Hi
My class has been divided into groups in which we are supposed to research together.
So we finally went to Chandni Chowk. And my oh my! It felt like the entire world wanted to fit into the market. It was so crowded!
We got pushed here and there as the streets were so narrow. Yet somehow, the rickshaws made their way through them.
We reached the market via metro. As soon as we got out of the metro stations, we could see small shops and people trying to sell small goods such as table mats, and incense sticks to us. As we went further, we could see food stalls and small dhaba/ restaurants. We saw the the famous Natraj Dahi Bhalle Wala. The delicious aroma from the dahi bhalas was irresistable. But I tried to restrict myself from them as I'm trying to maintain my diet. LOL.
So, we kept going further. We crossed the famous Pranthewali Gali too that my parents always mention whenever someone mentions Chandni Chowk. It was fun to see the variety of paranthas they made. One of those varieties was "nuts parantha". I'm not kidding.
Finally we reached the Kinari Bazaar. It is said to be one of the biggest market when it comes to shopping for weddings and special occasions. And truly, it was so colourful. I could see saree borders, also called as 'gotas' throughout the long and narrow street.
At one point some of my group members went missing too. Haha. We found them later. It was okay.
We thought about exploring the place a little more. We came accross Maliwara. It was one lane entirely dedicated to sarees. Everything was so beautifull.
So we came to a decision. As part of our project, we were supposed to select one macro and micro area. So we chose maliwara.
The shop that i chose is called as Teena Sarees.
We talked to the owners of the shops and came to know a little bit about the history of their shops. Some of them were even older than 1947 (independence of India).
That's all for now!
See you soon.
