Hey Sitara, I don't have a problem if u have a different view or are different than most of the fashionable girls......infact it's a choice right? Whether I want to be fashionable while I am young or not! On your sari comment, are u sure everybody likes to wear sari? Yeah they might get used to it....but I bet it's not necessarily the most comfortable when it's extremely hot outside.....or may be u might need to run sometimes to catch a bus......I don't believe it's the most comfortable. It might work in Nepal but not in US. Yeah I agree someone can look graceful but not comfortable at times. Somebody commented on me.......stop copying white girls in USA......what am I supposed to wear in USA? Go to work in a sari, kurtha.......!! exhibit Nepaliness that way? or should I be coy, conservative and reallly nice...that's doesn't work here.....people will walk all over u! Instead I have to be forward, get my opinions out there, active etc. Well, wearing pants shows a figure more but it's not vulgar. If u have a nice body actually it emphasizes it instead of hiding. There are all types of pants for different shapes and sizes..... if u know where to look....one thing is for sure it's wayyyy more comfortable. Minis might not look elegant but it's hip when we are young. I will try to be elegant when I reach 35 and I have tons of fats to hide. But for now I want to enjoy my youth. Why everybody thinks that copying white girls.is ...only external things....how about internal things......how about their independence, making their own decisions on life, career, partners....we have to learn a lot from them (how many times do I have to repeat this phrase?). That doesn't make me less nepali. I am in no way trying to be a white girl infact I can never be one. But what I try to get is to learn their good qualities and still keep my good qualities from my roots. I used to wear minis even in Nepal so what's wrong with that! Should I wait for u to stamp me as a good girl unless I walk around in US in sari? Wait why only nepali women? How come nepali men can wear western clothes and has no comments on them.....shouldn't they be wearing topi and daura suruwal if women were to wear sari? Women should have the independence to choose to what she likes to wear and not be judged upon. like nepali society does! It's impossible for women to break these societal boundaries........if u still think they don't need to change into something comfortable! My main concern is about why people think fashion forward people are fools, their brain is still the same isn't it?
