Glitzy Gurgaon


Gurgaon Metropolitan mall

This is a photo I took in the Metropolitan Mall in Gurgaon a few days back. Malls in India are a completely different concept from the malls in US or elsewhere. In US, malls are huge and spread far out. You wont find two malls just a couple of miles apart. Not so in Gurgaon. The MG Road has four malls right across the road from each other. MGF Metropolitan is the biggest and swankiest of them all. These malls are always jam packed - weekend or no weekend. Funnily enough, recent news stories suggest that stores in all these malls are running into deep losses. Some have even closed shop. So I guess we Indians are flocking to the malls, but just not buying from there yet.
