When I took out a new saree to wear for work yesterday, I found a matching blouse to go along but it's edges were not stitched so that would mean bare threads hanging loose which is a strict no-no for saree wearers. The threads would keep coming off the weave and leave the saree weaker in fabric. So we have to get the edges stitched when its new.
I must have been blinking what to do because my 83 year-old mother took the saree from me and asked me to wait for 15 minutes. She just went across our street to her tailor's shop to get the edges stitched. We in India are blessed if we live in a locality which has all kinds of shops around.
As she came in smiling with mission successful, I could not but kiss her hand for her motivation to see me in a new saree.
I wore the saree to work and through the day I could feel her love and affection wrap around me.
Jai ho to a mother's love.
Mahalakshmi
