shopping mall without staircase: it had only escalators. laxmi was very hesitant to use it. however, shagun inspired her and she used escalator for the first time. once she reached upper floor, she had no option but to use escalator once again for descending. i was happy that her fear was now probably gone for ever.



cinema halls: the cinema halls here sell monthly tickets. the viewers using the facility can come to view the pictures as many times as they wish during a month. the cinema halls do not have seat numbers. so, there is free seating.



banks: bank's name boards do not display word 'bank' as part of their name. so i had to enquire what 'abbey' was.



weather forecast: here hour-blockwise weather forecast is available. people generally find out the forecast and dress up accordingly
