Purani Jeans (Old Jeans)



Last night I was rearranging my wardrobe.you may ask why ? Because it is every woman's favourite pass time and also because I had ransacked my wardrobe to find a denim shorts and i was unsuccessful to find them.
I decided to rush to the movie, The Great Gatsby and tidy up later when I am back home. So here I am tidying up my wardrobe and folding away different types of pants, trouser or the likes of it. I glanced upon an old pair of jeans, and lot of memories came rushing to my mind. I had almost forgot about this jeans and when i lifted it to fold it and put it away, the very touch of it sent me back into the times I used them regularly.
I used them so often and even today the softness was intact, the color, the feel everything same. I wished more and more things in our life remained the same for a longer time but Sigh !!
I always take pride in a very good old pair of jeans, even though their cut and fit are out of date or not in style anymore, common who are we kidding they were comfortable, they key factor in Style.
You may ask why I am so attached to a old pair of jeans and pushed me into writing about it. Well the life changing movie i saw last night, The Great Gatsby, I learned a lesson for life, when your thoughts don't let you sleep, wake up and write away to glory.
So I decide to pen my thoughts to rest. It symbolised loyalty for me, this very pair of jeans. 2 years ago, a certain cousin M mocked me for overusing them and even wearing them to sleep. I had wished that moment to tell him that I felt cold in london winter and could not afford to buy warm clothes, but all I could manage to say is, They are comfortable !
Such is irony of life, I now stand in front of my wardrobe every night staring at a stack of warm clothes, deciding which one to wear ! And that very cousin M wears same clothes everyday to sleep and travels and lives out of a rented van to make a living.
Not that i wished any bad upon him, only observed it last night. We often belittle people and not realise Karma will strike back at us one day and undo all the hurt caused. Yes the hurt caused is now undone and am free of any pent up emotions against anyone, because Life has been beautiful so far and God has been very kind to me.
