SHOPPING SPREE

Bargaining: Girls shopping at Sarojini Nagar market.The fancy and colourful display of latest (fake) designer wear clothes is a sure giveaway to many youngsters willing to splurge.

Welcome to Sarojini Nagar market where lack of parking space and crowded gulleys are hardly a hindrance to look out for the best bargain, for no matter what you are buying!

“Most youngsters shop here as they get everything very cheap. Not only is it affordable, even the quality is really good. This market is famous for its export items which are also popular among the youngsters,” says Prem Singh, owner of a clothes shop in the market.
And Prem is right because Surinder Kaur was seen picking up bagsful of recently purchased items. “We get to bargain here and get everything at a very reasonable rate,” says the college student.

After Sarojini Nagar--there’s another shoppers’ mecca for college students--Janpath. This place is a sheer delight for “bargain specialists” and therefore attracts many young shoppers.

“We come to Janpath as we get to buy the latest fashion trend clothes within our budget. It is a place where we can bargain and get what we want,” says engineering student Parul Sharma, who is also a shopaholic.

“It is an absolute delight to come and shop at Janpath. Other than trendy clothes, we can also buy chunky accessories and shoes here, which is always high on every girls’ shopping list,” shares Sania Khan, a first year student of Delhi University.

Apart from its budget shops, Janpath also features a number of showrooms and book stores.  Another place to shop is Lajpat Nagar, especially for those who fall under the category of “shop till you drop.” The market is a mixture of roadside stalls as well as glitzy showrooms. Here, you can shop for anything, ranging from clothes to footwear to accessories and bags. You can find ethnic Indian wear on one hand and the latest in the Western style clothing, on the other.

“Lajpat Nagar market is an ideal place for getting everything under one roof. We get everything from ethnic wear, Western wear, traditional wear, footwear, to shoes here,” says Rupali Aggarwal, a management student.
