I had always bought #saris from market. The reason was that I had enough time to visit markets and could find any kind of #saree available in the market. Unlike metropolitan cities it is easier to visit and stroll in the market in smaller cities. Almost everyday after school (when I was working as an educator) I with my colleagues cum friends used to visit the market either to have our evening meal or to shop cosmetics or clothing or just to hop. I had enough time in the evening to shop, eat and then gyming. I believe every human life should be like this. Working late till 7-8 means you start your own day at night and then end up having late dinner or nothing at all as not everyone is blessed with someone who could prepare there meal. Anyway, I was about to say that this Chanderi Silk saree is the first one that I bought online from 😊 @admyrin . That was the time I got confident to buy saris online. Well, the earring was bought by my husband from Bundi, Rajasthan and #gotapatti bangle from @rajasthanirangrez . This is my 16th for #21days21sarees for National Handloom Day. @thebohobaalika @sareesaatsamundarpaar @lipstik_in_the_city . . #handmadeinindia #prebuylocal #prebuyhandloom #handloom #handmade #weavesofindia #craftscouncilofindia #sareelove #lovedrapingsaree #21days21sarees2 #silksarees #onlineshop #bongbeauties #chanderisilksaree #sareeswag #westbengalhandloom #newdelhi #admyrin #bloggerlifestyle #chanderisilk #nationalhandloomday https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmH3lOgXY4/?igshid=dmfgid31c02z

This teal green sophisticated saree is another one that I love to wear. The colour combination is all that attract it and the mild thread work in between brings up the aura of this beautiful saree. This is also a gift from my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Every woman's wardrobe loves to have a red saree in it. I have quite a few in my wardrobe. This beautiful cotton silk saree with kutch work is also a gift to me by my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. 🤗 A simple look and a beautiful attire is all we need to show up ourselves. I love the katha stiched blouse that I bought straight from Bolpur, West Bengal. 😉 I know it's cheating but I cannot help as it's already 6th and I have only 12 pics uploaded out of 21. So, pardon me for that. 😜 This post is for #21sarees21days by @thebohobaalika and @lipstik_in_the_city and @sareesaatsamundarpaar . . . . #handmadeinindia #prebuylocal #prebuyhandloom #handloom #handmade #weavesofindia #craftscouncilofindia #sareelove #lovedrapingsaree #21days21sarees2 #durgapuja2019 #kutchwork #bongbeauties #cottonsilk #gift #sareeswag #westbengalhandloom #newdelhi #bloggerlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjxdRgBfCv/?igshid=ez6cc4oe6c9l

Jamdani sarees are all bongs favourite. This blue #jamdanisaree is a gift from my maternal aunt (choto mami) and is one of my favourites as blue is one of my favourite colours. I love the design and the comfort that I get in it. So this saree post is for #21sarees21days by @thebohobaalika @lipstik_in_the_city and @sareesaatsamundarpaar . . #handmadeinindia #prebuylocal #prebuyhandloom #handloom #handmade #weavesofindia #craftscouncilofindia #sareelove #lovedrapingsaree #21days21sarees2 #cottonfabric #dhakaiyajamdani #bongbeauties #bengalisaree #gift #noidadiaries #sareeswag #westbengalhandloom #newdelhi #durgapuja #bloggerlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjhcNAgDv1/?igshid=rmt1nvdh7ou1

When it comes to saree I can't trust anyone else then my mother. She won't stop hopping from one shop to the other until she gets her hand to the best one. This simple Orange Cotton Printed Saree is again a gift from her. Cotton sarees are perfect wear for everyday purposes. I have a dozen of them and I got them all as gifts. Ain't I lucky? 😉 Anyway, did you notice the surrounding in the picture and me walking bare footed. This is the Paradise for me! Well, this is my in-laws place where the house is surrounded by trees and various kinds of plants and where I can feel the grass and the earth. A peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. A place where one can relax and rejuvenate. It's not all about the house but also about the society where everyone passes a smile and never let you feel lonely. A place where I get up and go out to see the tailor birds chirping in and out their nest, the flowers blooming bright and the veggies look so fresh in the plants. This was the same feeling when I used to visit my maternal grandma's home. I feel like I got back the same life again. Life is different their. I love Delhi but I enjoy living their too. Two different places with two different lifestyle. Perhaps, I believe the village lifestyle is healthier than those living in metropolitan city. . .

Perhaps the last one to post a pic on NATIONAL HANDLOOM DAY 😁 Well, I was waiting the whole day for my photographer husband to get ready to click some pics. WFH is harder as meetings keep you seated in one place almost for the whole day with the earphones attached on. The one hour in between goes away like 10 mins. So, without disturbing my man and with some patience I waited till the dusk and finally got some shots. 😉 . . I picked up this Cotton Khadi saree from Shonajhuri Haat (market) in Shantiniketan, Bolpur. The earrings are also from the same place and had also picked up many more stuffs from there. It is of course a must visit place in Bolpur. The neck piece and the pink cloth bangal are also from Bolpur but from Nabanna Exhibition where all kinds of handicraft things were displayed in the stalls and the blouse is from everyday market. The #gotapatti bangles are from @rajasthanirangrez . . I missed a few days in uploading pictures for the 21days journey so it's my 15th pic now. I enjoyed the thrill of getting ready and post pictures in the midst of a busy life. Life became to dull after the pandemic and #21days21sarees challenge brought life. Getting ready for a photoshoot was quite exciting these days. As I support #handloom and love wearing them, my support for #handloomattire will continue forever. @thebohobaalika @lipstik_in_the_city @sareesaatsamundarpaar . . #handmadeinindia #prebuylocal #prebuyhandloom #handloom #handmade #weavesofindia #craftscouncilofindia #sareelove #lovedrapingsaree #21days21sarees2 #cottonfabric #dhakaiyajamdani #bongbeauties #bengalisaree #gift #khadicotton #sareeswag #westbengalhandloom #newdelhi #shantiniketan #shonajhurihaat #bloggerlifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmHBBlATe-/?igshid=4ovkujit9ksw
