Men vs. Women

The picture alongside establishes what women have held all along: Men are basically fools. How else would anyone explain why they should all turn out in flimsy cottons on a cold winter morning? Barring Harish Wadhwa (in grey half-sweater), the men can be seen in loose T-shirts and one (with his back to the camera) is even in shorts!
The picture also establishes what men routinely hold against women – that they are all cold-blooded creatures, quiet and calculating and that they are the ones who require the warmth of woolens to survive. The warm-blooded men, in contrast, are so full of vitality and bonhomie that they do not need a woolen cover to venture into the Garden.
Nahid Khan tried to prove (during the Lion and Lioness round) that all their machismo and false bravado was fine in the Garden, but once at home, all Indian males turn into geedars. Bapu Rane instantly countered her by raising the subject of the ongoing cricket series in Australia to prove that the opposite was true: “The Indians are lions on home turf and become geedars when they go out.”
Hari Singh Shekhawat (left) gave further fillip to the argument by practically demonstrating how full of beans he can be on a cold morning, even as he has a doctor’s appointment ahead at Colaba. Much to the amusement of the ladies, he kept breaking away from the exercises to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with people on the walking track. And at the end, he got hold of Rane and performed a vigorous monkey-dance, prompting Srichand Arora to remark that the two ought to be packed off to Gemini Circus the next time it comes to town.
Always one to have the last word, Tara Chand Seth quipped: “Why should they go back? They have just escaped from the circus and landed here!”
Harish Wadhwa:
All the women show up in full-sleeved sweaters and cardigans while the men brave it without -- except for one. Myself. Actually it is chilly up there at my altitude... (oops!) my height. So I better not take the risk (LOL).
Bhaswati Bose:
The "full of warmth men" are bindaas because they know when they catch a cold, their gharwalis will take care of them. The "cold and calculating women" take precautions because they know they have to look after themselves AND their foolish halves.

Thank you. I have been looking for facts about this question for a while and yours is the best I have found so far.
Harish Wadhwa adds:
Bhaswati-ji, I am the only one who realised early that there will be nobody to take care of me if I were to catch cold or fall sick. So wearing a half-sleeve woolen is a good bet, mere dost-yaar bhale hi kuchh bhi bolen!
