Where can I get a manji or charpai in the US??

[RazPaK]

Basically I hate matresses and beds. The sleep you get on a charpai is superior and I like it better. The question is where can I get my hands on one in the US?

Well it depends.. which city are you in?

 

[RazPaK]

I live close to NYC.

Reminds me of an old time Punjabi movie dialogue ( can't remember if it was Rangeela or Zareef ). Does anyone remember ?


MANJI KITHAY DAVEIANA ?

Search on Ebay

You can bring the material with you and can make it in newyork. Its easy to make

I also miss it

 

[Donatello]

Lol.....

Anyway, why don't you ask some furniture seller in Pakistan? They can usually ship your charpai/manji to USA. Should be cheap but take maybe 3-4 weeks for delivery time.

Or you can ask your relatives/friends in Pakistan to buy an un-assembled one and send it via DHL/FedEx as they usually have provisions for bigger shipments.

Put some sheets on a charpai, toh mazaa bhi kuch aur hota hain. If I was that rich, I would have imported one already by I am only a student. And dude that **** is not that easy to make. Maybe I'm dumb or lack talent, but I could never weave the ropes/raasi.

Your best bet is sites like ebay and maybe talking to other desi students at school then =P

I remember in Pakistan I would sleep on these at night on top of the roof deck looking up at stars, great memories.
