Like everyone I too was exiting that Mantri Mall was opening at Malleswaram. A mall in my neighbour hood sounds too good to be true to a shopoholic like me.And all my favorite brands & shops all under one roof like lifestyle, shoppers stop, W, Pantaloons, Reliance trends, Max, SPar. I didn't have to go to 3 different directions to shop anymore.
So on one Saturday evening I decided to visit the very happening mall. Got parking easily in the huge Car parking lot.Took the elevator upto the mall.I nearly fainted looking at the crowd.Maybe because it was a weekend.Got tired after visiting the shops in the ground floor only because of the crowd.Too many people outside the shops and in the eating joints.Hardly visited any shops as well.Tried getting out of the mall & was stuck for over 2 hours in the basement because of the traffic jam.
So people I suggest that in case you plan visiting the mall
1> go only during weekdays
2> use public transport (auto or bus)
3> Go in the mornings so that you can visit all the shops without getting pushed.
