I always used to wonder why do i not have any female readers except a few. An author, who's work i greatly admire pointed out that "it is eminently titillating". I did not want this blog to be an extension of Nancy Friday (with due respect to her). And thus i bid farewell to all those who have supported and cheered here.
I will be deleting the post maybe in a few days.....still can't muster the strength.
All the regulars... i know you guys personally well enough to not need this blog to communicate. I can always spam your comments box.
Thank you. Goodnight and goodbye.

What is lingerie... to me?
Over a period of time i have realised that men and women both think of lingerie as a just another piece of clothing. This scares the living daylights out of me, coz for me its more much more.
A bra is just not cotton and some elastic to help breasts fight gravity. Its like a lover. I remember the first time was asked to put one on. Till the time a girl actually has to start wearing, there is this thought in mind --- how will it be? How does it feel... is it too tight? Is it cloistering? Will it keep me warm?The initial days are like a honeymoon.. the newly acquired gate pass to womanhood. And then like most relationships, it gets taxing and demanding. Some days one feels like leaving the bra stacked up in a corner and to just be free..let the tender skin breath..feel the bounce. But, by then you are so used to support that the sudden freedom is tough to enjoy.
Like a lover, the bra holds me, soft and tender with a gentle pressure. With my breathing its rubs or sooths the sensitive skin. Like a lover, you take up the wrong one and it leaves a dirty scar on you.
I have to write on this and i want to... but i cant. I blame him, and the way in which its put..damn. This post is stuck in my head and rousing my demons. I had promised myself that this will not be my corner and please kick me if i ever do. But right now i just cant think. I shall complete the post soon. So long.
Update: I thought i was at my worst.. till i read this. If i ever get around to talking to this man, I sure as hell will scream like Janice (friends fame) in his ears... no make that laugh like her.

Whew!!!
Whew! Today i undertook the gargantuan task of cleaning my Lingerie shelf. Tough job i must say. I was amazed to some of the contents and irritated with a few others.
In the entire process i realised a few things
1. Lovable should bring down the quality of the product if they want to survive in the Indian market. I still have a lovable, my first lovable bought on March 23, 2001 from a store called Red Rose in Vashi. I mean i always thought that i had thrown it, but no there it was, soft and gazing at me like a long lost lover. I was in the last sem of my mba. My aunt had introduced me to the pleasures of lingerie. On my birthday she had bought me a Juliet number trimmed with lace and another item by i forget who. I did not like the second one much and thus went and got the lovable. It has lasted for over six years and the cloth is still as soft. I bought my second lovable in july 2001 from my first salary. I can never forget the kick i got that day and at times i still get when i put on a piece that I had been eyeing for sometime.
2. A delicate bra wrapped in tissue paper stays good for long. I had a pink coloured triumph made of delicate lace and this straps. Like all the other good bras that are not part of daily circulation, this was bundled in tissue paper and boy did it feel good or what.
3. I Use things carefully and thus end up not using them at all. Coming from a modest background, buying an expensive bra which ranges above the average couple of thousands needs to be treated rather with care. I had bought this most amazing black baclconette in sheer tissue fabric with red roses embroidered on it. made by a french designer, i bought it from a lingerie boutique in bandra. After having paid a bomb (ol man still thinks is a bomb.) i kept it carefully and now i realise, to my chargin, that i have rarely worn it. I think its time to bring it out more often.
It's late in the night and i can't remember more... Maybe i shall post a few more things tomorrow. So long.......

Play safe as mercy drops fall all around us....
I was sitting in the car as the rain drummed hard on the roof of the car. And from somewhere a girl came and stood at the bus stop about a 10 meters from the car. When i saw her i realised what a spectacle she had made of herself standing in the sheer kurta and the rain plastering it to her.
I, of all the people on planet earth, am not against a bra showing. Whats the big deal? But then the rules are simple it has to be a good bra and the seeing has to be natural and not a desperate attempt to attract attention. But having said that, i think in rains it makes sense to be careful. Some tips that could be used :
1. Try and wear a slip or a camisole under transparent top.
2. Avoid very fine lace under diaphanous clothes.
3. Always and always wear light, neutral tones or nude colours under light coloured clothes.
4. Avoid padded bras, they take a long time to dry in case you get wet on your way to work or college. Instead used under wired bras.
5. Keep and extra pair of underwear in your bag.
6. Buy some extra pairs and keep. Since drying takes longer, spares help. Wearing slightly wet bras cause major irritation and leave dirty elastic marks .
7. Please wash all new coloured lingerie before u wear it. Just in case it bleeds. And one should always wash new lingerie as stores these days allow trials.
On that note...happy monsoons.

Punishment Writing
Well last time i did a tag and this time i am writing a note as a punishment for a lost argument. Yeah yeah even Alexander lost ones in a while and so did i. Now lets not get into the gory details of what that argument was all about (it was not about Bras, so we can safely skip) but the outcome is this post.
I have already agreed to not using words such as perv, dork, observant, drug peddler and a few more... so ... just assume them. OK?
I lost this argument to one of the most intelligent and humorous men i have ever had the pleasure to meet. His seriousness span is not more than 2 seconds and still he says the gravest of things and passes them as humour. Elephant like ears and shining bright eyes make him look like a good example of the human species. He has this capacity to make anyone feel special (yeah actually and he does that for free. Want contact numbers ? kindly leave the request in comments). He will laugh at himself to ensure u smile and your worries are gone.
OK, i had to say a few good things so i did. Now am free to bitch ...
You dog !!! Next time when you lose am gonna make you write a 1000 word essay on my good looks as a punishment..(you see this would demand a lot to imagination and hard work coz there is nothing to write about. )
But, as always, thanks YOU!
