Nobody can call me a fashion plate. I am less bothered about my clothes being colour co-ordinated than Dubya is by world opinion. My method of choosing clothes to wear is simple- I open the cupboard, and take whichever item is at top of the respective stack.
But I do like plain T-shirts, which you can paint your own messages on to.
Not only are T-shirt messages the distilled wisdom of the world, they also provide advertising. The prospect of increasing hits to my site by walking around with www.aadisht.net across my chest is one that appeals to me. So, getting fresh T-shirts, fabric paints and brushes is a priority right now.
There’s a permanent seconds and export rejects sale on near college, and I visited it yesterday to see if they had anything in the way of plain T-shirts. They didn’t.
What they did have were lots and lots of preprinted T-shirts. Very cheap, but alas, providing no reasonable scope for customisation. Sad, but true.
However, they also had a grey T-shirt and bermuda combo for 125 rupees. While I wasn’t really planning to buy bermudas- let’s face it, they are never unwelcome.
So, once I reach home for the long Baisakhi weekend it’s time to go to the Sarojini Nagar market and comparison shop. I will investigate the relative prices of T-shirts (with or without attached bermudas) in Delhi and in Patiala, and obtain instructions from my mum on how to analyse their quality. And then I’ll buy them wherever they are cheaper and better.
Anybody who wants to suggest T-shirt messages other than www.aadisht.net, do mail them or post as a comment.
