IS IT ME OR.................


                             Have a look at both the clip and  manual demonstration with a little tip from my experience. 

 

 

                                     THE CLIP

OR manual demonstration 

Is it me or?
      Is it me or there are other bunch of people who could not be careless to learn how to make their tie. I could consider myself naive not to bother   to have basic knowledge to make my tie.  When I was in Eritrea, I knew a guy who was a top government official  who could not make his tie and I used to make a mock out of him because he always come to my auntie in order to make his tie. At that time I was not that much interested to know the tie things as it was not, I think, a necessary thing to my daily activity. To be honest, as a kid or young person it was not my stuff really. I was happy to wear my jeans or any other casual dress as there was no anyone to bother how I dress. It was cool and normal to dress as I wish.
   Later on when I started to be part of the Judiciary department of my country, though it was not a must do rule, things have changed. This is because my clients are those people who have the perception of dressing code. They came to the court of Law where I work dressing like the CEO, and me the young graduate with not sufficient salary struggled to cope their dressing presentation. It was at that point that I decided to buy a suite and a tie. I remember going to the shop I usually do my shopping for clothes and ask the shop woman to give me a suit that suits me ,as I was very skinny little boy who just come out from the university with law degree and fights to be part of the elite. I call elite because; it was my perception at that time, going to the court of laws was for some people who are extraordinary. Though it turn out the other way when I meet the people who were there. The real elites were those people who have the guns and wanted us to be their instruments to abuse the law to their interest. There was a moment of laugh and sarcasm from the shop keepers as they were not used to see me buy such kind of cloth, though I was very loyal customer of theirs.
   When I bought the tie , there comes another puzzle to be solved that is how to make a tie. The time that I used to mock the other  government official come to me and I have to go to my auntie to ask her make my tie and she did her part to tease me  as she perfectly knew my guilty side to that poor guy. From that time onward I started to put my readymade tie on my cab board so that I will not have any hassle to make it. The bad thing of this readymade tie policy has lasted in a disastrous side effect. I am not yet able to make tie till now. I remember when I took readymade ties to my wedding preparation room as I was not confident my best men ,could be craps, like me to that task. As I feared, it turned out that they are same like me who do not bother to know how to make a tie.
I have not settled yet and still depend on someone to help to make my tie. The good thing is I do not have to go to my auntie, but there is another one who does it for me: have you guessed who might be that person? Who else do you expect?  My wife, God bless her.  I am planning to learn to do it: I usually prefer to learn things alone on my own rather than people physically standing infront of me and telling me to do this and that. I sometimes convince myself in order to comfort my ego, had the internet  had being an easy access as it  is now I would have done easily in short period of time. It is still never too late.     
  The photo and clip below may help. So let us pray to do it before Christmas as I am now wearing ties on special occasions rather than the usual time when I used to do while I was in the court room.
