Day 22…Beginning the week in a bright magenta kota. A gift from Matu (Mashi/aunt) Dolon Sen on her last visit to Calcutta. I think I have 3 magenta saris in my wardrobe and all three have a Matu connection. The first is a simple Bangalore silk, solid colour, with a slim zari border…one of the many saris she gave for my wedding. She had got a friend to bring it for me from Bangalore. The second is actually a gift from her daughter-in-law Priya Sen on her wedding. It’s a tussar with magenta and grey geometric prints on light pink. The sari is very special because it was specially chosen by Priya for me. Magenta, thy other name is Rani (colour) and the gifts of love surely make me feel like one. Crown, where art thou?
