Three Sarees

                           
      Sarees, as we all know is a garment which most of us associate with women. But in this particular context its in concern with my mom. These are the last three sarees which my mom purchased but was not able to wear them.
                                 This is about year 2011 in the month of January. My mom came down to Bangalore to stay with me for a few days. During this time we went to one of the famous saree shops of Bangalore "Angadi silks". We saw many sarees of all types and varieties. Finally my mom selected 3 sarees, one in blue, one in green and one in cream colour. Those were very simple sarees  (typically like what my mom wears). She was happy and so was I since i had bought those for her.
                               She got those sarees but had not worn them. In between we had planned to go to Hyderabad where my sister stays along with her husband. My mom was planning take those sarees to show them to my sister and wear during the visit there. But fate didn't support her plans. She was never able to go to Hyderabad or back home. She left us that year on March 6th. I had to pack those sarees and take it back home. 
                               Those three sarees are still there in her cupboard packed as new waiting for someone to wear them. the person who bought them never got to wear them but. Those three sarees were the last thing my mom bought and last thing i gave to my mom. I used to love to buy sarees for my mom and most of the times i used to go with her whenever she wanted to buy sarees. So the last time also I was the one who bought her sarees of her own choice.
