One more from my mother’s cupboard. I remember buying this saree approximately 24yrs ago from one of the ‘sadiwala’ guy who came straight from chander selling lovely chanderi’s.
One of mummy’s friend called her to inform us that she is sending this gentleman. This was the sample piece he was carrying and was not meant to be sold. Since we both liked it at first sight we dint wanted to let it go. We bought some 4 more sarees from him, fed him well and engaged him in long conversation to convince him to give this one too. Finally, he agreed to sell it to us. 🙂
My mother wore it many times and I would always tell her “jab aapka mann bhar jaye iss saree se, tab yeh mujhe de dena.” And finally…
It’s my daughters annual day function. So, I am wearing this with a blouse of my other saree and I feel its going well. 😀
