With the dawn of mall culture in Gurgaon the whole way of shopping for enthusiast shoppers has undergone a complete makeover. Forging its pre-independence image of sleepy suburb, today Gurgaon is highly upgraded with the upscale shopping malls which are equivalent both in design and services like any other overseas mall. There are nearly two dozen operational shopping malls in Gurgaon and more 140 new shopping malls are in the pipeline to be developed in upcoming days. Gurgaon shopping malls are at par excellence with any mall from any corner for the developed world.

Now Gurgaon malls are acting more as one stop location for most shoppers who prefer to buy products specifically based on a particular theme under one roof to save on time. To grab the attention of such smart shoppers, many intelligent real estate developers of Gurgaon shopping malls now are focusing on specific demands like high-end products related to marriage, jewelry to further boost up their sales. Moreover, it is also estimated that the whole retail bustle will face a complete alteration if shopping malls in Gurgaon continues to mushroom at this steady pace. Beside this, the profile and face-value of real estate in the vicinity of the Gurgaon malls has also lifted because of the mounting fascination of people towards the properties located in the Gurgaon city.

Gurgaon malls are the most auspicious location not only for the purpose of shopping, but are perfect hangout spot for youngsters as well. The long series of mushrooming shopping malls in Gurgaon starts with DLF City Centre, Gurgaon Metropolitan Mall, Sahara Mall, DLF Grand Mall, Gold Souk, Mega Mall, The Plaza, OMAXE Plaza, Vishal Mega Mart, DLF Gurgaon South Point, etc.

As far as foot falls is concerned, Sahara Mall, Mega Mall and Gurgaon Metropolitan Mall surpass other shopping malls in Gurgaon. Sahara Mall is first super brand mall and is established in March 2001. it is spread over the area of 3.89 acres and comprises of company owned product outlets having a wide variety of latest offerings.

Cards are as individual as the people who send them. Some are humorous, and meant to give us a smile. While others challenge us to stop and ponder this life we all share. Whatever the intent, a card tells you the sender was thinking of you, and wanted you to know that.

In the current marketplace, we can find quite a variety of cards from which to choose. From the hand-made pieces (right down to the paper),… to the totally innocuous e-cards we are seeing more and more of. Each in it’s own way, says something about us when we send it.

I have several friends who have signed up with e-card companies. You fill in certain birthday/anniversary info on their form, and they will remind you of the impending date, or just go ahead and send an e-card in your name. Now, I know their heart is in the right place, and they have very busy schedules, but this type of card is one short step above “I don‘t have time for this”. (It’s cute for the moment, but there’s nothing personal to save.)

It’s completely different when you physically find something (that isn’t a bill or an ad), in your mailbox. A hand-addressed envelope with a real stamp, can quickly get somebody’s attention. It says that someone took the time to pick out something that moved them in some way, … and they wanted to share it with you.

Still, … finding a card that speaks to reality, instead of some dead poet’s frilly account of things, can be a bit challenging. Something that reflects our modern existence, requires a whole new attitude in the card industry.

We need to be able to find a card that says what you might have said in real life (if you were having a very good brain activity day). It’s becoming a viable niche in the industry. Cards for the everyday life situations in which we have all (for good or bad), found ourselves.

They should be thought provoking, and able to adapt to various interpretations, according to the wishes of the sender. For example,… the picture of an old toy truck, would give each of us a different “memory trigger”. This “triggering” can be accomplished just as easily with words.

Words paint a definite picture in our mind’s eye. The same card can say a variety of things, if it’s crafted properly. Remembering a Spring day, might produce a warm smile or a melancholy memory of what might have been. Laughing at someone’s foibles might be a sharp jab, or a jovial nudge not to take life so seriously. It just depends on who sends it, … and who gets it. Their personal intent becomes the trigger.

In this world of Home Depot & Wal-Mart size companies (where everyone and their grandmother can have the same screwdrivers and bath towels, no matter where they live), it becomes a challenge to find something individual and unique. You don’t really want to send the same card, on a friend’s recent promotion, as their Great Aunt Hattie. (You probably have a whole different take on the event.)

The card industry needs to produce more pieces that fill this ever growing “hole” in the market. Honest statements of everyday life, that are meant to be shared/aired. Expanding their offerings to include this segment of the population’s needs, will enable us all to truly say what’s on our minds. (And hopefully, do it with a little class!)

With Prison Break heading into the Spring of its second season, I think it’s a good time to look back and reflect on what has turned out to be one of TV’s most unlikely successes. Prison Break premiered in the summer of 2005 as one of FOX’s optimistic series, something that was high-concept and probably didn’t have a lot of hope for future success.

However, with the success of 24 as a serial TV show, you never know what’s going to happen. And, surprise surprise, Prison Break caught on and for good reason. The first season was elaborately built escape from prison. The mystery and the precise planning of the escape, as long with the conspiratorial intrigue, gave viewers more than enough to keep them guessing throughout the season. The problem I saw was this: what about season 2.

The main characters were no longer in prison. How can a show survive when its second season is nothing like its first. Two extremely different formulas. Now, in the second season, Prison Break has turned into The Fugitive. This isn't to say that this is a bad thing: Prison Break and FOX are pulling it off quite well. I just find it astonishing that they were able to change gears into a totally different show from one season to the next. So, I say to the fans: enjoy what’s left of season two, because season three will be totally different. Or at least that’s the plan. I’m guessing everyone will be back in prison next year, but you never know.
