Just btw, I did get married in an off-white kurta-pjama. Something like this http://bit.ly/1jKItEU Nobody complained. (If they did, I would have treated it as their problem, not mine.) I found it comfortable, simple and more in keeping with my approach to life. Would anyone have a problem with that? (Subsequently, I have gone about in a suit, but my approach is: avoidable.)…. We are revealing our bias in deciding what is 'right' and 'wrong'. This is as apt as someone else deciding whether Sikhs should be allowed to wear turbans, whether Muslim women ought to feel comfortable in burqas or not, and so on…. RESPONSE: I do not blame you Mr. Frederick; Dress Code is not taught to journalists. It is taught to professionals. (Mind you, not self acclaimed professionals!) Little wonder the Churches and temples had to step in to put up notices outside Churches and Temples all over the world as to what is appropriate dressing to enter them. Turban & Burqas are religious diktats and are only infringed upon for Safety or Security reasons. By the way Mr. Frederick, you could have worn a bush shirt, Khaki pants and sandals for your wedding. You would look like the present CM; ORYou could have imitated Karamchand instead of trying to imitate Hindi film stars. Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
