My niece, family and amusement

When my little niece was sent away to boarding school in Dehradun, there was an uproar in my family. All the elders were furious and the children were scared. No one seemed to support the idea and everyone started calling up my brother and sister-in-law to give them a piece of their mind. At that time, no one could understand the logic behind this rough decision and the family kept making illogical plans to bring her back home. It took over three months for my brother and his wife to warm everyone to the decision. They wanted to provide a good education to my niece, which was not possible in their hometown due to a lack of good schools in the district.

While most of the family stopped making further plans to bring her back home, some kept enquiring about the toys shop in Dehradun so that they could get some toys delivered to her hostel dorm. Her grandfather even took a step further and announced that he would buy a gift shop in Dehradun to be able to send gifts to the little girl on a daily basis. All of this seemed amusing to me and made me chuckle out loud in front of everyone but my brother and sister-in-law seemed worried about these announcements of unconditional love. They had big plans for their daughter which required them to send her to another country for further studies. They did not know how the family would take that decision of theirs in the future.

After a few months, almost everyone had warmed up to the decision. My niece was supposed to visit home for summer vacations and everyone seemed to be waiting for her. How do I tell you this but imagine my surprise when I got to know that her hostel warden had to purchase a luggage bag for her because she wanted to bring home all the toys she had received over the course of the last few months. Apparently, the family kept their word and sent her hundreds of toys and gifts regularly!

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...

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...
