Baatein bhool jaati hain… Yaadein yaad aati hain…. Yaadein…

My mom , RIP, insisted on my buying this saree 25 yrs back at the handloom exhibition in Delhi. She quite liked its color – Gaajari (carrot pink) as she would say. I was not too keen on buying it as it was not an everyday wear, especially being silk, but she was very sure that this color would suit me and since it is not too heavy, with a small border and nice aanchal, it is quite easily wearable.

So, last friday when I noticed it on the hanger while surfing thru my wardrobe, I said ‘why not’ and wore it to work with fond memories and moist eyes. Soon as I stepped out, it started drizzling as if nature could guess my emotions and it left the water marks from the drizzling drops on this “gaajari silk” which was mom’s favorite!
