I don’t need to cross the toll plaza too often as my life is centered around Gurgaon. However, there are times when I do need to go to Delhi, and for those times I had gotten a tag installed in my car a long time ago (for convenience’s sake). I thought that it would be nice since I won’t have to wait in long slow moving lines at the plaza. Or so I thought.

You can call me lazy, but this is one of the main reasons why I haven’t gotten a full body checkup done yet. But here’s a neat thing I discovered today. Ranbaxy Labs offers to pick up your samples from your home.

We are anyway not the best at following road etiquettes around here, but for some reason, when it rains we go into hyperdrive.
Read moreEarlier this week, we had gone to watch a movie at the Ambience Mall (and as if the price wasn’t high enough, they have hiked the PVR Gold tickets to Rs. 750 a piece). Anyway, the movie was nice enough, but it all went downhill from there.
Personally I feel that Ambience Mall is the best one around in Gurgaon.
