Ever since Taj El-Din Hilaly spoke in defense of his sexual predator brethren there has been a lot of talk about burqas. But thinking about, I think men should wear burqas. There are actually a lot of benefits of wearing a burqa. Here is why:
- You don’t have to shave regularly
- Your wife won’t nag you saying “Didn’t you wear the same shirt yesterday?”
- We all have been in situations when you dash into a store to pick up one thing and run into somebody you know. You have to be polite and stop and chat. If you wear burqa, you will go unnoticed.
- You don’t have to put up a smiling face when a guy asks you, “Is it OK if I set the meeting at 5PM on Friday?”. You can make whatever face you want as long as you keep your voice calm.
- If you smoke, burqa provides another layer of filtering
- When you are in a store and your wife wants you to buy something expensive, you can pretend not to be her husband and walk away
- You don’t have to be all macho and say, “Oh, it’s not chilly at all.” You can wear a sweater and nobody will notice
- Nobody will know where you are looking. Just saying, not that you will check out girls or anything.
- “Dressing up” for dinner only involves wearing formal shoes (These events will be called “Black shoelace events”)
- Host of excellent pick up lines like: “Hi, will you join me in my burqa?”
- (Don’t talk about hair, Don’t talk about hair ) There won’t be any more bad hair days (Damn couldn’t stop)
May be I should start a new fashion trend.
lol…awesome!loved all! but hey the only downfall…wat will we girls do wen we go out? we can’t check out guys in burqa’s!:((
no-no, we dont want men in burqa’s!our life will be totally deviod of any color!:p
and I guess u can also add eating without worrying about how much u’re spilling or how sloppy you’re looking…considering almost all men look gross while eating
i choked on my honey roasted peanuts.. omg its fuggin hilarioussss!! hehehe… hehehe.. hehe.. and im glad you heeded my advice with refreshin ur blog … i would have hunted u down
.. omg i read everysingle post you have ever written .. i even left a comment on your very first post and many many inbetween .. 
.. hehehehe.. rofl
no more worrying about greying hair or shades of brown
the burqa hides the beer belly excellently.. and no more pressure to work out
I agree with yahsita….how will us women ogle at the cute guys??? Ogling is not just a male prerogative!!!!
hurray to Twisted!!! finaly someone cracked the problems of the hen-pecked man!!!
You don’t have to put up a smiling face when a guy asks you, “Is it OK if I set the meeting at 5PM on Friday?”. You can make whatever face you want as long as you keep your voice calm.
You can in fact slip the low-life in the next cubicle a tenner to attend the meeting for you!
That’s it, I’m converting!
ha ha ha, lol, too good !
haha… no more worries if u had a hair cut or stay bald.. i m sorry that i can t resist talking abt the hair…haha… hilarious post…
and yeah you guys also wear crumpled shirts and dont have to wear a sweater to hide that…
LOL!! You did it again:-)hilarious post:-)
Oh has been used in Tamil films so many times that its almost stale. Entering “Ladies college” or “Ladies special buses” in a burka.
You don’t have to put up a smiling face when a guy asks you, “Is it OK if I set the meeting at 5PM on Friday?”. You can make whatever face you want as long as you keep your voice calm.
Now that was hilarious.
careful… u might start off another riot in the middle east similar to the one after those cartoons.
Funny as usual.. only, dont bother resisting the hair bit. We know you try and make up for the hair u dont have by talking abt the hair that u do have.. but seriously, a bad hair day for a man?
Btw, i need advice.. pls go to my blog and put comment! Thanks!
lol! awesome post! sure…start a trend..but spare the hotties…we need some eye candy to relieve the tedium that is life…
ha ha ha LOL as usual. well how wil we recognize our husband?
LOL..but
1. your wife not nag for shirt but will nag for changing different burquas and styles for various occasions.
2.Dont know pretending not listening to wife will work. She will make u hear anyway.
on the positive side… you can lift your burqua like all those hindi movie actresses.
or
collide with a woman dropping all the books but what if turns out to be another man only…hahahaha
No more bad hair days.thats for sure.
Hey, enough about hair already!!
“Black shoelace events” - loved that one!!
Came here blog hopping. Cool Blog ! Great sense of humour !!
“When you are in a store and your wife wants you to buy something expensive, you can pretend not to be her husband and walk away”….LOL:-))
T-DNA,I bet, you would be the pioneer of this new fashion trend ,you are a great thinker with a striking idea ;)perhaps, a uniform unbiased law about burqa needs to be the order of the day to help restore peace around the world.he hee, Enjoyed reading
hilarious!! u must be such fun to hang out with
hahah…didnt realise wearing a burkha had sooo many advantages..think am gonna buy one myself!
my dad and uncle once wore burqas and sneaked into my cousin’s lady’s sangeet and mehendi function… they got caught because my friend just looked at my dad’s hand and recognised it after years of seeing it on the guitar… but i agree with all your reasons!
LOL! I love the one in which you can pretend not to be her husband - priceless!
There is really something about you….First time on ur blog and will keep checking..
Dash
Let us all reform to unbias dress of the Burqa, No more prejudice towards the sex, race, culture, religion etc! FABULOUS! Just one problem! you’re probing murqa terrorists…no more will passengers be paranoid about a turban wearing man….BEHOLD! it may be a murqa lurking under the innocent faceless mask of a black dress…mwahahaha….
That was awesome post! Guys have some great imagination abt things women sometimes dont even think abt!
“When you are in a store and your wife wants you to buy something expensive, you can pretend not to be her husband and walk away”
hey I was thinking about this “dangerous” situation(for women:-) and the my solution is that couples should wear matching burkas to avoid any confusion:-)
Oh… I really like this one
Your wife won’t nag you saying “Didn’t you wear the same shirt yesterday?”
woooowie..first time here..awesome thot…many a time wen my manager sees my project report…i wish i had one like tt to wear
thats not good for hunk watch and dehydration
Very funny. You’ve done it again.
Sunita:
Thank you very much!
Yashita:
wat will we girls do wen we go out
Hmm… didn’t think of that. I assumed no girl would be interested in looking at guys
chandni:
considering almost all men look gross while eating
Haha. You should come to our village and see the men brushing and chatting in the streets early mornings. Now that is the gorssest sight you can ever see.
Isha Reddy:
i choked on my honey roasted peanuts.
Were you on a flight when reading post? I assumed that is only place you can get honey roasted peanuts
i even left a comment on your very first post
Can you give me your email address. I would like to send a personal thank you note
the burqa hides the beer belly excellently.. and no more pressure to work out
Not that we do feel any pressure as it is, but you are right, burqa would conveniently hide our rock hard bodies.
freespirit:
Ogling is not just a male prerogative!!!!
Really? May be I shouldn’t assume no guy is ogled at just because nobody ogles at me
Nachi:
hurray to Twisted!!! finally someone cracked the problems of the hen-pecked man!!!
Yes, the problem is almost cracked. One still cant’ wear the burqa at home you know
Nee:
You can in fact slip the low-life in the next cubicle a tenner to attend the meeting for you!
ROFL. That is so true! Why just meetings, we can use the same technique for so many other things!
Cyberkitty:
Thank you

i can t resist talking abt the hair.
Makes two of us
Shankari:

Damn, you are spilling all our secrets! He he he. I used to hide Garber food marks under jackets and sweaters
mommyof2:
Thank you!
Anu:

If only men wear burqas, it will be an end to such Tamil hero antics
video:

Haha. Good point! These days its impossible to know what ticks people off!
How do we know:
but seriously, a bad hair day for a man?
Ok. Ok, I get it. We occasionally have good hair days
OrangeJammies:
start a trend..but spare the hotties…
What do you mean by encouraging to wear one and then saying “spare the hotties”, huh? grrr
itchingtowrite:
well how wil we recognize our husband?
Yes, thats the whole advantage (for us)
Pallavi:
I probably won’t have the luxury of talking about it for long
your wife not nag for shirt but will nag for changing different burquas and styles for various occasions.
Haha. No escape, huh
collide with a woman dropping all the books but what if turns out to be another man only…hahahaha
LOL. I was assuming that only men wear burqas. But if women wear too, ya, it will give rise to a lot of humor! For example, what if the whole song “mere mehaboob thuje, meri mohabbat ki kasam” is sung for a mistaken gender
starry nights:
No more bad hair days.thats for sure.
Ya, I won’t even have to comb my hair. Wait a minute.. i actually don’t comb even now

LOL. Ya, that will be a problem!
Blueberry rumnraisins:
Until I typed your “last name” I didn’t realize it is “Run and raisins”
women sometimes dont even think abt!
So women do think some times? Holy crap, I didn’t say that. It was not me. Where is my burqa, where is my burqa!
mommyof2:
that couples should wear matching burkas to avoid any confusion:-)
ROLF!! I am in splits just imagining all the situations with matching burqas! Good one.

Can u please do me one more favor? Can you please find out the cost of braille enablin cards in the US, and any other relevant info..
Thanks a ton for that hajar practical advice.. the client meeting happened and we did not need to do aprice discussion bcs she already knew our rates.
LOL
I love all your reasons. But what happens when you are wearing a burqa in California August heat?! 
Tuisted Saar,
Sorry I dashed your hopes.
I am kindly noticing from your good name that you are Biology guy. Your supervisor is daily asking When you are preparing duplicate sheeps? wait sir, fastly i am giving sir, you are giving response and going to one one people’s blog to check their English speaking tendencies..why like that you are?
You make it so appealing! How do they do in coldass temperatures?
Has to be me:
I think imagination is what gives me pleasure. I keep trying to imagine various situations and some of them are funny enough to make a post out of.
And dont forget to patent ur rights!
Hmm.. Why didn’t I think about that!
sharda:
how do you come up with these Ideas? tell me -tell me
Thanks you
Foodie’s Hope:
You have really twisted your DNA this time!
LOL. You think so? May be I should have it in a cast
It’s not air conditioned
ya! There you go, another patent idea. Air-conditioned burqas!
How do we know:
Any time
Life Lover:
wearing a burqa in California August heat
haha. Ya, I think people will cook inside. As Foodie was suggesting, we need to invent air-conditioned burqas!
But thinking about it, I dont know how those poor ladies who are forced to wear burqas in Afghanisthan, Iraq, Iran are wearing them in such heat!
thetalkativeman:
ttk saar, vhy are you saying bad bad things about me, saar? stop it, i say.
Man, I am no match for you! You perfected the art of desi English. By the way, did you check out the desi audibles on Yahoo! They are hilarious. There is one audible that talks like you did, “saar, vanakkam saar,” and so on.
thanq 4 coming yaar. you keep coming na.
Pickled Olives:
Ya, that surprises me too! Can you imagine people in Middle East wearing these things in such hot weather!
How do they do in coldass temperatures?
I am guessing you meant to say “hotass”
you are talikng about bad hairs even without hairs also you can roam freely…
LOL at pretending not to be her husband and walking away. If that was my hubby - he’d better prepare for WAR!!! Wicked Laugh - Ha Ha Ha Ha HA!!!!
I just thought you might want to know - it’s almost 6 on a Friday night, and I’ve been on a phone conference which doesn’t seem like it will end any time soon since 4:30pm.
A mere burqa will not do - need a voice-mimicking + face-hiding thingie!
Thankfully this is Nah and not Nee - this would have driven her over the edge.
If this fatwa applies to Indian actors, Imran Hashmi would be in big trouble and Himesh will not need his cap.
One more advantage would be that you will not need any hanky after you sneeze.
No, I am thinking what it would be like to wear one here in Connecticut. It gets VERY cold (i.e.: coldass)here in New England. Is it worn Under or over coats and gloves and hats? Sorry to sound so curious, but your post provides advantages, and i think if it protects you from frigid temps, that is a great reason to wear one!
Pickled Olives:
Now I got it. I am generally not this slow
You know, if one wears a burqa and then wears a long coat, it will look quite funny! It will look like they are just wearing a mask because we can’t see rest of the burqa. It could scare the hell out of the store clerks, airport security etc.
you are one of the funniest people!! i think i need a burqa too (could women wear them?).
LOL. great visual!
lol…… nice one..
oh ur so smart
came here thro Priya’s blog…
hilarious one! laughing out loud! :))
now THESE are goood reasons for men wearing burkhas….
i reckon you should go for it… start a trend… 
“these events will be called “Black shoelace events”
still laughing.
cracked me uP!
the funny thing is i know of guys in KSA who wear burqas and pretend to be a “friend” of their girlfrnd’s so the dad won’t bother them. or chase the guy outta the house.
michael jackson was found in bahrain wearing a burqa…so there’s prolly plenty of celebs following ur advice out there.
Dropped by to check if something new

You won’t believe this but at least 5 people compared my style with Dave Barry’s before. Funny part is, I never read Dave Barry

Ya…no need to iron clothes…no suntans (ya ya tell me you couldn’t care less)…
When you are in a store and your wife wants you to buy something expensive, you can pretend not to be her husband and walk away
