A review of LifeStyle Home Center in Gurgaon

My wife and I have always had a floor bed, and never felt the need to go out and buy a bed. That changed a few weeks ago when my wife became pregnant, and a low bed was too much of an effort. Apparently, that is not so simple as you may think. There is a dearth of good furniture stores in Gurgaon. Yes there is MG road, but the quality of workmanship there is often times suspect, or it is phenomenally expensive.

We may build the swankiest of malls, but…

Earlier 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.

Grabbing a movie in style

imageYesterday, I went to watch a movie with some friends. And since PVR had finally launched Gold Class in Gurgaon, I decided to give it a try to see what all the hoopla is about. Before I say anything else, let me conclude that I wasn’t disappointed. But, that is rushing it. Let me recount the experience first. The PVR Gold Class is only available in the brand new PVR at the swanky Ambi Mall (next to the Toll Plaza). If you haven’t been to Ambi Mall, well, that is a topic for a different post all together. I say swanky, because it has some of the best brands selling their wares in it (including BMW, by the way). Anyway, I digress.
