Today, I have been surrounded by love. I’ve felt it right through the day.<\/p>\n

This cotton saree I 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<\/a> today. She bought Neha 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 saree ? Achcha laga “, she said. She has been in a saree everytime I have seen her, morning or night.<\/p>\n

Then off I went for a late lunch which turned out to become a \u202a#\u200esareedate<\/a> in that town neighboring Bangalore – Whitefield.<\/p>\n

Heard saree stories about family and chance meetings and friends.<\/p>\n

So many stories today about this saree, the past & the present.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you at a #sareedate soon. Cheers !<\/p>\n
