Nostalgias Of A Young Shopper

These days, Select Citywalk has become something akin to a second home for me –and many others, I’m sure. If I feel a need to shop (or window shop) emerge, I end up there; if I’ve meeting up with friends for coffee or a meal, Citywalk it is; or if it’s too hot in the summer time or too cold during winters to hang out outside, Citywalk is always the safest bet.


But with all the gigantic, sprawling shopping malls that have cropped up all over the city, I sometimes feel nostalgic about shopping centres that used to be the go-to places when I was just a kid. Does anyone even remember Ansal Plaza anymore? Well, I do. From time to time I find myself missing those days. When it was just the one place we would go to.
Going to Ansal Plaza would become an entire day’s event, it wasn’t just every day that we’d go there (as has become the case with the shopping malls of today, we just end up there for no rhyme or reason much too frequently), so when we did it was something like a special outing. It used to be one of the Best Places to shop in delhi, so first on my family’s agenda was to shop. A couple of hours of shopping cashed in, I would run off to ‘Funky Orbit’, the Best Kids play zone in New Delhi, oh it was an absolute haven for children back then! I still hold that Funky Orbit is the Best Kids play zone in New Delhi there ever was –nothing comes close to the memories I have of it. Next, would be time for some food –McDonald’s being every kid’s idea of fine dining at that time. It used to be among the Best Places to shop in delhi; it was small yet wholesome for our needs back then. Things have now changed –perhaps for the better- but I still retain an element of nostalgia from what seems like eons ago.
