Nostalgic with Chikankari Saree

In a chikankari saree on georgette paired with an ikkat blouse... this drape makes me nostalgic 😊😊. I got this in 2007 from Numaish in Hyderabad. 
Numaish is another name for All India Industrial Exhibition - a shopaholic 's paradise with the sheer range of products and variety it offers. 🛍🛍From dry fruits and woolen garments to handloom products, Persian carpets to bed sheets and crockery, yummy food options to carnival rides, including a chook chook gadi🚂🚂 that takes you through the entire place, Numaish ushers in thousands of people everyday for 45 days.
Expert hagglers visit on the last day to put their skills to good use. The warmth, the loudspeakers blaring the latest music and the cacophony of the carnival has been drawing people in its embrace since 1938. As soon as its Jan 1, we hyderabadis are bound to ask each other, "Numaish gaye kya? Kitne baar? Chal aaja mere saath" 😄😄😄
