The #MADISAR is not just a garment or a style. "The madisar has both symbolic and practical meaning," says Seetha Anand, a young educator from Hyderabad, who says she "loves the look of the madisar - when worn well, it is so flattering". The nine yards of the sari function as the all-inclusive garment. It is worn without a petticoat or underskirt - unlike the normal six-yard sari - and, if wrapped properly, requires no other undergarment or upper garment (such as a blouse). "With one of the folds pulled through between the legs (and tucked into the back on the belt), the style fulfils the requirements of modesty and protection," says Anand. The trouser-like style also made it easy to work and move around in. In fact, the tradition of a nine-yard sari was prevalent in many other Indian states like Maharashtra and Karnataka. History even mentions several women soldiers draped in a nine-yard sari going to war. Women like Jhansi's Queen Laxmibai fought e...

Importance of chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam. Every person has a Slokam from Vishnu Sahasranama Sthothram, based on his or her birth star and paadam. On chanting that Slokam everyday, the person attains spiritual and material benefits.

A small lovely passage just to explain what is real happiness !!! One is born in a first class hospital, the other is delivered at home, both survived. One went to a private primary school and the other to a public school, both  ended in the same high school. One woke up from the bed and the other woke up on the floor, both had a peaceful sleep. One has expensive attire, the other simple and cheap, both still cover their body. One ate fried rice and Curry, the other ate home made rice n dal but both filled their hunger. One drives a Lexus, the other uses public transport but both reached their destination.

Just because our neighbour has amassed material posessions, it does not mean that we are a failure. Happiness doesn't come from having everything, but making the bes...
