I am starting with a semi-urban fair called rural Mela.Though there was not much rural except for the name.R.nagar is a semi-urban area except for its educational institutions out of which NIRD is treated as a landmark and it was hosting the fair.
I was expecting to see raw rurality at its best like animals,pottery,sculpture,rural folk and all that.A bit disappointed, but none the less, I found was wooden and paper handicrafts at their best.The dig-dig toy,the Sayonara fan,the beautiful bangles & key chains,pretty jewellery boxes,cheap and good looking paper bags are the stuff which I actually enjoyed.There were items of bamboo and jute like bags and even lanterns.
Yes how can I forget,clothes which they were selling as Kochapalli but designs resembled Sambalpuri and bags and wall hangings of appilique which reminisced me of my own place..I enjoyed Masala corn and happily came back after satisfying my shopper's appetite..

Engel’s law is one of the most established law of economics Engel’s law of economics states that ‘Economic development involves an increase in national and per capita income and the consequent changes in the consumption pattern.

As the economy develops, the level of income of its people increases and they begin consuming larger quantity and superior quality products. This process though quite gradual brings about changes in the pattern of consumption over time. With the increasing incomes, accelerating urbanisation and improving value chains, the food consumption patterns in India have been dramatically altered in accordance to the Engel’s law. The Tenth Plan has emphasized the need for Nutrition Security with rapid increase in dietary diversification So with the increasing urbanisation in India, people would see more of vegetables and fruit consumption as compared to staple food

The Rising Sun !!

The rising sun has countless hues Red, Yellow, White and Blues. Yellow is Friendship Red is Love. Blue is Thirst of wisdom White is Dove.. Its heart is full of colors But it has its own turmoil. The world will be brightened up with its soft pink rays So Yes, it has to boil.. To transform clouds out of the vapours To fulfill the wishes of parched lands. Ponds, lakes, rivers and oceans But world's only about mirages and sands.. Waters disappear with its proximity Lonely in the sky will it ever remain. Whenever it sets in the orange-red sky Remembers to rise again.. It knows nothing is eternal Neither friends nor foes nor hues The only thing that stays forever Are the moments that are simple, are true… - Mousumi
