I have been known to wear khaki and look scruffy....
Just FYI: Khadi isn't khaki.

Indeed. Thank you for that correction. No, I have not gone about wearing
either Khadi or silk while working at NGOs.
PS: What did we do before wikipedia?
We perpetuated a somewhat larger amount of misinformation based on minor
misunderstandings like mine.
I've spent a lot of time on Wikipedia thanks to silklist. Lots of terms
here that don't translate directly. Just looked up "jalebis" and found
that it can best be translated as "mini-funnel cakes".
The above is a note of appreciation, BTW, not a complaint.
