Shopping for Salwar

Pradeep was born in Chennai and still has many relatives here. His uncles wanted us to visit right away to say hello and of course to meet this new mysterious Mexican girlfriend. Of course, I wanted to make a good impression and I wanted to wear my Indian clothes that were in my lost carry-on. A perfect opportunity for shopping!! We found a shop after getting off our fun bus ride. It was a small version of a department store like Macy's. They had children, men and women's clothes, accessories and fabrics. I found three possible Salwars: Cotton of course, for the hot weather; short to long sleeve; nice colors and reasonable prices. One of the three fitted perfectly and it was only 799 rupees , approximately $16!! Apparently is a modern style with the pants long enough to be gathered at the bottom. I will have to take a picture and post it online.
I think I definitely made a good impression on the family. :)
