today I have got the re-
sponsibility of a consti-

TOP TWEETS
DISCOURAGING
THE PRACTICE OF
SEALED COVER
JURISPRUDENCE
hile hearing a peti-
tion in the Gautam
Adani-Hindenburg
case, the Supreme
Court declined to ac-
cept Centre’s suggestion for
those who could form part of a
panel to suggest changes to SEBI
for protecting investors. In a
laudable decision the court also
did not accept names put forth
by the petitioners in the case. A
bench headed by the Chief Jus-
tice of India DY Chandrachud
said that the court wanted to
maintain full transparency and
said it will itself choose persons
for the panel. In November 2022
also Justice Chandrachud re-
fused to accept a suggestion in a
sealed envelope. In March last
year even Justice NV Ramana,
the former CJI, had declined to
accept any suggestion from the
government in an envelope.
Encouraged by some CJI’s, the
government resorts to the prac-
ticewhenitwantssomeinforma-

done in Malayalam news chan-
nel Media One’s case. Former
CJI Ranjan Gogoi accepted an

W
y allotting the
Shiv Sena name
and ‘bow and ar-
row’ symbol to the
Eknath Shinde
faction on the basis of its ma-
jority as proved in the legisla-
ture the Election Commis-
sion may not have done any
wrong technically but the
decision appears to have
queered the pitch for Uddhav
Thackeray and his team.
Thackeray described the poll
panel’s decision as “danger-
ous for democracy” and said
he will take the battle to the
Supreme Court which is al-
ready hearing a petition
against its 2016 judgment in
the Nabam Rebia case arising
out of a decision by the Ma-
harashtra Assembly Speaker.
The Nationalist Congress
Party(NCP)presidentSharad
Pawar advised Thackeray to
accept the new name and
symbol which EC will now al-
lot. The advice makes sense.
For Thackeray, accepting
“Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena”
(BSS) and “two swords and
shield” as the party’s new
name and symbol may not be
difficult but he will be at a
clear disadvantage when vot-
ers press the button on the
EVM. It may not be as disap-
pointing as it appears be-
cause Balasaheb as prefix
will be a clear differentiator.
Supporters of the original
Shiv Sena should have no
problem in identifying his
party because of Balasaheb
(Thackeray’s) name. All that
Thackeray needs to do is to
undertake a massive cam-
paign to familiarise voters
with the change.
In Maharashtra the legacy
of late Balasaheb Thackeray
is probably still intact and
that should be taken advan-
tage of by the Uddhav camp.
Uddhav should rather focus
on the Rebia case which
Eknath Shinde camp wants
to be heard by a seven-judge.
FOR UDDHAV
ALL IS NOT LOST
By allotting the Shiv Sena
name and ‘bow and arrow’
symbol to the Eknath Shinde
faction on the basis of its
majority as proved in the
legislature the Election
Commission may not have
done any wrong technically but
the decision appears to have
queered the pitch for Uddhav

LETTERS EXCHANGED
BETWEEN NEHRU PATEL...
New Delhi
3 February 1948
My dear Vallabhbhai,
When Bapu was alive we had hoped to meet him together and discuss various
matters that had troubled us somewhat. You will remember our correspondence.
In my last letter I had expressed the hope that, inspite of certain differences of
opinion and temperament, we should continue to pull together as we had done for
so long. This was, I was glad to find, Bapu’s final opinion also.
Now, with Bapu’s death everything is changed and we have to face a differ-
ent and more difficult world. The old controversies have ceased to have much
significance and it seems to me that the urgent need of the hour is for all of us to
function as closely and co-operatively as possible. Indeed, there is no other way.
I have been greatly distressed by the persistence of whispers and rumours
about you and me, magnifying out of all proportions any differences we may have.
This has spread to foreign ambassadors and foreign correspondents; mischief-
makers take advantage of this and add to it. Even the Services are affected and
this is bad. We must put an end to this mischief.
It is over a quarter of a century since we have been closely associated with
one another and we have faced many storms and perils together. I can say with
full honesty that during this period my affection and regard for you have grown,
and I do not think my affection can happen to lessen this. Even our differences
have brought out the far greater points of agreement between us and the respect
we bear to each other. We have even learnt to agree to differ and yet carry on
together.
Anyway, in the crisis that we have to [face] now after Bapu’s death I think it
is my duty and, if I may venture to say, yours also for us to face it together as
friends and colleagues. Not merely superficially, but in full loyalty to one another
and with confidence in each other. I can assure you that you will have that from
me. If I have any doubt or difficulty I shall put it frankly to you, and I hope you will
do the same to me.
I had hoped to have a long talk with you, but we are so terribly pressed for time
that we can hardly see each other in private for long. Some time or other, soon
I hope, we shall have this talk and remove any misunderstandings or misappre-
hensions that may have arisen. Such talks are necessary from time to time. But
meanwhile I do not want to wait for this talk and hence this letter, which carries
with it my affection and friendship for you.
Yours affectionately
Jawaharlal
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
New Delhi
5 February 1948
My dear Jawaharlal,
I am deeply touched, indeed overwhelmed, by the affection and warmth of your
letter of 3 February. I fully and heartily reciprocate the sentiments you have so
feelingly expressed.
We both have been lifelong comrades in a common cause. The paramount
interests of our country and our mutual love and regard, transcending such dif-
ferences of outlook and temperament as existed, have held us together. Both of
us have stuck passionately to our respective points of view or methods of work;
still we have always sustained a unity of heart which has stood many a stress and
strains and which had enabled us to function jointly both in the Congress and in
the Government.
Recent events had made me very unhappy and I had written to Bapu when I
was going to Bombay appealing to him to relieve me, but his death changes eve-
rything and the crisis that has overtaken us must awaken in us a fresh realisation
of how much we have achieved together and the need for further joint efforts in
our grief-stricken country’s interest.
I had the good fortune to have a last talk with him for over an hour just before
his death and he communicated to me what had passed between you and him as
well as his talk with HE [Lord Mountbatten]. He had also fixed an appointment to
meet both of us the next day. His opinion also binds us both and I can assure you
that I am fully resolved to approach my responsibilities and obligations in this
spirit.
I agree with you that we must find more time for mutual consultations so that
we can keep each other informed of, and in touch with, what is happening and we
can thus resolve any points of difference that might arise.
We should also find an early opportunity to have a long talk and clear our
minds of any doubts and difficulties that may be there. Continued harping on
our differences in public or in private is bad for us, bad for the Services and Bad
for the country. The sooner we set this at rest once for all and clear the murky
atmosphere the better.
Yours
Vallabhbhai

Washington (PTI):
The relationship be-
tween India and the US
is the “defining part-
nership” for the 21st
century, America’s for-
mer Ambassador to
the country Richard
Verma has told law-
makers and urged the
Senate to confirm the
next envoy to New Del-
hi at the earliest.
A strong advocate of
deepening Indo-US ties,
Verma played a key role
in the Congressional
passage of the civil nu-
clear deal. He was
sworn in as the US Am-
bassador to India in
2014, becoming the first
ever Indian-American
to hold the post. He
served as the US Am-
bassador to India from
2014 to 2017.
“I continue to believe
this is the defining
partnership for this
century. The relation-
ship is so consequen-
tial in so many ways,
and having a senior of-
ficial on the ground
that represents the
president makes a big
difference,” Verma told
members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Com-
mittee during his con-
firmation hearing for
Deputy Secretary of
State for Management
and Resources.

STRENGTHENING TIES
Sydney (PTI): Exter-
nal Affairs Minister S
Jaishankar, who is in
Australia, on Saturday
emphasised the need
for vigilance against
“radical activities” tar-
geting the Indian com-
munity in Australia
in the wake of vandal-
ism of Hindu temples
in the country by Khal-
istani supporters.
The External Affairs
Minister’s remarks
came during his meet-
ing with his Australian
counterpart Penny
Wong during which
they exchanged views
on a number of issues.
“Noted the forward
movement on our bilat-
eral agenda. Empha-
sized the need for vigi-
lance against radical
activities targeting the
Indian community,”
Jaishankar tweeted af-
ter the meeting.
The External Affairs
Minister’s comments
came in reference to the
recent vandalisation
of three Hindu temples
in the country
.
On January 23, the
management of the In-
ternational Society for
Krishna Consciousness
(ISKCON) temple also
known as the Hare
Krishna Temple in Mel-
bourne’s Albert Park
found the walls of the
revered temple vandal-
ised with graffiti “Hin-
dustan Murdabad”.
On January 16, the
historic Shri Shiva
Vishnu Temple in Car-
rum Downs, Victoria,
was vandalised in a
similar manner.
On January 12, the
Swaminarayan temple
in Melbourne was
defaced by ‘anti-social
elements’ with anti-In-
dia graffiti.
A prominent Hindu
temple in Australia this
week received threaten-
ing calls in which it was
asked to raise pro-Khal-
istani slogans if it
wanted to observe
Maha Shivratri peace-
fully which falls on Feb-
ruary 18.
India has already
asked the Australian
government to curb the
anti-India activities of
the Khalistani separa-
tists and also attacks on
the Hindu temples in
the country
.

gestion, you know what
will happen.” Bihar CM
Kumar further said he
is waiting for the Con-
gress party to take a
decision on whether to
contest the 2024 elec-
tion together.
On behalf of the
Congress party, the
event was attended by
Congress leader Sal-
man Khurshid.
Speaking at the event
Congress leader Sal-
man Khurshid said, “I
came to represent on
behalf of Congress.
Earlier there was talk

model and I will speak
about it at every place
in the country
.”

the accused Sahil Gahl-
ot and the deceased girl
were married and not
just live-in partners.
Officials of the Crime

gating Sahil, accused of
strangulating Nikki, 25
with a phone’s data ca-
ble and stuffing her
body in the refrigerator
of his family-owned
dhaba in Mitraon vil-
lage in South West Del-
hi, revealed that the duo
had solemnised their
marriage in an Arya Sa-
maj Temple three years
ago. “During police in-
terrogation, Sahil dis-
closed that Nikki had
been asking him not to
marry another girl be-
cause both had already

Lucknow (ANI): The
Enforcement Directo-
rate (ED) has conducted
raids across 22 loca-
tions in six districts of
Uttar Pradesh in con-
nection with “fraudu-
lent” availment of post-
matriculation scholar-
ships by various educa-
tional institutes across
the state.
Several institutes/
colleges “unlawfully”
availed scholarships in
the names of several in-
eligible candidates and
“misappropriated” the
same for their use, an
ED statement said.
The scholarship is
provided by the central
and state governments
to facilitate the educa-
tion of SC, ST, PH (phys-
ically handicapped or
differently-abled) can-
didates, and students
from minority commu-
nities and economically
weaker sections. There-
fore, the scholarship
scam has a huge social
impact on the weaker

CONGRESS AND BJP IN RAJASTHAN
Alwar: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Satur-
day alleged that “delay” by the Rajasthan government
in acting on the missing complaint lodged by the
family of 2 men in the Bharatpur case allowed the
accused to flee the state. Owaisi alleged that such
incidents occur because “BJP supports and shelters
such organisations due to which police do not take
immediate action against them”. Owaisi on Saturday
met the family members of the 2 Muslim men who
were burnt alive in Haryana. He assured the family
members of every possible help.
Bharatpur (ANI):
Relative of Junaid,
one of the two men
who were allegedly ab-
ducted and charred to
death in Haryana, on
Saturday reacted to
the Rajasthan Police’s
“cow smuggler”
claims.
Earlier, IG, Bharat-
pur Range has said
that Junaid has five
cases pertaining to
cow smuggling
against him, to which
Junaid’s cousin Is-
mail said, “If he [Ju-
mail] was a cow smug-
gler then why police
didn’t arrest him?”
“When there were
cases on Junaid, then
why was he not caught
earlier? Now when he
is dead, they are say-
ing that there was a
case [of cow smug-
gling]. He was residing
here but the police
never came,” Junaid’s
cousin said.
“These people are
only hooligans, who
do such work. They
have just worn the
cloak of cow vigilan-
tes, but they do hooli-
ganism because this is
their only business,”
he added. Earlier on
Thursday, two skele-
tons were found inside
a charred SUV in the
Loharu area of the
Bhiwani district.
Rajasthan Police
have made one arrest
in the case.

from Rajasthan, he has
been brought to Kolka-
ta on transit remand,

the resignation. There is
also the issue of holding
twoposts.Furtheraction
will be taken in this mat-
ter.” The matter was
there even before his ap-
pointment, Randhawa
added. “In such a situa-
tion, whatever instruc-
tions the high command
gives me, I will take the
same action. I will not
send any report in this
matter, but if the high
commandasksmetotake
any action, I will do so
with immediate effect. I
have done what the high
command asked me to
do,” Randhawa said.
Interestingly
, the state
in-charge accepted that
thereisestrangementbe-
tween the leaders and he
is trying to end it. “There
is no resentment in Pilot,
this is just media talk,”
he said.
Meanwhile, Minister
Mahesh Joshi said that

nation was accepted by
the High Command and
the Chief Minister.
“Randhawaconsideredit

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
BJP leader Mukhtar
Abbas Naqvi may
have lost his Rajya Sabha
membership, may have
lost his ministerial post,
but his spirits continue
to soar. When there is an
uproar over Ramcharit
Manas across the coun-
try, especially in states
like UP-Bihar, Naqvi has
decided to organise a
grand staging of ‘Jai
Shri Ram Ramayana’ in
Muslim-dominated areas,
especially in Rampur’s
Rathonda Kisan Mela.
On March 3, this grand
three-hour performance
based on Ramcharit
Manas will take place.
Many famous faces
from Ramanand Sagar’s
famous TV serial will be a
part of this staging, which
include actors like Puneet
Issar and Bindu Dara
Singh. In this Ramayana
staging, modern technol-
ogy and various contexts
of Shri Ramcharit Manas
are being powerfully
woven into one thread.
It should be noted that
in the same fair last
year, Naqvi staged the
Mahabharata as well. The
historic Shiva temple is
also situated here where
lakhs of people gather
for Jalabhishek on the
occasion of Mahashiv-
aratri. In fact, Naqvi also
performed Jalabhishek by
going to the Shiva temple
during the inauguration of
this fair on Thursday.
Ever since the country’s new President,
Droupadi Murmu stepped into the
Rashtrapati Bhavan, the atmosphere
there has changed. For the officers and
staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan, it is like a
cool breeze, as unlike her predecessors,
President Murmu has broken many
declared myths as soon as she came.
The staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan does
not remember if ever any President has
sent Diwali sweets for them and their
children at his or her own expense.
Sources reveal that ‘the President’s
expenditure on sweet boxes
and gifts alone was about Rs
two to two and a half lakh,
which she himself bore.’ The
staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan
has become convinced of her
simplicity, decency, and ease
of living. She also wakes up at
three in the morning, then
does an hour-long yoga
and meditation rou-
tine, then leaves for
her morning walk
at four, which lasts about a quarter of an
hour. Now only vegetarian food is cooked
in the kitchen of Rashtrapati Bhavan
without onion and garlic. The practice
of non-vegetarian food has stopped.
The kitchen of Rashtrapati Bhavan has
also been asked to be closed by 10 pm.
Earlier, the employees who went home
after finishing duty late at night did not
even get any travelling allowance, now
they have started getting it. The President
is well aware of the fact that the face of
the new India is mostly formed by
meeting the youth of the country,
so to connect with the youth and
understand their expectations
properly, she is also using the
social media platform ‘Facebook’
a lot. She takes time, and makes
short notes for her speeches,
which are included in her main
speech. If the top
changes, surely its
fragrance will
be felt across
the country.
Ever since SP supremo
Mayawati announced
that ‘she will not forge
an electoral alliance with
any party in UP in the
2024 general elections’,
Chandrasekhar Rao has
new stress on his face.
Telangana Chief Minister
Rao wants to emerge as
the new Leader of the
Opposition unit. How-
ever, he has not given up
on his dream. Recently,
he held a long talk with
Mayawati over the phone
and invited her to be the
chief guest at a grand
‘Holi Milan function’ held
in Hyderabad. Rao plans
to meet Mayawati there
and a scholarship will be
distributed to 1,000 Dalit
girls and on the same
pretext, Mayawati will
be persuaded to make a
coalition with Akhilesh.
The BJP has already com-
pletely entered the ‘Elec-
tion Mode’ for the Lok Sabha
elections. If sources are to be
believed, many
Congress
stalwarts are
stepping at the
doors of BJP
to become
‘saffronised’.
The party has identified such
leaders and prepared a list of
them. The matter is stuck on
just timing. Amit Shah is un-
derstood to have asked these
leaders to wait till September,
while Modi wants nothing to
happen before December.
With the success of the ‘UP Investor Summit’, UP
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has received a
new message from Delhi asking him to ‘ensure the
dates of civic elections in the state as soon as pos-
sible.’ It has been said that ‘his long-pending cabinet
reshuffle may remain stuck
until the civic elections in the
state are over.’ Yogi has been
engaged in a major reshuf-
fle exercise in his Cabinet
for some time now, where
many of his old ministers
have to leave and many new
faces have to get a place in
the Cabinet. In fact, the UP local body elections are
stuck in a dilemma that the reservation formula has
not been finalised yet. This reservation formula is
to be decided for mayors of 17 Municipal Corpora-
tions, Presidents of 200 Municipal Corporations, and
Chairman of 546 city panchayats. It should be noted
that the deadline for municipal elections has ended
on January 5. At present, Yogi has sent a tip to Delhi
that ‘election procedures are being finalised’. It seems
Yogi is also waiting for the right time for himself.
The shadow of uncertainty is hovering over the
Raipur session of Congress. Earlier this 85th
session of Congress was called in Raipur for three
days i.e. from February 24-26. Now it is believed that
instead of 24, the session will start on 25 and end
on 26. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on this conference
because after 26 years the elections of the Congress
Working Committee were to be held. But now, it is
believed that this CWC election will be postponed and
Party President Mallikarjun
Kharge will be authorised to
elect a representative for the
working committee by show
of hands, which he will de-
cide after returning to Delhi.
Of the 23 members of the
Congress Working Commit-
tee, 12 were to be elected by
the AICC delegates, and 11 were to be nominated by
the President. But it seems that there will be no elec-
tion now because there are indications of irregularities
in the AICC list as well. Differences have been found
in the list of about 1300 AICC representatives from 29
states and UTs the list provided by the PCC, raising
questions about the role of Madhusudan Mistry VP
Singh of the election committee, who have included
the names of their favorite people in the list. More or
less similar errors were seen in list of delegates dur-
ing election of the party President as well.
WHEN WILL THE CIVIC ELECTIONS IN
UTTAR PRADESH BE HELD?
CONGRESS’s 85TH SESSION IN
RAIPUR WILL END PREMATURELY

REMARK, RANDHAWA
TAKES A U-TURN!
Jaipur: State Congress
in-charge Sukhjinder Singh
Randhawa’s changed tone has
become a topic of discussion in
the political circles of the state
as two different statements
were made by Randhawa,
in one day. On the issue of
resignation of Mahesh Joshi
from the post of Chief Whip,
Randhawa gave statement in
the evening and said, “Joshi’s
resignation is only on the basis
of the principle of ‘one person
one post.’ We will not take
out Tughlaqi farman. We will
coordinate with everyone and
the decision will be taken with
everyone’s consent. The high
command will decide on the
September 25 incident.” In-
terestingly, on the same issue,
Randhawa in the morning had
said that Joshi’s resignation
was ‘part of action for the Sep-
tember 25 incident and there is
also a policy of one person one
post. Action on other leaders
will be taken after instructions
from the high command.”
Notably, the change in Rand-
hawa’s statements came to the
fore after his meeting with Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot!

Sirohi: Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot, ad-
dressing the Marwar
Meena Samaj Ma-
hasammelan organ-
ised at village Chotila,
Shivganj, Sirohi, on
Saturday, said that the
tribals have an invalu-
able contribution in
preserving the ancient
culture, civilization
and tradition of the
country. It has had an
equal share in the de-
velopment of the state.
He said that the State
government has also
left no stone unturned
in the development of
tribal dominated dis-
tricts like Banswara,
Dungarpur, Udaipur
and Pratapgarh.
Gehlot said that the
amount of Tribal De-
velopment Fund has
been increased from
Rs 100 crore to Rs 500
crore. He said that
Marwar Tribal Devel-
opment Board has
been constituted for
all round development
of ST category in
Jodhpur division. He
appealed to the public
to give maximum pub-
licity to the schemes
and take benefits to
the last person.
URGE FOR SPECIAL
PACKAGE TO
RAJASTHAN
WE TOOK CARE OF
MASSES’ CONCERNS
IN STATE BUDGET,
SAYS GEHLOT
Dr Subash Garg said that
CM Ashok Gehlot has al-
ready raised this issue before
the Centre by writing a letter
to Centre. He said that keeping
in view the financial condi-
tion of states, the GST refund
period should be extended till
2027 or State Govt should be
given a special package on the
lines of Karnataka. The Minis-
ter also demanded payment of
the outstanding amount of Rs
3,012 crore till June 2022.
Jodhpur: CM Ashok Gehlot
was extended a warm
welcome at Jodhpur airport.
Praising the State budget,
the Chief Minister said that
people are welcoming it only
because they liked the budget
so much. He also said that in
the upcoming elections, now
every party will decide its
manifesto on the basis of the
budget. Meanwhile, Gehlot
duly inaugurated the 25th
National Public Entertainment
Fair in the open courtyard
of Ashoka Garden wherein
CM’s wife Sunita Gehlot also
participated.
Addressing the event, CM
Gehlot said, “When Man Singh
Deora was UIT chairman, then
the idea of an open theatre
was conceived. It should not
be named after Ashok Udyan.
When I became the CM for
the first time, a fund was ear-
marked for welfare of artists
journos. Now when the pen
came in hand, a budget of Rs
100 crore was given.” Gehlot
also remembered Komal Ko-
thari’s contribution and said,
“The Sangeet Natak Akademi
has also progressed after a
long struggle. 3.5,000 hours
of recording is a big record
in itself.” He compared his
budget with issues of Rahul
Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra
and said “Inflation is high,
people are worried, but we
took care of their problems.”

Jaipur: MLA and Pun-
jab Congress in-charge
Harish Chaudhary met
CM Ashok Gehlot at
CMR on Saturday. State
Congress in-charge
Sukhjinder S Randha-
wa was also present.
As a result of the devel-
opment, different po-
litical meanings are
being extracted from
the meeting.
Notably, Harish
Chaudhary was vocal
for some time now, but
Saturday’s meeting oc-
curred in a pleasant at-
mosphere. State Con-
gress President GS Do-
tasra and Sanyam Lod-
ha were also present
during the meeting.
However, it is being
said that the issues con-
cerning the organisa-
tion were discussed in
the meeting. In particu-
lar, there has been dis-
cussion about whether
to form a district or-
ganisation or to give
other responsibilities,
through appointments.

JAIPUR, SUNDAY,
FEBRUARY 19, 2023
One high-shine item, toned down with
other essentials or more muted items, is
possibly the simplest way to add a touch
of silver to your ensembles in 2023. City
First highlights the trending silver fashion
that’ll help you shine out of crowd!
tyles come and go, but
the glow of Silver can
not leave the fashion
world. Silver is a run-
way trend for the
summer and these
looks are clearly reso-
nating with fashion followers.
There are some rhythms and
colour patterns that repeat
year after year for example,
one unofficial rule is that me-
tallics and silvers are saved for
the holiday season, but don’t
receive much airtime until
New Year’s Day. In 2023, that
notion is being flipped on its
head, as silver was a motif
that dominated the spring col-
lections of Gucci, Versace, and
Chanel. This is perhaps the
season’s most noticeable col-
our trend and it feels refresh-
ing following, seasons of rain-
bow brights and saturated
colours. Silver is also a univer-
sal shade that chan-
nels futuristic
intricacy
.
The extravagant party
dresses are on the horizon
for 2023, with silver taking
its usual disco-ball form with
bold sequins and lames. Gu-
cci’s knotted-sleeved midi
dress with white boots was
very eye-catching. There are,
however, lots of less apparent
ways to wear metallics, such
as foil pants or tiny skirts that
look great with plain T-shirts
or knits in white, black, or
navy, and boots or even sneak-
ers. The silver craze is also
having an influence on the
world of accessories. Several
of the famous designs we
know and love, such as Le
MondeBeryl’sMaryJanes
and Gucci’s classic Jackie
bag, appear to have been
dipped in aluminium.
This is also trickling
down to the tiniest de-
tails on an outfit, as af-
ter years of gold hoop
earrings and chain
necklaces dominating,
silver is regaining
appeal in daily
jewellery
. Silver
shoes are an-
other great
option in
shiny hue.
