#debsaristories #thankful #onlineshopping #nomakeup Not that I am not thankful everyday, but certainly a long pending write up to share thankfulness for all the entrepreneur women that are the reason behind our saree collection, that have solely tirelessly created a brand, a space, an identity and most importantly numerous long lasting relationships. Wearing a silk kota saree which perhaps is my first time online purchase after I moved to USA. And then there was no turning back.

 But when I pause to think of the amazing ladies behind the names, the Facebook pages, the messenger contacts, there is enormous hardwork, day and night efforts tending to this baby, sleeplessness, sometimes leading to ill health.. it's a lot. Everytime we see a saree uploaded on our favorite Facebook page, we are immediately tempted to play "fastest finger first" we dont realize if its day or night for the other person. we just ping. And guess what? The response is immediate (although I always expect it delayed by few hours). Then I started realizing in my intent not to forget or miss the product I am beginning to become a rude customer. I then started being mindful and would ping during my night time which is day time in India. Guess what? These amazing ladies are more busy creating wonders working with karigars and dealing with real world problems. The more I learn from your lives the more I respect you all. Many of you deal with customers one to one instead of deploying others in your place. That's because we want you and you know us by instinct. And all you expect in return is love in the form of pictures, that's it? I mean seriously... how sweet is that! The few that I got close to in the process immediately know my taste and my dislikes. They get me what i want even before I can wish for it. They always stretch and go extra mile without asking. i feel so lazy and rude compared to you. Come on, can you ever tell a grocery shopkeeper to open doors at midnight just because you liked something in his shop and want "more pics" or "more colors"? (S)He will smack us out. I can go on and on but it will be less. I couldn't exist in such amazing groups posting pics without you. You all have my unconditional love and many best wishes all the time.
