My mom bought me this blue cotton saree in New Road when I was around 18. At the market, I insisted I didn’t need new clothes, only this saree. My mom who inspired the love of saree in me didn’t talk me out of buying it and said “OK”. It would be over a decade before I would wear it for the first time. It was part of my wedding trousseau. Today I wore this saree to work and the husband took a picture of me as I was waiting for him to show up in Mangalbazar.

1/100 – With this I finally join ‪#‎100sareepact‬ – I will not be able to do a 100 but I will stay true to the pact this year.
