Draped the same saree twice a few days apart.
One for a morning function, a quick, easy, light drape, and
The other, for a casual dinner at a friend’s home.
Saree is a light, paper thin printed silk with grey and yellow flowers, and yellow and gold borders.
Mum’s saree.
She left it behind, when she visited last April to June. Mum and sis in law visited for a few months last year and when they left, we went on a European vacation. In hindsight and don’t we all wish we had hindsight,
we would have extended their stay, extended our vacation and visited more countries..
Mum also left another beautiful Kerala kasavu saree, but that’s for another post.
This saree, simple yet loud, is much like my mum.
Big hearted, compassionate, her name is Annapoorani and she cooks and feeds like Annapporani.
Anyone who walks into our home is overfed, and food is packed and sent to friends and family.
Draping this saree is comforting, and I feel her love and warmth on my skin through the soft caress of the silk.
Missing you, Mum, not sure when we will be able to physically visit each other.
Photos are of me after the morning function, a little tired, and after the dinner, drowsy after the wonderful meal.
Blouse is a gold embroidered matching mismatch.
