The "hands free" saree
As the legend goes, when the River Kaveri came flowing down and swerved to the right at Balamuri, the force of the water pushed the pleats of the saris of the Kodava women, who were waiting there for her(Kaveri), from the front to the rear. It is said that ever since then, in the traditional Kodava style of draping the sari, the pleats are tucked in at the waist at the back rather than in front, as is common in most parts of India.source: internet.
256_Saree, Coorg Style
Today's word is Saree, Coorg Style.

Saree shopping
But not men right :)
This incident happened when i was out saree shopping for the first time. The salesmen are usually men,but i was new to saree shopping,so imagine my surprise when this guy in his 20's beautifully draped the saree on himself.I could barely keep myself from laughing on his face.

Today's word is Shirt.
"I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion."

252_Salwar: Dada!
After a poor performance in IPL 2010, Sourav Ganguly wanted to head out for lunch in Kolkata, but crowds of fans were baying for his blood. So he wore a salwar-kameez, covered his face with a shawl and sat down in a bus next to a girl.
Girl: Are you Dada?
Sourav: How did you know?
Girl: Because I am Ajit Agarkar!
The safe bet,salwar kameez
252_Salwar Kameez
Today's word is Salwar Kameez.
Shalwar kameez (also spelled salwar kameez or shalwar qameez) is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and Central Asia. Shalwar or salwar are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the ankle. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as the chaak), left open below the waist-line, give the wearer greater freedom of movement.
