Saree: georgette bandhani easy peasy comfy drape. Choli: this came with the white lehenga (if you remember the post where I wore it with white bell sleeves choli)
Story: what to say. Too much going on.. inside and outside. Although I couldn't wear Saree and post for almost a week I was talking to all of you (mentally) ... just dint get a chance to pen my thoughts on paper or rather mobile phone !! Work kept me awake and busy throughout.. but it's all good. No complaints. Lots of work is any day better than no work. Touchwood.
I love to (and be) fotograph. But i was thinking that most precious memories are usually never captured in camera. My earliest memory is seeing Siri on my fifth bday. I clearly remember the event like it was yesterday. Birth of my son, the visual and the cry.. nope no camera can ever capture what I captured as a mom. Amma long hair braided (but no rubber band at the end) wearing Saree to sit down for tuition classes for our colony kids.. some stay. Forever.
I also remember the first telephone landline.. phew.. what an achievement it was after several years of waitlist.. the red device with buttons (advanced version thanks for the wait) was a sight to remember. No more going to Sandhya's three houses down the road to wait to talk to grandparents... and in fact they would all know who called, why they called etc.. it's like one big family. Our relatives are their relatives and vice versa. We knew their cousins names, aunts uncles, in fact maniamma (neighbour's grandma ) from killukudi would always get me vathal because she knows I love them. She would twist my cheek and wish and bless me betelnut chewing all the time. A memory I would never forget. No cameras could have done justice anyway.
And today when my adorable Saree diva left us all and went to seek better place somewhere she left memories within many of us perhaps... her Saree, her personality, her journey amidst many challenges .. sigh. Sri! My top three fav songs from her treasure..
Kanne kalaimaane... moondram pirai..
Kaatein nahi kaththi... from Mr. India
Jaamu rathiri.. jaabilamma.. from Kshanam Kshanam
