Hey everyone! Hope you are doing great! I’m back with
another post of my series, #MNSIndieProject, where I talk about fabrics,
weaves, embroideries, etc from a particular Indian region. My series will
complete when I have showcased something from each state of India, which I
think is going to take some seriously long time, one because the expansive area
and heritage of the country. And second, because I am have not been committed enough
to the blog right now! Which I definitely want to change.
In my last post, I touched base with my own Bengali Heritageand ticked off West Bengal from the list. For today, I have chosen a perfect
place for any food lover and romantic at heart. Lucknow! We normally relate Biryani
and Lucknowi Chikan with Lucknow, apart from the Nawabi romanticism. I haven’t
had the fortune to visit the city, although it is very much on the cards. But,
as someone who has been fond of the lucknowi Chikankari, this post bring in a
lot of nostalgia. White Kurtis with jeans was my uniform almost throughout my
college days!
But romance for me is staying in, with a good book, and hot chocolate
when it rains outside! And right now that is what the season seems to be like.
I happily skipped almost all of the Indian summer this year,
and now entered into the monsoons! I am not a person who loves monsoons as a
season on the whole! I hate travelling in the rain, but if I am inside my
house, there is nothing quite like it!
Also, I feel like it has been quite
sometime since I went out in the rain on a free day and had my fun! I think its
long due and the next time it pours, I am going to do that! I can sense a bit
of a cribbing crawling into this post about doing this post after 2 years of
the photos being shot, but I am going to stop now and hope that you enjoy the
post.
I am wearing a really old saree from my mom's closet with a stripped top and seashell earring. I wanted to keep the outfit comfortable and wearable as much as possible, hence the comfy top and the lightweight saree.
Also, please share if you have some experiences from your
visit to Lucknow or if you are from there, about the city, the food, the
culture, anything! I would love to add that to this blog! Write to me at priyanjanamns@gmail.com anytime you
like!
Loads of love,
Priyanjana
