Bangles are ornaments worn mainly by women on their arms and wrists. They are usually circular in shape but unlike bracelets, are not flexible. In India, the custom of wearing bangles by women is centuries old and the tradition is still going strong. Modern age women love to spruce up their outfit with flashy and ornate bangles.

Depending upon her community, her marital status and occasion a woman could wear a single piece of ornament, or cover the entire upper arm, from the elbow to the shoulder, with armlets made up of a variety of materials including gold, silver, ivory or shellac.

As with other jewelry , bangles are worn by women of all ages all over India and are made of silver, gold, wood, glass, and plastic, among other materials. But married Hindu women always wear gold bangles teamed with glass bangles in her wrist. Folklore says that gold bangles herald prosperity and well-being for husbands.

COMPLETE VIEW OF THIS SWEETHEART!

TATA NANO "The world's cheapest car"
The Tata Nano is a rear-engined, four-passenger city car built by Tata Motors, aimed primarily at the Indian market. The car is very fuel efficient, achieving around 26.00km/l on the highway and around 22.00km/l in the city.[4] It was first presented at the 9th annual Auto Expo on January 10, 2008, at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India.[5] Nano had a commercial launch on March 23, 2009 and a booking period from April 9 to April 25, generating more than 200,000 bookings for the car.[6][7] The sales of the car will begin in July 2009,[8] with a starting price of Rs 115,000 (rupees), which is approximately equal to UK£1,467 or US$2,421 as of June 2009. This is cheaper than the Maruti 800, its main competitor and next cheapest Indian car priced at 184,641 Rupees.[9][10][11] Tata had sought to produce the least expensive production car in the world[12] — aiming for a starting price of Rs.100,000 (approximately US$2,000 in June 2009).
The Tata Nano is comes with an all-new 25 HP 2-cylinder aluminium MPFI 624 cc gasoline engine mated to a four-speed gear box and is available in three trim levels. The car offers a spacious passenger compartment which can comfortably seat four adults. With a length of just 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres, the Tata Nano has the smallest exterior footprint for a car in India but is 21% more spacious than the smallest car available today. A high seating position makes ingress and egress easy. Its small size coupled with a turning radius of just 4 metres, makes it extremely manoeuvrable in the smallest of parking slots.
To me it's a cute little sweetheart car. All'll like this.
