Pink shirts and me

"Wearing pink brings the king luck. I don't want him to be sick" Rose Tarin, civil servant. BBC

It happened in Thailand. In 2007, King wore pink jacket (coat: in American English) as royal astrologers recommended it is good for his health. As a result, there had been a sharp rise of pink shirt sale those days in Thailand. I came across this old news while googling something on the Internet.

I did not know if there is any royal connection of pink colour in Britain. What I know is Royal purple.


When I was young, I used to adore green. But since I arrived in the UK, that has been the only colour what I don't like. I sent any clothes with green to charity or binned. I believe I don't like any particular colour. But when I checked my wardrobe today, I found out these pink shirts among others. To be honest, I was not aware what is going on in my so-called collection. I just learnt myself this evening. For some reason, each pink shirt has their lovely story. :)

Go organic?

Over a decade ago, going holiday to an exotic place like Barbado was a sought-after status symbol. But, nowadays, our life style has changed a bit. Going holiday is a part of our normal yearly plan. At work, there are many occasions when patients requested to rearrange their follow-up appointment as their holiday was on that date. Of course, we have been practising patient-cantered approach.

In Britain, buying organic foods is for a group of people's preference. They may have their own reason why they go organic. In fact, I have been a partial organic member. My fridge has normally got organic semi skinned milk, organic eggs and chicken with the reason that they are tastier than regular ones. I must say I thought until this evening that organic stuffs mean only for foods. But after shopping at nearby town centre, I learnt that clothes are also available as "organic"



This casual shirt is what I purchased from Debenham's designer's section today. It is Rocha- John Rocha. It is claimed 100% organic cotton shirt. After organic foods, now organic shirt! What would be next? organic computer or organic auto mobile? I bought it as it looked nice , not because of being organic. I must say I have to learn more about the meaning of organic and its benefits.
