I went to shop for some formal wear yesterday. Got a couple of shirts, a couple of trousers and came out feeling all good about the money spent!
Now, there was this little business of buying a tie, since I did not own one. Now, ties, I must add are very expensive, which is weird, considering that they have the least amoount of cloth on them!! Such are the strange ways of the fashion world. Once, I was watching this show on NDTV called Bombay Talkies where they were interviewing a well known fashion designer (don't remember his name now). Anyways, the stuff at his boutique costed anywhere from 50 grand to about 3 lakhs... 3 lakhs!!!!!!! That's how much it costs to perform an entire wedding!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, lets not digress.. Now, where was I?? Ahh, yeah!! TIES..
So, i go back to this store, in search of a tie. I find one that I like, and then focus my attention on the price tag. It was something like 799 bucks!! I am like, what??? That's how much a shirt costs, and I am sure that more work goes into making a shirt than a tie.. But then, as I said strange are the ways of the fashion world!!
Coming to the ties, common sense prevailed and I decided against spending 800 bucks on something that I am probably going to wear as many times as Saurav Ganguly is going to score a century. So, I went to an uncle, raided his wardrobe and am back with a few ties.
Yay!!! A good day's work, one might think!!
But, I DON'T know how to knot a tie!!!!
*Sigh*
Note to self - Learn to knot tie!!!!
Later Edit
The fashion designer was Tarun Tahiliani!
Cheers

as u often find pleasue in reminding me, i am 4 yrs younger to u but I KNOW HOW TO KNOT A TIE!! hehehe!!
and watz wit the slander abt ganguly??? :O
and to learn to knot a tie...someone's gotta teach you. frankly, they'd tear their hair out trying to do just tat! :D :D
Chances of spotting u with a terribly knotted tie, is very bleak... now that ganguly is chucked out...
And S why exactly did u learn to knot a tie?
@sagaro:
well...just a fancy...i practiced knotting my dad's tie.. :D
S:
My tie was knotted by another friend.. I know how it works. Just that I mess it up 9.99 times out of ten. Don't ask me what about the remaining 0.01 times. Its just that I don't like to give absolute values for anything.
Sagaro:
Saurav will be back! You just wait!
abhi...u hopeless...admit it this once!! :D
and i kno (frm personal experience) how capable u are of producing exact figures and statistic wen it suits u!! :))
S:
I knotted the tie today!
so yay! i am not useless!!
me no accept unless i see myself!! :D
*strangles you with your tie*
@hamsini:
very noble intentions indeed!! i salute you!
why though??!
lolz!! i'm wit u on this one.. most designers create weird stuff n expect us to pay shitloads for it..n comin to ganguly, he plays very well n scores century wit the same frequency as u choose to be modest!! :D cheers mate!
S:
you shall!! Some day!
Hamsini:
WHY??
Dooby:
Designer job is basically tailoring job:-P
And i shall choose to ignore your last line!
Abhi:
Is true, what you said regarding ties. The other day I shelled out $50 for a plain silver one. *Sigh* that is 10 Grande Gingerbread Lattes that I didn't drink.
And anyway, let me express Preety's theory of Expensivity:
Cost ($) of outfit = 1 / Size of Outfit (inches)
Ever wonder what women pay for unmentionables? In the range of $25- $50 - just for two triangles and a string!
