i went for a movie today... to this multiplex which was within 100 mts of 2 other equally large multi-plexes...

kinda odd.. almost no1'd believe this 5 yrs back.. more importantly no1'd imagine they'd all be running close to house-full ....

anyway.. while there.. i was thinking it'd be so cool.. to study the operations of a mall or how they do all the internal things.. like what we do see is the clean front but the amount of back-end work involved would be so phenomeonal.. and so much fun to study... now tht is the kinda corporate project i'd be really happy doing...

maybe i should try something there.. though i am realyl lazy abuot these things.. so if any of you guys can figure out some-way where i can get a chance to work with 1 of these stores.. pour in your suggestions...

anyway the point of discussing stores was... i parked my car in the basement of the mall today.. and then after the film.. when we came down.. we realised the basement goes upto 2 levels... since i'd gone up after parking through the drive-in area... and after the film used the elevator to get down.. i felt rather dis-oriented and out of sorts on where to locate my car...

at this point i split my friends into teams to go look for the car... ehehehehhe (trust the mgmt students to have a planned approach) and then we realised its on the other basement level...

reminds me i'd read once.. that it used to happen in the US that they had multiples levels of parkings.. and ppl wud tend to forget where they'd parked and be moving aroudn aim-lessly.. and then one of the innovative solutions was to use fruits as symbols to differentiate floors.. coz numbers ppl easily forget... i rem smilin to myself when i read this..

n i smiled today again to think... soon this might be the case with my city.. and i might park my car on the water-melon level coz i like the fruit so much ;)
