Re: are our elders more stylish?
my dad is the same. gets up early every morning and makes sure everyone else does too. he's dressed up as if he's going to work everyday and demands everyone sit at the breakfast table at the same time. i wouldnt call it stylish...but definitely more "proper". It is true that once u're dressed for success you are much more productive that you are in your PJs.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
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?
This is a trait of a Fraudia or soon to be a democrat... :)
Re: are our elders more stylish?
i think he got obamafied.
Re: are our elders more stylish?

Re: are our elders more stylish?
Kaleem, why are you breaking people’s heart here? Obama and Edwards in '08 baby!!! 
Re: are our elders more stylish?
Hillary is too strong and has good team for raising money. she'll pull it off, not gonna win but she'll be nominated from dem's side.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
Allah sey daro mian… You have lost your mind.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
I wish I had....Obama will beat Guliani in '08.
Back to topic, my elders were not stylish. They were very simple with their oufit. I think as one becomes old, he/she gets tangled up in so many reponsiblities that personal looks are the last thing to think about.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
He may beat Guliani, if he can get out of dems primaries... which he will not. Besides, no one is beating McCain. Rock on, my man
Re: are our elders more stylish?
McCain nay kiya hai bhai...that over 50% of America will vote for him?
Re: are our elders more stylish?
McCain will have hard time, remember what those boat ads did to Kerry, those are the same guy who ran ads against McCain in repub. primaries, when he was against bush. also the anti war sentiment is high and McCain is pro war, it might hurt him, i would like to see him win but i dont think he'll make it out. i think newt with the southern support might pull it off, and he has a dark side, so at the end it will be Hillary and edwards in 08
Re: are our elders more stylish?
what is a trait of a Fraudia or soon be to be a democrat? lets not be vague here 
as for myself, I am niether a democrat nor a republican, I will support whoever makes sense. and it may mean one time is one group next time its another.
After all, I think back in 2000, the event I hosted raised a few hundred thousand dollars for The bush campaign. dunno how much you raised bing a diehard republican and all you know.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
I think I may have used the term stylish incorrectly, maybe I should have used ‘proper’ instead. Simple clothes, but always dressed properly.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
Do you think when you get old, you will care about your dress or looks? Would it be personal or because of exposure in communities and parties?
Re: are our elders more stylish?
when i get old? yar I am already old. I care about my appearance (clothing and grooming), I think that i got from my dad who is known as a very well dressed person. the difference is that in my private time I am a bum compared to him. I would pull up a pair of jeans and toss on a tshirt or a polo shirt, but thats about it.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
My dad is the same, I took him to the cinema's a couple of weeks ago and he insisted on wearing a suit! Managed to bribe him out of that one with the offer of a kebab after the film but he still wore the suit jacket and spayed on what smelt to be a whole bottle of some stinky Arab perfume.
And to think the man was born and bred in the UK.
I tell you, Pakis in the UK are more Paki than the Paki's in Pakistan.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
I may not be into grooming when I am in my early 40's but definatly take care of health. Try not to gain weight, eat less sugar and definatly definatly take care of heart problems coz with guys...here it comes and other moment you are gone.
Re: are our elders more stylish?
My dad is exactly the opposite of yours, unless he's working he wears Shalwar Kameez and no matter how many times in a day my mum irons it for him it always ends up creased (don't blame him, SK is impractical), my mum's always telling him off for that but he just says "quit fussing woman, this is how I feel comfy". Mom looks after herself though, I guess all women do.
My grandad (may Allaah bless him with Jannat Al-Firdaus) however always looked after himself, all the way from his youth till his old age.. Very metrosexual (supporting the latest fashions/trends, and he was very handsome too with high cheek bones, sparkling blue eyes, fair hair) in his youth and stylish in his old age (even his rosary had to match the color of his Shalwar Kameez).
Re: are our elders more stylish?
err sorry miss, your dad does not seem to be the same.
That whole insisting on a suit part and bathing with some perfume, that is not what being stylish or proper is which i was referring to.
its about being proper in public and private settings.
