Lakshmi . Today is her day. A day of fasting and feasting. As is every puja day.

I wore this blue and maroon Kanjeevaram, again a prasaadi Saree, something that the ashram’s Devi wore and which was gifted to me for my aiburobhaat, as they say here kelvan.. The feast with the relatives the day before marriage… The last lunch at your natal home before the D day!

I wear it only for Pujas and such like, as I was strictly told to be careful with it. Today I wore it with two other precious gifts, a jhumka of my grandmother and a locket gifted to me by my grandmother ( my mother’s aunt and adoptive mother you can say ) ….

…. I was, am, blessed.

Someone said I look like Radha in this picture from 17thJanuary 1986. Their mental picture of Radha, yes, of Krishna fame … In the other one from today I hopefully look like Radha’s mom, MIL or aunt at least.
