Well, India is a large and diverse country and uh, it is often noticeable that so many cities are now so much polluted due to the increasing amount of horn and uh, some sounds coming from vehicles and industries. So it is also dependable on the increasing amount of pollution and population as well. Last uh, today I’d like to mention about a place. So when I have visited last week the place was in Lucknow and uh, that was the shopping mall, the Asia’s biggest shopping mall. And uh, it was inaugurated by our prime minister and before that I had never been to any shopping mall. So we generally visit Lucknow due to our training and it was organized by our employer so that uh, we can learn something in order to improve our careriers. So on the first day we have realized that there it was clearly mentioned in browser that we must have to be very formal and our dress code is already specified. So for that reason one of my friends suggested to purchase some clothes in order to look formal. Initially I uh, don’t have any plan about uh, to visit any shopping mall but he encouraged me to go and enjoy. So we went for that shopping mall and uh, when we reached it was near about 05:00 p.m. and the time was the peak running, peak raush hour. For that reason we had to wait wait uh, for 2 hours at the outside of the shopping mall. And uh, when we. After 2 hours when we entered into the shopping malll at the time we have realized that all of the shops are filled with the public and uh, there is no such as such discounts are available. So the pollution level also inside that building was at too high that it was uh, totally freaking our head. And uh. We. We took quick decision and instantly we came outside and later when we was. We are running we. When we are returning to our hotel. At the time we also faced traffic congestion but that was not too loudy.

India is a vast and diverse country, and it's often noticeable how many cities are now heavily polluted due to the increasing amount of noise from vehicles and industries. This pollution is often linked to the growing population. Last week, I visited a place in Lucknow, the Asia's largest shopping mall. It was inaugurated by our Prime Minister, and it was my first time ever visiting a shopping mall. We were in Lucknow for training organized by our employer, aimed at improving our careers. On the first day, we were informed that a formal dress code was required, which was clearly stated online. One of my friends suggested we buy some clothes to look more formal. Initially, I had no plans to visit a shopping mall, but he encouraged me to go and enjoy. So, we went to the mall, arriving around 5:00 PM, right during rush hour. We had to wait outside for two hours due to the crowds. When we finally entered, we realized all the shops were packed with people, and there weren't any significant discounts. The pollution level inside the building was also very high, making it quite overwhelming. We quickly decided to leave and head back to our hotel. On our way back, we encountered traffic congestion, but it wasn't as loud as the mall.
