I was totally bored and tired after all the walking in the Palace grounds. Sat down near a small stall, waiting for the rest of the gang to finish and catch up&#8230; It irritates me no end when people can&#8217;t make up their mind. I keep wondering how many boys they saw before choosing one to get hitched with. Let&#8217;s come back to the story of the saree. So I sat down near the stall, asked the youngster manning it to give me some water. He gave me really cool matka water. Downed a few glasses and was finally peaceful with myself. Started chatting with him in Hindi, mind you. ????? Then I was looking around the stall and he said why don&#8217;t you buy some suits&#8230;. I told him. I wear only sarees or Western, thinking that will stop him from making his sales pitch &#8230;.. He brightened and said I will show you something nice, opened one big mootai and pulled out only this saree. I fell like a ton of bricks, for the saree &#8211; before you get any dumb ideas- and sighed and asked, How much now? He said for me special price&#8230; And charged me an arm and a leg. Guess he knew a sucker when he saw one&#8230;. By then the gang came back and said he must have actually charged me for the water also&#8230;.. I almost believe them now&#8230;.. And the gang hadn&#8217;t bought anything at all, because they couldn&#8217;t make up their mind!!! ?????? Sheeesh! Who needs enemies when you have one deranged family like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#100sareepact 74\/100 A Tussar from Rajasthan, bought at Dastkar. Many moons ago.
