A pyjama or a pajama is an important piece of clothing, worn by both man and woman. Normally, it is a loose and comfortable drawstring pants, made of light fabrics. However, in places like Britain and United States, the term applies to sleeping suits and consists of a loose front-buttoned jacket and a trouser. These days, pajamas or pj’s signify anything, from flamboyant beach trousers to airy boxers. More often than not, any item of male sleepwear today is synonymous to a pajama. Still, the traditional pyjamas consist of a combination of jacket and a pair of trousers alongside. the word ‘pyjama’ traces its etymological origin to the Persian word ‘payjama’, meaning ‘leg garment’. However, it was first incorporated into English from the Hindustani language

Nau-Tangi means over reacting to something which doesn't look real and looks more like an act of drama or play as performed on the platform of stage.It also means that someone who has met you cannot accept your style of talking and over reacts himself as well or cannot digest on what u have said or done.Its sometime termed as one saying in gesture or feeling over reacted to.
