Helping the economy

When i had visited the pyramid mall in Pune I was surprised to see all empty stalls, it was either a case of bad inventory planning or they were winding up business. I enquired around and found out they were closing for refurbishing, on further prodding it came out that they were into huge losses and it was just a pretext to wait for better times to re-open.

I wondered if the techies of b'lore too wud stop visiting the ever mushrooming malls and kill 'em. I had to wait for sometime coz i wasn't gonna get an opportunity to visit b'lore till after my exams what with the admissions process and all council crap interfering with pre-exam activities.

But once i did visit B'lore i was pleasantly surprised, neither was there any effect on the malls nor was their any shortage of shoppers. Malls were still brimming, multiplexes were still running to capacity at least on weekends, restaurants had ppl queueing outside waiting their turns, b'lore as usual. Generally u wud see stores running discounts, that i had seen when i had last come here in Jan but now there was none, probably i missed the ugadi discounts. Well, we did our bit of helping the economy by contributing to the national income, my friend bought her new shades, she had lost the older ones that i had gifted her, so for this one I ain't contributing, I am berozgaar now woman!!

I went to catch up on a new movie with a friend, Fast n Furious 4. All the talk about sequels being crap were punched in the face by the Director Justin Lin. Its the best of all the 4 that have come out yet. There's not much hoopla about cars n babes its just hard core car action, surprisingly the movie doesn't glorify NOS much, its just skills and raw car muscle. Vin Diesel in his usual no nonsense, no bullshit avataar, crunching bad guys with glee-- total paisa vasool.

My friend, who had pestered me for going to the Akshay Kumar starrer 'tasveer' or sth but even she was blown away by this one.

Enjoying the vacation ain.. wat about summers?? I'm reading hard n reading fast man!! lets see if i can meet the target... Here i come Damu..
