Murqa
Ever since Taj El-Din Hilaly spoke in defense of his sexual predator brethren there has been a lot of talk about burqas. But thinking about, I think men should wear burqas. There are actually a lot of benefits of wearing a burqa. Here is why:
May be I should start a new fashion trend.
- You don't have to shave regularly
- Your wife won't nag you saying "Didn't you wear the same shirt yesterday?"
- We all have been in situations when you dash into a store to pick up one thing and run into somebody you know. You have to be polite and stop and chat. If you wear burqa, you will go unnoticed.
- You don't have to put up a smiling face when a guy asks you, "Is it OK if I set the meeting at 5PM on Friday?". You can make whatever face you want as long as you keep your voice calm.
- If you smoke, burqa provides another layer of filtering
- When you are in a store and your wife wants you to buy something expensive, you can pretend not to be her husband and walk away
- You don't have to be all macho and say, "Oh, it's not chilly at all." You can wear a sweater and nobody will notice
- Nobody will know where you are looking. Just saying, not that you will check out girls or anything.
- "Dressing up" for dinner only involves wearing formal shoes (These events will be called "Black shoelace events")
- Host of excellent pick up lines like: "Hi, will you join me in my burqa?"
- (Don't talk about hair, Don't talk about hair ) There won't be any more bad hair days (Damn couldn't stop)
May be I should start a new fashion trend.

You can in fact slip the low-life in the next cubicle a tenner to attend the meeting for you!
That's it, I'm converting!

Oh has been used in Tamil films so many times that its almost stale. Entering "Ladies college" or "Ladies special buses" in a burka.
You don't have to put up a smiling face when a guy asks you, "Is it OK if I set the meeting at 5PM on Friday?". You can make whatever face you want as long as you keep your voice calm.

Funny as usual.. only, dont bother resisting the hair bit. We know you try and make up for the hair u dont have by talking abt the hair that u do have.. but seriously, a bad hair day for a man?
Btw, i need advice.. pls go to my blog and put comment! Thanks!

ha ha ha LOL as usual. well how wil we recognize our husband?
By Itchingtowrite, at Tue Oct 31, 11:14:00 AM 2006
LOL..but
1. your wife not nag for shirt but will nag for changing different burquas and styles for various occasions.
2.Dont know pretending not listening to wife will work. She will make u hear anyway.
on the positive side... you can lift your burqua like all those hindi movie actresses.
or
collide with a woman dropping all the books but what if turns out to be another man only...hahahaha

my dad and uncle once wore burqas and sneaked into my cousin's lady's sangeet and mehendi function... they got caught because my friend just looked at my dad's hand and recognised it after years of seeing it on the guitar... but i agree with all your reasons!

Let us all reform to unbias dress of the Burqa, No more prejudice towards the sex, race, culture, religion etc! FABULOUS! Just one problem! you're probing murqa terrorists...no more will passengers be paranoid about a turban wearing man....BEHOLD! it may be a murqa lurking under the innocent faceless mask of a black dress...mwahahaha....

"When you are in a store and your wife wants you to buy something expensive, you can pretend not to be her husband and walk away"
hey I was thinking about this "dangerous" situation(for women:-) and the my solution is that couples should wear matching burkas to avoid any confusion:-)
By mommyof2, at Wed Nov 01, 07:39:00 AM 2006

Your wife won't nag you saying "Didn't you wear the same shirt yesterday?"

Yashita:
wat will we girls do wen we go out
Hmm... didn't think of that. I assumed no girl would be interested in looking at guys :)
chandni:

Haha. You should come to our village and see the men brushing and chatting in the streets early mornings. Now that is the gorssest sight you can ever see.
Isha Reddy:
i choked on my honey roasted peanuts.
Were you on a flight when reading post? I assumed that is only place you can get honey roasted peanuts ;)
i even left a comment on your very first post
Can you give me your email address. I would like to send a personal thank you note
the burqa hides the beer belly excellently.. and no more pressure to work out :P
Not that we do feel any pressure as it is, but you are right, burqa would conveniently hide our rock hard bodies.
freespirit:
Ogling is not just a male prerogative!!!!
Really? May be I shouldn't assume no guy is ogled at just because nobody ogles at me :P

Yes, the problem is almost cracked. One still cant' wear the burqa at home you know :D

Ok. Ok, I get it. We occasionally have good hair days :)
OrangeJammies:
start a trend..but spare the hotties...
What do you mean by encouraging to wear one and then saying "spare the hotties", huh? grrr
itchingtowrite:

Yes, thats the whole advantage (for us)
Pallavi:
your wife not nag for shirt but will nag for changing different burquas and styles for various occasions.
Haha. No escape, huh :)
collide with a woman dropping all the books but what if turns out to be another man only...hahahaha
LOL. I was assuming that only men wear burqas. But if women wear too, ya, it will give rise to a lot of humor! For example, what if the whole song "mere mehaboob thuje, meri mohabbat ki kasam" is sung for a mistaken gender ;)
starry nights:
No more bad hair days.thats for sure.
Ya, I won't even have to comb my hair. Wait a minute.. i actually don't comb even now :D
Vani:
Hey, enough about hair already!! :-)

So women do think some times? Holy crap, I didn't say that. It was not me. Where is my burqa, where is my burqa!

Foodie's Hope:

LOL. You think so? May be I should have it in a cast :D
It's not air conditioned
ya! There you go, another patent idea. Air-conditioned burqas!
How do we know:
Any time :)
Life Lover:
wearing a burqa in California August heat
haha. Ya, I think people will cook inside. As Foodie was suggesting, we need to invent air-conditioned burqas!
But thinking about it, I dont know how those poor ladies who are forced to wear burqas in Afghanisthan, Iraq, Iran are wearing them in such heat!
thetalkativeman:
ttk saar, vhy are you saying bad bad things about me, saar? stop it, i say.
Man, I am no match for you! You perfected the art of desi English. By the way, did you check out the desi audibles on Yahoo! They are hilarious. There is one audible that talks like you did, "saar, vanakkam saar," and so on.
thanq 4 coming yaar. you keep coming na.
Pickled Olives:
How do they do in coldass temperatures?
I am guessing you meant to say "hotass" :) Ya, that surprises me too! Can you imagine people in Middle East wearing these things in such hot weather!

I just thought you might want to know - it's almost 6 on a Friday night, and I've been on a phone conference which doesn't seem like it will end any time soon since 4:30pm.
A mere burqa will not do - need a voice-mimicking + face-hiding thingie!
Thankfully this is Nah and not Nee - this would have driven her over the edge.
By Nee, at Fri Nov 03, 09:58:00 AM 2006
If this fatwa applies to Indian actors, Imran Hashmi would be in big trouble and Himesh will not need his cap.
One more advantage would be that you will not need any hanky after you sneeze.
By Aashun, at Fri Nov 03, 12:17:00 PM 2006
No, I am thinking what it would be like to wear one here in Connecticut. It gets VERY cold (i.e.: coldass)here in New England. Is it worn Under or over coats and gloves and hats? Sorry to sound so curious, but your post provides advantages, and i think if it protects you from frigid temps, that is a great reason to wear one!
By Pickled Olives, at Fri Nov 03, 04:07:00 PM 2006
Pickled Olives:
Now I got it. I am generally not this slow ;)
You know, if one wears a burqa and then wears a long coat, it will look quite funny! It will look like they are just wearing a mask because we can't see rest of the burqa. It could scare the hell out of the store clerks, airport security etc. :D
By Twisted DNA, at Fri Nov 03, 04:11:00 PM 2006

the funny thing is i know of guys in KSA who wear burqas and pretend to be a "friend" of their girlfrnd's so the dad won't bother them. or chase the guy outta the house.
