In our so called, Western lives, women today
are so engrossed in making money and living life as it comes, that of all the
things, wearing a sari would be the last thing on our minds. Imagine having to deal with
a piece of fabric that is 6 yards long, instead of a pair of jeans and a t-shirt! The article linked below, touches the Indianess we all have, but
seldom show. The author in a very subtle way touches our heart and reminds us
of the complexity, yet the simplicity, the rarity, yet the commonness of the Indian
culture in our own lives. It is a way to tell ourselves that while we may adopt
Western ways, the Indian spirit will never leave us.
