Sari and Women

Often I wonder why all women look extremely pretty when they wear saris. Is it the color or is it the way it is tied or... some unknown secret? One fine day a close relative of yours announces about their wedding, the next thought for women goes straight to the sari shops. OK chill! I am in to this league :D

So when the sari hunt begins a league of women attack the sari shop. The hub for sari shopping in Chennai is T.Nagar. The order of the visit may change... It can range from the " vivaaaaaahaaaa the Chennai Silks" to the Sneha style "Polllllaamaaa" Saravana Stores. Anyways forget it! The blogger is a little weak in this area hence her destination to shop is a little different.

In many cases I've noticed that the duration of time taken to select a sari is directly proportional to the time for which the husband waits outside the store. Some shops like Naidu hall are considerate enough to put chairs outside for people to make themselves comfortable. :P OK so finally the sari/saris is/are selected and next comes the "Blouse mania". "Anda Meera jasmine Potundu varuvaaley anda maari blouse stitch pannunga" Seri! Meera jasmine potunda nanna irukkum... aana Jeera Jasmine potunda?? :P It so happens that in most cases the attached blouse material that comes with the sari is not sufficient enough. So adukku oru kutty hunt!!

Now the sari and the blouse is all ready!! So as THE day approaches the excitement is very high and people are smiling all wide :D. For the first time sari kattufying league of girls, the walk is going to be like that of a delicate darling. The reason behind this is that you always have a fear of tripping and falling in front of the public. The other reason is that the girl (if lean) would have used 'n' million pins to support the sari. ;) So careful ah daan handil pannanum.

When it comes to experienced women the approach is pretty casual. They are very busy discussing the material as if it is anyway going to bother the other party. "Oh!! idu silk cotton ah! paaka pattu maariye irukey mami" In some cases the weight of the sari is much greater than the weight of the person wearing it. The color description is something that we definitely have to appreciate. They are so good at describing it(ranging from ramar pachai to mayil kazhuthu blue).

One real life incident is that I had got one sari for some family function. My brother being away from home, I showed him my sari through the webcam. I was expecting a reaction like "wow... so amazing... such a good taste you have" but, his reaction for showing him the sari was "Hmmm..." Aiyo semmuthiya bulb yerinjuthu! :'( I don't blame him as I know most guys do not over react.

There is something I wish to share. In real life no woman/girl would like somebody else to wear a sari just like hers. The reason is not known but at times even the blogger tends to think like that.

On the whole the 'concept of sari' can bring about various emotions of a girl/woman that includes happiness(when her favourite guy is around her), feeling sad( when you don't get the sari of your choice), jealousy( when somebody wears a sari better than yours), possessiveness ( you are the sole properietor of the design)

Saring off,
