उत्तर
Sometimes, we get attached to materialistic things that we hold close to our heart, like a gift from a loved one or something you really love with all your heart. We often find these things around us all the time. If we do not find them, or if the stop functioning, it causes us pain, because we tend to get emotionally attached to that personal item and start loving it, just like people love each other. These personal things hold a lot of sentimental value to us and we cannot even thing about not having them with us. For example, if a doll was gifted to a girl by her father, she could attached to the doll and hold sentimental value for it as it was given to her by someone who loved and cared for her. If the girl grew up and was asked to separate from the doll, it could be difficult for her to do so, as she held the sentimental value of the doll close to her heart and if she separated from the doll, she could feel like she was separating from something she loved truly with her heart.
So, people often find it to be difficult to part with personal items that have a sentimental value attached to them.

Henna comes from the leaves of the plant Lawsonia inertias. The plant grows in hot and dry climes and is native to North Africa, the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. The leaves of the plant are dried and crushed to powder. Various additives such as coffee decoction, tea, lime juice, Mehendi and eucalyptus oil are mixed with the henna powder to increase the potency of the dry, this also helps to bind the powder to a paste-like consistency. The mixture is applied through cones in intricate patterns depending on the region of use.
Album of Patterns
Four major styles can be found in the vast dictionary of Mehendi designs. Earlier the application was restricted to hand and feet, but the adoption of Mehendi by different cultures throughout the world has seen experimentation on different body parts including the neck naval and back.
North African patterns rely on geometrical images to trace the shape of hands and feet, Arabic designs borrow heavily from local textiles, paintings, and architecture. These are more spaced out, to allow the design to stand out boldly from the skin parts left untouched by henna. The Indian style comprises of delicate loops and curves, paisleys, teardrops and flowers that give a dainty filigreed glow-like effect. Though intricate patterning is the name of the game today, this trend took off in India only during the 20th century.

To get to know our elders and let them guide our course.”
