continue to fascinate me!
I spy diamonds on her earlobes, winking brightly at me.
My mother-in-law narrates this amazing kahani:
Her father worked for the Maharaja Of Mysore and knew Sir C.V. Raman and his family. Lady Raman (as my m-i-l calls her), was very fond of my Saas, then a 14 yr old girl.
Buying diamond earrings is serious business in the South. The reputation, the 'porutham', the cut ...
M-I-L's Father bumped into C.V.Raman and his wife at the diamond store, where they had come to pick up a pair of diamond earrings, which C.V.R. had carefully researched and reserved for Lady Raman.
When he found out that diamonds were being bought for my Maamiyaar, he promptly handed the earrings to her Dad.
Both C.V.R and Lady Raman were so so fond of my mother-in-law, they wanted her to have the earrings which had been so carefully picked out.
So there you are ...
My m-i-l proudly sports diamond earrings, carefully picked out by Sir C.V.Raman and his wife!!!
