Mother-In-Law's Beauty!!!

 Yet another silk bandhej saree with gota border from my mother in law’s closet.. loved this color combo and this tricky reflects the bright, colorful and lively mindset I want to have ..

                 
ज्ञानी कह गए है : A lot should go in ones mind before one speaks .. alas that’s not me .. what is on my mind is already coming out of my mouth.. sometimes it’s a race too!! जो जीता वोहि सिकंदर!! 😂

How many times have you felt pent up, frustrated and uncomfortable because you had to carefully choose your words and could not say what you really wanted to say to someone .. would you not love to be free of that bondage ..

For me what also does not work is that my facial expression gives away If I am saying something else and feeling something else .. not sure if that’s a latent I should have mastered differently !! 😇🤩 how tht has impacted my personal & professional life may very well be a series of SS posts .. 🥳  

                        
Went to Avani's house to get ready and then to Tannavis house for tea.. so a half was was meant to be..Tanu is here so having so much fun with her, glad that she is also enthu to participate in such events! 

                    

                    
                         

                                                            Here's a relaxed me ....
                                       
 





        
Finally, in the evening we headed to our final destination of Shree Roopa's house dinner!! and man her mom cooks amazing food.. beautiful backyard with flowers and veggies .. Met Piny, Priya, Rums, Mani and Shompita along with a few others... it was a mini saree speak gathering .. thanks dear Shree Roopa!! 


My regulars of SS gang were there with me for my giggles and jokes... They all accept me as I am and glad to have this sisterhood in Chicago!!

Raksha Bandhan special!!

 Kuch khas hai aaj ka din! wore a brand new teal color embroidered chiffon saree, a unique one if I may say so!


It’s rakshabandhan .. a day dedicated to brothers and sisters ka Anmol bonding ..
Just enjoyed immensely a day of festivities since my sis in law is visiting and after ages she gets to tie rakhee to her brother and loomba ( rakhee for bhabhi) to me 🤩😇




It was such a nice day emotionally fulfilling and soothing to our tummies too - 😃 poori, aloo ki gravy wali sabji, kheer and mirch ki hing wali sookhi sabji .. all rasoi by none other than my dearest nanad Swati Sharma





And the best gift ever - she wore a saree and we had a ji bhar ke photoshoot !! Aur ky chaiye 🥰😇🙏


rakhee for our rocky is a must too...

Pooja @ our home.... !!

 




This is a very special day, super duper hot in Chicago - annual tradition of Satnarayan katha at my home. But still planned to wear this heavy look wala lightweight saree .. loved every moment of wearing this.. I was pahele skeptical about the saree since I have never worn something like this before .. but this really brought out the new bride look in me,
A silk Banaras wali sari with beautiful golden weaves .. Selective jewelry for this special day ..






With my baby Rocky who kept wondering why is mommy dear looking this way!








How can I not mention my fav saree speak lifelines from Chicago and my neighborhood gang who graced the occasion .. Ninette Helsaba Abraham Tannavi Jaiswal Avani Deshpande Ramani Deolalikar,Richa, Sangeeta, Yogita , Neha , Meenakshi, Renuka & Goma!


             




It's raining flowers in my aanchal!!

 





Beauty of this saree stole my heart away 

🤩
This is one odd color that I don’t have in my saree ka personal khazana .. mostly it’s all other colors but this .. and o am glad I have this now 😇

I was indeed a happy soul when I got this from one of my saree Sakhee Ramani for sankranti .. celebrated her birthday at Nanidia's.

Went camping over the weekend to Wisconsin and while the day 1 was full of sunshine ☀️ masti and fun and late nights .. the next day was ☔️ thunderstorms and even a tornado 🌪 watch.. needless to say we came back .. ab looking forward to next time ⛺️ !!

Saree of the day is a net saree with white embroidered flowers that brighten my day !!
