Mendie (Henna)

Mendie is like a temporary tattoo that comes from a crushed plant. If you buy it at stores in liquid form it will most likely come in a cone.

Ladies Clothes Most ladies that live in

India are usually seen in “suits”. Suits are basically just long shirts with pants that go under them, but they don't exactly look like they are t-shirts and pants, they look more like dresses. Most suits are tailored, tailored means that you give someone your body measurements, type of fabric and design you want, then have them sew them.

Men's ClothesMen usually either

wear regular shirts and pants or “Korta Pajamas”.Korta pajamas are like suits but with less design and are made for guys. On special occasions, men are also seen wearing suits like they do in America.

FoodIndian food has got to

be the best type of food in the world because there is something for everyone. For example, if you don't like a certain dish you can try a different one because no one dish is prepared the same way, some have paneer (cheese), while others have cholay (chickpeas).
