Saree Wearing

The day and time were fixed. So yesterday morning, I was already at my customer/friend's place. She had already worn her saree ready. When I entered her house, it was cool as the AC was on. Great! Otherwise I would definitely sweat due to my excitement.

She took me to her room which was also air-conditioned. How nice of her! She asked me to choose the color and immediately I chose orange/purple set. Both colors are my favorite colors!

I quickly wore the blouse and the skirt.


Then she started to tie the saree for me. Very professional and quick too..


It's done!

Then she wore the ear-rings, necklace and pottu for me.


Last but not least, the delicate bangles!



We hurried downstairs as her daughter must be bored waiting for us. She was our photographer.

My kind friend added final touch to the decorative area..

Photography session started..
More photos at my facebook..

Next, I was challenged by my friend to go to my shop and surprise everyone there. I was hesitating but she gave me a stern order, "Go!"

So we went. She entered my shop first and everyone was surprised!

I stood at the counter and kept saying "Vanakam" to my customers. They were so happy to see me in Indian costume.

It was indeed a fun day. I stayed for some time before I returned the saree to my sweet friend.

It's such a memorable day!

Thank you my dearest friend for giving me this golden opportunity!

    My! You look stunning in saree! I prefer to wear Punjabi suits 'salwar kameez' as it is more comfortable.

    You looked very nice in the Indian Saree! You should enter the Mrs Deepavali Queen contest next year! So start learning the Indian dances now! Go and borrow the Hindi MTV cds to watch how Aiswarya Rai does her dancing.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
