Hi! http://7.nosyptft.info/94_0.html . Thanks!…
]]>And knowing Air India, i wudnt be too surprised if the same airhostesses are still around, not young any longer
Anju - A warm welcome to the blog
Why make everything into some sort of a gender war or an ego issue betn men/women? Certainly that wasnt my purpose, and not even Tharoor’s, if i read his article correctly.
Wearing sarees enhances a girl’s beauty - take that as a compliment, on face value, and nothing more.
And if it looks beautiful on the women, and suggesting not to discard it totally, it is just an observation…
Where does the question or debate over gender equality come into this, is something way beyond my comprehension!
Manish - Actually, sari has evolved, if you really see what Sushmita Sen wore in Mai Hoon Na - i was expecting some sort of a revival after that. But it didnt happen, because i m sure it is quite an impractical attire to wear daily. But think of it, my mom/grandmom et al did whole lot of household work, w/o much machines at that time and more family members, and all in saris!!!
For occasions, yes, it does wonders - come to think of, would Madhuri looked that ravishing had she been wearing a bright purple dress in ‘Didi tera devar’ instead of that zari-filled sari!
I agree with you on one point - prob. i wudnt hv eulogized on the sari if it hadnt been rare. And sadly, i also agree with your last line - it cant be fully saved, but let it not be completely extinct as well!
]]>I think, lets keep it for occassions. It does wonders. I remember in our school/college days whenever there was a Sari day, even an ordinary looking girl looked so very different. Many a heart would skip a beat. But have she had to wear Sari every day, after a few days she would again be ordinary. I am sure if every lady wore a sari, you would have eulogized so much about Sari.
So we can’t save death, but urge ladies to wear them at least on occasions.
]]>Well i dont know y saree is considered the Indian dress that always gets noticed - prob. it is the equivalent to Hindi (and am i starting off another debate, kya?
)
Ha ha , i remember comments from most stories, since i often re-read them…
Sudipta - And I hv been awfully bad in not been able to visit your blog of late. But promise to make up for it once this goddamn March closing gets over…till then, i m concentrating largely on my own blog to survive
You hv put it very aptly… on my part, i hvnt worn a dhoti, come to think of it, i dont think my dad has ever done so too!
Vidya - Well said!
Juneli - This post has attracted long comments
And yeah, i think we hv been unfair to the dhoti…but then kurta pyjama is still there, and I luv to wear that, even on some formal occasions!
Your post reminded me my post “Dress Vs. Values” I hope you remember that one and also remember my views on dresses
.
I simply love Sari (specially Cottons and Silk
). No questions and no options. Period!
But you will surprise to know that I love to wear jeans in day-to-day life. And reasons are already mentioned there in the post
but I never let go the chances whenever it comes to wear Sari.
And you know what I also suppose to make a post on dresses once again as the management have decided to have a uniform for us…
… (And what the uniform… let it be suspense) and here you have written a post on the dresses and changing.
Hey you have forgotten to mention about Rangila girl.. she was looking more appealing and alluring in Sari (Films: Judaai and Aflatoon)
In the earlier generation - Rekha and Jayaprada. Don’t ask about Jayaprada…. The way she wears South Indian Silk saris Wow! ….. she looks so elegant… her looks is sheer delighting… not only that her appearance gives me the impression of goddesses - such as decorated in Durga Pooja. In my opinion till today no one can beat her in Sari - not even the beauty queens.
I talked so much positive thing about the Sari here but I’m next to Anks - why it’s only for women and not for the men?
At last, I want to say, Sari will not lost from our culture because all the girls and women love to wear sari no matter occasionally so that of course we will be wearing it less. That’s all
Ops so long comment
