My Saree Fixation

I saw a play- "kanyadaan"- which is a English Translation of the original marathi version by the talented and outspoken -late lamented playright-Vijay Tendulkar....And then I also saw Sarkar Raj, the one thing common in these two extrmely diverse Art reprensations was the portrayal of a typical Marathi Household- something that I have not come across too often in my real life transactions- And what caught my eye and my interest was the beautiful Mahashtrian Handloom Sarees worn by the female protaganists in each of the above mentioned play and movie respectively. In the former a very graceful and understated Lilette Dubey adorned pastel cottons, thus lending her own grace to the sarees, in the latter a otherwise tacky dresser- Tannisha gets transformed in a beautiful portrayal of a Maharashtrian Housewife clad in lovely rich silks- Narayan Peths, Paithanis etc...
And since then I have a craving to own a few of these beautiful saree forms . In my native Bengal -Sarees still retain their pride and glory and the variety available is just mind boggling- Bengal has contributed some very classic Saree forms- Kantha, Baluchari, Taant, Tangail, Dhakai, Jamdaani- the list is endless
Anyway coming back to my craving , which is gaining epic proportions by the day.......
I asked a few people -about the right places to pick up good bargains-The answers were varied-
Pune
A village near Shirdi
Khadi Bhandar
Kalaniketan
Dadar

Out of all this the most constant and feasible option seemed to be Dadar...So then after much waiting tomorrow am going to go and choose, haggle , negotiate and buy a few of these sarees

And hopefully by Monday my temporary insanity will be over and I will not scare cab drivers by saying " I want to go to NarayanPeth" instead of saying" Nariman Point"
