An early morning ride on the kalamkari route....
The new carpet I picked up at Rasi Silks' Aadi sale along with two kalamkari bedsheets. All these years, I had resisted the urge to buy a carpet in this dusty city. And with a kid who is allergic to dust and dust mites.
As for the kid, he spots the carpet under the teapoy first thing in the morning, removes the offending centre table and prepares for his red carpet welcome. He drags it all around the house, so I have no option but to keep it away. Back to carpetless days.
Mira, in Ash's old shirt, rests/poses on the new carpet.
Surprisingly, my inlaws who dont much care for cottons or ethnic fabric, fell for it and bought a carpet and bedsheet each. As for V, I have made him a cotton fabric fan. Coming from rainy Kerala where the average citizen swears by synthetic wear which are easy to wash and dry, he initially viewed my choice of clothes with disdain.
Kalamkari clothing, bedsheets, carpets etc. have been in vogue in Chennai for sometime now. The prints dont look very neat but they have an old-world charm. Fabindia has made ethnic cottons look so chic though one runs the risk of wearing the same kurta to work as one's colleague. And fabindia can be fadeindia at times - the colour runs.
