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 has also started liking this little personal ritual of ours. My grandfather passed away before he was born, sadly. Maybe, my brother will look back at our mall trips with love when he is all grown up.

Of course, the stores that I would visit with my grandfather were different but they have shut down since. Now, these new stores are the only stores that are easily accessible and are located at a convenient location. Also, when I was a child, the kind of toys available in the market were very different. Now, the toys are more advanced and complex, catering to the new generation of children. It is not the same but this is the closest I can feel to the old memories I hold so dearly in my heart. And I hope to create such memories for my brother, so that he can look back at our trips with love and maybe create new memories with his children in the future.

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...
