On Feb 27th, we reached Vadodara and stayed the night there. We left the next morning for Pune. The Airbnb we had chosen at Vadodara was very close to the national highway so it was easy to exit in the morning.

I had written earlier about Marie Kondo’s book – Book Review #1/50 – The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying and how I had de-cluttered my sarees. We continued with the de-cluttering exercise and first de-cluttered Krishnan’s suits, shirts, pants and ties.

On Amma’s birthday, I wore the first ever Manipuri Moirangphee saree. I had connected with the Manipuri Handloom Sarees page on FB in 2017 when I found out about the Moirangphee sarees on some saree forum.
