Saree Trending on Twitter
It happens only on Twitter that a saree transcends all boundaries and becomes gender-fluid attire. It is almost surreal (it feels so good) to see saree decolonizing the norms, body types, sex and nations and transcending all the barriers only to bring out the best in you and make you feel special! This time, saree broke the cis-het norms and emerged as all for one and one for all, in its truest sense. Equal rights activist Harish Iyer donned the saree and made us wonder if we look half as graceful as he does.
