Wearing a Sari

With lots of help from Thusana I managed to wear a sari to work today. We went to the opening of a conference, which is a very formal event in Sri Lanka, and I wanted to dress up.

There is a joke here about wearing saris – it goes something like this:
Chinese women need one meter of fabric and manage to cover most of their bodies, Islamic women need 2 meters of fabric and almost completely cover their bodies. Sri Lankan women need 6 meters of cloth and still leave 6 inches of their bodies uncovered!

  • I think Chathrika is definitely a very attractive woman.

    I used to have a Sri Lankan girlfriend when I was stationed in Bahrain. Unfortunately, she was on the passenger side of a car that was involved in an accident that killed her instantly (the driver died a week later from injuries). I do miss her.

    Chatrika definitely reminds me of her. Very beautiful and charming.

    It's a shame she doesn't live in the states.
