Between the Lines

Being free!

There’s something about freedom that liberates the mind, body and soul. It gives wings to fly and breaks the norms of society in what we want to do without being judged or lectured to us what is right or wrong, unless of course you are hurting someone’s sentiments or finding ways to screw with the government – then of course you should definitely think twice.

The sense of freedom definitely stems from the mind, and if the body can act on where the mind takes it, the opportunities are endless.

As serious as this introduction has probably led the reader to think that this is going to be a serious topic, nah! …remember its the extraaa serving that’s dished out here, not the main course… so expect me to keep it light and ticklish if possible, maybe shift around a few thoughts to a more lighter space, after all its about freeing the mind and body at the end of the day. Nobody wants to go through a day or sleep at night with a mind full of worries. A day comes with its set of anxieties but with nights, it brings along with it; freedom, a sense of tranquility and the quicker we send that message out to ourselves, the more comfortable we can get.

_{Pulling it up/down – the choice is yours!}

That brings me to my topic, which I’d begin with a question:

How layered with clothes are you while you sleep?

…as normal as this question is, you’d be surprised to know that the concept of wanting to go commando or nude all the way in bed, is still something people think twice about even in today’s day and age

It is all about being comfortable with your body, in a way letting it react to the stimulus around it or even otherwise, the sense of being in one’s birthday suit during hours at night, brings a whole new dimension to keeping the mind and body fresh, after all you wouldn’t want a tight bra (for a girl) eating into your skin for 8 hours into the sunrise or for that matter a dearly loved underwear that you don’t want to let go even at the expense of comfort.

Have you recently ditched the inner layer?

It might have taken longer for guys to realise its importance, but that’s where the role of the female-friend works wonders. It’s a fact that girls tend to go commando far more that guys did back in the day, ‘ditching the bra’ after a long day’s work was and still is a common occurence and a wide known fact amongst women, and while we (the male species) truly do not mind that, it is more out of the fact that clothes tightly wrapped around the body is a curse to humanity.

I do no believe that clothes were ever meant to be tight, its sole purpose was to cover the body but for some reason, the inner layer has gotten tighter over time (perhaps to avoid too much movement) while people tend to opt for more loser fitting outfits on the outside. This has probably affected a change of thinking, wherein women have opted to either go commando or maybe resort to finer or thinner choices of underwear – namely thongs or gstrings. Of course guys do not have that particular luxury, but in an ever changing innerwear market around the world, a lot of options are now apparently available to cater to that as well. But that said, being in one’s birthday suit is considered to one of the most healthliest forms of body care, if only it wasn’t restricted to when the lights are switched off or in alone time.

What are my personal preferences? Well, either way looks promising – I guess it all depends on the situation alongwith comfort levels and ones peferences.

There’s of course the two opinions: love for the underwear v/s going commando. How one looks at the particular situation would solely depend on various factors, but that said; I would go ahead and say “ditch the underwear” for good.

Well known celebrities seem to endorse the fact that human beings are now willing to go into the public in a single layer of clothing, and while it will be always be debated if that is the way forward, nude photo shoots (Ranveer Singh) have already made its way into main stream media in India, and while running on the beachside bereft of a cloth on the body (Milind Soman) has also happened in our country, so what’s stopping you from trying it out? – maybe not in public, but most certainly in the comforts of your bedroom with the door latched tightly, though an early morning walk/run on the beach does sound like an inviting proposition as well… talk of being bold while more than half the world is still sleeping.
