22/100 – A dream then – Garden Vareli!!!
This was in late 80’s. We used to be glued to the black n white television watching Doordarshan n wham there Lisa Ray used to popup in Garden Vareli ad with all kinds of fabric flowing along her side. The prints were captivating and I used to think then, can I ever wear this…for me it was like “aapli ipat nahi” thing. And so when I rchd Mumbai to do Engineering, one of my friend said “Chal, Garden Vareli madhe jauya tithe sale asto”, I was like ..is it really happening…can I really buy anything there…so off I was with her just for the experience…in my mind emoting Lisa Ray’s expressions when I actually feel the fabric…after that garden fabrics were my favorite for college life as they never bled, wear n tear resistant and no need to iron sometimes….today’s saree is one such pick from Garden vareli…..the feel of the fabric and the colours n print is still captivating….as in that ad….nostalgic feeling!!!
