The Song of the Lungi Durable Link to this BLOG
I was documenting the different types of Lungis and remembered a funny song we used to sing. The free-flowing and unstitched (some Lungis are stitched) nature of the Lungi allows it perform multiple functions...


"Lungi is better than Pants"

The Pants Vs The Lungi

When in white, you are my formal wear.
When in design, you are a festival!
What good are those trousers?!

If I wrap you around my head,
you become a turban.
You are a blanket if I am cold.
And a sail when the wind is bold.

After I play in the sea,
you become my towel.
A flag when I wave
A trap to catch the mango!

Ready for Cricket when I fold you in half,
Ready for hanging when I twist you as a rope
ready as bed when I'm stuck at fairs


You become a shawl when I need modesty
and a carrying bag during a loot.

The trousers are no good!

Inspired by the "Trousers are no Good!" folksong, which in turn is inspired by the classic "Neenarigadeyo Ele Manava" (the humans are no good).
