HOW TO SHOP AT JANPATH MARKET:
‘Bargain! Bargain! Bargain! Never go by the price the shopkeeper quotes in the first go. Keep at it and you will walk away happier. All the above can be purchased with a budget of Rs. 1000/-!’
‘Watch out for rips and tears. Even if you find one, you can always go back to the shopkeeper and get it exchanged! BUT, ask him what the time period for return or exchange is and remember the shop number’
‘The real goodies lie in the depths of the shop, walk in and you will find prettier things. Be fearless!’
‘Janpath is open for business till about 9.30 at night, so if you have work AND want to shop, head over after!’
Ps. For a good cup of coffee after the tedious job of shopping, head over to Depaul’s. It will make your trip even better.
Stay tangled. xx
