The idea started with a couple of colleagues (Anu, Madhavi and Neeta) talking about wearing a saree to work one day. Anu sent an email saying pick a date and spread the word. I was delighted since I had never worn a saree at ADB on a work day. So after a few emails of spreading the cheer and couple of dinner party conversations later, we had the saree day on 20th August at ADB Headquarters in Manila. Colleagues from all nationalities joined in. Some came wearing outfits made from sarees and others in their national dress to support the initiative. My colleague Karen gathered our stories on our respective sarees over lunch. A moment of fun in the Philippines.
