It feels wonderful to see freshly block printed fabrics in a different colour every morning hanging in the neighbouring backyard - what lovely shades of red and pink!
*Pic taken from my phone as I feel kinda odd poking my camera's zoom into the neighbour's house :P

LOL, good idea! I also like the picture in your banner. :)
Ah, isn't Hyderabad block-printing heaven? Those were all I used to wear in my teens and early 20s, then the fabric got thinner and thinner. Lovely pic in the banner too.
Sig - Pic in banner is one of the streets in the Hyderabad that is still not influenced by mall-culture - this street was full of kite-shops....
Sra - thanks! It is indeed block printing heaven - kalamkari is my favourite!
Nandita, where exactly is this 'street with kite-shops'.. I am from hyderabad..so am really curious to know!..
..there was a in-house block-printing business near my grandmom's place and when I was a kid, I even tried my hand on it..!
Siri - it is in a galli enroute to the zoo - guess it was around sankranti time, so the shops were all bursting with kites and manjas - it's even called patang galli i guess!
The neighbour also has an inhouse block printing business, one of the first in hyderabad as I am given to believe -
