The Younger & The Youngest Sharif.

A man in power is often represented and interpreted by the attire he chooses, the accessories he wears and the gait he displays while on the move. No, it does not advocate vanity. It is intelligence that tells you what to wear in a battlefield and what to wear for a formal dinner.

Of all the people in power I came across in my life, I cannot unlearn or un-see a few personalities. Their choice of colours and their pattern of doing things are always unforgettable. However, I shall start from two of them; the Man in Checked Waistcoat and the Man in Long Boots.
