Substitute for clothes??? >>This thought first came to me when I spend my first winters in Delhi, after my wedding. My husband was then working with Benetton, and he was very obsessed with clothes. We had more than enough stuff, and because we were in a rented apartment, didn’t have enough space to keep things. There were sweaters kept on chairs, coats on the table, shawls on bed, scarf and gloves on television and on computer and other woolens and clothes on the door and hangers. The house used to be very untidy. It was like - "clothes clothes every where, and no place to sit"! The scene was like a "DHOBIGHAT".>>With very dirt free and neat thoughts I further write... >>imagine life without clothes? Hey wait a minute; I have asked you to visualize LIFE and not US without clothes. IF WE COULD LIVE LIFE THE "ADIVASI" ESHTYLE!!! Sincerely, give it a thought.>>No need of daily laundry, drying, picking up and folding them and keeping them in its respective places. No ironing, no dry-cleaning, and yes, no giving two thoughts of what to wear on a Sunday party.>>No more wardrobes. I guess 70 percent of the houses are filled with clothes. >>No worries during rainy season, and moreover lots of saving of time, energy and money of course, because no shopping!!! ( aah! thats sad!) >Aren’t we really obsessed towards clothes these days?

I agree that it would be gr8 not to be obsessed with clothes, also agree with all things of saving... but dont prefer the ADIVASI bit, just think, then there would be no E-mail, and no blogs, and we would be just comunicating....Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! ooOOOoooo!!! just imagin how that would be!!!!!
And there would be no Sunday party, because if we were to live in that style we would have party every evening!!!
Aaaaaaaaaa!!!! EEeeeeeee!!!!
But let me say, this makes for some interesting reading. And offcourse a reason to think before I go for my next shopping spree!!! Thanks for giving a reason for a second thought!!
happy writing..
