Launched INto ORBIT

Visited the InOrbit Mall in Malad. Another entrant to the large number of shopping malls mushrooming up throughtout the country. Well, it is a typical mall, with all the international brands. But what I liked about it was the look from outside. It is spread over a huge area. with no underground stuffy parking. It reminded me of the Pavilion in Durban, South Africa. It was comparable too. Didn't seem we were in India. The roads around it (though private) were clean and wide. Just at the entrance, a 'mandap' was being decorated for the coming Janmasthami festival. The interior
was also real nice. Though many of the shops were still empty but the ones that were there had an international look to it. Ritu Kumar, Shoppers Stop, Crossword, and international chains such as Marks and Spencer, and others. Felt like I was walking through the Pavilion again. Though compared to the Pavilion, InOrbit is quite small. But India is improving too.The selection was awesome, so were the prices!! But the Warehouse type of super markets which are gaining popularity in India will suit the Indian public for whom price is the first and foremost factor. But these type of malls will suit to the upper-middle and upper class of the metros. They have the resources to use these new facilities.
