Yesterday when I went to one of those posh flats for a house call, I saw that there was a saree exhibition going on. Went in to have a peek and was impressed by the collections that they had. It was from a village women's self help group and one particular saree cotton/silk mix with thread works (not zari) of Krishna and figures of chariots caught my attention and decided to buy one for my wife. Now one has to understand that women like pleasant surprises and more so pregnant women. Cost: 840 bucks. Dirt cheap when compared to the smile on the missus' face!
Ok, as far as dressing goes....my wife and I are at opposite poles. She is always orthodox and traditional in her attire. Never worn a pair of jeans, Tees, etc etc....only sarees and churidhars. Me, I am the other extreme! When I step into my fav clothes shop I ask: "What is the most whackiest thing you have! It should be something different...very different" The friendly salesman who is almost my friend by now either says: "Yea, I have something to show you" or he goes: "There is nothing in here that you'd like. Maybe 20 days later?"
Last evening I went to that shop again and the first thing that caught my eye was a shirt from Pepe with stones embedded on metal and riveted to the shirt! Very different right? How often have you seen a 35yr old wear such 'feminine' stuff?
And then I ended up buying a pair of Levi's jeans and another yellow coloured Pepe shirt. I mean, I dont know why I buy these insanely different kinda clothes! Is age catching up with me too fast and I want to beat the shit? Mid life crisis? Or do I want to just sound cool and hip? Or is it being just in sync with the fashion of the times? GOK! But I love being 'atrociously' dressed!
Just a while ago I bought a pair of button-fly jeans with patch work! My Mom couldnt digest it. Wifey doesn’t mind though...but says this once in a while: “When you and I go out most peeps are left wondering what on Earth is a Prashanth doing with Anjali Devi!” (Prashanth is a contemporary Tam actor while Anjali Devi is an actress of yore!) Well when wifey says that I am look alike of an actor....you can imagine what it does to me! Maybe she says that to make me feel good, but then its also fishing for compliments right? So I have to go: "No, sweetheart, its not about what we wear, its about how elegant we look and how we carry ourselves with grace!" And then she is like: "Now, do I look good in this or not? Don’t gimme some roundabout shit!" And then I go: "Of course you look good in this honey! Otherwise why would I go out with you?" And she goes: "Hmmmm". What? That’s all? Just Hmmm?
So if you were wondering what I do after wearing such type clothes...well, I go to the petty shop near my house and buy meself a pack of Gold Flake King size cigarettes and then head over to a small parapet wall near the Nair tea-shop and park my arse comfortably and look at the chicks go by. Ogle, ogle and more ogling. I watch the dames go by freshly bathed, neatly clothed, powdered, lipsticked, slightly sweaty, clothes sticking on to their tender lissome bodies in the harsh Chennai summer. You say why would I do this? Well, please don’t forget that I want to be different. But I still haven’t worked up the courage to ask the babes: "What colour panties are you wearing?" That’s actually the first pre-requisite to be a very 'different' person.
Amen

Lovely Sweet Ash,
I dint bargain for it....the quoted and fixed price was 840 bucks which was pretty darn cheap. Coz if I'd bought it in the show room, it would've cost me a coupla thousands. As I mentioned it was a saree exhibition by a village's women's self help group....Bless them!
Yea, wifey was very happy....:)
I need to continuously impress the dames......its my necessity:))))))) I told you folks earlier right? ;)))))))))))))))))))
Ash....dont you think its high time that we went out for an ice cream? The summer heat is killing me! :)))))))))))))))))))))
Thanks for your sweet comment :)

Lovely Sweet Meera,
Sorry, I am late in ack-ing your sweet comment...but then you know about me right? ;)))))))))
So, you find it groovy? And why would you ROTFL for that? ;))))))))))))))
Change my hair style? You think my hair style is bad? ;)))))) Previously I had a different hair style...but then on wifey's insistence I changed it to the present 'fruitish' (gnanapazhamish) one :))))))))))) The earlier one was more like a vagabond she says:)))))))))))))
Well, I think for the Chennai heat, the best thing is no hair style at all! Sam style....bald pate :)))))))))))))))))))))))))
Thanks once again for your sweet comment :)

Lovely Sweet Kiran,
Tracked by NASA.............ROTFL :))))))))))))))))))))))))
Yea, it IS a beach shirt.....would go well with some kakhi shorts...or maybe even a torn pair of jeans :)))))))
A margarita? You should be kidding me! Me and a margarita? I just cant believe you said that :)))))))))))))))))))))))))) Make that me and Margaret in a bikini........THEN I am all set :))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Actually I thought I'd wear the jeans Salman style...and then take a pic with maybe my navel showing? And then I discarded the idea coz no ones interested in seeing a stinky out of shape male navel :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Thanks for your hilarious comment :)

DW : Whoa!!!!!! that is some shirt, once you put that on you could be tracked down by NASA satellites :-)
Those sarees look good, I think you just stopped before the line with the pictures of jeans, I am sure these would have been deleted if someone had actually put them on
Going back to the shirt - appears to be some sort of beach shirt, you have a glass of margarita and you are all set :-)

Yea, exactly ...Kumarans had that combo thing...GOK if it took off....but that would be stupid right if did! matching matching stuff....geez....its like some parents dress up their kids in the same type shirt and shorts for three of their kids as if it were some uniform! :))))))))))))))))))))
Wifey looks extremely beautiful :) Thaz cool, aint it? :)))))) Yea, I have seen Anjali Devi in the old films...she was the dream goddess then.....I have seen her now too....she lives in a huuuuuge bungalow in Raja Annamalaipuram.....and the thing is she wears heavy heavy heavy make up that one needs to shield one's eyes to look at her :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Quite old now, but still bossy...probab she lives in her by gone past glory :))))))) (sorry if I sounded mean there....just couldnt help it)
