The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me is You

Love Of My Life

Fashion? Who decides it? How does it have on and off seasons? There are none for cricket. And for a man who loathes expensive clothing and derides who invest in them, there is a certain irony about it all.

My wife of all people is a fashionista herself. Not that she ever foresaw herself as one. She’s a computer engineer like all of us engineers in our family. But there was always a twinkle in her eyes for colors and style. She would somehow know the current “IN” colors six months ago. She’s a stylist, a concept designer and works with a decent boutique.

Ritika – you are the only one I think about when I hear the word – Fashion.

I am and was a sham when it came to clothing. I look like a bum every time, no matter how  hard I try to improve. When it comes to clothing, sadly there was never a statement nor will be.

But as a Mr. Bryan Adams will say – “The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me is You!”. You are my fashion statement!

Here’s the song for you –
