As TASK has found some success in wrangling divine endorsement  for its cause, I have one more job for it in the same line.

It so happens that Friday is casual day in most companies, which means that young women like to wear jeans, T-shirts and other non-Salwar Kameez pieces of apparel they look most fetching in.

 It also so happens that Friday is the day devoted to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi. On this day, traditional women perform the Pooja and wear the saree as a symbol of their piety.

It is obvious that this tension between tradition and modernity – rather the clash between new tradition and old tradition – is  an inefficient outcome for all concerned. It causes clashes at home between young women and their parents and deprives some women of the opportunity to wear either sarees or western wear. Most importantly it represents an enormous lost opportunity for an advance in the battle against the salwar kameez, for if Lakshmi’s day and casual day were on different days of the week, the number of salwar kameez days would be down to three.

Now, one might claim that new tradition must give way to old tradition, because by definition the older one was there first, but in this case, I believe that Lakshmi should yield and occupy another day, preferably Monday. After all, it makes much more sense to propitate Her at the start of the week before we start chasing Her. 

Therefore, I request TASK to kindly do the needful
