“He can spin the earth with just a thought!
If you challenge him then you are a crackpot!
He can change the colour of the sky to black from blue!
He is no ordinary human! That’s Rajni for you!”
This clothing accessory is many times ornamental while at times can literally save your honour!
Sometimes though it can be used to beat your honour!
The use of this accessory was so scary that it was banned in prison! It still is!
intrigued!?

The only time I do not usually wear this accessory is when I wear my scrubs! Otherwise you can never find me not wearing it if I am wearing a pant! It does not matter whether I need it or not!
I have always been taught to wear it with pants and that is how it has always been!
Now before you get any under the ‘belt’ ideas! The answer is actually the belt!
I cannot imagine not wearing a belt! Even when it is jeans or casual pants, the belt is a must! That completes the attire! When I do not wear the belt, I feel exposed!
It is another matter that I had always wanted to wear the army belt one day which is when my obsession with belt started! My dad used to have this amazing belt with his beautiful uniform! He used to shine it so much that we could see our face on it! After adjusting the size it used to fit perfectly!
Even our school uniforms used to have such belts! The only time I lost a belt was in the LKG in Nalanda public school in Kota for which I had to get an earful from my mom and pay the fine! After that I have always taken care of my belts!
During college days the pants used to change but the belts ( I had a couple then) used to be the same! The were the adjustable ones since the regular belts with holes never used to fit me!
I used to pierce extra holes if I had the normal belt!
Unfortunately now, belts are perfect size! Those days though without the belt, there is a very likely chance that the pant could fall!
Once during a college program, my jeans buckle buttons broke! I was left with a loose jeans with no belt in a room full of college guys and gals! And I was literally holding on to my pants! Then luckily I had the rakhee thread which I improvised to tie the ends of the jeans! That thread literally saved my honour (however less it was though!).
That may be the only rare occasion when I forgot to wear the belt with jeans! After that incident, if the pants have belt hooks, then rest assured they will be belted!
Apparently the earliest documentation of male belts goes all the way back to the Bronze Age. In the beginning, belts were primarily utilitarian as a means of carrying tools or weapons. Military girdle bands worn around the waist and designed to keep weapons in place are considered the first belts in history. Leather belts were also very popular in military due to their flexibility and durability which granted freedom of movement and some protection.
Even though men in Europe had started wearing pants in the 16th century, it took until the middle part of the 19th century for trouser waists to fall to a lower line and belt loops to be created! The belt finally transcended its application as a military tool turning it into an essential accessory!
In some countries, a father’s belt could be associated with corporal punishment! As belts are constructed out of materials like leather that were both strong and light, a belt can be easily wielded to produce intense pain by using it as a whip! The common scene of removing the belt in preparation of a ‘belting’ is well known to many old timers!
Since the 1980s and more commonly in the mid-1990s, the practice of ‘sagging’ the pants, in which the waistbands of trousers or (typically long) shorts are worn at or below the hips, thereby exposing the top part of any underwear not obscured by an upper-body garment, has been seen among young men and boys!
This practice is believed to have originated with prison gangs and the prohibition of belts in prison (due to their use as weapons and as devices for suicide!) — historically, including in the latter part of the 20th century, gang-affiliated young men and boys were expected to wear their belts fastened tightly!
Talking about young men and tough guys reminds me of celebrity and the king of kings! The one and only Rajni! Like I always say, there is nothing which Rajni CANT do!
Now wear your belt less Night Dress and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
