5/100. Ever thought how books and sarees are similar on so many counts? Each unique, each holding a different meaning for different people and each so very evocative. Of people, places, times you have shared. And each one a tiny part of our collective heritage.

On World Book Day, a black and beige jamdani saree with meena work in blue and red that matched a favourite painting, seemed the perfect choice. This was picked up from Nalli’s in Mumbai in 2005.
