9/100 #100sareepact

This was the saree I picked up from mother Reet Singh and daughter Ruchi Singh designer team. The saree came with a beautiful black sequin blouse and a potli.

I picked this up to wear at chamber music concert at the golden hall at a 900 year old fortress called Hohensalzburg in Salzburg.

Wore the saree with accessories and had to drive to Salzburg which was an hour away from where we were staying. The 1st disaster we got lost and did not know how to enter the fort kept going round and round and wasted a lot of time

Finally we figured out we had to park at specified parking lot which was around 2 kms from the fort. Since my parents found it difficult to walk had to take a taxi which was driven by a Pakistani driver a very nice man who was very helpful took us to the entrance of the funicular to go up to the fort.

Finally got to the fort when the skies opened up and it really poured. We were wet within minutes and looked bedraggled and in a mess . All plans of looking elegant flew out the window.

My parents who were keen on the concert could not come up to the concert hall since there were 150 steps to climb. My sister and I dripping went up to the concert hall. All the above just disappeared when the music started.

An exprience I will not forget both for the rains and the chamber music
