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!

College, Malls and Dreams

  I lived in Dwarka, New Delhi for 3 years, from 2013 to 2016, for my college education. I rented a bed in a paying guest accommodation in Dwarka Sector 13 and would travel to Dwarka Sector 9 six days a week. This was my first time living away from home and it took me a while to get used to the independent lifestyle. Things became better when I made a few good friends in college and formed a good social circle. After the college classes, some of us would want to hang out and to find a decent place, we would visit all the malls around looking for a dining establishment where we could sit and relax for hours on end. My friends and I must have visited over 4 malls in a week but found none of them to be operational. We did spot a few food joints but the rush of customers would force us to leave the establishments after our meals. We wished and hoped that someone would build a fully-operational Mall in Dwarka for us but it just did not happen in the three years of our college lives. ...

An Attractive Destination

Dehradun used to be an institutional area in the late 90’s but by the early 2000s, the city started developing its residential, commercial and recreational sectors to appeal to migrating families, school and college-going youth and salaried employees. Real estate agents and private builders stepped in to take over the residential sector, corporations stepped in to develop the commercial sector and entrepreneurs stepped in to establish recreational zones in and near the commercial and residential sectors. The entrepreneurs invested in restaurants, movie theatres, cafes, bars and game zones to take advantage of the rapidly increasing young crowd in the city. As more and more institutional groups set up colleges in the city, restaurants and movie theatres started observing a rush of crowds. There were already many restaurants in Dehradun in the late 90’s but the establishments catered to the well-off families who would dine at the restaurant every once in a while. But in the early 20...
