Its been almost a year since I blogged. Thanks to eclipsed thoughts for getting me back into this routine.
This is like a sequel to my earlier article "Fashion hits a new low". Had written about this to my "apartment egroup" after observing a certain fashion statement. Some of you might even be able to relate to this....Am pasting the mail I had sent to my egroup
The webster defines "towel" as some thing used for drying one's body after bathing and showering. The definition fails to extend its purpose as an "acceptable" attire in a society of men, women and children. I guess by now, most of you might have guessed where I am heading to, for those that dont.....this is about men walking around apartment campus in their towels. I personally find it very amusing to see men walk all around the campus and also in the elevators in their towels. Now with dogs also "allowed" in the elevator, not sure if it is so safe a thing to do. I am really not writing this to initiate another fight or debate; in fact some of the "towel wearers" are my good friends; but I am jus not sure if it is an acceptable thing to do. End of it, it is your call, am fine as long as you do not pull off a "Ranbir Kapoor" as in Sawariyaa. Those that have gotten offended by my selfish insensitive remark on men walking around in their bathing towels can send their abuse mails to my personal id. However I can assure you that I wont relatiate, nor will I start clicking pictures and posting it in the egroup. Swadesh is your birth, and so is walking around in towels. This was jus a thought...

hmm... made me wonder,,, when i was a kid i lived in a hot place and i remember my cousin moving in towel to go to a nearby shop to buy stuffs...
and i always used to wonder, if he wears his towel, what does he use to dry his boday after bathing? trousers?
and i remember once he came to the playground in towel to call me home... i felt like digging a hole and disappearing... not that he was a hairy gorilla, infact pretty clean and fair, just that he looked so dirty with that towel and sweat. (i knew that he hadnt got that towel to laundry for months)... eeeks...
after that, i dont remember seeing men moving around in towel much... i guess this tradition depends on the climate and of course i am a female so males would not parade infront of me in towel!
am good with "towel" fashion... if its Ranbir doing it... the guy can really carry it off! ;)
on a serious note: topless men on streets... oh not so in!
p.s: of course, i remember you! and i did take my break too! :)
