Seminar day 2. On day 1, there was not much accomplished. Except for catching up with old friends. I and another colleague of mine had a great chatting session. We simply needed to share our thoughts and all that had happened in the past one year.<\/p>\n
The hall is big but fans are far between. As Delhi is reeling under heat wave, those fans don’t help. Sitting at one place for 6 hours with 30 min break is a bit too much. What do we do? We walk out of that hall and walk the corridors to beat the heat.<\/p>\n

I am draping a Kasavu saree with orange, mauve and gold border. I had bought it from Kochi airport way back in Mar 2012. My brother, his family, mom and I had gone on a vacation to South. We visited Meenakshi temple, Rameswaram and finally travelled to Munnar. I virtually did no shopping exceot for various spices and tea from the tea gardens. When we were returning, it hit me hard in the airport that I had not bought a single saree for myself and mom. So I ended up buying this saree and a dupatta for myself along with another saree for mom.<\/p>\n
The blouse is khadi, dark brown with typical khadi embroidery in yellow. I am very partial to Khadi blouses. My Jhumkis are bought from a local market.<\/p>\n
I have draped this saree once before in August 2012 on the eve of Independence day, with a green blouse to give it a tricolour affect. I have included that photo too in the collage.<\/p>\n
I almost always wear different blouses with the same saree as many times as I drape it. That gives the saree a new look…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
