4 Places in Delhi for Shopaholics

Delhi, capital of India has a lot of things to offer. It has both overwhelming history and fine modern culture. It is known for its heritage and different way of life and traditions. This richness is reflected in the food of Delhi, as the city offers different types of people a variety of cuisines and so on. Delhi is the place you swear by, no matter whether you are an avid shopper or you are a foodie like me, you would definitely fall in love with this place and for those who love street food, Delhi is heaven for them.

Are you planning a trip to Delhi? If you are, do pay a visit to the historical monuments, forts and mosques. For all the shopaholics out there, you have to visit its several markets to enjoy shopping in Delhi at its best. 

Delhi is the hub of places to shop. From the lavish buildings of shopping malls to the wide spread street shopping sites, the city of Delhi has it all. Here’s a list of markets where you can buy fashionable, stylish and trendy clothes without making a hole in your pocket. Also, learn the skills of bargaining from Delhiites while you’re shopping.

•Sarojini Nagar- It is named after Sarojini Naidu. This place is one of the popular shopping areas in Delhi to buy clothes. Sarojini Nagar is slightly different than others as if you are looking for branded clothes at a cheap price, then this is place you should be. If you are in hurry, I would suggest not going there as there are lots of options to confuse you. You better avoid Sunday afternoons as it is the rush hour, with the locals coming out to shop.

•Lajpat Nagar- It is famously known for hand-made embroidery of Lucknow chickan. This place demands to be visited once when you are in Delhi. You can get various kinds of accessories, clothes, footwear and saris here. If you have already got some bargaining skills, you might even save a few bucks while shopping from Lajpat. You will also discover some mehendiwalas around the market. They apply mehendi at a very nominal price. One important thing to keep in mind is that the shopping area is closed on Mondays, so plan accordingly.

•Chandni Chowk- This place is one of the oldest and most popular markets in Delhi. It holds an astonishing amount of history. The place is very crowded and encompasses every colour of Delhi. Katra Neel Market is one of its famous markets here, which offers various kind of fabrics like silks, satin, cotton, muslin and crepe. Khari Baoli is a must visit for spice lovers. One can buy electrical goods from Bhagirath market which is Asia’s largest market for electrical goods and this also offers medical equipment and allopathic medicines. If you are fanatical with pearl jewellery, you must visit Moti Bazar; which offers exquisite collection of pearl jewellery.

•Janpath Market- The shops are starting from outer circle of Connaught place to Windsor Place. It’s attracting tourists with its colourful shawls, attractive t-shirts, dazzling earrings and a lot of junk jewellery. If you are an ethnic lover, this place will surely satiate your desire for junk jewellery. In winter, you can get some really good woolen clothes within your budget. Janpath market is closed on Sundays.

If you want to visit a mall in Delhi, you can go to Select Citywalk, one of biggest malls in Delhi and if you are with your family, this mall has a huge kids’ play zone. It is known to have quite an well- liked kids play zone in New Delhi.

Why are Malls so Popular?

Up until a few years back, stepping out of the house, whether for a family outing or a groups of friends getting together, was a hassle. There were not many places that a group of people could come to a consensus easily and in time. There were of course, the typical markets and bazaars, and playgrounds and such. But there was still no such place, where one could a multitude of different things all under one roof. One would still have to shop in one place, then travel either by auto, or on foot to go somewhere else to eat and then travel some more to finally get back home.

However, since that time, people of the city have been blessed by the boon that are malls. Malls like Select Citywalk and more quickly grabbed eyeballs from near and far and gained immense popularity within a relatively short period of time. These malls have the thing that people have been wanting all this while and that is almost everything one can imagine to have a good time, in one place.

It is no wonder, that malls have become so popular, that they have become the go to place for people all over the city. Whenever a group is unable to decide on where to go, the easy answer is a mall. In a mall, one can shop, eat, watch a movie, and even participate in a number of different activities, without having to travel much.

One can find in a mall, the best restaurant in Delhi, top brands for shopping, from domestic to unknown and unheard of international brands too. The versatile and vast nature of malls which is able to cater to people of all ages, from small kids to the elderly, is something that perfectly lures people over to it. All these reasons are more than enough to elevate the popularity of a mall.

The Best Anniversary Gift For My Brother!

It was my elder brother’s 10th marriage anniversary. We’ve always surprised each other on occasions like birthdays, and anniversaries. Since this is their 10th I decided to go a bit out of ordinary. I am settled in Delhi for about five years now. My brother too, once lived here while he was pursuing his graduation and this is where he met his wife. I have heard him recollect so many events about their love story which blossomed in this city. Sadly, he barely comes to Delhi now as he is settled with his wife and kid in our home town, Bangalore.

I invited my brother and sister-in law to Delhi and after a lot of coaxing and convincing; they took out time out their busy schedule and they agreed to pay a visit. Their arrival was on the night before their anniversary. My husband and I went to receive them at the airport and after the initial greetings; we led them to a car which was not ours. We kept their son with us though, who happily came with his beloved aunt! I booked for a suite in a luxury hotel for them and arranged for a dinner in one of the best restaurants in Delhi the following night.

The hotel I booked for them was in close proximity to the area where their college is. No wonder they were elated to walk down the memory lane after so many years. I sent them to a movie in one of the cinemas in Saket where they used to go while they were dating. They were short of words out of joy and I was glad when they said this was their best anniversary gift ever! The last day of their stay we all had a grand dinner together and their happiness was evident.

Sure, all these arrangements were a bit heavy on pocket, but I realized that cherished memories are the best part of someone’s life and one should never lose an opportunity to celebrate it, re-visit it.

SALE- CATCHING ATTENTION SINCE FOREVER

If you ask delhiites about the best place to spend a day out, they instantly publicize Saket! I think Saket has everything to make a day fun- multiple shopping malls, a fair number of peaceful forts, various public parks and a large number of restaurants and food joints.

While the restaurants of Saket are known for their variety and ambience, the cinemas in saket are among the halls providing the best of the screens. The Sundays are literally packed with the audience and the halls are generally seen displaying “houseful” boards and notices.

While Saket remains the favorite of a number of Delhiites, including me, there are several other places to shop in delhi, which are not typically shopping malls but lure the people with their display of variety of items and their ever going “SALE”. Some of these shopping places won’t even wait for the change in season to provide “off-season” sales. Let’s look at some of the interesting ideas of “sale” that these shops utilize constantly.

•    50% off: I can’t think of a lady whose head doesn’t get turned by a “50% off” board! Most of the shops use this technique, no matter what season it is, to increase their sales of clothes and garments.


•    Buy 1 Get 1: This is another type of trick to trap the women out there into buy two things at a time, because they just won’t let go of this special opportunity of getting two things at the price of one. What a luck!


•    Buy 2 get 1: Technically, this is a better strategy than buy 1 get 2 for gaining profit. If you know math, the percentage gain in this case is higher than the former case, and surprisingly this tricks has the ability to generate a sudden requirement of three things!


Basically, the huge “SALE” board does the magic, even if the actual calculation says you spent just as much you do without a sale!

COFFEE IS HEROIC

I don’t trust people who don’t like coffee. Like really! Who doesn’t love coffee? Cafes in delhi and other metropolitan cities serve coffee combining it with different flavors and making it even more attractive. Morning coffees or night coffees, they all are welcome. And why wouldn’t they be, when they provide health benefits in addition to deliciousness. Here’s a list of health benefits of coffee that make it a perfect beverage.

• Coffee burns fat: - Caffeine is one of the very few natural substances that burn fat. Now since the main ingredient of coffee is caffeine, coffee is quite effective in burning extra fat and amplifying the metabolism rate. Studies have shown that coffee can boost the metabolism rate by 3-11%. So if you’re the one thinks all day long about the fat you have gained, go grab a cup of coffee and let it be your handy gym!

• Coffee lowers risk of type 2 diabetes: -We often hear about people suffering from type 2 diabetes and number of deaths caused due to diabetes is increasing rapidly. Several observational studies have shown that the coffee drinkers have a lower risk of type2 diabetes as compared to the non-coffee drinkers. Great! That means I will not die out of diabetes.

• Coffee fights depressions and make you happier: - Heartbreaks or bad exam results, there are a lot of day to day happenings that give us pain to an extent that makes us feel like there’s no way out to live a happy life. To combat with such mental sufferings and depressions, a cup of coffee works in wondrous ways. Coffee makes you happy. For me, the best restaurant in delhi is one which serves complimentary coffee with every meal we order. Wouldn’t it be great way of spreading happiness?

With so many health benefits, coffee is the perfect hero which blends healthiness with tastiness.

Burst Your Stress With Shopping

A girl can never get tired of shopping. Those who dislike shopping or only shop when required, can never understand people like me. Of course, there are occasions like weddings or parties, when shopping becomes necessary. But I don’t wait for all my clothes to get worn-out before I step out of my house to shop. For me, shopping in Delhi is a stressbuster.

On my most recent visit to my favourite mall, I was pleasantly surprised on seeing the revamped look of the food court. I was so impressed with the ambiance which was simply perfect for having quality conversation with friends and family over coffee, lunch, or dinner. After having lunch at the food court, my friends and I headed towards the movie hall. We had already bought the tickets for the movie we had been eagerly waiting to watch. We munched on the nachos while we watched with wonder the incredible action sequences. Since it was a lazy Saturday evening and we had no time restrictions, we decided to shop at our favourite store. There is a reason why it is our absolute favourite. It is store which has apparel, accessories, and footwear all under one roof. Be it sportswear, party dresses, or casual clothes- you would find it all. While I bought some trendy pairs of footwear, my best friend and her twin sister bought accessories to add to their already-huge collection.

Famished after hours spent on shopping, we left the mall and visited a popular café and bar in Delhi which we had been dying to visit for so long. But the best part was yet to come. The next day being Sunday, I decided to sleep over at my friend’s place. The best part about my relationship with my best friend is that I can talk to her about anything and we never ever run out of topics. After hours of endless chatter, we decided to sleep at around 6 in the morning. The next morning, oh wait, the next afternoon I returned home with my colourful shopping bags containing my precious clothes. I was all set to flaunt my trendy clothes!

My Love For Shoes

Gone are the days when people gave no thought to the choice of their footwear. The importance of wearing the right kind of shoes cannot be overemphasized. It is practically impossible to go on with our lives with a single pair of footwear in this day and age. Can you imagine wearing the same pair at home, to work, to the market, or to any other event/party/marriage? I am sure you just shook your head.

My sister and I have an entire cabinet dedicated to the storage of our shoes, sandals, slippers, and all kinds of footwear. We recently visited one of the well-known shopping malls in India. The purpose of our visit was to shop for apparel-office and casual both (since we both are working). But we just could not stop ourselves from entering the inviting shoe stores. Men can never understand the love for shoes we women have. And to be very honest, even though we have so many pairs of footwear, we still don’t have enough. I forgot to mention before that half of them are old, worn out, or uncomfortable. My sister and I have almost the same shoe size, so we do have many common pairs. But there is something very wrong in the way she naturally walks (she knows that). All of her footwear become bootless within a few days.  And there is so much variety of shoes in Delhi. When we go to a mall or a market, we simply can’t avoid staring at all the lovely pairs. And we can’t just stare; we have to buy too, right?

Now that I have started talking about shoes, I would tell you about a funny incident that happened in my life. My mother, my sister, and I had gone to a local market near our house.  Our mother wanted to buy vegetables and we had just accompanied her. While she was bargaining, my sister and I suddenly spotted a newly opened shoe shop. We promised ourselves that we would just ‘peek through’ and come back. But old habits die hard. We went in and scanned all shelves, and came out with 2 bags full of shoes. I would never forget the expression on my mother’s face when she saw us with the bags. That day that amazing shoe store became our favourite shop. It has always been of great help in emergency situations (for instance, cousin’s wedding tonight and we forgot to buy matching footwear).

By now you must have comprehended the depth of our love for shoes. If not, you must see us shopping once!

The Agony Of Finding The Perfect Birthday Outfit

Year after year, when the time comes for a big birthday bash, I’m in the midst of a nervous breakdown. Why, you ask? It’s pretty straightforward, but just the thought of it brings me to tears: What to wear?!

Generally, I’m not one to think twice about what to wear. My daily routine is this: I just jump out of bed and into the shower; then I reach into my closet and pull out whatever my hand gets a good hold of first (form the intertwined mess of all my worldly possessions), and just go with it! Simple, isn’t it?

But the moment my birthday comes round the corner, gone are the days of careless (or carefree, rather) dressing, and I can’t make head of tail of my messy wardrobe. Now what’s the easiest way to tackle this looming problem of what to wear? - Select Citywalk.

Whether it’s chic or classy, Rastafarian or casual, funky or sexy, cool or elegant… The plethora of best brands and stores at Select Citywalk has it all.

But the contentment is somewhat short-lived… For then there’s the matter of actually planning the party. But who cares, I’ve got my outfit sorted out, I’m golden!

Gym Essentials for Fitness Freaks: A Beginner’s Guide

Have you just got a membership in a Delhi's best gym? In any case, don’t let that empty gym bag stare at you right in your face. Fill it up with fitness essentials if you want your workout to be productive. Saket Citywalk mall is one of Delhi’s shopping centres where you can easily find all the things you need for your gym bag. Even though every gym bag differs according to an individual’s goals, yet there are a few must-haves that you couldn’t do without.
 

So stock up your gym bag with the following fitness essentials for a successful workout session at a 

Delhi gym:
 

• Comfortable training clothes.

Without quality training clothes, your workout is probably going to be a miserable failure. So, if you plan to hit the gym after a long day at work, remind yourself to grab some breathable, well-fitted clothing for your workout! It would save you from the catastrophe of not being able to find your shorts in the locker room while you’re getting ready for the workout.
 

• Good quality shoes.

You don’t want to show up at a Delhi gym in a pair of sandals. That would be a complete disaster! Running shoes are fine to begin with. Once you become an advanced lifter, you can get a pair of cross-trainers. Also, remember to make sure that they are able to provide you adequate support for the type of training you choose to do.
 

• Towel

Sweating is a normal phenomenon in a gym and you are about to soak yourself in it sufficiently. You do realize that you will need something to wipe yourself with. A towel should definitely be counted as a gym essential.
 

• Music

Did you know that music has a lot to do with motivation? Most people like to exercise with their headphones on. Haven’t you wondered why? It’s because your personal collection will deliver the best results than the mainstream music you find playing at these gyms. Apart from your phone, you should make it a habit to never leave your house without a pair of headphones too. You know, just to feel motivated at all times!

So if you follow these tips and tricks, your beginner’s workout will be a sorted deal. All you are left to do is go to a Delhi's shopping centre and get hold of the things you may not already have for a productive workout. Happy gymming!

Which Gym Accessories Do You Really Need?

It’s not just obesity that is driving the youth towards gyms and health clubs. Fitness is the new buzz word. A well-chiselled body with shapely abs is a trend and youngsters are ready to sweat out profusely and spend almost any amount on their physique. And with gymnasiums conveniently stationed at Malls in Delhi, the accessory stores are the obvious destinations on the way.

However, amid a cartload of options of equipment and paraphernalia, it is essential to know which ones you really need, if any at all. Weight lifting belt is one such accessory, which is usually used incorrectly or unnecessarily, says a Delhi Gym trainer.

It is one of the most commonly used gym accessory, though, hardly 2% of the people using it actually need one. Most men wear it all through the work-out, or even if for weights, they are usually not required. Essentially, these are meant for very heavy weight training—often meaning heavy sets of squats and deadlifts. Someone on heavy weight training can damage the core, hence the protective support gear. However, using it for biceps curls and bar lifts is completely unnecessary. 

Also, for starters, it’s not just unnecessary but ill-advised to use it as it prevents strength build-up in the middle section. The use is only advised when you have climbed up the ladder on your weight lifting program and really feel one is necessary either for providing the extra support to your back or the intra-abdominal pressure that increases the lifting capacity slightly.

Well. There’s a lot more to be said in context to the same, but have saved it aside for the next post…till then stay hooked to the space ….

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!

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.        

Does chocolate cheers you up?

So, what’s the matter? Once more there’s an extensive range of cuisines, but still you are obsessed with the feeling of something missing in the menu??? Well, fret not or feel anxious in any way! Many of us feel this way. The only difference is a few of us could feel it, whereas rests are too very hooked up in our hectic schedule that hardly gets time to feel the difference. 

Well, pizzas, salads, desserts, fresh berries, fruits, mint juice surely are all time favorite, but nothing can ever compensate the choco-craving. It’s been proven that in such atmosphere wherein work and professional obligations keep us intact and stress is apparently all-time buddy, it becomes tough to deal with the same. Well, chocolate is a magical remedy against stress and tension. According to professionals, strikingly contrary to its repo, chocolate is extremely healthy. But yes, it’s not that easy to get the ‘real-chocolate’, ones that come from pure cocoa bean. Well, keeping aside the baggage full of strains behind, it is to inform that chocolicious festival is all set to be organized at Select Citywalk on September 5th to 7th.  Spread in around I lakh sq.ft has its own chain of visitors and the events in malls organized by franchise of repute add on to the sophistication quotient of this mall. Now, you no more need to make and cancel plans for the weekend hangover, you can anytime pop-in to the this one stop Entertainment in Saket destination, select Citywalk and delight your taste buds with exotic chocolicious flavors. If chocolate cheers you up, this one’s for you, if you haven’t had experienced how does it feels of diving in deep to aromatic choco flavors, you’re surly missing on a lot!!! 

Have Fun this Weekend

Who doesn’t love the weekend! With the kind of work schedules we have weekends are an essential part of our mental health. Weekends which have become synonymous to refreshment and entertainment have become a source of relaxation and energy to continue with hard work for the following week. Apart from this very individual pleasure and advantages of rejuvenating over a weekend there is an indispensable social role and need to it as well. Outings in a bar in Delhi or a spree to some restaurant not only help you relax but introduce you with all that you have been missing, family love, sharing hearty laughs, recreating and reliving old friendships, joy of befriending a stranger and so much more.

It is almost impossible to imagine life without these light moments. Although different people cater to their rejuvenating needs differently the basic idea however is the same which is to de-stress and relax both the body and mind. Be it some sort of entertainment in Saket or a stroll to a nearby park we all deal with our recreational requirements our own way. Some people enjoy company while others have their own little way to enjoy their weekends. Here are some ways you can have an amazing outing with your friends and family:

-Go Shopping
We all usually fix our weekends to shop all the weekday essentials. There is a better and way to do that. You can ask your family or friends to join you while you shop all that you need for the entire week ahead.

-Plan Outings
Go for a few drinks in a bar in Delhi or plan a family dinner with the people you intend to spend quality time with. You can also catch up on movies or may be a trip to some adventure park.

-Take up Hobbies
Look out for things which interest you it may range from cooking to art. Once you have identified what you have always wanted to do all these years, do not give up. Pursue your hobby, search for weekend classes and once done there is no looking back.

Invest In Life Style And Luxury Services

Are you planning to open up a business or invest in one? Putting your worth of assets and efforts in retail sector, and particularly outlets in malls can be an ideal choice. Better location, sophisticated surrounds and upscale ambience are add-ons, which are not even taxed on your pockets. While high street standalone units can be ridiculously pricey, these can be leased on simpler terms. Provision of strata title is also popular.

Any Delhi shopping mall is way better than conventional shops due to multiple reasons. Besides aforementioned, you enjoy unlimited exposure not only of customers who fall in the category of your target audience but many more who can be an indirect client. So, there are quite a few benefits and little harm.

In fact, lifestyle sector is all the more lucrative. Starting up a business in luxury services at a Delhi shopping mall is all the more like icing on the cake. Fashion brands and retailing goods sees higher competition. There is a specific loyal following when it comes to these products and creating your own may need some time. Plus, there is an emotional factor also attached with it. 
Actually people tend to spend more on lifestyle services as it triggers the ‘feel good’ factor. You would barely shop worth Rs. 5000 every time you visit a mall, but sparing that in a salon or in the food court in Delhi while treating a group of friends is common. Spa centres, gyms, salons, tour planners, and restaurants: these are the most revenue generating ventures for mall owners.
Food especially is a powerful driving factor. For 30% visitors, it is the sole reason that drove them towards a mall and they ended up being engaged in other services.

So, launching a business at a lush shopping mall in one of these genres is a good option.   

All About Children Kids Play Zone

A place with a nice kids play zone in New Delhi clubbed with a nice eatery--that is my idea of an outing with the gang (family). But with a malls and restaurants in Delhi making a powerful beeline for the attention of a family like mine, it is always a difficult one.

The thing is there’s no dearth of good restaurants in Delhi but when nothing but the best is on the radar, the choices are fairly limited. Not unless I hit Select City Walk. My first time at the south Delhi mall was memorable and counts in one of the best moments we spent out as a family.

The best part of the mall lies in the expansive line-up of outlets. There is hardly a thing not on the list. From haute couture to fine dining and more, you name it! And despite that, the place is conveniently open and amazingly spacious.

Since my kid is a big McDonald’s fan, and loves his time at kids zones, the place immediately stuck a chord with him. While that took care of him, it was my wife, who sometimes seems a bit quirky given her choice of meals and entertainment, that I was slightly apprehensive of.

For any married man, pleasing his wife is bigger than conquering the Everest. From the corner of the eye, I had a gaze jetting into her. I could per-empt a gaze on her face I have become awkwardly accustomed to. But then, what I saw made me relieved but curious.

There she was, in her own world and a mesmerized look. While I had anticipated the familiar cold looks, I could see her own a look proclaiming a testimony of her being settled where she was. And before anything, off she went doing her own stuff and enjoying the ambience. It was only a matter of time before she pulled me in, and I was happier than ever to give in.

Three Ideal Keys To Start Any Private Institution

Setting up any kind of institution in today's competitive trend is not an easy task to carry out. This can include setting up a restaurant or a salon or Delhi Gym or any other similar institution. But for any of these cases, you are required to have some points in mind before planning to start any of these institutions. We have compiled some of those points below.

1.    Affordability: First of all, to set up any private institution, you are required to have the right amount for investment as without investment you can't set up one. Not just the amount for investment, you are required to have that much amount to bear the risk of investment as you can't be sure about whether your business is going to work or not. Thus, you should have the capability to bear the risks.

2.    Proper Location: It is one of the most important points that is need to be kept in mind that is the location of the institution that you are going to set up. Let suppose you set up a gym near a village. Well, if you ask from people, almost everyone will say that it is not going to work. Now you can imagine how important is the location of an institution.

3.    Professional employers: It is very important to have professional employers at your place as these are the ones on whom the actual reputation of the institution is dependent. When the very first time, customers and clients will reach your place, the professionals working at your firm will actually be responsible for the first impression that your firm will leave on them.

So, no matter whether you plan to start up a best restaurant in Delhi or any other institution, you should have the right capital and information to do that.

Don’t Forget To Unwind As You Move On Fast Forward

I had read somewhere, ‘You only live once, and once is enough if you do it properly’- a very apt statement describing the irony of modern life. The pace at which we encounter shift of emotions and situations has outrun life. With the motto of extracting more from each and every second of existence, fun and frolic has taken a back seat in the super mechanical contemporary lifestyle. Families have lost the essence of having some quality time together.

Even the weekends are occupied with household chores and vacations are sparse. One can hardly spare some time for ‘Nothing’. In fact, as days pass, we are caught up in the same old monotonicity of daily life, not realizing that precious moments are passing us by. In a time like this, even the small moments caught over the dinner tables of restaurant in Delhi or while having a cup of tea should be saved and relished. 

So, never miss an opportunity to defy rules and steal some time with your loved ones. However, ironically, the shopping malls in India have worked out an effective plan for us but to our own benefits. With every single amenity of need and entertainment, stringed into a single loop, you can efficiently save time and multitask between enjoying and shop for necessities.

While your children enjoy in the kids play zone in New Delhi, you can rush the grocery shopping at departmental stores. But once what’s important is done and the family is ready to unite, you can choose activities of mutual interest, from the available range of options—which is not scarce by any means.

Moreover, you can skip the daily cooking routine and indulge in flavours and hospitality of one of the fine-dine restaurants in Delhi. Then, a movie afterwards can be nice, or if you plan to do something more engaging, then get back to the kids play zone and enjoy a game of pool or snooker.

So, even in this busy routine you can easily snatch away some quiet moments and have some fun.
