My saree got caught in an escalator...
The title pretty much sums it up. While returning from a wedding function at a 5 star hotel, the pallu of my Saree got caught between the steps of an escalator.
My immediate feeling was that of panic, first for my own dear life, not wanting to be strangled, but secondly not wanting my beautiful Kanjivaram to tear.
Fortunately, my quick thinking worked and I twirled a couple of times to free myself of the stuck parts. And at the same time someone from the bottom pressed the emergency stop button.
That however didn't not stop 100 odd people getting to see me just in my blouse and petticoat. It took 15 odds minutes for a couple of mechanics to completely remove the saree and hand it to me till which I had no option but to stay the same way.
Once the fear of having escaped serious injury and possible death, and the embarasmet of making a fool of myself subsided, the unplanned exposure to a truck load of people of my midriff, navel, and more left me with mixed feelings!
