Showing Off His Stripes

The simplicity of Prime Minister Modi's tastes as revealed by deliberately cutting the lower half of sleeves off his kurtas, is much talked about.  Again, one of the many aspects of Narendra Modi's life that have left deep impression on peoples' mind is his claim of having walked away from the hubbub of normal life and having spent two years in isolation in Himalayas.  Saints are said to do so with the intention of ridding themselves of their egos and worldly attachments.  People with such inclinations wear clothes merely to cover their bodies and not to adorn them.  Some of them don't wear clothes at all.  Some wear clothes with God's names printed all over it.

Thus It would seem that a person like Modi would be very unlikely to behave like Hosni Mubarak who used to have his name form the stripes on his suits.  But news channels are showing closeups to support the claim that he did.

Now, I don't know who made the suiting for our dear Namo.  I would like to hazard a guess that it might have been made by Vimal, Reliance's fabric division.  It is also possible that the cloth was made for devotees to wear like a Ramnami cloth but somehow made its way to NaMo's wardrobe.

Whatever be the case it has gained huge popularity.  Reliance will do well to encash this publicity.  They may do so by weaving such legends in their pinstripes as "I Love Namo!", "A Silly Citizen", "Citizens for NaMo" etcetera etcetera.  You may suggest more such legends directly to Reliance.  The best suggestion might win a pinstriped 'legendary' suit.
