Change of conception

Sometimes I wonder of the choice of clothes that women wear in parties, and an incident flashes in my mind, which changed the view of one of my cousin, who was not that very sure about the prospective beauty of wearing a Sari in a marriage party!
It was my elder cousin's marriage day, and everybody was conscious about the dress that he or she may be wearing for the party. My younger maternal cousin usually liked to wear traditional dress of a Punjabi girl--Salwar Kameez and Dupatta--which is just like wearing a trouser, a long shirt and having a mantilla! Though she looked cool in the dress but her mother and father wanted her to wear a Sari, because in India, the most potent dress for an occasion like this is Sari! It was a flaming red color Sari with golden border threads that was woven into it!
Though she was not willing to wear a Sari, but the enchanting appearance of the Sari made her to try that out! But wait, it was a cumbersome work to wear a Sari, and she found her unable to do it. Her friends and other aunts sensed the irony of her state and they helped her to bind it around her; for, if you are not aware of the structure of the Sari, mind that it is around five-and-half meter or six meter cloth piece that is bind around the body!
And no wonder that after a little hassle in the initial stage of her maintaining the Sari, she became the cynosure of all in the party and all the eyes were riveted on her appearance. This naturally made her a little more conscious and she started watching her own steps. This was a real treat for us cousins, and we teased her very much about this, as she gave the appearance of a woman who has worn the Sari for the first time!
Later somebody remarked that the boy from the party of bridegroom has sent a proposal of wedding her, which was actually declined; because my cousin was not that matured in her age, but looked quite matured in the Sari, and this lent a rare beauty to her! She realized that the glare, elegance, and charm of the Sari can not be matched by any other dress, and she started wearing Sari for other function also, for, she was convinced that for women, Sari is the best dress in India!
