The saree is dying.........
It was ethnic day at my office yesterday. I didnt wear anything ethnic though. And I dont even know what I could have worn. Maybe some dothi kind of thing and nothing on top! And I guess the ladies would have filed a case of harassment and the HR would have printed out the pink slip with my name on it!
But I noticed something. The good old saree is slowly dying. I thought the saree was the staple dress (I dont even know if we can use 'staple' for clothes) for the people south of the vindhyas. My mom wears it everyday. All women of her generation still wear it. But thats where it stops. The younger generation has ostracized it. They bring it out only on occassions when forced by their moms and always keep cribbing all day telling how uncomfortable it is. I will not comment on its comfortness as I have never worn it.
But I observed that girls look really beautiful in the saree. I am not trying to objectify women here. The younger generation wants to wear jeans and short tops that sometimes does not fit a 5 year old. And they keep pulling the top down a dozen times a minute. Dont wear short tops if you are not comfortable. Just try on the saree and look into the mirror I would say. The lesser that is revealed the better. Believe me, the guy (supposedly corrupt and narrow minded) is more attracted to the girl when she reveals less. And a saree can help achieve that.
For today's women the saree may be a pain to wear. And that might be true. But I think the saree should not be banished. Dont kill it is all I am saying.

Saree or no saree - beautiful girls look beautiful anyway, but i would say Indian women look more elegant in saree...

Yeah, I agree that Indian women look elegant in a saree. I dont have any female readers who comment. So I dont think we will get any gal's perspective!

That is some food for thought. The saree is sometimes worn to reveal more! Sometimes I too feel the girls are better off wearing a jeans and top.

Ahem.... A woman's point of view is needed here. Saree's don't cover much!!! The whole midrif is exposed. And most of the back!! It's really scary to raise ur hands wearing a saree!! It only gives the illusion of covering a lot because of the amount of fabric floating around. I think the most modest Indian dress is the Salwar.
