"The Sari, it is said, was born on the loom of a fanciful weaver. He dreamt of Woman. The shimmer of her tears. The drape of her tumbling hair. The colors of her many moods. The softness of her touch. All these he wove together. He couldn't stop. He wove for many yards. And when he was done, the story goes, he sat back and smiled and smiled and smiled". --Unknown quote
This made me smile for some reason :)
A friend of mine and I were discussing how the saree is the prefect outfit for all women irrespective of age or body type and makes the lady look beautiful. Now, if only I could master the art of walking in one without all the pletes bunching up forcing me to do the ungraceful kick-n-walk!
