The Self Help Corner

Ramna park is where fashion goes to die.

Seriously, you wouldn't believe the stuff people wear out there. After careful (yeah, right) observation, I've categorized the fashion statements into four major categories.

1. I_can_still_pull_this_off line: Age inappropriate clothing. I'm guessing maybe the daughter-in-law thought that grandpa would look hip in kolapata (light green) nike stretch pants.

2. Look_what_I_found_in_my_closet line: People bring their 10 year old tee-shirt, which has lost its original color and has undergone major transformation than Optimus Prime.

3. I_diversify_to_creative_effect line: People would combine cotton panjabi with nylon track pants, hiking boots with PJs, etc.

4. I_can_afford_this_now line: Super expensive trendy clothing and trainers, so expensive that you're forbidden to sweat in it and actually ruin it. So you end up walking, slowly, and looking around for admiration.

I actually enjoy being in the park, and watching people in various stages of fitness trying to improve their body. If only I could enjoy this without looking at them, that probably would have been the best solution.
