Palm Beach Galleria and City Center Mall, Vashi

I visited these stunning malls last weekend. Both the malls stand next to each other like siblings. They both are huge, both have movie multiplexes - Adlabs and CineMax, both offer great options to shop and eat!

However, I was disappointed with City Center, Vashi, for just one thing. The elevators don't halt at level 1 (and I think level 2 as well). So if there are pregnant ladies, old people, physically challenged people or just anyone who is very tired and scared of escalators, they are in a mess. If one of these reach at level 4 and then need to come to level 1, there's not much that they can do but struggle on the stairs to reach their destination. I think the mall must do something about this. I don't understand why the lifts don't halt at level 1!

Shopping at Pantaloons, Santacruz, Mumbai

Last week I visited the Pantaloons store in Santacruz, Mumbai. I prefer to shop at the Pantaloons' Lower Parel store. But this one in Santacruz is a new store and I went with great expectations.

Review:
  1. The collection as expected is not very typical like what you come across in most of the shopping malls.
  2. However, if you opt for the small / medium size in ladies garments, well, there's not much you'll like.
  3. For kids' shopping, it's a complete satisfaction. I loved taht section of the store that I almost was about to purchase a stuff toy or two from there.
  4. If you are a female and a Pantaloons store fan, I suggest you visit the Lower Parel store for a greater variety and a better experience.

Another shopping day at Hypercity




Diwali! Just another reason to shop, isn't it! So the other evening when I was getting really bored of the 4-day vacation, I decided to indulge in some just-for-time-pass shopping at the nearby Hypercity mall.

I love the idea of being in that super spacious mall and spend some time with just myself and my shopping. The mall, as expected during the festive season, was pretty much busy that day. Amidst the various amazing offers and deals, along with the well planned layout of the mall, it's impossible that you exit without purchasing anything at all.

Shopping Mall Review:
The customer care is surprisingly helpful as well. While almost everyone had a trolley overloaded with impulsive as well as some necessary shopping items, I was conservative enough to opt for a few things in my basket! I think Hypercity has some 25 odd cash counters. So while I was looking around for a smaller queue, a gentleman from Hypercity walked up to me and asked me to come out at a special customer care section ahead of the cash counters. Wow! I must say I was truly impressed. What I observed at that section was that there they had invited some people with minimal shopping items so that they don't waste their time awaiting their turn behind those who had done tons and tons of shopping.

Well, if you want to feel special and peaceful after indulging in shopping, i recommend you visit Hypercity at least once.
