Not a dessert, but my saree…a soft, chocolate-brown mysore silk; once again from my wedding collection.

It was a gift from my maami-ji and was originally a mustard saree with a bright red border (the combo used to be called the Draupadi saree after it was popularized by the actress playing Draupadi in BR Chopra’s epic TV serial – Mahabharat).

Unfortunately, I spilled some coffee on it and it left a dark stain which wouldn’t wash off. So I took the saree to a rangrez and got it dyed into this brown color. I’m now enjoying it in its new avataar!

Seen here at a wedding reception with my camera-shy little friend, who wouldn’t pose next to me, but obliged with her mom next to her.
