Writing for me is like wearing a saree – getting a simple and elegant look by draping around a six yards cloth. It's like the 26 alphabets of english draped around the writer's ink. I begin with the petticoat – it is neither the first line nor the last line, it's the thought that later cascades the word by placing it at right places, to give a modest look. Blouse is the underlying support for the saree drape – I wear it to support the drape that allows to compose subsequent lines with the articulation of the first line. It's the first line that holds the interest of the reader and permit them to gaze forward. I then go for making the pleats, the pleats hold so much in so less, just like broken words of folded pleats. And then comes the pallu – It defines the length of the sentences. It shouldn't be short nor long, it should get along with the width to get the perfect variation of the sentence. And in the end, pinning is as important as punctuation in writing. I stand infront of the mirror to re-read, where I reflect the ink of the writer and the saree, reflects the elegance of the writer. Wearing a saree is difficult, but it becomes easy when we get into the flow of fabric, just like words in writing. #yqbaba #writingforme #saree #pertinaceous
