Purani Jeans to formals!

 

On a random cloudy day, both the jeans and formals are hanging side by side, behind the door on the door hooks. It's been days since jeans are hanging in there and getting bored so she thought she should talk to her contemporary formals who are quite busy these days. That's when they strike a conversation:

 

Purani Jeans: Heyy, how are you, dear formal pants ?

 

Formals: Earlier I used to say I was better than you, saved for special days and occasions, but today I am really sorry for all that boasting, I am just too tired now.

 

Purani Jeans: Common, now I have got your status of being used for special occasions and rest of the time I am just resting, and trust me it's so boring.

 

Formals: What boring, given a chance I would happily go back to last year and chill in the cupboard forever.

 

Purani Jeans: And I am completely bored of being in the cupboard, it's so dark and dull in there, in fact I even hate being hanged here for too long, but at least there is a hope that she will wear me again soon before I meet my friend washing machine followed by the drying stand, I rarely meet them these days.

 

Formals: I meet them quite often now, they are really good and you know that they too miss you a lot and always keep telling me old anecdotes.

 

Purani Jeans: Ohh now I miss them more. By the way how is she these days?

 

Formals: She is always hustling. Anxious about the monthly targets and daily goals. Earlier when she wore me, she used to click so many pictures and used to be so confident and fully energized. Now she doesn't click any pictures nor is she more confident and neither energized at all!

 

Purani Jeans: It seems like I don't know this girl anymore. She was so full of life, in fact she loved life to her fullest. I remember her good old college days, when she tried me with her crop tops, tank tops, kurtis and T shirts. She had a colorful wardrobe, of all her jeans I was her favorite one. Her first day at college was one of my most memorable days with her. She made new friends, talked a lot, partied with her new gang and everyone praised her for her on point fashion sense. What was your most memorable day with her?

 

Formals: Well, definitely not the first day of office, but the day of her placements. I remember she was very nervous that day, continuously going through her notes and preparing. Then she sat for all the three rounds of placements. She was a little more nervous for every next round. But she faced it all with confidence and dedication and finally made it to the selected candidate list. She jumped in joy, I was so happy for her, little did I know this very job will take away all the peace, happiness and her beautiful smile from her. But I just hope that she remains healthy after all the mental and physical stress that she goes through.

 

Purani Jeans: Yes you are right she has to remain fit otherwise both of us will be out of use for her and then we will miss washing machine, drying rack, and most importantly we will miss her and each other!

 

Formals: Yes you are right. I am sure she will settle in here as well, colors will definitely come back to her life, but it will take time. Until then let's stick with her through thick and thin.

 

And then suddenly she comes and picks up the formals, Purani jeans waves goodbye to formals, they say to each other," See you soon"

 

Happy Reading,

 

Until next time,
