Trip To "Ampa Skywalk" - With My Buddy


Ampa Skywalk, one of the greatest malls in all of Chennai was located so close to my house I can reach there within 15 minutes but never went there till today...


After its grand opening I was waiting for its full completion....so I can see the multiplex...


But today when me and my friend Vyom were discussing about where to hangout I suggested "Ampa Skywalk" and so we went there and had a nice time ....


By the time we reached there a film shooting was in progress... we spent a few minutes in the crowded first floor balcony but we couldn figure who the actress was but she was so cute though...Vyom thought of cathcing a close glimpse of her but as we went to ground floor that part of shooting got over and the actress was good as gone..... Vyom and me disappointedly turned....out to the first floor to window shop.....


As we roamed from first to third floor the shooting with another set of the cast members was still in progress and a lot of people whom we thought as shoppers where none but co stars and crews of the same shooting we figured it very late after getting confused as to why many fancily dressed couples were moving in circles and going from one floor to another continuously.......


The hilarious part came when a retake of shoot happened when a female artist was made to run faster several times in the escalator... we were very certain she avoided a fall the final third attempt she frantically made..... I got give it to her with the size of the heels she was wearing along with luggage in one hand and mobile in another she was pretty god with running in escalators..... Hats off to her from me and Vyom.....

Parking at Ground Floor (-2):

Ticket cost for bikes was 20 rupees for selected hours if exceeded we have to pay more ...

Vyom at parking

We had to take a ride round and round in circles till we reached the parking well I gotta give it to Ampa's pride the parking was fantastic... reminded me of Batman: The Dark Knight


Ground Floor:

Editions - Premium, Luxury and Limited Edition Pen Store:
Vyom showed a special interest on this store. Not to forget that he was bringing the ancy Parker pen which his chrisma friend gave last year.

World of Titan:
As soon as we entered from parking the first ever shop that grabbed our eyes is the world of titan....... out of the world products...


The Westside :Show room covers the major part of the three floors and looks very vast and stylish - Ground, First and Second Floor. The clothes were awesome and there was even some discounts on many products. We can see the list of clothes and other product board in every floor entrance as we come through the escalator.



First Floor Highlights:

Pepe Jeans
Standard collection of cool jeans & stuff..


Outside Pepe outlet,sorry for the poor quality of picture my phone wasn't working properly

Mochi:
Nothing to be said when you start starring at the finest foot wears.

Laptops Plus:
It had a variety of high end cool gadgets that any alpha male would require.

Archies Gallery:
It is a complete eye pleaser, the colorfully cheering greeting cards and gifts can be seen from any end of the floor.... Very attractive........Lots of options for the customer too.

View from the first floor see the whole area covered by people who were trying to watch the shooting.

Second Floor

Biba: Had a very fine collection of ethnic garments with modern ones highly attractive for the female shoppers.
We tried to take a picture of Vyom with the poster girl but lot of people were going around so Vyom and I waited for the perfect chance.
Vyom, "God damn it cant a guy have his freedom come on guys move it, move it"

Vyom, For crying out loud ;I just cant stand here all day please leave have a heart for this poor soul. I only need to take one picture before the staff shows up.

Ahhhahhhhhh.......Finally, Dream come true




Third Floor aka F3 Food Court:


We had a full floor of food outlets but we decided to dine in for a change and to taste the fine french food at La Boulangerie. Was it good? Hell ya!Very Good

"La Boulangerie" - Best French Has a list of french delights at highly affordable prices...


To tell the truth I decided at first after looking closely at the rate cards displayed near the food items....

But after finishing our first recipe "Cheese Croiss" I and Vyom were convinced beyond words. As for me it was my first French and the Best French.

Next time when we gonna pop out we decided to bring more friends since the multiplex at fourth floor hasn't got opened as well as the Grand pride of Ampa i.e,The Skywalk was still in construction.


Gaming Arena:

Following the food court at the corner we found the gaming area were a lot of games were still to be installed but few of them were working and were occupied already by kids and guys.
Vyom, playing cool

The person in the white shirt is the in charge of the gaming area you can get token from him.... we thought of playing but we rather watched how others played.
This guy played real nicely!



View From The Top:

From the first floor balcony the view was quiet nice, the security guard was trying to alert some one as i took a snap of him.
Fourth Floor :The Sky Walk:

The floor to the Skywalk was still under construction we can only see it from third floor and got a glimpse of the name board "Cinema"

The Roof Top View:

Cool isn't it ... marvelous design
