Mira gets help from the maid in tying a sari. As kids, most Indian girls go through this "sari" wearing phase. If I used bedsheets once upon a time (that was because dupattas and salwar-kurtas were almost unheard of in Kerala then), Mira had my dupatta to try out.
This head-scarf business is a favorite pastime for the maid and Mira. The maid is a professional in that since she has worked as a daily-wage labourer in the paddy fields and construction sites in Kerala, where women shield their heads using the very-Kerala towel we call thorthu.
She reminds me of Kasturba Gandhi with her long-sleeved "blouse". But then Muslim women in Kerala still use long-sleeved "jackets", so it cant be labelled a pre-Independence costume.
With her brother. Unlike her, it is very difficult to get him to pose. There he is looking over his shoulder to see what is showing on TV.
