Life seems to be turning into a Bollywood movie and you won’t even need to lip-sync as you sing and dance your way through life with your romantic hero – just wear a musical sari! Yes, you’ve seen those Made in China Christmas cards which sing, autos from everywhere which talk and clocks which nag you to wake up. Now you have a Made in India intricately embroidered sari which comes embedded with a digital player in the ‘pallu’, 8 micro-speakers on the border and can play over 200 songs for four hours.
The Hindu wrote about the Swaramadhuri, designed by P.Mohan of Andhra Pradesh who took several months to design the sari. B. Datta Shiva, the master weaver, who purchased the rights of the sari, said, “Orders are pouring from reputed showrooms from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh for supply.” You can read about it and view the rich red sari here
Looks like the bar on clothing is being raised – now your clothes must know how to warble! Well, the sari should pay for itself in no time:
.
- It would be great for cheating on an exam, if programmed with the right answers.
- At your party you won’t need a DJ because your sari will make the guests rock
- Super for a romantic evening where you can input the right music to set the mood.
- You won’t need to pay for a wedding band at your wedding.
- If you get into an argument with your spouse, just turn on the volume!
Can you think of any other uses for Swaramadhuri?

Shashi, you’re right, it should be waterproof, otherwise it won’t do – after all every Bollywood movie has to have a wet sari scene and some of the best songs are shot in the rain.
Re: Lassi – you’ll be surprised, the one made from nonfat yogurt tastes very good too. As for literary lassis, the lite denotes it’s about a silly subject, or just for laughs.
Hi Lavina, As for the singin’ saree, a) can it do it in the rain–without which capability it’d be the quintessential damp squib? b) you forgot the obvious use: franchise it in the US and patent it.
Cheers (hic)
PS: a) I need singing underwear–I am certainly not going around wearing a saree, especially one with open evidence of where the crooning is coming from. b) I am just NOT convinced true lassi, the liquid, can ever be lite, so it’s a misnomer. Ask a true Punjabi. It’s like making a lassi without malai… OMG! How horrid! But, seriously, your “Lite” is truly what it should be. Carry on blogging!
