Step Out Clothes

Dear Chitra

Surprisingly I am the first one to give you feedback. Since the topic
you have written I have also experienced I thought let me give reply.
You write so well that I think manytimes and seeing other's FBs only
I write.

Now coming to the point I have also seen many south indian mamis
wearing maxi on the road. It looks so odd. One lady was there
anytime of the day she is on the road in maxi. If they want they can
wear it in the night before going to sleep and take out early in the morning.
Also people dress up well to go for morning walk. My husband after
retirement does not wear pants. He is always in veshti only. And
he never is bothered about dressing. What your grandmother says
is right. Early morning one should take bath and start their chores.
I also believe in that. Today times have changed and some ladies
wear maxi at home. My husband is an active member of Brahman
Seva Samithi and he tells that when they go for collection elderly
ladies of the house are in maxi and sometimes they think whether
they have come to south indian house or north indian. As far as
school uniforms are concerned if school unitorms are there then
u cant find out the difference between rich and poor. Rich children
wear rich clothes and the poor cant afford to wear. So the
children feel so sad. Now times have changed.

I do not know whether I have written according to the topic

with love

Hi Anandchitra
This is again something that even I used to wonder what to do.. I like to go for walks in the morning.. and ofcourse I feel so irritated to change from my nightdress to one that I can wear when I go out.. I always think, men are lucky, they can just wear what they wear for night.. cos society is ready to accept that.. wheareas if a lady comes out in nighty from top to bottom with the most dirtiest thought in their minds.. In my view, you wear what you feel comfortable in.. a lady can just not change her dress everytime when she steps out of the house.. she is the one who comes out many times, say to collect the milk packets, buy vegetables etc etc.. yes like Iyerviji mam has mentioned, may be she should change her outfit imm after she gets out of the bed.. but how many of us would do it everyday? esp when it comes to working woman.. having a bath in the morning before you start your day is also a good idea.. but again the problem is for the working women who will want to go to office fresh not after she sweets and starts to have a itchy feeling that comes after she works in the kitchen preparing the food for the day before leaving to office.

So, I would say, yes you can step out of the house in your maxi or ur night wear.. but dont take too many steps outside, that you go for a walk or wherever.. you have to go beyond the gate of ur house, its better to change..

and about kids not wearing uniform, I agree with Iyerviji mam.. that brings in more complex feeling in the child.. it is always advisable to maintain uniforms in the schools..

 

Hai anandchitra,

I agree with Iyerviji ma'm about night dress. kids not wearing uniform,that brings in more complex feeling in the child.. it is always advisable to maintain uniforms in the schools.

 

Hi AC,
HOW ARE U...i too think uniforms are a must till a certain age so that all kids are seen as equal...as for me I am always in a tshirt and baggy pants so can run out of the house anytime for errands...i dress up only for occassions..of course it depends on where u are also..my recent trip to kerala i was out of the house at 6.30 for my round of temples in my onam saree(the kerala white and gold)..a nice change...

Dear AC,
Good Topic..Well, Uniform as the name suggests was adopted in schools just to make sure that none is superior /inferior.If the child was asked to wear ordinary clothes, a child from a well to do family might wear an expensive dress, whereas the child from the middle/poor family might dress according to their family's affordability.This factor should not bring any differences in a child's mind about family status, inferior complex etc.

So i think,its better and a safe bet, if the schools stick on to Uniforms.

The second part, yes.. we do often see women wearing night dress on roads.I would just say, well, its comfortable and i'm also the one who wears it and feels most comfortable.But i dare not cross my gate and go beyond in maxi.It definitely looks odd.
