And oh Boy was I Jaya Bhaduri fan ! The Cottage Industries showroom in South Extension in Delhi had some lovely ones and I would persuade Ma to please please please let me get one of those for every Birthday \/ Diwlai \/ Whatever occasion . The JB craze was so bad I would even do that Jooda with my long hair and wrap that Pallu around my shoulders &#8230;I remember my brother visiting from the US saying how this actress has ruined a whole generation of young women&#8217;s taste and style . But oh I loved my Pink \/ Green \/ off White and Beige \/ Maroon and Turquoise \/ White and Orange \/ Green combination prints so much that not even theses brotherly admonitions worked.<br \/>\nSo when I was gifted this lovely printed silk from Fab India early this year I fell in love with it immediately and it brought back some wonderful memories &#8230;thank you again to your Mom @Shilpi Sirohi<br \/>\nIt was January and the only time one can wear Silks in the daytime in Bombay and when invited to be with some good friends at a day long event organised at the Bhavan&#8217;s College grounds I was like oh wow I can wear this beauty<br \/>\nSeen here with me in this photograph is dear friend Abhishek who is a photographer , Yoga and Fitness guru and the guy who persuaded us to join him and his parents that day .
