The Colours Are Calling

Navratri and Durga Puja are around the corner. And with, it the air is filled with the colours of festivity. Back in our childhood there was shopping to do, and showing off our new dresses to our friends. Well, visiting a friend's house to see the Puja dresses was almost a ritual.

This Navratri I want to take on a new challenge - wear Sarees on all nine days. I know it's going to be a task and I will need lot of motivation to start and keep going, to find the Sarees to wear, the accessories to match, the time to get into all these before rushing to work and after finishing the morning chores.

Looked through Ma's Sarees and added a few to wear during Navratra, hope wherever she is, she knows that I plan to wear them. It would be nicer a sight to see her wear new Sarees but there are situations which are beyond our control.

It gives a kind of numbness when I browse through her Sarees, it's a feeling to which I can't put words into, it feels like a dream that someone who wore these Sarees is gone for ever but still I feel there is some life in them, I feel a bit of her presence in these Sarees.

Ready to welcome Navratras, to feel the colours, to feel life I have arranged some of my and Ma's Sarees which I plan to wear....
