And hey, don't you think it's any less fun for you if you're not there to sell something! The multicultural, colourful & flavourful options to shop, explore and eat would definitely make for a perfect day out with your friends, family or simply yourself. Sharing a personal experience, I would say that the fondest memories I have of the India International Trade Fair are about those picnics in one of the green spots of Pragati Maidaan. With homemade food, a bottle of soft drink and so many cool things to look up to, it all felt so good even after getting tired of hopping from one pavilion to another for the quirkiest of home decor or those offbeat merchandises that come straight from the curator's mind to this exhibition.
