Fridays in our office are for Casual dressing. We can come in jeans and T-shirt. People are known to let their head down on a Friday. After all it’s the end of a boring week. A few fridays back, I was also wearing casuals. I was wearing jeans and T-shirt. Sometimes its feel good to wear casuals rather than the mandatory Shirt and Trousers.
So I was wearing this black jeans and a short T-shirt which adjusted comfortably on my curves. I don’t mean the biceps but the tummy curve. The point is that I have those bulging curves.
During lunch time, I walked like Shahrukh Khan with all that attitude and style. One of my colleague came from behind me and said
“Can I tell you something?”
Information is never wasted. After all, my mother always said; knowledge is power. I nodded a Yes
“Teri pant peeche se phat gayi hai” (Your pant is torn from behind)
Now this was a disastrous news. I checked and truly, there was a big slit on my pant just below the back pockets. How did I get those, I have no idea. If I had not known, I would have least cared about the slit. But now that I was aware of the slit, I became all the more conscious.
What started after that was an exercise to hide the slit, pulling the t-shirt down; putting my Tiffin like it was my natural way of walking and all that stuff. It was a good thing that I had worn black pants and it matched with my black ass so the torn part was not noticed quite easily. (Now that sounds like gangster language)
That day I had to sit on my desk all day.
I could have gone and bought new pants but I never get pants of my size in Netherlands in the heights section. I am too short for Netherlands standard.
This is not the first time that I had a wardrobe malfunction. A shirt torn here, a pant torn there and the worst of all, the pant zip.
Pant zip is one of the worst and most embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions. I had a lot of those in my childhood. It happens on the day when I have to stand in front of many people. I try to hide it as long as possible but its a stark reality for everyone to see.
It was both embarrassing and fun during a zip malfunction. Different code words could be used to communicate with the person to tell him that his zip is open. The most common of all was the “post office” reference. The comment would go like;
“Tumhara post office khula hai” (Your post office is open)
“Chiti post karne ke baad kitni din lagenge?” (How many days would it take after posting a letter?)
9 out of 10 times, the person would understand and he would stand exposed. If he has forgotten it, it would be a minor problem of just zipping it up but if the zip does not work, then it was a big problem and he prays that the day ends soon.
The wardrobe malfunction not only makes you conscious of your own clothes but also others. When my pant tore from behind, I started looking at everybody’s posterior. Now this may not be decent thing to do but then I wanted to find out people who suffered the same fate. It was not if I wanted to see their ass but looking at them at least I could at least take solace that they suffer ass much as me.
I see a lot of tore jeans in Amsterdam and its classified as style. I remember during school plays, to show a beggar, torn clothes were used but now torn clothes gets respect and is known as latest fashion. Fashion can sometime be strange.
Fashion is really confusing and strange. Last week, I attended a fashion show organized by a local community here. This was not the first time I attended a fashion show. I have seen a lot of these local fashion shows which bring out the handsome and beautiful people and they walk, actually cat walk with those so called fashion clothes. The best part of watching a fashion show is actually watching a fashion show. You can freely ogle at the girls and of course girls can freely ogle at boys.
The fashion show has beautiful girls wearing close to beautiful clothes and highlighting their vital assets. In normal circumstances, I would think twice before ogling at any girl but here I was supposed to look and appreciate the err… clothes. What could be good than watching such a wide variety of beautiful clothes?
A few days before, a wardrobe malfunction during an international fashion show generated a lot of controversy. An enquiry committee was appointed to find if the malfunction was genuine. A total waste of time for people who officially wanted to ogle at girls.
That day I become comfortable with the little slit in my pants. I notice that I was the only one who was conscious of the tear and everybody else went about their work. Its good that I am not handsome at all or else it would have generated a big controversy.
Lucky me!

hi Punds..
hhehehehehehehhehe 😀
He he he 🙂
Zip malfunction is the worst and one can’t even call it fashion (then again one might)
Great Post.
🙂 HE HE HE 🙂

Hehe .. my fashion tip is – don’t ever walk like SRK. He will make anything and everything falter.
Btw there were 2-3 incidents of the so-called wardrobe malfunction and its always women losing their apparels on the ramp. It’s so frustrating, why don’t those hot hunks try to ‘function’ a ‘malfuction’ .. even we ogle (officially & unofficially)…
PS- let others decide, if you are handsome or not :>)

Malfunctioning zip? Fashion? Maybe
I am seeing teenagers wearing jeans that totally expose their underwear. They call it low fit or something so its possible that exposing would be a fashion one day

Hello to you too

Once I left my friend’s home without dupatta, was in college then, we happily went to a restaurant, had lunch, then went to another place for some coffee when I realised that I am dupatta-less, we immediately drove to her place and I coaxed her to run to her room and hide my dupatta under her kurta as I was really embarrassed to go in and get it myself 😀
But if that were to happen now, It wouldn’t matter that much 😀 I mean we do have dozens of dresses without dupatta… courtesy Fashion 🙂
LOL! What a sight that must be!!
😀
You go to fashion shows? Well I never! LOL!
