Day 30. I bought this Kalamkari sari from Bunkari India last Puja. It had been lying unworn, first because I was waiting to get the blouse made and then for an occasion. Meeting up some old colleagues and friends over lunch, so decided to bring this out. I spent as long as 11 years working with some of them. Crazy deadlines, giving in to pressure and yelling at them and with them, only to return with smiles again the next day, endless cups of cha/coffee (gori for me, kali for some), hours of banter after work as we waited for the car pool, bursting fire crackers on the Maidan or on the rooftop on Diwali, feasting on food from the neighbourhood Chinese shop and more…those were very special years and I cherish every moment of that time. Many of us have moved on but every time we meet again the laughter still rings in the air.
