It was actually a doll show at Expo Centre, Karachi on the 25^th of June 2006. Me and my family reached there in the morning and my father went straight to talk about my dolls to the incharge of the doll show. As I had already registered my name, he told us to go to the hall on the second floor and we quickly went upstairs to set the dolls. My dolls were categorized as "Collectibles" as it contained all types of dolls, including the most famous Ken & Barbie, Kevin, Disney's Tarzan, Disney's Pocahontas, porcelain dolls, my own handmade project which I had made by collecting different different materials, Barbie cups & glasses, dolls' accessories and much more. I even had made my dolls' hairstyles and stitched their clothes to give the western dolls an eastern touch, ofcourse by taking help from my dear mom and aunts. I had also stuck a "Little Mermaid" poster on my stall and even made a banner of my name on the stall. I really enjoyed my first experience when visitors visited my stall and appreciated. As it was my first experience I was really very nervous first but gradually I became bold enough to face so many families, infact huge crowds. Actually these are my parents who always encourage me and help me in every walk of my life. I am really grateful to my dad who bought me all these 42 dolls. And my mom who helped me a lot in everything- sewing of the dolls' clothes, washing of the dolls' clothes, even in decorating my stall and giving me ideas of everything. I also thank my dear brother who is elder than me and although is having his eXams right now, but he just came to help me. I thank my Khalas who helped in dress making and my aunt to give a final touch to the dolls and for helping me in making nice and cute hairstyles.  I showed the visitors my Bride and Groom to whom I had given an Eastern look. People really liked my stall specially my handmade project. Some of them even snapped my stall's photos and some people were asking me “Aren’t they for sale?” Oops!

I was very tired cause of this exhibition as I had to stand up and explain each and every detail to each and every person but enjoyed it as well.

Finally it was 7:00 pm, and the judges came. When they came at my stall, I greeted them and they saw my stall and then moved to another one. At 7:30 pm, the incharge told me to wind up all the stuff back and I did so. Then we went downstairs. After some time there was an announcement and the prize distribution of the winners. Rest of the participants like me will be given certificates after some time. Although I am not amongst the winners but the inexplicable happiness that arose in my heart of participating and getting a chance to display my dolls is just everything.

I am really very thankful to my family, my relatives, aunts, and ofcourse the Expo team.
