Hi guys!!
I have been down with second bout of the flu, and got up early so came to see what is new with all of you.. and I found this thread, I gather this was started some time ago, so I went through the entire postings, I was laughing and shared it with my husband as well.. I needed this cheer after three to four days suffering..
anyway, coming to the actual subject
I also feel that sarees are disappearing from the Indian
movie scenes.. but it it so thriving in all the Indian soaps, whether it is tamil, telugu or hindi etc..
I don't think that saree will ever disappear but will keep reinventing itself in many ways, a lot of the ball gowns imitate the sari... For me I love the saree no doubt, and I love the fact that I look my best in a saree, not that i cannot carry other garments well, but being who I am comes out in my saree.. and have collected a ton of them, that is one maya I have to give up also.. next in my list..
On the movie " Kanchana" I saw a dubbed version in telugu, the character " Kanchana was it Sarath Kumar Radhika's husband??? whoever he was, he acted so well, when I saw the commercial, I was dreading to watch it..but after I watched the movie, I was so glad I did.. I always had respect for the " aravanis". In my teenage days I read a story about a mother giving her child away to the Aravanis and much much later, when the child appears on her doorstep she instinctively knows that it is her child seeing a big beautiful mole on her face.. at that moment I felt so defeated, as if it happened to me.. how could a mother give up her own child.. I cannot imagine doing something like that..
On a lighter note here is
the old and here is the new
Have great day, evening, wherever you are..
Subhalakshmi
