The drama club in my high school had organised a play. I was a part of the drama and had bagged a role in the play. We had spent over a month rehearsing one of Shakespeare’s famous plays, The Merchant of Venice. Everything was organised by the members of the drama and the teachers, along with a few volunteers.

I had been working as a middle school teacher for three years now. Every year, the students here observed Teacher’s Day to show their appreciation for the entire staff. Gifts, flowers, chocolates, and presentations were a common occurrence on this day. This year was no different. The school was decorated in rainbow streamers and balloons with banners reading, “Happy Teacher’s Day.”

The Italian fashion house Prada was founded way back in 1913 by brothers Mario Prada and Martino Prada. What...

My best friend’s return from Florence gave her a great reason to come over and tell me all about her trip to the famous Italian city. She kept lamenting about was how she lost one of her luggage on her return to the States. Funnily enough, she was more sorrowful over the loss of her newly acquired perfume, Bloom by Gucci, than the loss of her clothes. We decided to go to the local Gucci store to buy the fragrance. I made a mental note to buy one for myself if it is good enough. About Brand The Italian fashion house, Gucci, was founded by the Italian fashion designer and businessman Guccio...
