Life without Limits

Life without limits. The motto of the organisation I work for. Inspiring.
Who is it meant for?

I have a wonderful, elderly client who wanted to be able to use a smartphone independently, confidently. Lessons commenced. At the end of the training period, said client was able to independently call, text, use YouTube. He wanted to know about social media and email, and I asked him why he’d want to do that, when he had never done it before. Personally, I believed he wouldn’t have any use for it and so I asked him to call me back in a few months, telling him to practise and reinforce what he’d been taught.
I didn’t expect the call months later. He said his family were insisting that he be trained on email and Facebook. And so with a lot of trepidation, we started our training. An hour to an hour and a half each week. We worked on emails, then moved onto social media, went on to web browsing, music, recording voice memos, adaptive daily living apps and before we knew it, we were done. At every class, we’d clarify any queries. Sometimes, when I’d ask him if he’d like to revise anything, he’d say he was good with that. He told me that whenever he couldn’t sleep, he would listen to the recordings of lessons at 2am and that was how he was able to get everything down to a pat.

And there you have it. The answer to my question.
I suppose this is what is meant by living life without limits.
It’s not just the person who is meant to live the unlimiting or limitless life, but the people in his life, who are meant to encourage, empower and believe in the person’s capabilities.
Similarly so for the six yard stretch of material.
Versatile. Unlimiting. Limitless in its possibilities, in its use.

A much loved, well worn light cotton to cook in, a rich silk for a temple visit, concert or performance, a tussar silk for en evening dinner, a bespoke, designer Saree for an Awards night – the options, choices are endless.
And so, here I am in various sarees to illustrate that this simple, humble drape, that has adorned our women for aeons, is limitless in its use, has, dare I say, like us women, boundless, immeasurable latent energy, waiting to be unleashed.
A Saree for dosai making, a Saree for puja, a Saree for a performance, a Saree for a celebrity awards function.
And in all this, the Saree has the ability to make one feel confident, beautiful, on top of the world, loved and knowing that one can live life without limits. Stay blessed Saree Sakhis.
