The draping life.


Finding your place in life = finding a perfect dress.

You want something that should accentuate your features and (almost) hide your flaws. Something that fits, allows your free spirit to explore and explode (in a non-destructive way) and looks killer too.

So, you look around and see plenty of these, each one hanging like an illusion. But though you know that, any one of those expensive, alluring dresses could be the one for you; you have to remember that you can't go over-budget..and so you settle for something less extra-ordinary. And keep reminding yourself to be happy with your choice.

And then, sometimes when the day doesn't go that well, like some plane just crashed at your door step.. you go wild shopping.. trying out bizarre stuff.. fitting into things that aren't meant for you.. some are too big for you, you feel lost and inadequate.. some too small, selling yourself short this time.. some too wacky, some too dull..you spend almost a lifetime telling yourself, you looked good into those ill-fitting dresses; until you find the one that belonged to you.

What you see, is so beautiful and complements you so well, that you can't imagine how you lived without it all these years.. You feel right wearing it, its not tight or loose, its not gaudy nor plain, its doesn't make you look fat or short or clumsy or weird, its in your budget; it always was but was hidden from you behind the expensive display dresses.. its the perfect dress. its the perfect life.
