I used to sit and watch my mother as she'd dress for work - the way she'd drape her saree, the exactness of each fold. And then carefully lift her bottle of perfume for a whiff long after she'd left home.

This was so beautiful to read, Samira. Love the nuance of your writing. And please tell your daughter I love her handiwork.

Thank you Deepika! What is it with mother's getting ready for work and their unmatched beauty? 😊 The perfume application looked like such an art - I would equate it to the Japanese tea ceremony - the flick of the wrist and the careful dab behind the ears! I will tell my daughter that her work was very much appreciated.
