Mita’s Sarees
Number five was my Diwali saree this year. It was cold and rainy in the East Coast and Diwali was in the middle of the week, I might have forgotten had it not been for the fact that I was home and social media was all about Diwali pictures. I pulled out this old yet very bright red Sambalpuri Banda and just like that it was Diwali. I had bought this saree at the Pragati Maidan when I used to live in Delhi and was a school teacher. Seems like another life now. I ended up being very nostalgic for Delhi, for Diwali, for home that is only existed in my mind.
