For my 50th milestone I gifted a sari choli to my stranger buddy.
For my 100th milestone I chose to gift two saris, to two elderly.. Guess what ? Their priorities were different. One wanted monetary support to buy monthly groceries and medicines. The other was in bad need if mixer grinder.. I did not want to take away happiness of draping a sari from them.. so gifted (Manikarnika Sarees Fabrics and More, Umbara Designs cholimaker) all their wishes! Just a small moment of happiness in attempt to make someone smile!
Request: after reading my thoughts below if any of you are willing to join the fun, pls do and tag posts with your sari buddies with #GiftASariStory #mysaribuddy
Story: Sari undoubtedly is synonymous with self identify, confidence, love for heritage, handloom and most importantly happiness wrapped in six yards!
Today thanks to awareness and some help from social platform we get opportunity to pull those memories otherwise tucked away neatly in closets, and flaunt them, travel taking them places, share our happiness in pics and stories. The humble six yards has covered the length and breadth of this planet.
What is #mysaribuddy? Many of us have been promoting and sharing sari-fic initiatives like saree pacts and the like. It's just a beautiful journey... I am part of those too.
Walking along, I always felt that a smiling buddy would do wonders. I wanted someone who otherwise could not fulfill their sari dream (not everyone has same priorities) to walk with me and I wanted to be able to fulfill their dream. In no way or manner I intend to hurt their sentiments or feelings, the #GiftASariStory is only to help some build their stories and share with us.
All of us would have thought of #mysaribuddy at one point, thus this platform is born!
Not always you need to know someone to do something special for them. Random people, short and sweet journeys making lasting memories! We are just adding a sari dream to it, that's all!!
If we are blessed to be able to enjoy draping saris and build our treasure of memories, why not use our blessings to make someone else's dream come true?
If this resonates with you, jump into the bandwagon and together we will share and spread happiness as much as enjoy in the six yards
