issk,
i read your note on safed and kurta not right, and remembered writing something about my love of white and hate of that kurta during the crooner days. i also had been delighted at the way he said stupid in that epoisode... "stoopid" not "stewpid", basic and just that way, just like me. stoopid. i like.
okay here it is:
this post is dedicated to a man i adore and a kurta i did not.time i got some dislikes and tamatars and jooteys and stuff. good for the soul.
seriously, i am a white addict and i could die of a kurta od. grew up in delhi during the guru kurta days, hep girls wore khadi, silver, and kolhaps (lingo from merawala purana zamana), handsome men wore khadi kurtas with chang pyjamas, usually at home, often white. or, i still remember falling flat for a friend of my uncle who arrived in his beetle in shocking pink khadi guru kurta and jeans. 40 odd years, still the pink looks cool.
i spent the better part of my twenties and thirties in khadi kurtas and shalwars. short, solid shades, loads of whites. still have some stacked in my cupboard a la our man. our reasons are different, that's all.
so. if he wore a white, plain, simple, sexy, long or short khadi or linen or fine muslin kurta with narrow pyjamas and glided down those steps in slow motion, i'd be dead and not posting.
embroidered kurta in unknown material just doesn't do it for me. or for this man's sense of fashion. i adored him in weird purple, because it was true to this guy's ishtyle. but yeh bilackbuster surprisiya, kuch flat fall kiya.
of course, he didn't buy it, his di did. and her choice is what it is, but surely she knows humarey chhote's tastes, or does it not matter?
on this topic, will shift to my other post. to be updated soon.
ps: i just noticed the cuff with wide bead jhalar. someone really doesn't know her brother, does she?
