Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 No,its not to start a controversial topic by any means. Actually,it's about an incident related to Khadi and BadiBehenji. It was Sunday morning, I had just joined as HO,and Prof Arora was taking his rounds and we all too wanted to finish the paper work soon and go out,when we recieved a call from Badi Behenji. She had severe red eye and wanted Prof to come and check her up.Immediately,I was asked to accompany the Prof. I asked him to excuse me,since I was not wearing Khadi,that day and thought may run into trouble,but Prof assured me,that since,Behenji had red eye and photophobia,she would not be in a position to know about my dress. So,I went along.She really had a bad bout of conjunctivitis.Prof did the ocular examination,while I stood away from Behenji's field of vision. Lastly,the Prof asked me to instill antibiotic drops into Behenji's eyes and just after I had done that,She got hold of my shirt casually,and felt the texture,and said nothing,but as we all were walking out,she called back the Prof and ordered him to mark me absent for 2 days for not wearing khadi. That's commitment,dedication,U name it,my friends. Shyam(84) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 shyam -- that was a nice anecdote. even though you got reprimanded -- i would think that was a are honor. here 100% cotton is universally popular and the line of linen shirts looks so much like khadi -- and there are the hand woven shirts you get in the ethnic stores -- ashok 1984 shyamkamath wrote: No,its not to start a controversial topic by any means.
