Moving away from what he wears consider that suits or simply jackets may be made from linen, KHADI, and other materials. They do not need to have a lining (fourr, excuse spelling). We are not talking of furr zan’op (to throw a tantrum). They breathe much better than the synthetics (normally used). Certainly points worth considering.
SO, note the point about material and materiality to DOVETAIL with choices. Moving on below… But suffice it to say that individuals make choices for a range of reasons as also non-reasons. Let us briefly look at some: • what ones wears or does not is based on certain philosophies or beliefs (not as often thought by many to be religion) • awareness of ideas and the desire and ability to encompass in ones lived aesthetic and to showcase symbolically • to suggest that all parties babble Gandhi, Gandhi but then go to bush this, and shrub that — bush shirts or those low hanging cooltas (kurtas), that belong in mujras. (Umrao Jahaan, Pakeezah, etc al) • to form alignments via ones poshak (not preen or for that matter simper as at Poshak Utsav of the frak (weak) mind) WITH specific groups some of the time, or at all times • attitudes and other emotive constructions which we may not know about • perhaps even lack of interest to consider anything, AS ALSO being content, as also simply lack of awareness + + + One small note: In Japan when I am involved in certain rituals we wear traditional underwear not something modern as in the brands. What is the POINT of pointing this out. Simply that in India, other than those diehards who attend the Kumbhs: Purna and Ardh, those who will not settle for changes just cause its upon them, those who dip into temple ponds, and perform certain ritual and ceremonial ablutions simply settle for their briefs, and NBA style long shorts. It says something about them. Many are of the comfortably bush shirt wearing crowd no less. The Gods for their part are surely chuckling. Now I do not want to hear anything telling me there is nothing wrong in this. I know that, but make the connections yourselves. And I will not be responding to anything inane. ++++++++++++ venantius j pinto On 1/24/14, Ana Maria Fernandes <[email protected]> wrote: > i saw our chief minister dressed in bush shirt . <Many of us must have made > a statement that our chief minister does not dress well and to the > occassion.
