#debsaristories #sareenotsorry #desividesi I am immensely overflowing with happiness today. My colleague at work Ms. N chose to retire and today was her last day at work with us. I had always been telling her she would look gorgeous in saree (I know everyone does). So I chose to gift her a saree for her Retirement party today. It's a kantha stitch on tussar I picked for myself last year when I visited Kolkata. Her happiness is evident. Just so she isn't alone, a few of us (Ms. D, Ms. C, Ms.M) chose to drape (my) sarees too to give her company! My team is such a sport and they all jumped at the idea. I carried three more sarees (and my strip of big colorful bindis) so they could drape on their jeans and tee, crop top, blouse , whatever! Arent they all looking gorgeous? I was sharing with them my passion for sarees, they urged me to think about taking it to a professional level.. and bingo they all got excited and volunteered to model for me if that ever happens! None of them are Indian origin, but they were so proudly carrying the drape and spoke how they could manage all day in it, and they would wear it everyday, everywhere! It's one thing to show off your own pride, but its incomparable happiness when someone else speaks highly and proudly of what's yours. Like someone praising our kids instead of us singing their praises..the feeling is amazing! More pics in comments. They are pro models at it! Gosh, hard to match their energy!
