Uma, being unavailable even today, (must be busy with marital relationships and commitments !) , could not be discussed with. So, I thought I'll make my comments on last day's comments from the "Anonymous madam'.
Thank you for appreciating the revelation on 'knots'. The pictures were useful. I am happy about my contribution. Lat me make simple sentences .....
Do not use pins at all. It's not safe and secure.
Wearing thaar while sleeping ... well... I think you should wear it a bit loose. Don't be too tight while on the bed, for physical reasons.
While at work, it's good to have it tight. The knot would prevent any loosening or coming off. I know ladies wearing this while doing Yoga, which involves a lot of stretching out.
Venturing to office ... Yes it's the best undergarment ! Many ladies hesitate to wear it, on fear of loosening or the vaal coming off. The two knots guards them all.
As you rightly said, the pin could spoil the mundu. It's a bit inconvienient to open. The knot, though difficult to remove in normal standing posture, is easy to open with your legs a bit spread and a bit kneeling.
"The naughtiest problem" is solved thro' a simple knot ? ! Yes Madam, ther's a simple solution to every tough problem. It's upto you, to think... ask others.. share the knowledge .. and that's it.
In this context, I remember how my Grand Mother was doing with knots (4 , if remember right !) on her bodice for comfort and to trim the shape of her boobs. None of the modern day bra could do that !!
" I wonder how many women are aware of this! " - Yeah...but many women knew it.. and they were doing this way. At the same time, I've seen many women taking the trouble of tightening up their thaar frequently ... seeking corners of the house or elsewhere they go.
"How many are wearing this wonderful apparel these days! " ... not many. It's still there in central and north Kerala, atleast in some families. But the practice is dying down !
"Onnara-wearers to be slowly extinct like the lion-tailed monkeys of silent valley." ... that's an interesting comment.
Nair community is losing all their wealth... including the valuable traditions. I know Nair girls who are totally ignorant about Onnara. No one taught them and they all went behind the western culture (as we all do in most of our matters).
"Tomorrow's fashion is yesterday's Tradition"... Yes this idea would work out. But ... I have my doubts ! However, I wish Onnara become fashionable tomorrow, also taking into account its invaluable benefits.
"Search Assist ON, the moment I type ONNAR in the Yahoo search, it reveals so much topic in this subject including "how to wear onnaramundu". This was a surprise to me ..." . ?? But I don't find much material about Thaar, when tried through Google searches ! Please send me those links, if you can. I'll retry.
"HOT TOPICS on your pages which, I believe, most women won't enjoy like males and this will cause loss of traffic to your site. Hence my adivise is, devote a serious blog on this subject ... " . Yeah you are right... I had given a few hot topics ... there's a point. I don't like to put a useless excuse here. I am thinking seriously .... on modifying. Kindly wait for a couple of days .
{ Madam, as you may note, this blog is on my relationship with my "friend" Uma. She's the driving force behind what I write. Infact, she drives me ... She used to enjoy the stuff... and my stories...}
"Who knows, one day, some western woman can take fascination on this attire and popularise it; perhaps, they will even grab a patent for this and sell the idea to us as it happens always. Or some tennis champions like WILLIAMS sisters may wear this under their short skirt and then it may catch like wild-fire even among our fashion-conscious ladies." ... Oh... that's agreat idea, Mam...
I can see Serena fighting Venus at Wimbledon... Oh... their skirt flying up ... yeah... it's thaar.. inside... the greatest of all greatest garments...!
