#100sareepact (6/100)

Recording the interview on the city’s all English radio channel Chennai Live – 104.8 FM was great fun with Sabita Aunty and RJ Jane.

Jane’s smiling demeanour and charming ways helped a great deal in addressing my nervousness! Sabita Aunty was at her best what with her decades of experience in the media, particularly AIR and Doordarshan and it was simply wonderful to be on air with her. Thanks to her encouragement I was much more at ease than I would have been otherwise!

Sabita Aunty wore a classic Kerala mundu saree in pure cotton, light as a feather, and a printed mustard blouse and beaded neckpiece to match. Isn’t she a picture of elegance? 🙂

I was in a black and multi-hued cotton blend blockprint saree with khadi motifs teamed with a green Tshirt. White shell jewellery to match.

We talked about – what else – the wildly trending #100sareepact, of course, and also a bit about the Handloom Act and the situation of the weavers.

Listen to me fumble (!) and the pros do what they do best 🙂 on Friday morning 10-11 a.m. on Spotlight (tomorrow). Non-Chennai people can listen in via the TuneIn app.
