Diwali is just around the corner and if you are in Delhi then you are at the right place at the right time. Delhi celebrates Diwali in a grand style and therefore it is the best place for shoppers where they can find tons of shopping items that they can use for the festive season. Although, I am from Mumbai, but I believe that Delhi offers a better shopping experience especially for budget consumer like me who looks out for better bargain deals and discounts and offers at every other shop that I pass through. The shopping fever usually grips Delhi much before the festival date and shoppers stroll through narrow lanes and streets to find the best deals that they can get their hands on. I was just reading The Economic Times and it says that according to ASSOCHAM (The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India) Delhi will see around 40% slash in their Diwali budget because of the inflation that has hit the nation. The survey also claims that most middle class families have decided to cut down their festive spending because of eroding purchasing power. So, let me take you on a ride to some of the best places in Delhi where you can enjoy Diwali shopping without worrying about your budget.

In the last three decades, I have seen Mumbai developing quickly especially with so many people migrating to the city to change their destiny and lifestyle. Mumbai has been the City of Opportunities for many people across the country and even across the world and that has worked in the favor and also against the city in many ways. For all my childhood days, I have seen Mumbaikars shopping in the small lanes and shops but with the level of lifestyle going up new trends came in that swept shopaholics off their feet. I remember when the first mall in Mumbai opened up in September 1999 near Haji Ali known as Crossroads at that time and now known as SoBo Central it attracted millions of people to it. Crossroads was jam packed for weeks with shopaholics, casual window shoppers, college students and even curious middle class people who wanted to analyze to concept of malls. Well, a lot of time has already passed by and malls today have become a part and parcel of our life. Today, malls are packed with all sorts of people, you will find families shopping around, college students wandering and dating around while many limited budget consumers feast their eyes with all the glitter and glamour that they get to see around. In my previous blog post I already covered the street shopping destinations in Mumbai so this time let’s take a quick look at the top 3 shopping malls in Mumbai that have managed to offer consumers with the right kind of shopping experience that offers them value for money and great brands and products that enrich their lifestyle.
