In India, when one needs a blouse for a
sari, one can go to specialized shop called a matching center, where
salespeople with expert eyes find cloth in just the right shade and recommend
which fabric will work best with which sari.
Yesterday, I was at this matching center near Chembur station, looking
for a lining for a silk blouse. While
the salesman hunted down the right shade of navy blue, I lost myself in the
feast of color. These bolts of cloth thrill
me, much as a box of crayons did when I was a child.
