My mum always helped me drape a saree by folding it horizontally when I was a little girl. I remember wearing her sarees during summer holidays when I was 10.
This year, we were in India for a family wedding and seeing all of us in beautiful sarees, my 6 year old wanted to wear a saree. I was tired and was trying to make excuses- but my mum who was her patient self took on the task. I saw how she folded the saree in half and draped it around my daughter. Reminded me of my childhood days and also of what’s expected of me as a mum. Thanks mum,
