Marriage Bureau for the Dull and Untrusting
My local market, Greater Kailash 1's M Block Market (as opposed to Greater Kailash 1 N Block Market and Greater Kailash 2 M Block Market) is often known as the Womens Market, such is the proliferation of women's clothing shops, jewellery shops, lingerie outlets. Even thought it's convenient I dislike it immensely: it seems to be where the rudest of Delhi rude-ites converge, meet and gather in doorways, oblivious to the progress needs of neighbouring walkers. Nevertheless there's no end of amusement: watching pampered Delhi princesses (Jason calls them Pinkies, after the sister in Bend it Like Beckham) in their tight jeans and sunglasses, glowering as they swing their Chanel/Dior bags like a crowd-clearing baton; auntijis in tent-like salwar kameez, inspecting 30,000 rs sheer chiffon saris and long-suffering maids, trying to deflect the flying fists of the four-year-old charges they're clutching as they trail two feet behind the kid's parents.
