This is a handwoven tussar silk that belongs to my Ma, Subhadra Maudgal.
\nMy Ma is the bravest, most zinda dil and shaukeen ( large hearted and zest for life ) woman you will ever meet. Her story inspires, and moulds who I am. But that is for another day.
\nSo my mother lives with her four children, in four different continents, in turn. And I kid you not, she has wardrobes full in every home and she still never travels light ( insert anju ki pitayee\/spanking guaranteed here )
\nWhat should you present the Maudgal Queen ? Sarees and Jewellery, naturally !
\nThis saree was presented to Ma by my sister in law, Shubha Maudgal, on her birthday. A quick dash to Bombay’s Amarsons store ( my Sophia girls are sighing at this moment ) because the city had come to a halt due to the 26\/11 Taj siege.
\nMy mother’s birthday is on the the 28th of November.
\nI had to wait to post this till now, because both Memsaabs weren’t picking up their phones, FaceTime calls or answering messages since they were lunching in Seoul.
\nI’m glad I waited for the story for the details it through up, and I talked to my Mommy after a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
