A weaver's village

I was recently in this village of kodiyaala, a few kilometers away from my home town(Sakkare Nagara - Mandya) known for its handlooms and cotton sarees.

While people shopped busily and heavily, I watched Gurappa and other weavers add vibrant colors to the sarees - each a masterpiece.

The villages and its people have something in them that makes me feel not just awed but almost jealous.Its something more than just their simplistic lifestyle that draws me..I cant be sure..
(I know, I know, you will say that i must have found it homely given that Mandya is almost a village.. FYI, Mandya now has a MORE and a FabMall and Safal, you know :P )
