Senseless Syndrome

That dark blue colour faded jean…If I remember right I bought that jean when I was in my twelfth standard and I have got a good fondness towards that attire. Over two year’s time a lot of changes have occurred both to me and to the jean. I was very lean (underweight, malnourished, Somali….) when I was studying tenth but put on weight when I was in my eleventh and twelfth and things became worse during the after board summer vacation that it was toooooo long and I entered college only in winter.

Coming on to the topic…ok the jean. Since engineering college students affiliated to wooaak… are prohibited from wearing jeans (dress code sucks!!!) I rarely get opportunities of wearing such apparels and that occurs only on weekends. Everyone was crazy about the faded jeans during my school days and everyone had at least one. Not to leave aside the trendy me ;). I bought it in a local store and it was not of very good quality but it has served the purpose I think I would be in records for wearing the same pant for the maximum number of times (read-also without washing Ok…Ok…thanks for the compliments.

It is both advantageous and disadvantageous of having a brother who shares the same hip size as you. It was my brother who experimented with the pant first when he wore it to the washed out India-New Zealand one day encountered and when he returned home a little of the bottom part of the jean has also been washed away. I never failed to do my part to his similar faded jean. If you look keenly, the bottom part of the jean of the people who wear it beyond their leg length despite wearing a shoe or any other footwear would be invariably torn. I bet my theory is right and I have noticed it a lot. So my advice is fold the bottom part or alter it before it tears. If it tears never mind it is fashion.

The jean is also a body-hugging one and also I measure my size changes with respect to the pant. Taking or putting things inside the pockets is also a challenging facet. The woes continue when you wear a pocket less t-shirt. Everything you have to jostle into the sticking entrance of the pocket. If you put some coins it gets on to the bottom of the pocket and I remains impossible to take it out without removing the pant. If you keep a pen it protrudes out and punches in the belly when you bend. There are also similar other complicatedness which cannot be mentioned openly.

All these can be attuned but the most strenuous thing is to keep my pencil box sized cell phone inside the pocket. Mind you I cannot carry it all the way in my hands and if I do so I get some strange looks. Somehow I thrust it into my pocket with great intricacy and a moment later it starts ringing. Now I start taking it out and by that time the call becomes a missed call. Once I was eating in a hotel in a similar situation and it started ringing. Remind you that the difficulty becomes double fold in the sitting posture. When you see me from a distance, digging something in the right pant pocket with the left hand you would feel that I am performing some complicated paschimuthanasana in the public.

Similar thing happened again in the bus sitting in the crooked seat with some unknown chap near me. But this time it’s not a call but a message from Hutch. “Hi! Hutch…Simply GUESS and win…guess which company manufactures the model 6600 and you could win a NOKIA 6600 worth Rs.11467. Mr.Thandavarayan won yesterday. Call 123 and say GUESS. Sms charges apply”. I avow I really got this message and there are also similar equally funny messages. I thought of throwing the cell at the person’s head sitting next to me but I somehow restrained since if I had done that I would have faced a criminal procedure!!!

P.S.: I have planned to wear the same jean tomorrow also
