Well, India is a uh. Large and diverse country. And it is very oftenly noticeable that so many places nowadays are having a lot of noise due to the increasing population and maybe sometimes due to the special events those took place yearly. And today I would like to mention about such situation when I was at Lucknow for our training programs. And uh. Those was. Took place just last week. Throughout the entire week we were there. And uh. For certain reason we move. We went to a shopping mall that is quite well known as Lulu Mall. That is the uh, Asia’s biggest mall. And uh. Was newly opened. I was newly inaugcurated by our prime minister. And uh. The reason behind the. We visit. Behind our visit that uh. We want to have our formal shirts as uh. For it is required for our training purposes as we don’t have any. So me and one of my colleague, Mister Anand, we both decided to visit that mall in order to purchase a new shirt. And uh, along with we can also have our dinner at that mall. So eventually, near about 05:00 p.m. we went to that mall. But that time it was the peak Raush hour. And uh. We find it very difficult to go inside as at security checking gate. Everyone was. Everyone were stopped due to the huge amount of pol. Population inside the mall itself. And after some time, when we release to the mall then uh. We was like. Our head was like freaking. And uh. We find it very challenging that uh. That place is not very suittable for shopping. And even though just within ten minutes we came back outside and uh. We have purchased that shirt from a local shop. Even though the evening traffic also on that day we faced that was also too noisy. But still, I believe the main purpose of our visit was to purchase a shirt that was not possible from that particular mall.

India is a large and diverse country, and it's increasingly common to find noisy places due to the growing population and special events. I recently experienced this firsthand in Lucknow during a training program. Last week, we visited Lulu Mall, Asia's largest mall, which had just been inaugurated by our Prime Minister. We needed to buy formal shirts for our training, so my colleague, Anand, and I decided to visit the mall. We also planned to have dinner there. We arrived around 5:00 p.m., right during rush hour. The security check was chaotic, with a huge crowd trying to enter the mall. After finally getting inside, we were overwhelmed by the noise and the sheer number of people. It was impossible to shop comfortably. Within ten minutes, we decided to leave and buy our shirts from a local shop. Even the evening traffic was noisy, but the mall's noise was unbearable. The main purpose of our visit was to buy shirts, and that wasn't possible in that environment. The mall was simply too crowded and noisy.
