Today, I have been surrounded by love. I’ve felt it right through the day.<\/p>\n
This cotton\u00a0saree<\/span>\u00a0I presented to my mother. It’s got a self print and khadi work on the Pallu, in an unusual white on white.<\/p>\n Ma didn’t wear it for very long, so I grabbed it back to keep it. You can be cheeky like that with Moms.<\/p>\n The blouse fabric was presented by my friend Kusum who debuts in the\u202a#\u200e100sareepact\u202c<\/span><\/a>\u00a0today. She bought\u00a0Neha Mathur<\/a>, and me, a piece each and demanded we stitch and wear them together. So we did !<\/p>\n Last year when we were practicing rigorously for our Oxfam 100 km, we would stop by my office for nariyal paani at a lady’s cart. She is a Muslim from Hassan, and speaks beautiful Urdu. She waved as the car passed by so I stopped to say hello and bought a few coconuts for office.<\/p>\n “Achche lag rahe hain aap. Alag bhi. Subah ko running karte hain, aur din mein\u00a0saree<\/span>\u00a0? Achcha laga “, she said. She has been in a\u00a0saree<\/span>\u00a0everytime I have seen her, morning or night.<\/p>\n
