Salwar Kameez wins over the Legendary Tennis Queens - The William Sisters

They have won 14 Grand Slam Tennis titles between them. Yes, that's 14. And they're now attending the Bangalore Open Tennis Tournament in the Southern India city of Bangalore. These are the trail blazing US tennis queens - Serena and Venus Williams. They have won hearts in India, not only with their on-court performance. They have won admirers and fans for their off-court interactions as well. The two sisters have embraced India and Indians. Their attitude has been so worthy of champions. No wonder India loves Serena and Venus.

But there is something special that Serena and Williams also love. It's the famous Indian Salwar Kameez costume. While the sisters also seemed to have enjoyed their stint in Sarees, it's the Salwar Kameez that has really caught their fancy. They have talked to friends, how fascinated they were with the Salwar and wanted to go shopping for it. It's the comfort and the mesmerizing range of embroidery on Salwar Kameez that has swept them off their feet. These girls look cool in Indian clothing. Well, I've suggested to my friends at www.ShopIndia.com, Shokti.com, and Salwar.net to send a few sizes of their 'cool' salwar kameez to the sister's hotel in Bangalore, India. And they're going to do that today. That will be fun - watching them in a costume that I've been wearing for a long time. Well, the Salwar Kameez has gone truly global.

On the sumptuous Indian food, it's Venus who is very interested in the Indian cuisine and has been sampling the various curry dishes, lentil dishes and Indian desserts. Serena has been mostly caught ordering the Continental dishes.

What a story! Well, good luck to the wonderful sisters. We should thank them for adding their names to the list of aficionados of the Indian Salwar Kameez.

Have a good day! Until next time - G'bye!
