                        We were in the mood of enjoy on the Independence Day. We wanted to celebrate this day out of the home so for that we had many options in our hand wiz Bithoor, new movie, temples etc. A new movie “Ek Tha Tiger” was released that day but I wanted to know the response first so we quit this option. Visiting Bithoor easily needs a full day so this option was also dropped. Keeping option of temples open for any other occasion we decided to move to the biggest mall of the Kanpur city – Z SQUARE MALL. Since we have not visited this mall together yet and we had to do some shopping as well so we decided to enjoy the day at this mall.

                        We entered the mall around 2:30 pm on our bike. The 2 wheeler parking was fully packed. There was hardly any space for new vehicle to be parked. Let me tell you that the parking area of this mall is very large and separate for 2 & 4 wheels. But considering the crowd which was there to celebrate the big occasion like us, the parking area was looking insufficient. Anyhow I parked my Hero Honda Passion Plus bike however at that time I was wondering about difficulties that I will face at the time of exit. I also traced one big problem of parking that there was not even a single mark/identification on any of the walls or pillar to locate your parked vehicle which makes your work very difficult to find out your vehicle at the time of leaving the mall. However I looked my bike’s location very carefully and then we moved towards the lift.

                        We came to the first floor by lift. It was a great look there. Well decorated hall, Crowd moving around, sweet patriotic music, it was really mesmerising. Tricolour balloons, big artificial trees, great icons of London with Olympic symbol, these all were creating a great view. Visitors were enjoying the great scenes and excited to take photographs with their smart phones and digital cameras. We looked at this all from one place for about 15 minutes and then decided to take a round of the floor. Many international stores/brands are here wiz. Westside/ she/ biba etc. After taking the round we decided to move to the ground floor where Future group’s venture “Big Bazar” is located. We had to do some shopping from here. We came to the ground floor by escalators. Shreya was little scary about escalators in the starting but she learnt it very quickly.       

                        After entry-point checking we entered to the BIG BAZAR. It was even more packed with the crowd. The last day of super saver offer and celebration time could be the reasons for this. I have not seen this much of crowd at any store in the last few months. At one time I was thinking that we have chosen the wrong day for shopping. It was really difficult to move in the crowd. Anyhow we also mixed up into the crowd and checked every counter. We finished our shopping there in around 1:30 hrs. After paying the bill through Debit card we came out of the store. Now after shopping we wanted to take some photographs so we took some photos here of big artificial trees and then decided to move to first floor again.

                        On that floor also we took some photos with Shreya’s Samsung DUOS mobile phone. London Olympic symbol, Pisa Tower etc were very good things to be in front of while taking photos. Now the time was around 4:30 pm so we decided to wind up our shopping for the day. So we took the lift to go to the 2 wheels parking.

                        At parking we found my bike easily b’coz it was parked very near to the lift area. It was around 5 pm so more people were coming inside so it was almost jam condition there. There was lots of noise/horns/humidity. It was creating panic there. We just wanted to be out from there as soon as possible. However it took only 7-8 minutes to move out from there.

                        Crowd could be the problem on such occasions but still it’s true that the markets/shops/malls are fade without crowd. Crowd is the life of these places so definitely we enjoyed a lot. This type of decoration/ environment/ crowd is not available every time we move to mall so we had a great time there and it will be in our mind for a long-long time.

Thanks.
