I was seated inside my office when the security guard opened
the door, looked at me and started walking forward towards me and said “Sir,
this is not allowed.”
My only argument was that I was going to leave in two
hours so it should be ok. The guard won’t budge and I ended up changing my
three-fourth and out came in denim trouser.
This happened when I was going to leave for Lonavala
Apparently guys are not allowed to wear knee length trousers even though girls
can get away wearing knee length or even shorter skirts even on a formal day
wear. Apparently they can also get away wearing causal looking clothes and
claiming they are formals.
I happened pose this question to the bunch of boys of why
we are not allowed to wear shorts when girls can get away with it. Seemed like
a valid point/question.
“Maybe because of the hair” One replied. I looked at my
legs again and wondered were the hair on my legs grower bigger than the hair on
my head. Yes, I was wearing three fourth that day and it was our unofficial cricket
tournament.
Seriously, I wondered hair on legs? I thought having hair
on your body was supposed to be a sign of your manhood. Not going to say excessive
hair like on Anil Kapoor’s chest. Maybe he is the closest descendant of our
ancestors.
Am I supposed to wax my hair now? Will the corporate world
would make it a rule that if a man wish to wear knee length trouser, their hair
should be waxed. It just made me imagine and yes I screamed when the strip was
pulled up from my leg.
Girls are the ones who are supposed to do that to look
pretty, not the guys.
Then again in this age of metro sexuality, I have seen
guys caring facials creams in the washroom. Friends wondering if they should
play in the heat as it will make them go darker. Heard stories of guys hair removal techniques and do at
home bikni waxes too.
My next question is, where have the men gone?
That will be another topic. For now I feel discriminated that
as men we are not allowed to wear shorts to office. What happened to the law of
equality which is tilted towards the fairer sex :P
The women in the office can only get delighted that we
will be their piece of object whom they can check out. Not that we don’t when
they wear skirts.
It will be a win-win situation JJJ
Any one there for taking up this cause with the corporate
world?
P.S.: This one was long over-due and I am so glad I was
able to write on it.
