All this fuss over a neck-tie!

It was a regular day at office for me. I was at a client’s location. It somehow seemed
not just a regular day for all others around me. The men around seemed like they had taken
a few extra minutes grooming themselves today with crisply ironed out shirts and even ties

Most of them were visibly uncomfortable having a tie around their necks while most were figuring
out whats the best way they could tie it around.”I’m waiting to get this off my neck”, one man murmured to his colleague. As I worked on my laptop and glanced around I was wondering what the fuss was all about. Do most of them have some important meeting today?..Thats strange; I wondered.

Then I found out that the Chairman was scheduled to visit and everyone was at their very best attire.
They were also asked to stay put in their seats for the next two hours ..  Ah!… no wonder; I mused.

I find it amusing really, all this fuss over a neck tie.. I do not understand it.. I think the
shirts themselves look quite good and the hanging piece of cloth around the neck does not
necessarily add any aesthetic value. Atleast not to me.. but with ties priced the way they are, and many fashion houses designing these, I guess most of them appreciate wearing it.

I would appreciate a man wearing a clean , crisp white shirt and formal trousers any day with or without the extra add-on around his neck. Guess I am being too opinionated on things these days or maybe i should just stop looking around
