The Big Apple Feel :)


A tiny Art store in Shahpur Jat









Shopping does make a woman feel good. And shopping today did make me feel good after a not so good week. This kind of reinstates my faith into saying “a woman can spend more than eight years of her life shopping “  After all it’s all about feeling good.

But the more interesting part of my shopping was the feel of East village in the area where I shopped. Ever since I have gotten back from New York, I miss it every now and then in many different ways. Though today was the day when I thought of it more than I missed it .Shahpur jat is like an urban village that doesn’t enjoy the normal city architecture yet it’s like a small wonder. The tiny designer boutiques located in run-down buildings selling exclusive and innovative designs in everything ranging from clothing to shoes to jewellery to home accessories and what not made me overcome the disappointment I always face in Delhi malls. Add a few pebbled streets and some brunch restaurants in the area, this place could get somewhere close to Soho in the coming years. Yes, there are no taxes on dreaming 

Shahpur Jat is a labyrinth that needs to be captured beautifully and put across the web. It’s a shame there’s not much pictures of it for people to see. May be this is like motivating me to reach out to my camera which I haven’t in years and get going 
