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!

Old memories

I am a twenty five year old woman but whenever I find time, I visit a popular toys shop in Dehradun . Dehradun is very close to my town and having a developed city so near to me has always been a great thing. The city is a 30 minute drive from my town and whenever I need a change of air or am feeling blue, I just head over to Dehradun and hang out at Hamleys toy store in Pacific Mall. I find the toy store very warming as it reminds me of my childhood. My late grandfather would take me to a toys shop and a gift shop in Dehradun on the weekends and would encourage me to pick a small toy or an accessory of my choice. I look back at these memories with great love. To relive the memories, I visit the Hamleys toy store and the Archies gift store in Pacific Mall, Dehradun . Sometimes, my brother tags along and I encourage him to pick a small toy or an accessory just like how my grandfather did with me. Lately, my brother has been accompanying me on these trips more frequently. I think he h...

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.
