I was finding out about dress preferance -why many girls prefer western outfits or churidhars to sarees.

First convenience and comfort, then economics-maintenance of sarees is expensive-like starching , pressing, drycleaning , storing and preserving cost far more.

In delhi most women even very seniors prefer salwar kameez to sarees. ,girls prefer jeans and tops for casual and skirts ore pants for office wear.Sarees are only for

occassions.

Boys ,men of course mostly wear halves,three quarters exhibiting their bare hairy legs and pants and shirts for official wear . T shirts for all casual ,friday dressing etc

Dear Krish ji,

There is another type of garment that is proving to be versatile.

Its called the Abaya....its like a long maxi dress..does not require any ironing and just slip it on and you are good to go.

Muslims usually wear it with headscarf but Non Muslims do not have to wear headscarf with it.

Its full length and full long sleeves too and totally covered up & decent.

Excellent leg space for long strides as it is loose fitting and flowing.

Its better than Salwar Kameez cos its only one piece and those elderly who have knee problems might find wearing an Abaya a lot easier than getting in and out of a salwar kameez.

I wear this to work often sans headscarf.

What do men /boys wear?

Do they also have something similar like arab robes in malaysia?

Dear Krish Sir,

Please watch carefully Sing Chennai mAmis, during your next visit. :spy: Many of them follow this:

Churidar for walking / travel, nightie at home and sarees ONLY while going for weddings / to temples.

Churidar has become our national dress long back. Mod-girls and mAmis opt for jeans and Tshirts!

You may know that here are special undergarments to be worn with T'shirts.

Most of the 'singams' are 'asingams' at home!!

 

[krish44]

My knowledge on sartorial preferences of women are very superficial.

So I am able to comment on what I can see alone.

This refers to the last line of your post RRji

There are typical cases where some are lionised in offices and are petty toothless pambu home .

Some women have this effect on their men

Robes are only worn by muslim males for prayers but you can see African males even the Non Muslims ones wearing their colorful traditional robes here on some occasions.

Robes are really good...saves times for quickies too.

Becos at home we all lose out to the MAMBA!

I believe that just two drops of mamba venom can send one to heaven.

But I believe it is found only in africa.

Some female human clones of mamba are roaming freely waiting for prey.

 

[krish44]

knowledgeable persons can tell me what do thiruman and srichurnam on iyengars head signify.

How did this practice start?

In madhurastakam by sri vallabhacharya, he talks of thilakam madhuram.

Some say thiruman signifies lotus feet of the Lord and srichurnam his consort lakshmi

How did the practice of U and Y for iyengar sects began?

There are only types of females:

1)The Anaconda

2)Boa Constrictor.



Both slowly squeeze the life of their husbands...sometimes it takes a almost life long for effects to be seen!

[krish44]

decided to turn holy.

I understand thiruman signifies lotus feet of the lord , srichurnam lakshmi.

a bhaktha wears this sign on his forehead to get blessings of the lord .

The devout undergo summarsanam and have these signs on other parts of the body.

Snake women are favourites of filmmakers.

Around midnight they turn snakes for sometime alone.

I remember sridevi playing snake woman in a movie .

But she is a good snake loving her husband and protecting him from evil villains

NAAGINIS are back with a vengeance -

The dress is rightly named as Abaya .

It may even be called a s Nirbhaya.

People like you-know-who will have to work a long way up

to catch hold of the now internationally famous five letter

word referring to the very private part of a woman!!

Tejas is very excited today. He is going to make a presentation on Diwali in the school.

He is going to present all the kids with a diya (oil lamp) choco-coco-burfi and a designer greeting card!

Tejas is very excited today. He is going to make a presentation on Diwali in the school.

He is going to present all the kids with a diya (oil lamp) choco-coco-burfi and a designer greeting card!

The presentation became a family project. We all had to help him to get the sweets individually wrapped in clear sheets.

Then a colourful diya purchased from the local Indian store was packed with the wrapped up sweets in another clear sheet and tied with a thin satin ribbon to which the designer greeting was attached.

It is NOT hard work but it is time consuming! But it is worth the trouble when you see the faces of the children light up with the colourful and unexpected gifts!

A to Z of Life!

Do keep your temper at BAY;

Not just today, but every DAY!
It is a gift of a lovely FAY;

Be happy, but be not GAY!
Burn your worries as if HAY,

Feel jolly at the sight of a JAY!

Don’t wish for the winter in MAY;
Be prepared to accept “NAY, NAY”!

Do your work and earn your PAY;
Never lose sight of the hope’s RAY! :thumb:

And whatever you wish to SAY,
Always say it in the proper WAY!

Written by me way back in in 2010
and is true for all times! :thumb:

We lose what we don't use!
So one must keep the brain active
and mouth passive for the best results.
Here are some brain teasers in the form of portmanteau words.
How many can you decipher honestly???

1. LOUTH
2. CROOL
3. WEESER
4. STAKCAL
5. HORMAN
6. BIRRAIN

These have been coined keeping in mind a current political scene.
No Tom/Dick/ Harry need project these answers on himself!

பொது எதிரி!


பறவைகள் ஒரு புறம், விலங்குகள் மறு புறம்,
புரிந்தன முடிவில்லாத உலக மகா யுத்தம்!
பாரத யுத்தம் போல பல நாட்கள் நீண்ட யுத்தம்!
பறவைகளும் விடவில்லை விலங்குகளும் தான்!

பறவைகள் கை ஓங்கிய போது வௌவால்,
பறந்து சென்று அந்தப் பக்கம் சேர்த்துகொண்டது.
“நானும் பறவை இனமே! என் இறக்கைகளை
நன்றாகப் பாருங்கள்”, என்று கூறியது அது.

விலங்குகள் கை ஓங்கிய போது வௌவால்,
விரும்பி அவர்கள் பக்கம் சேர்ந்து கொண்டது .
“உங்களை போலவே நானும் குட்டி போட்டு,
உங்களைப் போலவே நானும் பால் தருகிறேன்”.

“வென்றது யார்? தோற்றுப் போனது யார்?”
என்று யாராலுமே சொல்ல முடியவில்லை!
“போதும் யுத்தம்” என்று இரண்டு தரப்பும்,
பேசி முடிவு செய்தன, போரும் முடிந்தது!

சமயத்திற்கு தகுந்தவாறு கட்சி மாறி மாறி,
சந்தர்ப்பவாதியாகச் செயல்பட்ட வௌவாலை,
விலங்குகளும், பறவைகளும் ஒரு மனதாக
விலக்கினர்; அன்று முதல் அது பொது எதிரி!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.

Let us not forget the oxymoron coined by some morons.

I had always believed that the word 'sometimes' is the opposite of the word 'always'!

So what can be a better oxymoron than 'sometimes always' or 'always sometimes' ???

Here are some more examples ( good enough for an English Grammar session )

1. The poor man had got used to these 'unwelcome welcome' by then!

2. A 'warm chill' ran down is spine!

3. His 'dumb wisdom' was mind blowing!

4. The place was 'bursting with peace' .

5. A 'deafening silence' swept through the area!

6. A 'calm storm' ransacked the place.

7. Who is better... 'the wise young' or 'the unwise old'???

What we pay!

Everyman has a price, as his own!
So is every bad habit we indulge in!

Smoking is always being projected
A sign of real manliness perfected! :smokin:

It always claims its price to be paid,
An arm, a leg or a lung, if so allowed! :wacko:

When will man wake up to this truth?
And will learn to live in good health! out:
