Six yards of sheer magic.
Yes,the saree is six yards of sheer magic.The only unstitched fabric in the world which is so popular.It can be draped the way your mood dictates. it can be flirtatious,sexy,sensual.pious,authoritative,bored,warm,happy and many more myrid moods could be covered.You can drape it to cover your flaes or highlight your curves.It could be used as a rag cloth,apron or a dress.The pallu could act as a napkin,dishcloth or kerchief to wipe tears and nose.It can envelope the child in your lap.The warmth of my mothers lap wrapped in her pallu was heaven. The masala smell from her saree and the softness of her tummy still lingers in me.The sense of security and love my mom's saree offered nothing else has.
A flapping of the floral printed georgette saree was enough to make boys miss their heartbeats when I was in college.A slight slip of the pallu was enough to excite my spouse. I could literally tie him to my pallu.The saree was a boon to feed children in public. Nothing seen but work done.A starched cotton saree spelt that I do not tolerate nonsense,in the workplace.In many a meetings the printed silk saree made people sit up and listen to me. A beautiful kannjeevaram made other women jealous and men glance a second time.Many heights can be scaled, many things can be achieved all because of a six yards of magic the SAREE.

Crystal stair

Life for us hasn’t been a crystal stair.

It’s had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor—

Bare.

But all the time

We have been climbing on,

And reaching landings,

And turning corners,

And sometimes going in the dark

Where there has been no light.

So son, don’t turn back.

Don’t set down on the steps

Because you will find it’s hard.

For I am still going,

I am still climbing’,

And life for us hasn’t been a crystal stair.
