Weekend Saree 3 of 3.
Sunday.
Sakhis I must start this post with a profound sincere apology. Very poorly shot photos. To be more accurate, I completely forgot to pose. So I have added some collage of weird shots in which you will see the Saree. I will however provide you with a clear description 🤗.
Sunday started off well enough after an intense but enjoyable Saturday.
Didn’t have to cook as I had left over dishes from Saturday and my friend had packed some delicious food for us after the dinner.
Got up early as some friends were visiting in the morning to invite us to their son’s upcoming wedding. Before they arrived, I did a quick vacuum of hall, living, kitchen, garage, bathrooms and corridoor. Some even quicker dusting of tables, mirrors, furniture to give the house a semblance of neatness. OCD me then proceeded to place dettol wipes, glass cleaner, vacuum cleaner NEATLY against corridoor wall in the hope of being able to complete cleaning later in the day. That was Sunday. Today is Wednesday. Everything is as it was on Sunday.
Anyway, after visitors had left, had my classes, found some kids hadn’t practised enough, ranted about the importance of practice, heated up lunch, quick light lunch, left family to eat, got ready for students’ performance at Senior Citizens’ Meet.
Gave a short speech at the beginning, describing India’s national intsrument, how ancient it is, the art of playing the instrument, songs to be played. Was going to go into reflexology, meditation, thank goodness I had a twinge of a senior moment then and forgot what I was going to say. Children played very well. (Videos and photos are on my personal feed and in an arts website). Guests were both touched and enthralled by the music and the beautiful instrument. Am also so proud of the little ones who pulled it all together at such short notice.
Had some tea, and my friend, Anju, who also happens to be my doctor, served me a plate of celery and carrot sticks. I took one, politely declined the rest, then insisted on having a melt in the mouth scone, which I forced her to have too. Heavenly. Only one word to describe the SCONE. See video.
Got home, and in my haste to do 101 little things, I took off the Saree without clicking any shots and that too, I think, because my camera women/stylists were out for a movie and dinner.
So I apologise again. I am draped in a thick grey silk with red, mustard, white borders and Temple korvais, and a simple red, gold and green striped pallu. Gifted to me by an immensely special important person, the last gift before passing on.
Shots show :
1. My back shot, an attempt to replicate Vini’s pose? Albeit a failed attempt .😎🤪
2. Me sampling THAT scone
3. Me telling the world that I wasn’t going to eat the raw sticks but that I was going to have said scone. Video attached.
4. My Saree, border, pallu, as an afterthought.
Have a wonderful week ahead Sakhis😂😂😂🙏😎
