Luxurious Linen

I’ve just returned to earth, after a trip to Heaven. I was off to the majestic hills of Jammu, and a visit to the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi. The trip went really well, leaving aside some small incidents like my aunt missing the train, or the sudden burst of rain showers when we were about to walk uphill. But, I’d still say that the journey has been one of my most memorable yet.

The bigger problem that I faced, though, was selecting the right clothing, in the weather which frequently alternated between very hot and very cold. However, most of the travelers were comfortably wearing linen salwar kameez or kurta pyjama, in the extremes of weather, which made me wonder what was so special about the fabric. So, after several hours of pouring over the internet, I realized that linen fabric, made of flax seeds, offers warmth in the cold weather, and cool in hot weather. It is also known for its healing properties, in reducing skin rashes and even chronic eczema. And along with these advantages, linen offers pure, unadulterated comfort. So, some caution for me and my fellow earthlings: for your next excursion, its only luxe linen that you should sport!
