Today was an exceptionally busy day. Puja in Naveens factory too. So by the time I finished making pal payasam as prasadam for all there, I realized that there was exactly 5 mins for me to get ready and catch an auto to Whitefield.
So had to choose a Saree which will give the quickest and easiest drape. usually chiffons and crepes are the ones I choose when absolutely time strapped. But today I pulled out my amamma’s 70 yr old kanjivaram. It drapes so beautifully. Has been hand washed so many times, that it is as soft as butter on my skin. The zari is probably pure silver dipped in gold. Since it still is as glossy as it was when new.When I wear antique saree’s, I avoid hurting it with a single safety pin.
I always feel so happy and loved when I wear anythng that belongs to my grabdmoms, mom or mummy. It just calms the mind and makes me feel beautiful!
The minute Gaitu saw me in this Saree…. She said.. ” Amma its mine!!! ”
Both my daughters. Aged 21 and 23… Just love wearing Saree.
The Saree circle of life. It goes on…….
Am sure she is going to wear this the next occasion she gets !
Any spell mistake. Pls excuse. Typing in auto rick 🙂
