Kanchipuram

Kanchipuram is The Best place for buying the silk sarees. About a month back I had been to this place. This was 3rd time we are going there. Kanchipuram is known for silk sarees and it also called saree palace. Kanchi sarees is named after its place Kanchipuram.
We left @ 5.30 in the morning and reached Kanchipuram @9.20. The shop there usually opens at 10. So we had to kill 40 minutes. Meanwhile we had breakfast, which suju had packed. It was 10.15 when we entered the shop; by then already two customers had entered. They were also buying sarees for the Marriage function. The shopkeepers are very quick and clever; they could make out us that we are buying sarees for the marriage function. May be the group we went there made him realize, but they are smart enough to guess for which occasion the customers are buying.
First we started selecting the sarees for sheela (bridegroom), and then we started selecting for ourselves. We got confused which one to buy by the amount of collection they had.
I had dark green color strictly in my mind to buy, and then I went on it. So totally we bought 18 sarees and the girl side bought abt14-16 sarees. At the end looked at the watch it was 3.30. You won't realize the time when u are inside. We paid the bill and existed from the place. sujju was insisting going for another shop, as she did not find the type of saree she had in her mind, so we went to other shop, luckily she found it there and she was happy. At about 4.30 we had our lunch in Sharvanna Hotel, suppose to be The Best Hotel in Kanchipuram. But nobody in my family liked the Hotel, as we didn't find roti's or chapati's there. I ended in drinking juice there to fill my empty stomach. We started leaving there by 5.45. Everyone was exhausted and way back everyone was sleeping.
Even Ramu uncle was also very tired; in turn he gave 3-4 sudden breaks at the humps.
Finally we reached home at 9.45 in the night.
There was totally 3 toll gates to reach Kanchipuram, where each of them is priced b/w 30-56 Rs. Overall, it was tiresome Day without proper food.
