imagine an office where men wear not only good clean shirts and polished shoes, but also ties perfectly knotted (well, almost perfectly) and upto the adams apple, not to forget the shiny bright cufflinks! (i mean... cufflinks?) every single day to work. some of the top brass wear coat to work <I>every single day </i>. i shiver to think of their room temperatures. because im sure they have special AC apart from the central (good) air conditioning. i mean, dark suits are OK, but even linen two layers is a little too impractical for India. bankers are crazy. now to the women. middle aged ones are wierd. they range from immaculately dressed sari clad women who are classy (like the economics head), to those not forgetting their gold and silver eye shadows and small party purse dangling from the fore-arm. short hair for all, and lots of eye make-up. oh i mentioned that already, dint i? the younger women seem the more normal ones. secretaries ill discount. generally trousers seem to be the trend with maharashtrians at lower level wearing typical suits. HR women are the wierdest lot. i sit somewhere where i can see them pretty clearly. apart from spending 50% of the time talking about clothes and movies and water bottles and makeup, they are always hassled and harried...if you give them work. dressing? right from casual knit tops with trousers to salwar kameezes. the PR girl who sits near me ranges from kurtis with trousers/ jeans to salwar kameezes. there are some of course in the whole building who conviniently remove their dupattas from decently fitting salwar kameezes and drape them on their chairs like coats, for the whole day, while they are away from their seats. pretty contrasting between the men and women eh? interesting.
