In August 1990, I went with Krishnan and my mom-in-law to a sari store in Chetpet called Varadarams. On the way there, Krishnan braked suddenly at the traffic signal in front of Pachayappas college and the bike fell sideways. I sat on the road. Neither one of us […]
For me the onset of October in Delhi means pulling out all my silk sarees and storing away the cotton sarees. Thats the best part of being in Delhi NCR – distinct weather for which you need to change the fabric of your clothes ! I love winters […]
I did not know that there was a World Saree Day and that it was being celebrated on Dec 21st. I saw my twin sister Anu Varshney’s post and realised that now we had a special day for the saree too !! For me though, every day is […]
The last week was a hectic week with several meetings and travel thrown in … but also a very satisfying week spent in beautiful saris. Here’s the week in saris – 25-07-2016 – A Kanchi cotton to stay cool. This is a Co-optex Kanchi cotton that I am […]

Geetu and I have been friends forever … 36 years and on April 2nd, Harish and her daughter Gayatri got married to Jay. The way I like to say it – Geetu is the nicer, proper, sweeter version and I am the rebel element. Its such a special […]

On the W3 (women, weave, world) page there is a spurt of these Paalum Pazhamum saris and I guess thats what prompted me to pull this one out to wear today. I have three of the Paalum Pazhamum type checks. This is a beautiful combination of copper sulphate […]
I have some special memories attached with two of these saris. Also each of these saris is made of different fabrics – a crepe, a Kanchivaram dual tone silk and a cotton. BTW, all photo credits for me in different saris go to Krishnan :). He not only […]
We bought this sari in 2013 at RmKV, Bangalore. Krishnan just loved the design and the color. This is a soft silk, no starch Kanchivaram. It almost feels like a chiffon or crepe and drapes really well. There is a little bit of design on the Pallu in […]
