Beautiful poetry about greatness of Saree – Chandini Meda

చీర :
ఆరు గజాలు ఉండే అందమైన వస్త్రం..

ఆడవారు ఆనందంగా తొడిగే అలంకరణం..

చీర :

వన్నెలు కప్పుతూ
సొగసును దాచి పెడుతూ
కనీ కనిపించని అందాలతో
ఇతరులను ఆకర్షిస్తు
ఇట్టే ఆకట్టుకునే
మా ఆడువారు ఒంటి మీద ఆభరణం..

జాతి మత కుల బేధం ఇవేమీ అడ్డు చెప్పనిది .
ఒక్కో సందర్భానికి ఒక్కో రకం అలా పలు రకాలు.

నిలువెత్తు అందం చూడాలి అన్నా చీరలోనే
అంతటి అందం చూపించాలన్నా చీరకే సాధ్యం

साड़ी क्यों नहीं पहनती तुम?

साड़ी क्यों नहीं पहनती तुम?
पहना करो, अच्छी लगती हो….
सूखे पत्तों के बीच,
गुलाब की पंखुड़ी लगती हो..
शायद तुम्हें पता नहीं
नजरें बहुत सी तुम पर रहती हैं..
लेकिन उत्सवों में तुम,
आंखों का नूर बन उभरती हो..
देखने को नज़ारे और भी हैं
दिल बहलाने के लिए फसाने और भी हैं..
मगर तुम्हारे शबाब़ जैसा
आफ़रीन पूरे कयानात में नहीं…
साड़ी के पल्लू को संभालती
मेरे ख्वाबों की बेचैनी लगती हो..
साड़ी क्यों नहीं पहनती तुम?
पहना करो, अच्छी लगती हो….




Sarees – Yeh dil maange more | Madhu Sakam

My love saga for ethnic saree wear started in AP south India and continues here in the US. I feel nothing makes a Desi woman more beautiful than carrying a saree in a dignified and elegant manner. As I received a lot of compliments if I adorn in saree compared to any other western wear. Though I may sound a little biased with my obsession with saree, I truly feel that south Asian facial lady features can magnify well in ethnic saree wear. Last year when I participated in a beauty contest I proudly wore a multi-color saree embellished with small sequins. Accessorized my saree with a metallic belt across my waist while doing a fashion ramp walk as part of the contest’s selection round.

I am proud to say I am a shopaholic :), as I like pampering myself with stuff I adore. Especially during Covid’s gloomy lockdown phase-I couldn’t travel to India for a few years. My mother and sister tried to ship a few sarees for me in between, still, I was passionate to browse online to buy more sarees to treat myself. No matter what people may judge reading this, personally, this is something that always makes me happy. After all, it’s a form of self-love that’s cheerful. A typical Asian women’s mentality is to please her family by stretching her runtime schedule around the clock. In this whole marathon run, they forget to please themselves within their financial liberties. I strongly advocate that every woman dedicate some time to self-love, whether it can be learning a new hobby or little shopping that we can afford, we shouldn’t hesitate in treating ourselves with small pleasantries.

Coming to my personal choices in picking saree I have few preferences to categorize. Anything in bright color shades or pastel palette colors attracts me first, secondary aspect if it’s of any beautiful embellished embroidery or mirror work then it will definitely steal all my attention.

Of course, in recent years I learned better sense in picking the right fabrics and became wise in choosing the right colors that I can explore or opt for. I also gift sarees to my friends and relatives on special occasions. Gifts hand picking is something I cherish, it’s even more gratifying if they wear my gifted saree and send me back those pictures. I cherish and save them as memories for a lifetime. I am heading to India in a few days after four years of long gap. I am excited to shop for the latest trendy sarees in person, Kyunki yeh dil maange more 🙂

याद है क्या तुम्हें तुम्हारी वो नीली साड़ी | Saree Poetry – Mahi Kumar

याद है क्या तुम्हें

तुम्हारी वो नीली साड़ी,
उस पर तुम्हारी मुस्कान
समझ नहीं आता के
पहले तारीफ़ किसकी करूं…
उस साड़ी में तुम लग रहीं थी
एक नील पत्थर
वही नील पत्थर,
जो अब तुम से ज्यादा
मेरे सपनों में आता है…
वही नील पत्थर जो केवल
मेरे सपनों की दुनिया तक सीमित है,
आँखें खुलने पर सपनों की तरह
जो पल में ओझल हो जाता है…
जिसकी चमक आंखे खुलने नहीं देती
और ख़ूबसूरती आँखें फेरने नहीं देती
जब नीली साड़ी में देखता हूँ तुम्हे
वही नायाब नील पत्थर याद आता है..
