Annual Eid celebrations

Clearly, the main activity of the annual Eid celebration remains attending a relative's residence. On this particular occasion, relatives make sure to see each other at home.  They are amused by a wide variety of dishes. The sweet flavour of the most significant meal, sewai , seems to be blending with joy and celebration. Even so, traditional recipes are significantly altered for the celebration.  During a visit to a relative's home, it became more apparent that not only did the dishes on the table resemble those of a five-star hotel, but also...  The golden-coloured cutlery placed on the table created the illusion of an upscale hotel. Each item placed on the table served as a reminder of the refined and opulent way of life.

Second-hand woollen clothes warm have-nots


Not one but several turn up at particular temporary markets arranged on weekends or any other fixed days in Kanpur City areas. These freely sell second-hand clothes mostly woollen jackets, coats and long coats. People are drawn to stylish used and discarded unique clothes in the lure of getting kinds of stuff at a far cheaper price. 

Buying second-hand clothes affords them as they are overheard uttering this stark truth. Their individuality does not find this liking bad in any obvious way. One middle-aged person revealed that he came to buy woollen clothes at a cheaper price at this special Sunday market. This helped helped him for at least one winter season. Even more days could be worn, he stressed.

The sale of most second-hand clothing can be easily noticed in a few selected locations such as Nai Chungi, KDA Crossing in Tannery Town, Dada Mian Ka Chauraha in City areas and other famous sites in Kanpur. 

On listening to the increased prices, an aged man pointed out that the prices undeniably depend on the popularity of the area. If the Nai Chungi area is costly, the KDA area happens to be even more expensive. Therefore, it is better to approach the famous Dada Mian Ka Area for buying such things at a little bit cheaper prices.

But while we may get the appearance of the sellers and buyers with money to spend on good-looking woollen apparel, the people are also found laughing when they react that they are not mistaken in any way! These cheaper clothes are inexpensive. We get them from second-hand clothes sellers.  

Telling his experience a youngster who was busy exploring jackets for his personal use or requirements, expressed his different views on purchasing these cheaper clothes. 

Surely just one of the poor purchasers truly decided to hang around this temporary shop on the roadside vacant ground. He happily started saying that they are not relatively wealthy enough to buy clothes from popular fashion brands. Therefore we opt for the second-hand market instead. Who can deny that there are branded shops where one can pay thousands for woollen clothes? He gibed.
