Hi, div-ji. we never understood the difference; neither between shalwar kameez and kurta.

Anyways, first we are planing the egnagement, right?

Hello Nabi-ji......kameez is what we wear with salwar..............kurta is similar except for the fact that it can be worn with jeans, or with churidar. often with salwar-kameez, girls wear a chunni/ dupatta....with kurta, its often not worn....

oh ok, then this will be for the engagement, for the wedding, I will look for something stylish to wear then.....................it would be a traditional wedding, so maybe i will something really non-traditional

maybe something like this

well as most come using wavy robes and colourful stuff (with whatever names), I'll use this:

a good old Roman toga, of course then I've to be addressed "His Imperial Majesty"

ok, we could use a few lessons here on Indian fashion, Div...I guess the lehenga is the midriff baring blouse and the rest of the ensemble is a saree? Can we call this a lehenga-saree or am I so off?

..just make sure you cut your hair really short and grow a beard for the ceremony, dr H or we might mistake you for a beautiful caucasian wearing a simple, white, unadorned saree....may I have this dance? ..

my hair is short (but nice that you admit that I do have still hairs ), but no beard, why so anyway?
And it's a ceremonial toga with complicated and specified drapery...no chance for dances (luckily )

the beard would indicate your Y chromosome so you better grow some...and the togas are perfect for dancing and revelries. Didn't you say that the romans made the best bacchanalias and saturnalias ever? ...you're just a dancing bokbokbok...

pffftttt...noble Romans are clean-shaven and a toga is not a orgy dress, but la highly official dress. Every pleat has its exact place. For bacchanalias and saturnalias you wear a tunic or better nothing
and I'm not a dancing whatever but a well-known dance partner's feet stepper

but they wear nothing beneath that highly official dress, therefore- it's a potential orgy outfit.....you can't come to PI's wedding looking so pleated and official.....let me choose the best dress for you...trust me, I've got a very good taste and sense of style...
