Dil wearing shorts for a family function ???

With due respect to all those living in India, I want to take the liberty to express my opinion.

I feel Indians living in India have lost their culture. They feel it is 'cool' to rebel, to break the norms of their culture, and blindly follow western culture.

My cousin though quite young ( 15) was wearing a miniskirt, glittery top and stockings at her mama's ritualistic pre wedding function( gadegnar in maharashtrian culture).
She looked quite silly to be frank.

My family was aghast, but her parents were ok. It is ok to wear a miniskit, but the place and the occassion should be suitable.

Smililarly one of my aunt arranged a grand haldi kumkum ceremony for her newly wed DIL, and to her dismay the DIL walked in with a jeans and a spegheti top!

 

When people get confused over showing - off their standards,they actually end up showing -off their low standards.

I mean in the name of being cool and confident you end up in a mini for an indian ritual.... no really, you can cover yourself in rugs and still be cool.

 

I think it depends !!
Like Op here stated that since the dil is born and bought up in India , does not necessarily mean that she wud have started wearing shorts when she went to US. I am born and bought up in India and I have been wearing shorts from when I was a kid and my family members are very comfortable about it. But I would still never wear shorts in front of my inlaws, it would make them uncomfortable and and also I would be uncomfortable before them. But if it were a function at my home, I dont mind wearing shorts, I know they will understand, but I would feel a little out of place because normally in fuctions u wud wear something fancy and shorts are never really fancy. They are comfort wear, not fancy wear. Its like as comfortable as I am in shorts, I wont wear it to a wedding!! Thats just plain common sense !!

 

I will agree with Anikaraj, ladies should wear appropriate dress according to situation which gives respect to themselves and family.:roll:

 

Its not about culture or brought up, its all about a simple thing called commonsense. It shows the level of maturity the person has.

 

Yep Cinderella ,nowadays common sense has become super sense gigglingsmiley

 

I always make sure that I am not the odd one in the group at any event. So dressing should be as per what others are wearing. If everyone is wearing traditional dress, then even wearing a saree would be attention seeking and uncomfortable.

While visiting India from abroad, people always see you with a different eye. I had worn jeans and tops bought from India and people asking me did you get them from US?
