I had visitors from hills over the last few days and my better half has been coaxing me to take them out for a lunch and show the marvels of Gurgaon, The MALLS. I have been avoiding it like plague as going on a sight seeing trip to a mall is not my cup of (green) tea.
She warned me, "tomorrow is the last day that guests are here and under no circumstances I am gonna cook sunday lunch. Enough is enough, move your heavy body and take them to the largest mall in India with 1 km of shopping on each floor".
I am still not sure whether the objective was to avoid cooking, being a guide to guests at home or a clear signal to exercise to be in shape. Like a student preparing for the competitive exams, I had no choice but to listen to Ma'am.
After the customary drive, wait at the security at The Mall for about 10 minutes, queue of 14 cars before me to the B2 parking, I landed at the prized mall grinning like a kid who has found a box of sweets.
One went through explaining Lladro, Noritake, BMWs, Body Shop, Damas and a big activity by RBS.
All was going smoothly as there was thin crowd as if the only visitors were to the multiplex on level 3 and 4 and 5 and what not.
Surprise, surprise - there was no place to sit in the food court. People were all over, right, left, left of the right and still more at the stand in counters. More than 15 outlets in the food court. All not having same length of the queue but sitting places were all taken. Saw many families with kids. Surely many mums don't want to cook on sunday mornings.
My estimate is that there were at least 500 people in the food court alone. The choice of food (purely based on the fact of my strategic location in the sitting area from where I could have a look at almost all dispensing outlets):
1. North Indian thali
2. Chana Bhatura
3. Pizza
4. Burgers
5. Chinese
6. South Indian (Dosas)
7. Sandwiches
8. Kebabs
9. Mexican
10. Momos
Its a different story all together about my continuous movement of head and looking around that created a huge suspicion amongst my guests and better half.
It can be summed up when she said, "I have heard of stiff neck but you seem to be having a spring neck today."
Need a good night sleep.....
