Malls are not mere shopping destinations anymore

Mall culture took over our lives quicker than expected by answering to our every shopping need. Online shopping has again changed our habits to some extent but a visit to your favourite good old mall is always refreshing. Beginning in 1950s in the USA, the mall trend took its time to reach India and establish itself as favourite of so many. As malls continue to outgrow their approach, they emerge as even hotter prospects of entertainment.

No matter if it’s hot or cold outside, in a mall you will always have the perfect temperature. You can have brisk walks, sit around the corner and read or shop for whatever you want, summing up the factors needed to make the perfect city.

But malls are much more than that now. In India alone, all the international fashion brands are available at big malls, along with other major names in automobile, mobile and technology, food industry besides bars and food courts. There’s even more now!

Want to party and dance your heart out, you can tap your feet to the bass at any of the clubs in Saket mall. DJs from all across the world have made an appearance to make the crowd go wild to their beats. The mall also has a dedicated fitness centre – shop your way around, eat out at the food court and you can still stay healthy.

It also has the best cinematic experience in the vicinity through none other than PVR cinemas. Films from all over the world are released here so you can’t miss any of your most awaited flicks. You can book the tickets online or from the box office. Shopping malls are also safe and bring together so many different experiences under one roof. There are even gaming centres where you can challenge your buddy on the PlayStation.

The story doesn’t end there as even luxury stay in Saket mall is available now. If the mall provides such a perfectionist option to spend a few hours, imagine how comfortable living staying the night would be. The grandiose and opulence of the mall is well matched by the options to stay.

Malls also become an integral part of our lives thanks to the way they celebrate festive periods. You would see saffron and green everywhere on patriotic holidays and a mark of secularism of our country when each festival like Diwali, Holi, Christmas etc. is celebrated with equal zeal. Even New Year’s sees a huge footfall as people get attracted by discounts and merry ambience of the mall.
