A day in sari

Sari, the traditional dress of Indian women is a rather long piece of cloth and nothing more. It is the brain of some ancient Indian fashion designer which found out that a rather simple cloth of piece can be worn in such a confounded way to maximise the restriction to movement. Women of various states then found out various ways to get around this problem. The result is the varied ways of wearing sari that we find now. It can be said that it is the dress which has undergone the maximum number of 'experiments'.
Well, now to the topic. Mother helped me wear the sari. That was the least complicated part of all. I found I could not move half as fast as I usually do, after I had worn the sari. I salute all the women who run in their saris to board the buses. Really ladies, you are something!
I took five minutes to get down the stairs. The plaits were always blocking my way! Then came the road. It has a rising slope and I was exhausted by the time I reached the main road. Crossing the road took another ten minutes. I couldn't run and so I had to wait till the road was cleared of vehicles.
Then there was the way back - forget about it. I found out one thing about me - You will have to try real hard to make me wear a sari again!

Bored!

I am having that feeling - you really need to do something to keep your head but can't find anything sensible to do! You would love to paint the whole town red but can't find the paintbrush - that's my condition right now.

I am waiting for getting involved in some kind of activity which will interest me. Unfortunately, I can't find any.

It is interesting to find that my moods and sensex follow the same cycle- when I feel happy, the sensex goes up and vice versa. Seems like I can make a lot of money if this phenomenon lasts for long :-)

We have our Electronite today. It is going to be an extravaganza of cultural events. I am, however rather weak on dance and music. ( which means that I can't dance or sing, but would love to watch others perform!) So I am 'jobless' now.

I really want to do something interesting
