    @GeetaKashyap's Sorry saree reminded me of the thread I wrote in August 2017 which I am reproducing here.

    It must be the dream of every individual to appear beautiful. How to look beautiful is the one of the most important questions. mind and finding out the ways to achieve the objective of having the body beautiful is the major look out of almost all of them.

    The simple way to look beautiful is to look natural. It is not true that wearing lots of makeup can really make one look beautiful.What is important is to look beautiful is by keeping the heart and mind pure in order to keep the inner self-beautiful and this inturn will attribute you with a body beautiful.

    Draping in a saree a woman looks beautiful. I had an aunty who used to bring us saree when she used to visit us. That time I wasstill in my teens. I used to think once I start earning should have many sarees and should wear different saree everyday.

    In the early stages it was not possible. Before marriage due to financial condition we used to get sarees only on Diwali . Me andmy sister used to share the sarees. After marriage also it was very difficult to buy more sarees int he beginning. Once thechildren were born and they grew I got a chance to buy sarees more and used to like to collect sarees

    When I wasworking we had a shop nearby. Me and my friend used to visit the shop during lunch time and we became theirregular customer. Whenever new types of sarees came they used to call us and we used to be the first buyer. Once they hadtaken my photo also as a regular customer and put it in their marathi magazine. I dont know where that photo is now butsomewhere it is safe. I always used to get the best sarees. When I used to go to catch the contract bus ladies going for walk usedto wait to see which saree I am wearing.They used to tell me they like my collection of sarees. Also the people residing near myoffice used to appreciate my sarees.

    During my brother in law's daughter's marriage my sister inlaw and her family went to Salem to buy sarees for the marriage. Shetold me also to come as they felt I am good at selecting. We went to the saree shop where they were weaving the pattu saree. Iliked one blue saree which they just finished weaving and I took that saree and everyone liked it very much.

    Earlier I used to buy the sarees but after retirement I have got many sarees as gifts given for marriages. Now since I am notworking not able to use the sarees. I wear only when I go for functions or marriages. Evening while going to market dont feel liketaking out the saree and wear , so go in a simple saree only.

    Anyway I have worn different kind of sarees, different colours to my heart's content.

    After I started making jewellery make chains matching my sarees. Today also a family had invited me since it is aadi month togive haldi kumkum. My husband's friend's dil had invited me , she would have invited me for lunch but she has twins who will beone year in september. So with children it wil be different to manage. So me and my husband went for breakfast. She gave mesaree, one pithalai thambalam, mehndi cone, vethilai pakku , Nail polish , green bangles which I wore immediately and when Iwent to our agent for renewal of fixed deposit that lady told me bangles are looking nice.

    When my daughters came, both gave me a saree each, when I had gone to Pune my husband's niece gave asaree, one moresaree is there. So have 5 new sarees to wear, so no need to buy saree for my birthday, diwali etc. You all must be thinking I amacting like a child, like children I am so happy with the things I get as gifts , but what to do though I am getting old my heart isstill young.

    Honest to God I wish I can wear saree to office.

    Office-appropriate saree, yet a saree nonetheless

    Alas ......

    I never thought I could carry a saree but after a lot of practice I can.
