This day we left at 6:00 in the morning and drove all the way from Chennai to Tiruchirappalli (otherwise known as Trichy). It was about a 5-hour drive. We left early because we were only going to be in Trichy just for the day then planned to return to Chennai later that night.
I had no idea that later that day I would eventually be wrapped in a sari while I was there. It was a pleasant surprise. As a girl who loves clothes, I was all for it. I never realized how much material was involved and how complex a sari could be. It was gorgeous. And after she finally got me into it properly, we topped it off with a bindi on my forehead.
She was sweet to give me the sari as a gift. I totally did not expect that.
