Delhi: Winters & Shopping

I had heard a lot about Delhi from some work colleagues but never really thought I would live in the city. Having been brought up in Mumbai, my whole life was scheduled to be spent in the city but an interesting work opportunity made me reconsider my decisions and encouraged me to explore the capital of the country.

I landed in Delhi last month and found a perfect flat that I could call home in Rajouri Garden, West Delhi. It was very near to my office and had a market within walking distance. All major necessities were at an arm’s length here. I loved it!

Last week, after taking three long weeks to settle in, I had a weekend to myself for the first time. I knew I would have to build a winter wardrobe here and had already brought some light woollen clothes from Mumbai but I had underestimated the harshness of Delhi winters by a huge margin. A colleague suggested me to visit Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden, which I found to be at a 3 km distance from my new home. So, I dedicated my Saturday to shopping at what was considered to be one of the Best malls in Delhi.

I woke up, got ready and rushed to the mall around 12 pm. The mall did not seem that crowded at first but with time, it started to fill up. It was a huge mall – so huge that there were floors of brand stores and kiosks. One could buy all kinds of apparel and accessories here. The stores were exclusive, offering the best of branded merchandise and collections to patrons. There were cafes, food outlets, food court and restaurants to give the best of dining options to the visitors. As soon as I spotted these, I knew why Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden is one of the best malls in Delhi. All my needs could be taken care of here, as simple as that.

Of course, I spent way over my budget but I returned home as happy as a toddler who just got her hands on a secret stash of candies. I spent my Sunday trying on everything I had bought and video calling my friends and family to show off my glamorous purchases.

My extended family’s new obsession

My cousins are extremely happy as a great shopping mall has just been launched in their area of residence. Over the years, I have heard them whine and complain about the long commute to a mall that they would visit occasionally, which is a bit far from their area NSP Pitampura. Though that mall is not that far but the traffic would turn the half an hour commute into a one and a half hour commute, which has proven to be a huge buzzkill for the shoppers. But now, Pacific Group, the corporation behind the Pacific Malls in Delhi NCR and Dehradun, has established a new Pacific shopping mall in NSP Pitampura, at the Netaji Subhash Place metro station. This new mall has been a great news for the residents of Pitampura. Ever since the launch of the mall, shoppers and diners have been making frequent trips to the shopping centre, enjoying the short commute and shopping at all the brands that the mall has to offer to the visitors. But my aunt just informed me that ever since the launch of th...

The New Mall and My Cousins

   Ever since the new mall -  Pacific Mall  - has opened in NSP Pitampura, the life of the residents of the area has become more convenient. Before, shoppers would need to travel to interior markets or to other shopping malls afar to take care of their shopping needs and wants but now, they have a shopping centre right next to them. Now, the shoppers have access to the best of apparel, footwear, accessories, lifestyle and electronics brand outlets, all under one roof, just beside them! There is no doubt about the fact that Pacific Mall will soon be labelled as the  best shopping mall in NSP  by the shoppers and other mall visitors. My extended family resides in NSP Pitampura and has not stopped mentioning the mall on our weekly calls. My cousin is a fashion icon in her college and would have to travel to a mall in West Delhi for her seasonal shopping sprees but now, she just drives down to the mall, which takes her hardly 10 minutes, and is back home with a...

Post pandemic shopping experience

 After the beginning of the pandemic, everything went into a shun mode except the activities that were necessary to run the country and its people. The malls and the places that encouraged crowds were the first places to be shut down across country by the government. Malls have been open for a week now, and it has been a crowd puller though there have been conversations and debates on the internet surrounding the topic – whether the malls will survive the new age of online shopping. Though, it is not far from the truth to say that malls did show a decline in the number of people that came in but now the numbers are regaining its strength. Malls are termed as shopping complex and more for they encompass not only the branded stores but also cinema, entertainment and adventure zones, groceries, food halls, etc. The malls have a world of their own, which takes adults and kids both into a zone of escapism through the mere art of entertainment at a substantial price. There are many...
