Over priced, over crowded and bad experiences at Numaish

Current Events

Numaish is the magical time of the year for many of the Hyderabadis. Many of us have been going there for years by now and have many fond memories. but in recent years, numaish has started to become a very meh experience- it is super overcrowded (more than it used to be - i blame social media partially). A lot of the stuff that is available here has become subpar. specially clothes - few are overpriced and better quality while others are cheap and shit quality. very few fall in between. when it comes to bedding stuff, usually it is really good but even then I got scammed twice with damaged bedsheets🥲

Especially this time tho, I have seen it go downhill. I found a lot of vendors to be quite rude and downright disgusting with the staring and weird noises they make when calling customers(I saw few directed at particular customers). i saw few customers getting yelled at by these vendors when bargaining. Like isn't this how it is supposed to be. A vendor very rudely shouted at me when I started bargaining saying - " jaao! vahi jaake kharidhlo jaha aapko discount dhe raha he."

I am super tired of this ' fixed price ' bullshit. some of these prices are ridiculous for the shit they are selling. still people are buying there like crazy. am I the only one who felt this? can anyone pls share any experiences (good and bad both are welcomed)

ps: I mentioned only a few frustrating interactions here. there are many many vedors who are kind and helpful. this post is not intended to bring down these ppl in anyway. just letting know my experience here and curious about what others felt.

pps: Never go there on the last day unless necessary. there are no 'additional discount' as a lot of ppl keep mentioning on other social media platforms. your probability of getting scammed is higher on the last day as few visitors told me.
