Then and now. Memory of sister n me in a saree. The old pic was taken on saraswati puja day when we were in Sindri. Sister’s saree was bought specially for her, while i wore one of ma’s saree. These were the days when ma dressed her dolls her way.
The second picture is of March 2015. This had to be my 3rd saree of the pact as it is the latest when we both sisters wore saree together. This time the driving force behind the saree-day-for-both-sisters was my pishi (father’s sister, seen in the new picture standing with us). She just wouldn’t accept any other attire (read salwar-kamiz) to be worn by us that day as we were supposed to visit temples.
