The necktie is Upper Class. A Salvatore Ferragamo silk tie may be Italian, but it is snob class in the capital. There is a line of denim called Upper Class advertised in Delhi stores, but is strictly avoided by those who want to be upper class. Long driveways that are hidden amidst foliage are cool as far Fussell is concerned. Trees bordering the lawn is dans le vent, while well-mowed lawns are definitely middle class.
Large windows are club class.
Now, in Delhi's housing colonies like GK and Vasant Vihar, driveways are no longer than a socialite's memory. Farmhouse living has caught on, with al fresco existence considered hip. Fussell's upper and upper middle class drinks vodka or Scotch with water or on the rocks and Bloody Mary before 3 p.m. and enjoy dry white wines and imported European beers. The middle classes drink vodka tonics, Scotch and soda and Bloody Marys after 3 p.m. The proletariat drinks schnapps, martinis after dinner and sweet Manhattans before dinner.
