#100sareepact

Glad to be a part of this initiative Anju Maudgal Kadam & Ally Matthan. Am not a western wear person. Belonging to a family who have been promoting handloom sarees for last 70 years in Kolkata I am delighted to be a part of this initiative of yours. Be it any occasion it is always sarees for me hence any little contribution to this effort of yours would be my pleasure. I got introduced to tussars by both my grandmoms who had lovely ones in their wardrobes. Geecha tussar threads always are my favourite because of their comfort level & fall. I got crazy for Geechas in 2010 owing to my friend Rituparna Banerjee who first introduced me to the same. Dad is one person in my life who never gets tired gifting me sarees till date. 2010 a year when Geechas were on my toplist and blue being dads favourite colour; Ma & baba gifted me 3 geechas for Durga Puja 2010. This was one among them. Thought a simple pearl neck piece would do justice.

Thanks baba Rn Bhattacharya for this lovely saree. It’s light & comfortable. Tagging my friends Manideepa Sengupta; Madhukantha Kamath; Avradita Chakravarty; Soumyasree Chakraborty; Revathi Subramanian; Subarna Biswas Basu & Alka Singh to join this pact for simple reason that they love sarees as much as I do.
