I don't know how they do it. I observe women of all ages and stages dressed in their colorful sari's and kurtas wearing jewelery, and earings, and cute open sandals whether they are part of the workers in this complex or women who have their children at the small play grounds. Then there is me. Not that I don't already stick out with being 5'9 and blonde; I am wearing American comfort clothes - and my Crocs. I don't even have earings on let alone a necklace and I am developing swollen eyes and a red face from the heat.
These ladies smile at me but I know am a fish out of water. My dressier clothes include a dress or two along with a light weight business jacket for that special occasion should it arise. The women in the Indian culture are always looking like a special occasion. For the most part, their hair is stylishly pulled back, in a braid or up.
My mother-in-law kindly asked me if I don't like earings (and or jewelery). I do. Somehow I manage to lose one in my everyday work a world. I wonder how these Indian ladies do it? Maybe I should go and get a kurta or two. At the very least I should be a whole lot cooler outside.I'll let you know how it goes. Photos forth with.
