But did you ever think from where has this piece of fabric emerged. And why? Why didn’t you think of what made mankind to turn to such a different kind of a fabric for dressing up?
Reconsider this: This fabric probably emerged from the need for a certain cloth that could withstand the tough conditions faced by the labourers in one of the western nations and so we got out with what is called ‘Jeans’.
End up here?
Don’t you live in a place where there is a high temperature for most of the year? Then tell me why do you sport the bulky and heavy jeans so fantastically even after suffering the difficulties of its heavy weight and sweat producing effects.
Don’t you get tired with its bulkiness in weather like that of India? Why not choose a fabric that helps you deal with the hot environment of the subcontinent very well? And helps let you live a much better life here in this nation and not in a place where most of the part of the year has snows and chilling winters?
Here, in this nation, we have hot winds blowing, dust rising heavily every dry morning and afternoon, sun showing its exclusive presence, thick and rich forests with various animals and plant species. It is a land that has a mostly a plateau, yet a good portion of it is plain, with delta in the Bay of Bengal.
The westerners are quite different. They are just ‘upside down’ from our perspective. Now, does that mean should ape them? Is it necessary to do so to be called ‘developed citizens’ of a ‘developed nation’, when we have not yet been able to find the liveliest way to survive in our own land!
We should know how to survive in our own land. Let’s live our lives, not theirs. Yes, it’ll require a lot from us but we will have to do it. After all, to live in here on this generous land, we have to adapt styles to suit our climate. Do you have a land to live your own on its terms?
I sincerely hope that we are more open and positive with our approaches. We are alive to the flora and fauna, to the climate and environment of this wonderful land. If we try, we can banish the jeans from our lives. Forever.
It is not impossible!
