#8/100

This was a first sareedate yesterday. It was wonderful meeting all the lovely ladies draped in their beautiful sarees, listening to their unique stories n getting to know them. Thanks to Ally n Anju for organising this.. 🙂

Some of you must have read about my paternal aunt on 100sareepact. As mentioned there, I was very close to my aunt who loved me like her own little child. She never got married, had unique perspectives on various things and lived by some strong passions – one of which was her eclectic collection of sarees. We have an uncle from Dhaka, Bangladesh who is a very special family friend, who used to visit us often during my childhood. One of the hallmark of his visits would be the choicest Jamdaani Dhakai sarees that he would get for my aunt. This is one from that rare collection of my aunt. This must be somewhere between 30-35 years old and for more reasons than one holds a very special place in wardrobe …and in my heart.
