#100sareepact (10/100)

Mom in a sky blue Maheshwari with self print. Loved the colour the moment we laid eyes on it. I have a similar suit material also picked up from the same crafts exhibition.

Although bought many years ago, this was worn recently to celebrate my grandfather’s 100th year and his achievements and work within the community, for which he was honoured.

I was appointed to render a speech about my granddad and delivered it in my mother tongue Konkani, the first time I ever attempted such a thing and thankfully, it went well and was appreciated by all. I did so wish to wear a saree on the occassion but…ah well…everyone else was wearing one anyway! (My blouse woes continue…).
