Day 23

#100sareepact

Around 2015 March me & my friends had decided to go to Sundari silks to pick some sarees for my virtual friends who had given me few requests. Latha Raju my dear friend spotted this saree & perfectly matched it with a printed blouse from Nalli. Infact we 3 friends picked up the same sarees in different colours. It was fun.

I met Sabita Radhakrishna aunty during the Chennai sareedate & Sumita Pai & I planned to meet her up. Today finally after aunty informed we could visit her & see few Chettinaad cottons; handlooms directly from a weaver in Arani, situated near Vellore and Tiruvannamalai in Tamilnadu. The town is known for handloom weaving.

The best of the saree pact & thanks to Anju Maudgal Kadam & Ally Matthan that I got to meet such lovely people. Sabita aunty; someone who I admired for her grace; knowledge of handlooms & yes auntys love engulfed all around her. An hour spent with aunty; Bharti Lakshmi; Sumita & her lovely mom; I must say I had a great day. Met Sabita auntys mother & she was in an awesome cotton. A day I shall cherish!!!
