anti-styleism

no , i have not mispronounced. no it may not figure in oxford dictionary- but does that mean the word is meaningless? even the word dingolfication is not there in oxford dictionary but it still doesn not remove the meaning of the word!!!

anti-styleism is the mantra or code of life for people like me who dislike to conform with any standards of style!!! i am the most uncomfortable around places and people who like to dress chic , stylish and fashionable. especially if i myself am dressed decently- shirt, jeans and shoes.

in those occasions nothing uplifts my spirit more than to see some one, preferably dressed in the most bohemian fashion possible.
2 days back i had been to the forum mall in bangalore with my sis in law and her cousin sister. now anyone who has ever been to bangalore knows that the forum is a heaven for stylish chic young people to ogle and be ogled. all sorts of style statements from the richest , stylest young people can be observed here. and one thing mostly common to these people are a disdain for anyone dressed simply or traditionally- a veritable symptom of "snobbism". these snobs think that one has to be dressed in chains, stylish watches, chained pants and such paraphernalia to be "cool" and anyone who dresses simply is an "uncouth country rustic".

one of my most favorite experiences had been once going to the kochi airport to pick somebody up with my cousin bro vijay. he too is an "anti-stylist" though maybe not as fanatical as me!!! we dressed in home t shirts and lungis!!! we drove up in the car and we were waiting for the cousin to be picked up. the large numbers of "desi foreigners" who were mostly dressed up to greet their relatives coming up from abroad. now these "stylish , smart" people were offended seeing such country people soiling the image of their style heaven!!! it was immense fun to see the snobby disdain !!! it felt like giving them one up!!!
bu hu ha ha haaa

it was the same feeling i felt when i went to the forum. how i would have enjoyed if i went there in a lungi!!!!! oooh, so fantastic!!!
when i got my job at spectrum i learned that there was no dress code. i also found that a lot of people were indeed very stylishly dressed. s while delivering my confirmation letter back signed i dressed up in my particular style. ordinary shirt, mundu (dhoti), sandals and a long umbrella!!! it was a great fun seeing the snobby looks from the "style gurus"!!!

i do hope that more people will start following this creed. perhaps i can even become a spiritual or philosophical guru!!! who knows i could have my own ashramas and franchisees in usa , europe and japan!!! who knows i could be a gazillionaire myself!!! ooh!!! how i get some inspirations!!!
