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 Clothes Men 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.
Food Indian 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).
