I think this is the first time I have two Saree Pact posts in one day . Sunday at home after a long time and the coming weekends too going to be busy with work related travel so catching up with friends and when Abhishek and Ektaa said come home for dinner it did not need too much coaxing to say yes of course .

The Saree , a lovely red and blue handloom from FabIndia reinvents itself each time I wear it and today , teamed with a Bijouri blouse it seemed the perfect choice for the evening .

And what an evening it was at Abhishek’s ! Chicken Biryani and Paneer Mattar , Rajma and Raita and chatpata conversation and the adoration of Raja , king of all canine beings . And pouring rain outside .

Abhishek is a young man who wears many talented hats . A photographer whose portraits are breathtakingly dramatic . A writer who has such a fine felicity of words, a celebrity trainer with many famous names and fit bodies under his belt, a fitness guru and yoga expert whose book Fitness on the Go is on almost every bookshelf ever since it came out … Most importantly , Abhishek is a dear, dear friend who puts up with my badgering and bullying and eventually after months and months actually shares the awesome pictures he takes !!!!!

I am so heartacheingly proud of the fact that I feature in his book ..see shameless picture of said mention and if I follow anyone’s advice on how to be fit it is now only his . Abhishek was introduced to me by Alvira Khan Agnihotri ( he is trainer to almost everyone in her family ) and in no time he involved himself in my work and when his book was ready to be launched he was absolutely sure it would be done involving my patient support group . And so it was.

The Launch was a special one – preceded as it was by a special Yoga session Abhishek took for over two dozen of eager and enthused patient volunteers . That’s one event I will never forget .

Thank you Abhishek for being in my life and making it so much more special and for introducing your wonderful parents to me and Ektaa , so full of life and love and maker of the best Chicken Biryani this side of the Western Express Highway !!
And for being in my Saree story !

And thank you both of you for a lovely evening and the midnight visit to Mount Mary for some long promised to someone prayers …
