#100sareepact Day 54
\nInspired by Anju Maudgal Kadam, this is a me-too-in-embroidered-white-saree post!
\nI have not been wearing sarees the last few days as I put away my cottons when it started to cool down a bit end of last month. But then, the mercury shot up to nearly 40 and it has been around 37-38 for the last 10 days! Too, too warm to wear silks as of now. How fortuitous then that Anju wore her white embroidered saree – I remembered this! It had been drycleaned and put away at the bottom of a drawer (which has my winter tees) some 5 years ago. I dug it out and wore it yesterday, when I needed to look all erudite and dignified!
\nAbout the saree – an undyed Kota Doria, it was embroidered by my mother in law. She did a lilac saree for her other daughter in law and a pink one for her granddaughter, both with huge sprays of flowers. I wanted something really simple and elegant so it was red rosebuds on off white for me. Sadly, it has a big hole near the corner of the palla and I have to bid it goodbye now.
\nThe story I wanted to do today was about another lady in white – actually a young blonde (British?) teenage girl in a lacy, white dress ( not sure if it was embroidered with red rosebuds! ) who chased hubby dear, when he was a ten-year old on a bicycle, out of the grounds of an old palace. But he won’t let me tell you about her and the way she kept appearing and disappearing or what the locals had to say about her…<\/p>\n
