Sari or saree is a female garment in the Indian Subcontinent. A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff.
Sari usually exists along with a skirt and a Blouse. The sari is usually worn over a skirt(pavada/pavadai in Tamil), with a blouse (choli or ravika) forming the upper garment. The choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers.
Dr.Abdul Kalaam had a dream that India would be a super power by the year 2020.India is now the second most populous country in the world and is catching up with China at a very fast rate. This gives a clear indication that India would be a super power much before 2020. Many would state various reasons behind this alarming growth in population.But I would say that "Saree" is the only reason behind India's huge population. Saree defeats all other reasons by a huge margin.
I always loved to see women in sarees. My first girlfriend "Renu" never knew that i was actually two timing her with my class teacher. (Renu was my classmate in kindergarten). My class kindergarten class teacher used to drape herself in saree. I was not innocent then. My innocence grew with age.
There are many ways to drape a saree. I am stating a few styles of saree draping that comes to my mind.
Note : If your mind is filled with LUST and if you are a SEXUAL PERVERT, you will see only try to see the flesh in this post. But if you are matured, then you will know that the following are different ways in which people drape a saree.
Tribal wrap

Silicon Valley

This style is very popular in the cosmopolitan cities in India. Men like this style very much. 14 % of road accidents are a result of the silicon valley technique. Rakhi Sawant is the best example for the silicon valley style. Only experts can use this style effectively. Amateurs are requested not to try this even at home because trying it at home might even result in the death of your pet cat.
Belly Button

Revealing the belly button while draping a saree gives a kick to many men. Researches reveal that this effect is even high compared to drinking 8 shots of tequila. Some woman reveal their belly button without their knowledge but many woman reveal it knowingly. As long as they keep on giving men such kicks,it does not matter whether they do it on purpose or not.
Side show

The saree is worn in such a way that it covers the entire body when seen from the front and the back. But when seen from the sides, it gives statistical information of the one adopting this style. Almost 90 %of saree drapers fall under this category.
This style of draping a saree is a major reason behind the population explosion. In this picture Shriya is demonstrating a very bad example of the side show technique. She is revealing more than what is required for this style.
Mummy

Reliable sources say that a group of men are actually searching for the inventor of this style to kill him. This technique makes the woman to sweat a lot. Hence Chronicwriter also strongly voices his opinion against this style. How ever this style is commonly used for brides in weddings.
Amnesia

Mallika Sherawat is an expert in this style. Importance is given to the blouse and the skirt (mundu). How ever due to lack of funds, the saree is forgotten.The Amnesia style is very popular in Kerala. No wonder they call Kerala as God's own country.
Trivia: Chronicwriter lived in Kerala for 4 years.
Unrealistic Hope

If you are working in a firm , if your boss appreciates you and pats your back for every task that you complete, you would of course be happy. Your hopes would go high. But at the time of your appraisal if he gives you a bad rating, how would you feel? I am not making any sense through this example too. Let me make it very simple.
When you eat a chocolate in front of a little child without giving it to the child, how would the child feel? This particular style falls under such a category. It gives false hopes to everyone. It might appear to fall down anytime. But it does not. It hangs on and stays-on for ever. So close, yet very far.
There are many many more styles involved in draping a saree. Many among you will fall under some of these categories.. It is an ocean and I have covered only a drop in that big wide ocean. I request the readers to take a plunge into this ocean too. But jump in only if you can swim or else just enjoy sunbathing near the shore.
