Some things are universal....


I've been talking about pink saris almost as long as I've been talking about my study.  After two weeks of thorough sari-situation evaluation on the streets of Mysore, I decided it was time for me to get one of my own.  My good friend Shoaib patiently showed me literally dozens of saris.  Choosing one is much more difficult than shopping in the US, largely because every sari, being essentially a giant, gorgeous sheet, will fit you no matter what.  


I can't quite tell, but it seems that the pink sari is India's answer to the LBD.  I tried this one on, although I had to wear it over my clothes because it took three salesmen to help me get it on.

Hi Naomi,
I really appreciate your photos.

I was wondering, is there a zoo in Mysore?

Are there fashion trends in Sari's?
