Its my final year at college and in about a few months time I'll be out there in the big bad world!! This will be my last time to celebrate Day's in college...and the most dreaded day is the Saree day!! I know...the Saree brings out the elegance of the Indian women and all that!! But frankly wearing one all day can be really frustrating!! But this time I'm going to have to wear a Saree...just for the sake of one photograph of the entire class...so that we could swoon on it in the coming years!! Its not like i don't have many pics with all my friends...i have loads of them....a hard drive full of memories of these past four years. But still this one would be special and i have to look really special!!
So then, I began my search for a Saree. I scanned my mom's wardrobe for something that would catch my eye. But couldn't find anything good...u know how it is....the generation gap and all...i rarely like my moms choices and the one's which i found to my liking were too old!! So then i went Saree shopping or rather Saree hunting with my mom. This was the first time i was shopping for a Saree for myself...earlier it was always for my mom and i used to just say yes whenever she asked my opinion to any of the Saree's which interested her...coz i knew if i said no she would go to the next shop...and i would have to wait even longer till she finally found something nice!! But this time it was my turn to select one and i was sooo confused!!
There are so many types of Sarees...silk,cotton, netted and what not...and again there are different types of silk Saree's and varieties of cotton Saree's!! Gosh!!...It's a tough job to select one!! After checking out in about four to five shops I finally zeroed in on one pretty cotton Saree which caught my eye!! I think it will make me look good!
Once the Saree was done I had to think something about the jewellery.....it should go perfectly with my Saree...i bought a pretty gold pendant which matched my Saree perfectly...and also bangles to go with it!!
Then comes the footwear...thankfully i did not have to buy those....i already had a matching pair!! I still have to think about how m going to wear my hair and then m done and I'll be all set for the 'D' day and for clicking more memories!!

LOL, in our institute, Girls don't essentially need to suit up in a saree, for them even Salwaar kameez would do, as far as the elegance of Indian dress is concerned.
But why would footwear be so crucial, I wonder. It is always overshadowed by the falling folds of saree in the photograph :P

Uff... once I went for shopping with my sis and that was so dreadful, I came to know how much it can be hard shopping with a girl. :P
Well, next year I will also be passing out and so will be looking for a suit. :)
