Shopping In Delhi

Last week i was in Delhi to attend my cousin's marriage. Due to my busy schedule i had postponed my shopping till i reached Delhi, which i realized was a big mistake. I reached Delhi a week in advance and thought was sufficient to socialize and to shop. Alas! i shud have known that this is not Blore. In Blore u do not have much choice (which i always crib abt), few Malls and that is it. Delhi is very different i realized u have so many markets, so many choices and so many Kilometers to roam, all in all a perfect recipe to leave u confused. Same happened with me, i started my shopping spree from Lajpat Nagar looking for some clothes that i wud wear on Engagement Day. Lajpat Nagar market is full of showrooms as well as road side shops and thus provides u lot of choice. But to a person like me who hates shopping its only a waste of time. As i had no clothes ready for the marriage i had no choice but to explore all the options :(, after looking in 5-8 shops i bought a Kurta Pajama which i think looked cool on me :) (i am waiting for the pics)
The next day we headed to GK, the place is full of showrooms.....an ideal place to do window shopping and yea to see beautiful grls :) i thought since the place is not big i wud be done with shopping in half a day and wud get the much needed sleep. But my cousin (groom) had other plans, we wanted to buy shoes and whenever we liked smthing someone or the other wud say lets look in other shops and come back (notice the culprit CHOICE), in doing so we spent the whole day just in buying shoes...well i am not complaining it was for Groom who had to look the best (i suppose).
The next day was spent in CP hunting for a suit, i never realized that buying a suit is gng to be the toughest. I spent the whole day looking and trying suits after suits and bought nothing.
The next day we headed to Noida -sec 18 and finally i bought a suit which i think i am not gng to wear again in near future.
After 4 days i was almost done with my shopping and was so tired, but there was one thing still missing, Sherwani for the marriage. Fortunately that was gng to be stitched and i needn't had to bother abt it (thank god!).

Shopping in Delhi taught me one lesson, the more choices u have the more confused u get, so next time do ur shopping frm Bangalore :)
Also never go out shopping with Fashion Designers as they tend to experiment but i am not complaining coz i looked cool (i think).

So u went for the so called 'big fat Indian wedding'. And which fashion designer accompanied you?And very true having choices just elongates the decision process.

I hate shopping especially if it involves making a choice. I prefer to walk-in, get what I want and get out. No window shopping for me!

Abhinav said...

raj: same here.
