Re: Why women dress up

[Guest guest]

Ha!Ha!!Ha!!!Thats a real great one,Kishore!!You kept us so much

waiting for this delight.Please,keep it up--group is in dire need of

these energy shots--work far better than Bournevita/Horlicks/Complan

or even Boost...)

Neeti'86

PS:I won't be surprised if after reading your article........all the

girls would end up wearing casuals to big UK reunion...)And then

probably boys would be the ones most dressed up.Not only that i know

so many men who take even longer than women to decide/dress

up.....to impress who??God only knows!!!! What do we have to say

about that,dear surveyer or anyone????

PPS:Regarding 's query as what to wear?? I think a dress is

what you are comfortable with....)If you have lil ones who like to

tag along mommy.....and have the habit of pulling your pallu.....i

don't think even 5 meters of Saree would be a very wise choice for

that,for obvious reasons,i mean!!......)And salwar kameez looks

soooooooo much old fashioned.....totally'desi'..... I think thats

good enough to confuse you gals )

Now lets see who wears what?? )

PPPS:Hopefully, someone out there has taken the charge of

photography department......So that rest of the group can atleast

see and share the joy by just looking at the pictures.Hello....is

anyone reading this-Ayesha,Sadhana,Ravi.......i mean anyone??
