Dreams

Your story though begins with dream and beauty, yet is all about how you longed to possess and wear sarees. Certainly this story would find get related with many senior lady fellow members.

After reading the caption I was thinking it would be of dream girl and “ sapnon ka saudhakar “. The cosmetic industry depends on female population looking for beauty aids. From head to food for application varieties of items in the form lotion, cream, powder, sticks, etc are available.

This could be another definition of beauty.

But the trend and fashion dictates other options ans so many prefer to have wider choice of dresses that offers comfort to work and drive.

It is nice to know for a brief period that you turned a model.


As a boy, I used delight wearing mom’s new sarees . From my first earnings I bought sarees cotton only one each to my mom and sister from Tata textiles in mumbai.

Purchase of every saree or sarees is akin to an adventure or exploration and almost an ordeal to accompanying husband. Besides the role of accompanying husband would be that of a body guard..

Some women used to spend whole day visiting almost all the shops in Dadar BB and in that process - every shop turned upside down and the entire staff would remember them.

I remember the occasion when even after long cogitation purchase done, the moment she reaches home she would say we must get it exchanged “ for the other one”.

@SuiDhaaga out there still wondering is it necessary to hold the phallu on forearm displaying the print as models exhibit in ads.
Thanks and Regards.

 

Addendum to #2 above.
@Rihana in her post elsewhere discussed about merits and demerits vis a vis midriff of draping saree and her preference to wear sarees to office once in a week probably Fridays!
@GeetaKashyap had in her response to my thread about theft in my residence stated how she loves to keep sarees and for how long the the theft of that white saree presented to her by her mother was haunting.

In a thread* it was described how a thief was attracted by the German travel bag instead of its contents - spouse’s eight silk sarees delivered from band box.

Saree reminds me of the days as to how I slept in comfort to her lullabies as an infant in a flexible cradle made from mother’s saree hanging from ceiling hook!



Gifted used Sarees To servant maids had produced acerbic comedies in young couples - husband mistaking maid for his young spouse!

Thanks and Regards.

 

A super nostalgic in many respects this thread would always remain green in our memory as it appeals to those ladies not only emigrated from India, Sri lanka and south east Asia like Singapore Thailand Malaysia but also ladies in the land of Bharath Matha. A profound discussion covering entire gamut of saree buying preserving draping gifting and keeping it for 2to 3 generations. An undying evergreen lively romantic topic that discusses even over methods of hundred and odd ways of draping it.
Kudos to my beloved sister @iyerviji .
