who comes up with these funny lines?!

Feeling too lazy to do tags and too sleepy to write something new. In that case comes rehash to the rescue! :D Remember I said in the saap-seedy post how I used to write another product review website?! This is one of them gems! ;)



At one of those corporate trainings which start with ice breakers, we were all asked which was our favourite T Shirt and why? People talked about old t shirts that made them feel comfy, branded ones that made them feel hep and then it was my turn. I said “I like this t shirt that has a cactus plant on it and says “Allergic to Pricks” because it’s totally me and my attitude”. The trainer was slightly shocked but very amused too, though he did avoid asking me too many questions during the course of next two days. Hehe!



I have always been fascinated by message T Shirts. Earlier they used to be not so common and happening either. It would say “Nobody is perfect. I am Nobody or My mother says no message T Shirts for me” and the likes. Then one day while browsing through a shop I came across a t shirt that said “God is too big to fit into any one religion” with signs of every religion put in row on it. I just fell in love with it and picked up for my boss.



Since then Tantra has been one of my favourite brands. I can spend hours just browsing through their t shirts and laughing away to glory. My brother is addicted to them and it is my standard gift to him, adding to his ever growing collection. I remember when last time, my parents came down to meet me, I thought of sending a Tantra for bro and I actually browsed for over hour and half! M had almost killed me then.



Tantra T Shirts tagline says India on a T Shirt! Of course it isn’t just India, but desi lingo plays or just twisting of your nursery rhymes. There is this one that simply says “Mary had a little lamb” with a small lamb on it and in brackets it says (it was very tasty)!!



The material used to make is cotton in its most comfortable form making wearing your attitude COOL in every sense of the term. The colours are usually standard in terms of black, blue, red, white, green and cream. They have 4 sizes available starting from small to the extra large. The styling is very simple round neck, no variation in that. I wish they made a few V necks too. The women’s tees are more fitted and shorter in length. Quite nice actually!



The tee comes with a handmade paper tag with whacky instructions and doubles as a neat book mark Priced, till last I knew at a very reasonable 250 - 350 bucks, these tees are a total steal and fundu value for money! They make great gifts for pals and NRI rishtedaars and even for your young at heart uncle and aunty. Tantra is retailed through all major shopping chains like Shoppers’ Stop and your local guy selling a combo of branded and unbranded stuff.



Some of my favourite Tantra Tees are



Picture – Taj Mahal – The Tag –Via Agra – The greatest erection made by man

Picture – Crowded Railway Compartment – The Tag – Indian Railways – 150 years of bringing
people closer.

Picture – Lotsa Arab Sheikhs – The Tag – Aap Qatar mein hai.

Picture - Some allegedly Chinese alphabets – The Tag – The next guy who asks me what it means will get a punch on his nose.

Picture –Ganpati – The Tag – 50% Human 50% Elephant 100% Cute

Picture – Man on a potty – The Tag – Download



The list is endless actually. I haven’t checked em out in quite some time and I am sure there are lot more crazy additions to their repertoire! I did manage to see some really cool kiddie Tantra tees recently! Just picked up one for Cubby, though it’s a little big for his current size. The one I really wanted said “You pinch my cheeks, I pull your hair!”, but I didn’t get in the smallest size they have! Priced at 195 bucks they are quite cool!



And the one I saw in a shop in Mumbai and laughed till I cried had a picture of lazy looking cow and it read “Pampered cow = Spoilt milk”



Which is your fav message tee or the wackiest thing you have read on a tee?



ps: talking about creativity, here's a blog I came across just last month and I am awed and amazed that SO much can be done with crochet! For me it pretty much meant those TV covers and table cloths in white or pink. Then along comes this girl and shows a whole different world!


take a bow Crafty! :D
