Dear Sis,
The only problem with these ready-made madisArs / panchakachams is that they won't dry easily when 'madi' is needed! ray2:

You may remember that I stitched the inner portion of the madisAr, cutting 3 and 1/2 yards from the 10 yards saree, so that

the longer piece could be worn as a regular saree, after using it as an add-on to the madisAr! It dries up fast too! :thumb:

hi RR madam,
idea maamikku .....madisar kooda idea thaan....lol

..... idea maamikku .....madisar kooda idea thaan....lol

Very true, TBS Sir! I wrote about this in எண்ண அலைகள், Post # 88 in page 9. Here are the lines:

கல்யாண வைபோகமே ..... VIII

இரண்டு நாட்களும் 'மாமி' உடையில் சுற்ற வேண்டுமே;
இரண்டு 'மடிசார்' புடவைகள் கைவசம் வேண்டுமே!

'ரெடிமேட்' ஆடை போல, மூன்று கெஜம் தைத்தால்,
மடிசார் கட்டுவதை மிகவும் எளிமைப் படுத்தலாம்.

தைத்துக் கட்டக் கூடாது என்ற பயமுறுத்தலை ஓரமாய்
வைத்து, இரண்டு புது மடிசார்கள் 'ரெடி' பண்ணியிருந்தேன்!

அஞ்சியபடி மேலும் கீழும் நடக்க வேண்டாம் - மேலும்
எஞ்சிய ஆறு கெஜத்தை, புடவையாகவும் உடுத்தலாம்!

அவையிலிருந்த மாமிகள் கண்டுபிடித்தனர், இதை அன்று;
அவ்வை ஷண்முகி போல என் அனாயாச நடை கண்டு!

There was one problem when I told about this in Ram's village. Some mAmis started commenting that the madisAr saree

should be in ONE piece and should not be cut!! ( 'தைத்துக் கட்டக் கூடாது என்ற பயமுறுத்தலை...' )

Even Sing. Chennai cloth stores have these ready-made madisAr sarees. I have not seen them though!

The stitched dress displayed can neither be ironed nor stored properly!

The madisaar which will defy being maduchified (folded)

The two piece madisaar is much easier to wash, iron and store, since one of

them is a regular sari and the other just has kosuvam in one end.
:thumb:

I too slit two of my saris - one pattu sari and one lottu sari (poly silk sari).

I too gave people surprise by appearing in the same sari in madisaar and

regular in a gap of a few minutes.

They thought that I had two sarees in the same design and color!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Sis,

Though mAmi's of yester years were fated to wear this outfit every day (and night!) they were expert 'jumpers'!

Now that we wear only for a few occasions, this ready made will be real cool! I would suggest to put elastic band
instead of the 'nAdA' to save some more time! eace:

I am really amazed wondering how on earth they managed their pregnancies,

periods and the umpteen other problems women face on regular basis!!!

Hats off to the mamis of the past! :yo:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

hi RR madam,

Mam R.R. is an Ideas Thilagam and Kalaivaani since

she can repair anything and everything in the house

with the ordinary things available in any house!!! :first:

Dear Smt RR

Your post # 18 Oof !

Thank God you didn't post a video of a dim doll dressed in a Madisaar, [ leftist/rightist ] prancing around
with Sylvester Stallone [ in Pancha Kacham, with the forehead aptly adorned to match the Madisaar ]
and gyrating suggestively and provocatively to the beats of Tamil Cinema.

Thanks for that. [ why Stallone? : - because Smt VR doesn't like Schwarzenegger and can't stand the sight
of a famished Oma Kuchchi on a weight controlling diet !]

In the midst of all this, Paddu Sir is coming up with some sane advise. Sir Ji, advise taken, will try not
to let my mind run wild - it's a riot out there, and I am upto my hilt in it.

Guruvethunai
Yay Yem

You watch to many Tamil movies I am sure! :ranger:

If Omaguchchi goes on a diet he will become invisible. :faint:


Already he is visible ONLY because of his unique hair style

resembling the rays of the rising Sun. :flame:

I do not care for hulks and hunks - be it Arnold or Sylvester. :bored:

How to wear a sari in a perfect way! - YouTube


The lady COULD have been mistaken for a mannequin-

until she does a nomashkaar for your patience and interest!!! ray2:

The boy/man must have conquered his indriyas. :whip:

He has them perfectly harnessed despite the :ballchain:

opportunities and the possibilities his job offers him!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

There was a mami who went out in Delhi wearing her double sided and double bordered nine yards saree with a rich pallu.

Lo and behold the double trouble emerged in a jiffy.

A Punjabi giant wanted her sari to be removed and handed over to him on the spot since the jari in the past used to be spun out of pure gold.

She cried for mercy since women usually do not (or rather can not )
wear any under garment/ skirt below the nine yards sari.

The fellow gave his turban and took away her sari. A fine barter!!!

Poor mami came home drenched in tears - wrapped in a smelly stinking turban of a bearded giant punjabi!

.......... I too gave people surprise by appearing in the same sari in madisaar and

Those mAmis have not seen a few others and are ignorant! :loco:

It was a normal practice by many mAmis, even during 60s! They fold the extra three yards as a wrap around

and tie up the rest in the normal way! But, when we make it as a two piece suit (!!) it is much easier to wear!

I don't think so! She moves her hands and talks on cell phone.

I heard a different version. It was a normal six yards saree and the guy told her that his turban will also be about five meters

and she can have it in exchange of her saree! And ......... FYI many mAmis wear leggings now a days!

Those days mAmAs were 'killAdi's. :lol:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Reminds me of the turtle living all its life enclosed between two shells and still proving to be so fertile. I can guess two reasons for this.

1. The mamas knew the loopholes well enogh.

2. The mamis found it easier to manage pregnancies than the monthy periods (in that sari going round and round with a kachcham running between the legs ) and kept of delivering children during their entire fertitlity period.

Luckily God had made sure that there would be 2 to 3 years' gap between successive successful pregnancies.

So in a fertility period of 40 years they could sill produce 13 children!

Killaadi = player = playboy???

If it were a six yards saree mami must have had some kind of skirt underneath the

sari and won't be left high and dry like Droupadi on a Delhi road in broad daylight!

Nine yards over leggings.

They are practically sealed even from the killaadi mamas.

I don't think I can stand like a statue

without any expressions whatever

while a boy goes round me tying a sari. :nono:

With a background music,
it will become a short movie -
the most viewed perhaps???

It may be alright for the pencil-thin people.
For those who are rettai-naadi or rettai-body
already appearing to be wearing
two saris in the place of one sari,
this will increase their volume tremendously. :bowl:

 

[Raji Ram]

There is a saying 'மாமா கதிரு போல; மாமி குதிரு போல!'

So mAmis are supposed to be fat!

Why 'supposed' to be? Most mamis are fat and :mmph: !!!

Last week in gunasselam temple near srirangam, I saw a young iyengar couple (around 25) in panchakachcham/namam and madisar, doing special puja for the new born, accompanied by the girl's parents. They, from the affluent US, had perhaps come to worship their kula/ishta devata.

Some years ago, it was easy to spot the young NRIs from their deportment, paraphernalia and equipment (handy cam etc.) they carry; nowadays it is a bit more difficult. In any temple utsavams, one will find many panchakachcham mamas shooting with a handycam or mobile cam.

All professional politicians in tamilnadu wear spotless white doti and shirt and vibhuti and will never be caught wearing pants. Irrespective of what they do do outside, they get as close to the garbagraha as brahmins in the past.

It will be nice if tambrams wear veshti and panchakachchan during temple visit.

tbs Sir

you know one thing? Madisar, Pavadai Dhavani , these are the most revealing attractive dresses.
My mother was wearing all the time only Madisar, also my grand ma, Aunt and other older generation.

I was the 7 th issue for my parents, and behind me another 5!!!

My dad was a Post master and house attached to post office; he can move in between home and office as he likes!!
Remember, in those days, no Radio, TV, no other entertainment.. what else to do...if i continue more Raji Madam
Adippa!!!

P J Sir correctly guessed my reaction! :lol:
