Meena Bazaar of the new age

What is the best thing about being in a CP office?

Believe me it is not the PVR nor the restaurants here that match up to something else that is here – JANPATH.

It is a small lane which has shops lined up on both the sides, selling a mound of stuff. From clothes, shoes, slippers, junk jewelry to books, watches, bags, belts, vases, flowers and all the other jing bangs you can think of! All of this stuff very “in” fashion and very kooooool for the pocket. Warning: the place is not for the brand freaks.

Well you can say it’s a girls’ paradise.
( It was totally boring with two of the guy friends I went there with, they just couldn’t understand the concept!!!)

What is its charm? How do I explain?

Well imagine then a group of gals, chattering non stop and shopping together. Hopping from one shop to the other and checking out the different variety of the trendy, hot, sober, formal, hip, short long clothes. Looking for tops, t shirts, jaipuri kurtas or the long frilly frocks. Or trying to match the junk jewelry with the clothes just shopped. The shop to shop mix of both Indian and western styles. A girl can look as western as she wants and the foreigners can look as Indian as they like. The fun part is not only the shopping, but the bargaining as well, you can say less than 50% of the price and get the item for it. So the winner is the one who can bargain the most! Then after all that hopping and shopping, you can hog on the spicy sprouted moong ki daal ka chat or have a biiiiig papad to munch on. Or relish the patty burger type of snacks and a cool milk shake from the shop just behind the bazaar.

It’s a total “gals day out” kind of hang out. You can say the new day Meena Bazaar (a bazaar for the queens n princesses of Lal quila in the old times).
I have been there almost every fortnight in my graduation and now again that I m here so near to it, I went there with my internship pals. It was more fun than ever.

A simple place, with no frills, perfect for hanging out and having fun.
Ideal for the gurls to catch up on life, boy friends, movies and the vagaries beyond.
