In pursuit of silk sari

In   pursuit of silk sari   

Read the variety of weavers and looms

in webs  and links  and  papers and TV ads,

much awaited discounts and   mega sales,

reach to get on showrooms much ahead!

Counter to counter varieties’ galore,

colors parade and  chequered   designs,

all in front of you, in broad spectrums,

eyes enchanted but mind still bemused.

At last, you pick one to cross check

if attached with blouse, broad pallu,

go for trimming and packing with

elegant box in cloth cover handy.

Straight it goes  into your wardrobe,

hanger  taking longer care;though

a fresh piece, you unfold it to let

air free and flexi   silken touch on.

Now comes the pleasant task of

choosing one auspicious day

and avoiding inauspicious time

to deck your much liked sari.

Greater surprise your grand daughter

next  morn  enrobes your  sari!
