What do normal people generally do on weekends especially when it's the "end of season" sale everywhere? Right, they go shopping....which is precisely what I did along with my roomies on saturday...there was this huge Shoppers' Stop ad that was published in Bombay Times which we came across and thought of giving it a try...and off we went to Inorbit, Vashi...little did we know that what was in store for us was huge disappointment...:(
Ok, so Inorbit Mall is located right next to Vashi railway station and boy! it's one helluva mall! It's colossal and houses all the branded stores you could possibly think of and that might lead you into believing that shopping over here, must be a completely different experience altogether....which is actually true...you know why? coz we ended up getting back empty handed! I would say, that is a completely different experience indeed!!! Not one store had decent stuff to offer and in the name of 50% off, they had all trashy items on display. Believe it or not, every single store had the most hideous collection ever which is why maybe, Inorbit witnessed low footfalls! Forget the quality of the collection, what was all the more frustrating was the pricing...ordinary stuff with extraordinary (read huge) price tags...aarghh...mall experience REdefined I guess...
I don't say malls always have the best to offer but you do expect to pick a couple of things at least, if you are out shopping...anyway, sometimes things get strange :D
And speaking of strange things, this cafe I spotted at Inorbit needs a mention...it's called "Potpourri"; nothing strange about that, in fact, it being my blog's namesake, I like it even more...what was strange cum funny was the fact that the cafe had a marathi board which read "पोट पूरी" (the 't' is silent for heaven's sake)! I bet that made you laugh hahaha!!

hmm...same is the case in bangalore! and hs always been! i hv begun to believe tht the season-end sale is in fact just a pretext to get rid of outdated and hideous items, by making fools out of common ppl!
regards 'pot puri', all i cn say is "Mr. Raj Thakare"! :D
I agree..."SALE" is just another marketing gimmick companies pull off at the end of the financial year...
But common...Inorbit isnt that bad a mall!
:-)
Maybe you just went there at the wrong time..
ummm...and sorry...still din get the poT pourri thing...The "t" is always there naaa...wat do u mean by its "silent"?
just wondering...
@ Shantanu-I completely agree with you about malls getting rid of their stock...& lol abt Raj Thackeray!!
@ Prasad-I know Inorbit isn't bad but I was in for a shock! Maybe wrong time as you said; as for T in potpourri, yup it's very much there..the silent T refers to the pronunciation of the word!
