Why Is Shopping Such An Enjoyable Experience

Shopping! The term has become more than just a word created using 7 letters of the English language. It has become a phenomenon, a revolution, a craze, a fantastic experience, and a constant enjoyment! After all, the movie ‘Shopaholic’ showed the lengths to which a person can go for shopping (sarcastically speaking)!

On a serious note, what’s so good about shopping! Why are so many people absolutely ga ga over it? Why are they not able to control their urges?

These questions have been troubling researchers (seriously) over the years and they are still to come to a conclusion. There has been no set conclusion as of now.

In Kolkata, shopping has always been a magical experience because it draws its roots from the city’s culture.

From Rashbehari to Shyambazar and from New Market to Treasure Island, there has been no dearth of quintessential shops or their clusters that have immortalized the experience of ‘buying’.

However, things are absolutely different now! The immortality has it become eternal because the guarantee of finding items to one’s liking irrespective of the season has been laid down by the Acropolis Mall in Kolkata.

Further, it’s a sort of an ‘icing to the cake’ in the shape of Acropolis Mall’s food court that presents refreshing delicacies to tired shoppers and for those who have plans to watching a movie, there’s always the Cinepolis!

The concept of zoning has been implemented at the Acropolis Mall. This means that shops selling the same product but having different brands are present on the same floor. This is a first-of-its-kind feature among all the malls in Kolkata.

Needless to say, it is an extremely interesting feature for every avid shopper.

Themed Shopping Outlets Are The Realities Of Malls Today

What if shops begin to sell items according to your varying needs? What if they start begin to sell themed products? What if they start begin to sell customized products?

Today, there are many shops that are selling items as per varying needs, selling themed products and creating customized products. The city of Kolkata contains a lion’s share of such shops inside shopping malls and the elite among them are present in the Acropolis Mall, Kolkata.

Situated at the Ruby roundabout, this mall was highly anticipated by Kolkatans right from the time major tabloids, news started talking about it. On the day of its opening, the premises were quite similar to the roads of a Brazilian city during its carnivals. There were many dignitaries present during the opening ceremony including noted politicians and Tollywood actors.

After the opening ceremony, all of them took to exploring the mall and each one of them found an outlet to his or her liking. The Acropolis Mall brings forth world-famous brands to the city, but the brands themselves come with a twist.

They come draped in the Bangaliana essence! Therefore, special offers were put forth along with themed purchasing becoming a reality especially during the festive season of Durga Puja.

Kolkatans today no longer need to venture out in the sun to look for apparels for weddings, parties, festive occasions and what not! All they require is to arrive at the Acropolis Mall. There is bound to be a shop that meets their requirements.

Modern-day facilities are presented through an ethnic platform – shops selling traditional dhotis, and HD screens inside a world-famous multiplex showing blockbusters from Tollywood.
The Acropolis Mall has just arrived in style to Kolkata.

Is It Really Possible To Stretch Out Your Legs At The Movie Hall?

A visit to a movie hall is more than just watching the movie – it is about spending the interval in buying popcorn and soda with the wallet not crying aloud. Then, it is about finding the right seats (after all, sitting smack in the middle is always comfortable).

Further, with the onset of multiplexes these days, the general price has shot up when it comes to refreshments. This is not just a reality in the whole world but in India as well. As far as this blog is concerned, it is a reality in Kolkata too. Or is it? Technically speaking, the reality has begun to fade away into extinction with the presence of the newly opened Acropolis Mall.

Anyone who wants to visit the Acropolis Mall has to know about the road the runs from the Ruby roundabout to Gariahat in Kolkata. As one place there, the mall is present.

What is its relation with movies? Enter Cinepolis – The sixth largest movieplex the world and famous for providing the largest leg spaces among all movie halls. That is why, people living in the city of joy can enjoy blockbuster movies at nowhere but the Acropolis Mall – to correct the sentence; the people of Kolkata can enjoy at Cinepolis and sitting comfortably while stretching out one’s legs is but one of the fantastic facilities that the movie hall provides.

Life at the Acropolis Mall when it comes to watching movies is a fairy tale come true with the wizard being none other than Cinepolis.

From Miners To Mm To Jack & Jones: It’S Been A Long But Illustrious Journey For Denim!

We call it Denim, but it was originally known as ‘Serge de Nimes’. Over the years, the name gradually drawled on to ‘Denim’. It was an accidental discovery by the French when they tried to create a fabric resembling the sturdy Italian fabric: Serge.

                                                   ----During the Six Shooter Era---

From Wild Bill Hickok to Wyatt Earp, it was none other than the charismatic cowboys and gunslingers who immortalized the fabric through wearing it extensively. On a serious note, denim was first worn by miners because they required a sturdy fabric capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions. Cowboys and gunslingers were the next ones to wear it because it was the fabric which could withstand the unpredictable shocks of their rugged lifestyle.


                                                           -------In the Movies------

 The wardrobe of actors and actresses comprises Denim as a rule. It all started with the movie: Rebel Without a Cause with actor James Dean wearing a T-shirt, a leather jacket and trousers made from Denim. The look spread like wildfire and still continues to thrive today.
