A BLOUSY AFFAIR......




http://blog.blogadda.com/2013/11/09/spicy-saturday-picks-from-indian-blogs-november-9-2013

Studies have shown that 9 out of 10 women are certified blouse readers. Blouse reading is an ancient art of knowing the character and the psychology of a woman by carefully analyzing the pattern of the blouse she chooses to wear. It is an art exercised and promoted only by those belonging to the kingdom of muliebrity and done rightfully so because the trend of Indian men wearing a blouse or a saree  is not yet in practise.

Blouse readers can be found everywhere and are not constrained to a particular age group. Though known to be carrying out their profession individually, they can be found to be collectively practising their gift and expanding their domain at public get-togethers like weddings, kitty parties, ladies sangeet, anniversary bash, spinster party and even baby showers. The key difference between a blouse reader and a palm or face reader is the fact that in the former, the person whose character is being read out has no idea that she is being given a reading free of cost.  Hence, studies have shown that this art is practised for personal amusement and also used as a tool among the feline part of the human race to bond more effectively. 

Yesterday Mrs. Sunita attended Mrs. Kukreja’s 25th Anniversary bash wearing a blouse with hooks on the back, breaking the conventional norms of having hooks in the front. This act of displaying the hooks instead of conservatively covering it up with the Saree Pallu was noticed by the many veteran blouse readers including Mrs.Kukreja, who later that evening told her maid that she felt that Mrs.Sunita was being a cougar who wanted to entice the men in the party with her public display of the hooks. The maid being an incompetent blouse reader could only nod in the affirmative.

You have to be privileged to deserve a blouse reading since it is not for everyone. The conventional ‘U’ neck, medium sleeved blouse that you wore for Mrs.Chadda’s kitty party acted like the invisible robe that Harry Potter wore during his voyeuristic nights. You need to have some guts and you need to have some self confidence to deserve a free reading. Why do you think the veteran blouse reader at your home i.e your mother pointed a finger at Priyanka Chopra and said “What is she trying to be? The maths symbol for percentage (%)?” as the woman danced to the tune of ‘Desi Girl’ with the saree pallu dividing her chest into half, while her sleeveless blouse displayed her toned arms and her well endowed everything else.

It all started back in the age of sage Vishvamitra who sat for a severe penance, while Menaka a beautiful celestial nymph tried to break his Tapasya with her backless and sleeveless blouse. On watching her so do, the other Apsaras called her a ‘Loose Girl’ and moved their head from right to left with a disgruntled look on their face. It is they who became the Godmothers of Blouse reading and since then, the art has thrived on the bosoms of the confident ladies who took it as their job to promote this secret art by wearing airy blouses at every opportunity they got.

A puffed sleeve means that you are trying to camouflage your skinny hands that resemble chicken legs. A 3/4th sleeve means you have gigantic arms that you are trying to hide beneath all that cloth. A backless blouse makes the women weep for your parents, while a sleeveless armpit showing blouse points towards your bad upbringing.  A deep back neck with a thread knot in the middle questions your culture while a short blouse that ends an inch below your ample bosom screams about your ugly character. Your blouse style has nothing to do with fashion but everything to do with your moral code of conduct. Your blouse design has nothing to do with your confidence but everything to do with your shamelessness. Your deep neck has nothing to do with the fact that you can carry it off beautifully, but everything to do with your loose character. It is not just a blouse but your armour of righteousness. Your blouse defines your worth.

A woman is a woman’s arch nemesis. While all the men flock together sharing beer and getting fat, women too flock together but with their knives pointed towards the next one’s back. It is time we saw a woman outside the blouse she chooses to wear (pun intended).

Also it is time that I stop writing about such a blousy affair.

P.S- If you are wondering why I wrote about a blouse, even I am wondering the same. Let us wonder together.

  12. Haha I love you for writing this...and so true about blouse readers ! I also read women from their blouses and if there are hooks at the back and the cut is low I count them as fashionable not loose ;-) Oh and I think sleeveless blouses are for skinny women with toned arms...otherwise it may not look that good ! Perceptions !

  22. Yup I admit I am a blouse reader too, not that I knew it before reading this amazing post. One can always tell a woman's fashion sense by her blouse. And not just women, men are blouse readers too.
    Infact my hubby says when I saw you in a deep low back blouse in our ring ceremony, I was thankful, my fiancée is fashionable. ( mine was arranged marriage)

  25. Oh, the blouse!! I would live to wear all kinds of skimpy blouses. But I wear saree only in weddings. And who wants to give women fodder for gossip. So I stick to 'sweetheart' cut with short sleeves ;)

    1. I have a wedding coming up and I have decided to test my observation by wearing a boat neck full sleeve blouse :P

  26. I think there is some truth in this (blouse reading) For that matter I keep reading people by the way they dress and how they are able to carry it off. The best and the easiest way is "the footwear" One can make a fairly good assessment of a person by the footwear that he/she wears. And if it is an open footwear then look at the feet. ...... well I think I am deviating from the main subject....... let me see .... maybe I can write a blog post on this.

  34. Whichever the kind, blouse looks great on any woman. And to be frank, I'd prefer seeing those so called shameless designs on a woman.
    "It's high time we saw a woman outside the blouse she chooses to wear."
    That yet another thing we guys tell each other when we flock together sharing a beer and getting fat. :)
