Business Casual

Business Casual's.This is the word that describes the office wear that multinationals prescribe for their employees.Don't be mis-led by the word. It is one of the new words coined by the marketing and HR people inorder to make people feel good when they read it.It
has a feel good factor and masks it's own officiality.

The attire composes of trouser's in colours that are difficult to differentiate and shirt's in even blander colors. It's Men and Women. Please get over your Girl's and Boy's tag. Seems as though that in a day you make the transition from being a Boy or Girl to a Man or Woman respectively. If you get bored atleast the female employee has the option of wearing salwar-kameez
but for a person like me who always bemoans the challenge presented by dupatta,its not an option but a compulsion. Moreover, i don't know what the designer of women formal wear had against the female specie. No pockets.And i am not one of those people who can do without pockets. Have lived my entire life wearing jeans,cargoes which have multitude of pockets which you can fill with all sorta stuff and now i have to do with none. A problem in itself. Moreover, bags are an extra that actually hinder my ever free-flowing movement.

The most irritating thing that i face is the problem of wearing sandals. Why can't we wear sport shoes or shoes that are comfortable. Ladies sandal's will always have heels which go against the very principle of balancing.I find myself toppling down every few steps, watching each step i take as though i have just learnt to walk, not to mention the continuous discomfort that these sandals offer. Let me wear my Nike's,Reebok's and I'll be gratefull to you forever.(Imagine sports shoes combined with formal trousers- a fashion disaster in itself. Such a disaster that it might propel me to the top of the worst dressed people on earth..lookout Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears, you have competition coming up). Not to mention that
walking has been made an exercise in itself,something that i did earlier without notice. And somehow i find people stepping on my toes more now than earlier, and it pains ten times now. Come on people!Have some pity on my bare toes. Always sheltered by socks and sports shoes they are not used to your full weight falling on them directly.

It's been barely a fortnight and I am already bored of wearing formal's. And to keep this up all my life- it seems a really long life. Compared to my male counterparts, they don't even have an option. Somehow this makes me feel better.
