Mall Picnic?

Dilip Babani proposes a picnic to Infiniti Mall-2

Within days of the Juhu picnic (ref post of September 21) Dilip Babani has come up with a novel proposal: Why not set out on an excursion to a city mall and spend an entire day traversing its interiors in air-conditioned comfort, having lunch in a food court and perhaps even take in a movie before leaving?
The idea apparently struck him on a recent visit to Infiniti Mall-2 in Malad. “It is a huge five-storey complex that would take about two to three hours to cover end-to-end,” he narrated this morning. “If you are not up to purchasing anything, just go around window-shopping. When you are tired, hop into any of the food courts or cafeteria for refreshments. You can have lunch there also. On the top floor, they have a recreation area with different games and joy rides. You can also catch a movie at the Cinemax theatre there. These are all housed under one roof.”
It goes to Dilip’s credit that he is able to think out-of-the-box and throw up exciting options for outings rather than follow the tried and tested path of frequenting popular picnic spots, water parks and holiday resorts that have been done to death.

Razia Khan warns Srichand Arora

He is the one who came up with the idea of a trip to the zoo and not so long ago, had led us to an incredibly enjoyable and memorable picnic at Chhota Kashmir (ref post of February 14) in Aarey Colony, Goregaon.
Much as everyone was kicked by Dilip’s idea of the ‘mall picnic’, Shekhawat requested to keep all plans in abeyance till he returns from his vacation to Rajasthan on October 17. He will be leaving for his village on October 4.
Meanwhile, Srichand Arora today confirmed what Sunita Jajodia had always been complaining about (ref post of September 24). There are indeed deadly mosquitos lying in wait in the grass where we exercise and they made life so miserable for Arora this morning that he had to abandon the exercises and beat a hasty retreat half way through. Razia Khan however, caught up with him at the Gate (where he was sitting merrily scratching his exposed legs) and issued a warning, upbraiding him for acting irresponsibly.
