Ode to My Fashion

Have you ever heard of a Saree party? Well, in India a Saree party is party where a group of women (mostly expats) dress up in beautiful Sarees and party. It could be for a birthday party, a charity event or just for pure fun. I have always wanted to attend a Saree party but in my two and half years in Pune, I never got the chance. The number one reason is that I am not connected. I do not know the right people, the people who organize these events. For that you have to join expats clubs and I never officially did.

Remember early detection means greater chances of getting cured so do not hesitate to do your part.  Encourage your sisters and friends to do the same as well. It is less scary to do it with someone you love and trust. You have been warned!
