Today is Monday. Most places that are tourist attractions are closed today. I spent the day at home doing laundry and browsing
the internet lo learning about where to go to shop for a saree, where the main
tourist attractions are located and how to get to them via metro.
I shopped online for a saree to learn about the many different
styles of sarees. I learned I like
Lehenge style sarees. These sarees have
three pieces...skirt, blouse (chohi) , and shawl (dupatta), instead of the
traditional two pieces ...blouse and one
long fabric skirt/shawl. I looked at
different colors and fabrics and learned that I like polyester netting fabric with a hand embroidered design. I
want my fabric to be light weight and move when I move. This narrowed down the
choices of sarees a lot.
Where can I go to shop for sarees? Not at the modern malls...too pricey. The cheapest place would be at a street
bazaar. There are quite a few street
bazaars around Delhi. I decided to go to
Karl Baugh and Delli Haat. I remembered
the Chawri Chowk area and wanted some place a step up from a street market.
I also studied about the Hindu holidays coming up. I will tell you all about that in another
posting.
I also reserved bed and breakfast lodging in Jaipur for November 7 to November 11 for Eli and me.
It is another story trying to make train reservations. There are many steps to register to get codes to enable you to buy a ticket. I am still working on it.
This is all I did today. Bye for now.
