Hot nation - strange clothing

Tweet

I sweat so I guess my kidneys are not overworked. My skin shares the job with it, they are like good pals..for now. My city tends to be hot almost throughout the year. Not as sticky as coastal cities but still, we sweat. Temperature is rising with tall structures all around. I find it strange that people are still fine with formal suits and thick kanjeevarams (silk sarees that are woven in Kanchipuram). I find it strange that people are willing to wear art silk clothes simply because there is some shining motif, for which they pay a price. I find it strange that people are willing to wear make up that makes them sweat and it kinda shines on their cheeks. Don't get me wrong. Each and every one has a right to wear what he or she likes, and put on loads of that make up. But I doubt if western make up stuff is right for our city. Simple talc should do. I end up with simple cottons loose and long - partly because breathable version is hard to find and prints atrocious. Not because I cannot afford those silks. More so because I give preference to my comfort over others pleasure of looking at me being well clad.To that extent, you could say I am selfish. I also feel that a person has to suffer with inferiority complex if she feels compelled to conform to something that makes her uncomfortable. May be I suffer with superiority complex. So here is me with a couple of my friends at the temple. You can see me in black beard (mask lowered to exhibit my charming face filled with age spots) LOL. Do you think we Indians need to get real about somethings at least? After all, it is more than 70 years since we got our independence and we are still wearing clothes like the Brits did or do.
