Well, to start with, last weekend I planned to visit TGIP, Noida with my family.
As soon as we entered the mall at around 1 P.M., the guard told us that the basement parking was full and we need to park at the open parking.
The menace begins here, TGIP has 4 Parking Lots(1 in the basement, 3 in the open), out of the 3 open parkings, the 2 nearest ones are reserved for Valet Parking and the last one(which some people like me prefers at Malls, Discos etc) is around 1-2 km away from the Mall’s entry; which is intentionally setup by the Mall Admin to make max use of the Valet Parking. Wow!
I was sensible to suggest my family to unboard near the Mall’s Main Door and walked back myself as the indoor "rickshaws" weren’t available back from there.
Now comes the actual review of the Mall - Hundreds of Outlets and each one as Costly as a White Elephant. I opted to once visit the Home Store in the Lower Level and that too proved fatal to my pocket. A simple bed @ the cost of 14, 000 Rs.( I guess dat was the cheapest I could zero-in on). After much humour we finally planned to eat, tired walking in that big football-field-like-mall.
Opted for Sagar Ratna, coz I love it’s food and price. Same story again! A smaller-than-normal plate of Hakka for 100 bucks. Gosh! We had to eat coz we were tired and had taken the seats. The 5 of us were easily able to get a bill of 970 Rs. which we could have easily settled for around 500 bucks at the Sagar Ratna outlet near my place.
So dat’s it folks. I swear by god, would never go back to that costly place.
