Living in Netherlands and wearing saree once a month – don’t I need to pat myself for that?

This picture is from last month, we participated in a day long yearly event called “Global Village day” in my daughter’s school . The school is a community of people from over 50 different countries. Everyone takes pride in representing their own country on that day.

Never dared to own a bright red saree in my life earlier, other than my red (a different shade) wedding saree. When I received this ‘jamdani saree‘ as a gift from a dear friend about a year back, I thought – O my God, what a gorgeous bright beautiful piece! Will I be able to carry it well? …..
My friends have more confidence in me, always:)
