Hope she likes the gift too!!

Choosing a gift is something that I have had avoided. The reason being, the moment I think of buying anything, I get overtly conscious as if someone has asked me to climb the Everest, without giving me instructions. I know might sound weird to many, but this is something that has consistently been with me.  I do not know, what makes me so very conscious of the fact that I will have to buy a gift and what if the person do not likes it? This time, its birthday of my better half and I could not compromise with her in any way. The reason being, she is sweet enough and understands that her husband is not really good shopper. Every time, I end up either being with her while gifting her something, or give my card, saying she can shop as much as can. But deep down my heart, I realize, nothing can every replace the significance of giving something all by own. So having least said, this time, I had made a firm decision that I would be buying something on my own. Trust me …CityWalk is a life saver. 



By the time I was thinking of organizing birthday parties in Saket farmhouse, one of my buddies told me about Select CityWalk. He told me that I could search for booking arrangements.  Though this super spacious mall, homes the most sophisticated and best brands in Delhi, however I was not really sure where to walk-in. By the time, I was busy doing window shopping, a white dress grabbed my attention at Zara’s showroom. Though simple, yet had a glimpse of specialty in it. Without wasting much time, I rushed to the showroom, by here comes the twist. The floor assistant said that this is a dummy dress, designed by a designer. But I could get it surely, post placing an order.  Alas! I did not have time, was disappointed, but soon when the floor manager yelled back saying, ‘sir…you can take it’. That was it. He had spoken to his manger and consequentially, I managed to bag off the deal, thorough him. Yipee! I did it! I hope she likes my gift too… :-)

Birthday Party for Kids

Planning a birthday party can be a tough nut to crack, especially when it’s a tiny tot who is supposed to be all pampered in a kingly fashion. Stitching together his likes and favorites into a playful fabric can prove to be a hiccup, giving in to his tantrums an ordeal of another magnitude. Shelling out a plan that has all his likes and desires rooted calls for a quirky, swanky theme.  After all, it’s his birthday- a sure way to create lasting memories of his childhood.

If you are terrified with the how’s and the where’s of planning a birthday party, malls in Delhi can come to your rescue. That is one great option, yes. There are malls that organize some of the most terrific birthday parties in Saket.

Malls offer the advantage of laying out everything in one coordination package. All you have to do is book a hall and acquaint the organizers with the theme that you would like to lend. No, not just acquaint, but give them the tiniest of detail pertaining to the theme, only if you don’t want to disappoint your child. With laid out ideas and implementation, birthdays can be a hassle free affair. Also, they give you more time to concentrate on other important stuff- presents!!



Coming on to the theme, there are a myriad of choices to have you impressed. If you think you are short on ideas, or are not able to channel your ideas into practicality, you can always leave the work on the party planners. Of course, that might cost you a few extra bucks, but that will make things the way you and your child would want to make it- pitch perfect!

Most importantly, don’t procrastinate. Planning takes a hell lot of time, and even if you are dabbing the plan on the party planners, well even that would require a certain degree of research. So whether you are planning out yourself, or planning to give the partly planners the job, take your time to do it!

Essentials Before you Hit the Gym

What does visiting a gym essentially mean to you? Obviously it is not even a question to be asked. You are regular to work out either because you are working hard towards losing weight or you are committed to staying fit for rest of the life course. However you should not be starting these work-outs before consulting your doctor about the same owing to the fact the all individuals has different body requirements and especially if you have a medical condition which is common in a sedentary lifestyle. Apart from the doctor you should also be sure about the trainer in Delhi gym or wherever you are planning to begin your workout in.

Going to a gym everyday helps in weight management which you have struggling with may be since ever. A study says that if you are obese then losing a considerable amount of weight like even a 10% reduces the risk of your body developing serious medical conditions. A rational approach towards reducing weight includes 2 lbs. per week if you are suffering from weight issues. Unlike Delhi shopping which you can yourself involve into anytime of the day, you need to be particular about your exercising time. It is only a strong will and a serious level of dedication which will help you deal with your body fat. However before you hit the exercise space you need to be well equipped with sweating hard. Some of the essentials are:


-Quality Clothing
Without this your sweating session might be less than satisfaction. If you intend to visit the gym after work then ensure that you have some breathable and well-fitted clothes. There can be nothing more tragic if you unpack your gym bag in the locker room and realize you are not carrying your exercise pants.

-Good Shoes
Being an advanced lifter then running shoes is an indispensable in your bag. Running in sandals in Delhi gym can be worse than you probably think it will turn out.

-Music
Many people find music inspirational but it has to be your music. Your private selection of music works better. Remember to carry headphones with your mp3 player and phone.

Flea Market at a Mall

Ever wished for a cheap market within the luxurious and enjoyable premises of your mall? Well, it sound totally absurd but not in Delhi. If you are a Delhi lit frequenting south zone markets, then perhaps there’s a way to get the best of both worlds.

How often does it happen that month end is a pain for you and you still need to spend on some basic needs, or take your kids out? It’s the same story in every household. Only when your budget is under a tight noose you fall prey to all the temptation. Your kids would want a treat, you would yearn for a pretty bag or shoe and so on, but all this when you are thoughtful in parting with every dime. And you secretly wish to rob the place or find a duplicate at a local flea market.

Even the recreational visit to a cafe in Delhi is hurting. You intended a relaxing cup of coffee and a quick bite with family to at least do something on your weekends. But the pretty displays at those opulent stores won’t let you get away like that. Everything that you needed and has been postponing for the next month is right there and in the most prettiest of shades and designs.

This looks nothing but unfair. When you are penniless, things worth buying are easy to spot but when you have come prepared ready to nail it, you won’t find good stuff. Well, this is more of a psychological game. Our mind can act funny at times. But as for resisting the temptation to splurge, Select CityWalk has figured a tremendous solution. A flea markets in delhi the precinct sits their offering you designer pieces in imitation. You can get all you want at Sarojni Nagar prices but with much better quality.  

Besides this, the general lifestyle services of mall are only at a stone’s throw away. From the outside bazar, step into a new world of grandeur and sheer luxury—and all that is separated by a wood plank. You may shop outside eat inside or vice verse as you fancy. But SCW is perfect to qualify as your everyday shopping destination with so much more in the package.
