I received this from an Indian friend ...it takes time for me to wear it :)

Hope when you finally get to tie the Saari, you will look more beautiful. :-) I have not have any luck so far when any foreign friend presented me a gift. Hope someone like you takes note of it .... Lol!

Sometimes i do get gifts from my friends or relatives abroad and believe it or not they give me only T-shirts,since they know that i wear these only.So, now my cupboard is full of them and i don`t get a chance to wear them since i never go out of my house.I wear the new ones mostly during the festival of Divali or the festival of lights,because that is the time when people buy new clothes.

Hi didi... i shall send you a Mekhela-Chadar from my community and it will take more time to wear than saree for you. have a nice day.

I never receive any~ Anyway you look good on that saree~ It takes time but you made it!I wonder is it difficult to go to the toilet then??

Hi jaiho. The saree looks nice and it would go well with matching jewels. Of course, tying the saree is an ordeal even for people here! Times are changing and the present generation is finding it difficult to wear traditional dresses as they are more accustomed to western wear and salwar kameezes. But I am able to wear both traditional as well as western wear. I do not have foreign friends except in mylot and I have not recieved any gifts either. But one of my sister's friends send my daughter gifts from her kids and it did feel nice to see my daughter's excitement. Yes, you are right. More than the gift itself, the thought is what matters the most.

i have reived a gift from foreign friends but not the one like you (saree) coz i am not a girl however i know how to wear a saree as we had played lot of lady roles in dramas while i was in collage.i got t-shirts,jeans,perfume,chocolates,stamps,coins and manymore and this is like a treasure for me,and i like to gift as well to get gift from others.

From the way you refer to them (as Chettan and Chechi), I think they are from the same state as I am :-) Coming back to the topic, I've got a Ghanian dress from when I visited Ghana in 2001. Though it's a skirt and a blouse with a head scarf, I don't know how to wear the head scarf...and the blouse is in the typical Ghanian sleeves which I'm not comfortable wearing on a daily basis. But I treasure it and keep it carefully :-)

Nice nice! Lucky to have great friends jai well, i do have foreign friends and when they do visit here, all i got are chocolates lol! one was from Singapore and she gave me this very big block of hershey chocolates! not that i mind, i love chocolates and i love it when she comes home and visits me.

For me maybe you can't said it not good that's why you have very bad thinking to it when you are in the wearing time.

When two of my forum friends visited with me, from the U.K. they brought me a teddy bear and a tin of Prince Charles Organic Biscuits. I have finished the biscuits but have kept the tin as a memento.

yes i received before a dress from a foreign friend^^ also i received something that my ex put in his guitar. he sent me that ^^ i save that dearly even he is being different to me now :( the truth is that i will keep that forever. i love him so much and i just still cant accept that we cant be together anymore. when i take time to think of it i will feel so sad and will want to cry. thats why i avoid to think of what happened :( but sure everyday i think about him :(

hello jaiho, It is really nice to received something from a friend True what matters most is the thought Uncle send me Kurta top also Buy Madam gave me a yellow salwar which i wore last diwali 2010

I have not received anything. But I only hope that someday. I will receive a gift from someone special especially my friends on mylot.

So tomorrow you will be in India with them... Wearing a saree may be difficult, but once done you can wear in few minutes You look cute in this saree from Chettan, very good, but there might be an occassion behind this gift.. Yes I exchange gifts with my friends in USA, Philippnes and Australia. Thanks for sharing God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Blessings from DadaProfessor ‘Bhuwan’. .
