When chiffon sarees became the rage and everyone had to have one, my grandmother-in-law, Nanima, is said to have bought this one. She wore it a couple of times and passed it on to her daughter, my mother-in-law, who thought this was too over-the-top and lichch-pichch for her liking! But she kept it anyway. Then, one day, out-of-the-blue, Nanima casually remarked to my MIL that this saree be given to Rahul’s wife who’d appear many moons later! The man was only in college at the time!

I asked my MIL to bring it along since she is visiting. \u202a#\u200e<\/span>100sareepact\u202c<\/span><\/a> made me wear it a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n

When Rahul returned from work, he looked at me with a where-have-I-seen-this-before, turned to his mom and said, “Even Nanima had a saree like this, didn’t she?”
\nAnd he was told this story too!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
