Big Bazaar yani Big Zatka..

Big Bazaar to me literally means a big amount of inane marketing :-)

On a sunday today and was really amazed at how dad had the patience.. :D but looked like he did.. went to the Great India Place ( The largest mall in Noida).. its hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Insanely huge.. cannot possibly do it in a day.. i havent seen a mall as big as this one.. in anycase we were out on a hunt for a bed for me and a book shelf as well.. along with shoes for me.. i did buy a shoe.. though the rest is history...

I realised one thing for sure today when we entered Big bazaar.. the idea being actually to go to Home town which is also a future group vernture for home furnitures, furnishings and blah blah..You just end up picking stupid stuff, all kinds of stuff.. maybe useful but not necessarily required at the moment... Big bazaar says they ensure you save.. but do you? because you enter , you see schemes.. you buy shit loads of stuff which u dont really need.. and wuallah.. there u r out of that place with empty pockets and trollies of stuff loaded into your car..there is just so much stuff.. and all kinds of stuff that anyone is bound to go mad..and u just go oh this one and this one too and oh this as well.. pick it all up..i want this whole place... They have become a sort of one stop shop..

i liked what dad said.. he was like nowadays living is so expensive..not because u cant afford it but unlike 10 years ago places like big bazaar ensure u over spend on things most of the times u dont need.. and other way he says to look at it is all the rich buggers who have so much money.. they find an outlet to use that money as well..

one more thing which i have always noticed with big bazaar and i think its a damn neat strategy is the fact that they place a lot of stuff next to the cash counter.. while u are waiting and u definitely wait for 10 minutes on an average in a big bazaar.. u tend to pick up half the stuff that u see in those trollies next to cash counter..

I was loving a lot of stuff in there .. like Hometown.. beautifully done bedroom setting and kiddy bunk beds.. but man they are expensive or what.. i saw this fridge which cost 2 lakhs some thousands.. leather sofa's 1 lakh some shit....dude all your dreams down the drain.. its too much.. n u say its middle class.. is it really?? i feel its crazy..

Finally one show from the entire mall and crazy amount of people and therefore run out of that place.. and then go to sector 9 where a huge amount of carpenters sit selling the same stuff at half the rate... i went there.. finally ordered a nice customised bookshelf and also ordered a nice low bed..and now i m ready to get a nice floor arrangement done once its ready..
