True Piyali! Reminds me of my mom and me! I too, wear so much I wouldn’t generally, just to indulge her! But my daughter doesn’t and I don’t impose on her either…. So we got to get used to the fact that legacies being passed on, is a thing of the past…. Practical logic is gradually taking over…..even in royalty. Its sad but true…. Sad for the industry.

Thanks Mrs Gulati. Saris will always be in demand, they are not going out of fashion anytime soon. I can vouch for that. Your daughter would want to wear them too maybe someday when she is little older and married perhaps 🙂

Nicely done, Piyali! A conversation on many traditional things, between parents and children, all necessary part of growth.

A beautiful story, Piyali. Mothers and daughters may not always see eye to eye but there is always that special bond that helps us in understanding each other.

I am always glad I listened to my mother and showed respect for her “treasures.” They may have come from her mother, father or a simple handmade items with beads she sewed on to edges of dresses. 👗👚
I appreciate the time you took to really tell a story about the sari’s. Hugs, Robin

Thank you for reading and responding, Robin. Mothers are special and they deserve every bit of our love and respect 🙂 I treasure everything that my mum does for me because I know every gesture comes from a place of great love and affection 🙂

I’m so happy you love and respect your dear mother. I do feel this same deep love for my own mother. I am so blessed to have an 89 year old Mom.
Your mum sounds like a special, dear woman! I liked how you used the word, “treasure” when speaking of your mum. 💞

The word Treasure comes from the fact that mums are precious 🙂
