In English we say,
A fabric that’s at least six yards long, worn by Indian women.
In poetry we say,
A fabric that carries memories and fragrance
Of our grandmother and mother.
A fabric that is our solace,
Giving us warmth.
A fabric that sniffles with us in our tears,
And chuckles with us in our laughter.
A fabric that’s woven with passion,
And conveys stories of the weavers.
A fabric that sings to the traditional tunes,
Is our companion through our rituals.
Six-yards, nine-yards or ten-yards,
No matter the length, sari is an emotion.
A fabric, that’s my identity,
A fabric that I drape with pride,
My very own Sari.
