Hola!
What if you are on a job that keeps you glued to the seat, and many times just elapses unknowingly becoming plodded. Agreed, it does keep me on my toes and my head running. Amidst this, planning a colorful day, especially while working for a company that is live and not the back-end support types, is not easy.
A common union or, more aptly a small form of celebration is ethnic day. Yes, it was gradually planned after a couple of procrastination’s; This is because women usually drape saree and men in kurta as ethnic wear, not always the state dress, which is actually meant to be. Yes, everyone is aware that saree it the traditional Indian wear. Nevertheless, today’s women, including me don’t often drape it that regularly as earlier women in our age.
Well, is it the ease to wear? I don’t think so, because my mother, aunt or an old neighbor carry it much easily and do house hold chores. Unquestionably, it’s because of practice/habit coupled with serious attempt of aping western cultural trends that, today saree it not a daily wear anymore, in cities. Nonetheless, to the best of what I know, heard or seen, village woman in Western and Southern Indian states drape saree everyday.
Today’s informal corporate gatherings, is an attempt to keep saree tradition alive and ethnic day is a medium.
Here is a capture from ethnic day celebration at work….
Krishna and gopika 🙂

It sounds like a lovely new tradition has been born at your office! When I visited India, I purchased a lovely sari, and was even fitted for the blouse. Sadly, I haven’t had an occasion to wear it yet. Thank you for reminding me that it’s still there, waiting for me.
Wow that nice. Do wear it once and post it. Love to see you…….
