This is a post,
In Admiration,
And Celebration
of
my beautiful Sareeing Sakhis
who
bravely don sarees,
amidst this horrific pandemic.
I read each post, tinged with sadness, yet also positivity.
Covid has hit hard, close to home for so many, yet they pick themselves up, envelop themselves in the Saree’s embrace,
and plod on.
I sit here, in my beautiful country, watching news channels, churning out sadness after sadness.
I think of my mum, sisters, sisters-in-law in different continents, and wonder when I will physically meet them.
I call my mum, and speak about food, friends, her grandchildren.
I video chat with my sisters, one at work, one in her kitchen or garden.
I can do nothing except pray, hope, offer some monetary support, put out some positive vibes..
And Dive into,
Bury myself in,
Work, Home, Music.
So, for a change
Decided to visit a friend.
Draped my favourite teal blue linen silk, with royal blue checked borders, white and teal striped pallu.
Looks like our clear blue wintry morning sky, in certain lighting.
Absolutely smooth and comfy, an easy drape.
My first linen, purchased some years ago, when I went to get two sarees for my girls,
And rewarded myself for the effort,
with an additional two sarees.
Daughters firmly told me to post a single shot, but
Vanity in my old age,
and
Rule #6
have got the better of me.
