Not bad at all for what is merely the first weekend of the year. Here's what's on offer: humour, campus festivals, Carnatic concerts, a cookery contest, and loads of silk shopping.
Bigger, and better every year, the 72nd Numaish Exhibition, on par with a pilgrimage for every Hyderabadi, brings together the shopaholics, the foodies, and the fun seekers.
Witness the auditorium reverberate with Thyagaraja's Pancharatna Keertanas - being sung by dozens of artistes together. Better still, join in if you have the voice.
Weave your way through Hyderabadi traffic to check out Weaves Of India. Cheesy lines aside, do check this expo out, don't miss out on the kaleidoscopic collection of Indian textiles.
Go to the National Cotton & Silk Expo to witness a psychedelic display of India's majestic textile prowess. Warning: You may just end up buying everything on display.
Let Astad Deboo transport you into the bewitching world of contemporary Indian dance, in this sui generis interpretative dance of Rabindranath Tagore's works.
According to Mark Twain, heaven has no humor. Just like Indians going to America bring pickles with them, take some humor from this workshop with you to heaven.
