Was a wonderful read. Out comes my kurta tomorrow! =) (Need to find a woolen one though,to fit the weather)
..very interesting,
…the other day this girl i know did not join her colleagues at work to go pubbing, as she happened to be wearing a salwar kurti and would not want to be seen in a pub wearing indian and looking behenji!!!
…and ya the tables have definately turned!!….today item girls are considered hot and happening!!.. we now have the munnis and sheila ki jawani kinda of songs, being a super super hit among the masses…both young and old… you can just about hear them being played around every nook and corner….just dislike it when i hear 5 & 7 year old kids singing and dancing to these numbers… aren’t we responsbile for taking away their innocence at such an early age?
Thank You Revlon. These prejudices have seeped into us so quietly we can’t separate ourselves from these feelings. Being Indian is the entire package and apparel should be the choice of wearer, with due respect to context, ambiance & the norms of the land. Strange how we segregate people on everything superficial, but forget that real beauty is in behavior, attitude & spirit.
