Fashion clubIs fashion a chameleon or a magical pretence? How it evolves! Another form; the following day it faces opposition! How many mutilations are there in clothes! How much work for scissors! How much load for the washer man! How many affected gestures in behaviour! How much make-up on the face! How much torture for the moustache and hairdo! How many looks in the mirror; how many twists! Shaving of the face and the newspaper stand for morning and evening prayers; coffee or tea for sipping of water while uttering mantras; gossiping for self-enquiry and Brahma Bhadra fire sacrifice – the five sacrifices take place in high fashion mode! Getting up at 4 a.m., bathing, reciting mantras and meditating to purify the mind, reading from scriptures, working hard and partaking of tasty and healthy food to satisfy hunger and living an austere life – all these have become outdated! The old traditions have become rare. The Kali Yuga has ripened, and love marriages have become the norm. It is of course necessary to follow the mores of the age; education and behaviour must be in tune with the times; but why attribute irregular acts that defile the body and mind to the prevailing fashion? “Cigar is bad, my son” says the father; “Dad, I know it is bad, that is why I burn and reduce it to ashes to avenge myself,” says the son. Why talk only about the son? Even girls have started to play out their independence on the stage of modern fashion. Editions ASSA, Christian Piaget
