Cotton saree in gurgaon,Georgette sarees in gurgaon

What is a saree? When we hear the word saree, it is just the name of another
piece of clothing for us but if we ask the same question to our mother, would the
answer be any different? Is saree just a piece of clothing for them as well? Is it
just another item in their closet? Well, I can’t be speaking for anyone else, but
when I asked my mother about saree the answer was very different, something
that I have not expected.

Her face instantly lit up and for once she was actually pleased with my question
and didn’t scream at me. I have this habit of asking questions about most of her
customary habits. When unable to explain and annoyed by my constant
interrogation she would yell at me real loud. And this was the case in most of
the situations but somehow not this time. She neither yelled nor asked me to do
something else. Instead, she got really interested in answering my question.

She sat me down and started reminiscing about her past. She told me how my
grandmother used to drape only cotton sarees and despised any other fabric.
She told me that she would admire my grandmother’s sarees a lot and would
often drape them to look just like her. Her childhood has been about trying to
drape as many sarees from my grandmother’s closet as she can. She told me
that it was her favourite pass-time and she would often be scolded for messing
with the closet but she never really cared as long as she got to wear the saree.
Her love for saree was immaculate at that time and it still was.

She told me that she learnt about the different fabrics and types of saree from
grandmother’s closet only. Every time there would be a messed up saree lying
on the floor, the grandmother would shout who “left my precious banarasi silk
saree on the floor”. So the love continued from her childhood till now. She took
me to her room and opened her wardrobe and I was awestruck. I wasn’t aware
that she had such a huge collection of sarees with her. I could see almost all the
recognisable colours in her closet. There was a wide range of patterns from
some being just bordered while others being heavily printed. I don’t know much
about the sarees so couldn’t work it out which is which.

Seeing me so much puzzled, my mother just named a few from her collection.
There was kanjeevaram, banarasi silk, bandhani, Doria, chanderi, chikankari
etcetera. I asked her that I don’t see her shopping much so how does she get
hold of such beautiful sarees. She opened her phone and showed me the
website of bandini sarees, www.bandinisarees.com. I was amazed to see their
collection of designer sarees. Not only sarees but also the designer blouses and
the potli bags.

My mother got so excited that she took me out with her for buying saree the
same day. She told me that she likes the cotton sarees the most and that there
are few good shops for cotton sarees in Gurgaon. After cotton sarees, her
next preference was georgette sarees. She has even identified the shops that
sell the most beautiful georgette sarees in Gurgaon. We went to both the
shops to buy a piece of each, cotton as well as georgette saree. My mother
was really happy that day and I had a day well spent with her. We decided to go
out more often. At last, she said that saree is not just a piece of clothing, it is an
emotion for every Indian woman.
