This double-coloured pink, lightweight, silk-cotton saree was perfect to wear in Sunny Chennai for a wedding yesterday.

I teach bhajans/devotional songs to a women’s group in the community where I stay and for Dusshera last October, these lovely women all got together and gifted me this pretty pink saree, which I absolutely adore! When I asked them why they gave me a saree, they said, ‘Because we love you a lot.’ I don’t think there can be a better reason to do anything
