June, looking pretty in an off-white sari, dropped by Punjabee Bradree’s Sargi Meet on October 10. Organised by the ladies’ wing of the association, around 600 women came together to ring in Karva Chauth. “This is my first time at a sargi meet. Indian festivals are so vibrant. It’s great to see these ladies dressed up so beautifully, especially the just-weds,” smiled June.
An afternoon of tambola, winning gifts, putting on mehndi and lots of gupshup was in store.
