...genitalia and even squirt out cream,brides-to-be in the big cities want their last fling with singledom. The naughty cake market in Mumbai has grown.Five years ago,one sole cakesmith monopolised the scene.Now there are at least nine more in the bakery.Ruchi Chopra,owner of Any Surprise Any Place,says that most of her cakes sport some kind of exaggerated body part and she also serves up interestingly shaped food.For instance,the innocent spring roll gets a whole new meaning. A Matunga-based cake maker says parts of the cake are assembled after her domestic help has left for the day.Although they want kinky confections,some clients find it hard to spell it out.They just ask for those cakes, she says. But those cakes arent the only attraction at bridal showers that have become more than just underground booze-fuelled fiestas of giggles strippers,dirty games and weird gifts are all part of the party,as essential as the mehendi or sangeet.Morality is thrown away with empty vodka bottles,skeletons tumble out of closets and untamed hoots fill the room. The location could be an empty flat,a farmhouse on the city s outskirts or a five-star suite to accommodate the stripper.Theres...

Describe Ranjit´s problems as seen by a) Ranjit herself, b)Ranjit´s family, c) the social worker. Ranjit´s problem is that she is too young to decide her own future.

The social worker has a moral problem. She does not know if she should follow her personal believes or the rules within the law. 3. Explain the cultural, racial, political, and religious conflicts that are involved in Ranjit´s case. The social worker puts her inner believes and moral aside because she finds it hard to relate to their differences both racial and religious, and that makes it hard to help Ranjit.

Usually children of Ranjit´s age does not have to worry about which religious background their friends have in order to play with them.

...Introduction The objective of this study is to determine the need and potential success of starting a new and unique bridal store in Romeoville, Illinois that will serve most of the western suburbs in the state, particularly Will County, DuPage County, Lake County, some of Cook County and virtual customers with online access. I intend to establish a business that will provide most bridal services and products for weddings.

Next, there are an infinite number of buyers and seller involved...
