Re: are our elders more stylish/proper?
My dad only looks like a bum when he is just really ill. otherwise even when he is unwell he would wear a clean, pressed kurta shalwaar, shower, shave etc. Moi on the other hand dont tough the razor friday thru sunday. If I am sick, I am passed out in Pjs and tshirts, and thats what I am wearing around the house. he is always very proper, if its not a suit, its a sport coat, or pressed, starched kurta shalwars. He is comfortable that way.
My uncle, who is retired, gets up every morning, gets dressed, has a proper breakfast, reads the paper, watches Tv, goes out for a walk. walk into his house at any time and he is dressed to go. aside from the most formal of events what he normally wears around is good enough for a meeting, a social event.
I dunno..maybe I will be that way. but just looking at my dad, his old pics, his mannerisms, his style sense. I all of a sudden feel like a total bum.
anyone else have the same experience?
YUP!!
right here!!! I completely completely relate to what you mean!!
They somehow have more energy to, dont they?
Do u ever think (or hope) that we the bum generation, will ever be like them?! I suspect its having children that does that to them. although on the other hand we are growing up/ grown up ...really now... in a time and some of our case, in a place, where nothing is sacred! you can tell your teacher to shut up and your dad to f' off! ofcourse we still can't which is great! but still.... i fear times have so drastically changed...i doubt our - bum generations ability to b like them!
on the other hand maybe they were never bums, maybe we will always be.......maybe its a personality thing
