Sitting amid the blackened remains of his home, 32-year-old Nikesh Gawali carefully broke open a half-melted plastic box with a screwdriver. His hands shook slightly, not out of fear, but out of hope. “I’m trying to find my daughter Aarti’s gold earrings,” he said quietly, still focused on the box. “She’s just five. I got them made recently after months of labour work.” The plastic box, warped and blackened by heat, was one of the few things left from his two-room house on the outskirts of Dhamangaon village . All around him lay ash, broken tin sheets and charred wooden beams. The walls had cracked under the heat and the front room’s tin roof had caved in completely. What remained was a blackened debris all around - almost nothing to suggest a home once stood there. Nikesh earns his living as an agricultural labourer, like many in the village. Work is uncertain and depends on the season. Those earrings weren’t just jewellery - they were a small dream, a reward for his hard work,...
It is always a very good idea to give flowers to your girlfriend, though if you are going to go all out and bust out the roses, make sure you pick the right colour. While everyone’s interpretation varies, it is agreed that rose colours do represent different feelings and emotions, so think about how your lovely lady may respond, and try and get her that colour that will do just the trick. The following is a brief look at some of your options for rose colours and which ones different types of women may like.
Red Rose

If your girlfriend is the type who wants everything to be ultra romantic, you should get her the most blood red roses that you can find. While she will definitely appreciate receiving any type of flowers, the red roses will be just the thing to make her heart melt. And no, you can’t give a woman red roses too many times.
Pink Rose

For women who are very feminine, the perfect rose is the gorgeous and dainty pink rose, which is the ultimate in feminine flowers and the favourite of Marilyn Monroe. Have your big bunch of pink roses delivered to her workplace and she will love showing off your thoughtfully sent flowers to all of her workmates.
Black Rose
Should your girlfriend be into gothic style fashion, you had better not get her red roses, as she will likely take offence. Instead, black roses, if you can find them, will be just the way to indulge her feminine side without embarrassing her in front of her friends. Showing that you appreciate your girlfriend’s style will definitely make you look pretty good in her books.
Blue Rose
If your girlfriend is a punk, she will absolutely love a huge bunch of blue roses, as they will allow her to stand out from all her friends. After all, even if their boyfriends get them roses too, there is little chance those roses will be blue. Don’t be surprised or offended, though, if she bites the heads off the roses, as from a punk, this is more than likely a compliment.
White Rose
For the more intellectual woman, white roses represent intellectual beauty, purity and truth, and are the perfect way to mark an academic achievement or other career accomplishment that your girlfriend achieves. You will still be displaying romantic affection, but white roses give a broader scope than just suiting a romantic occasion.
While you probably won’t get in trouble for giving a colour of rose that isn’t absolutely perfect, remember that any time you give your girlfriend a gift you have an opportunity to show her how attentive you are and how much you care, so do your best not to waste your chances. There is far more to giving roses than just the traditional dozen red Valentine’s Day flowers, so get creative with your flower giving and send your special lady some roses that will take her breath away. It won’t cost you much money and will be a gesture guaranteed to have a big impact.
