I sometimes find it funny that grocery shopping takes up such a huge part of our lives.
You sleep in, and there is no milk for your tea. You have visitors in the evening but do not have snacks.
And just when you think everything is fine, mom calls out,
“Arre beta, we are out of flour!”
This is my signal to put on my slippers and go to the best grocery store in Dwarka Sector 15. For me, it is Aap Ka Bazar — because it truly is less of a store and more of a friend who always comes to your rescue when you are in trouble.
The atmosphere here in Sector 15 is very local, very Indian. You will see women negotiating prices with that half-grin, men searching for bargains on nuts, and kids running with chocolate bars in their hands.
It’s a close-knit community. Not long ago, I ran into my former math teacher in the lentils aisle — she still refers to me as “beta” and gives me the “do your homework” look, even though I am 28 now.
grocery shops in Dwarka Sector 15 are what I truly appreciate. Because really, who hasn’t at some point given in to the temptation of having Maggi noodles at 8 PM? Or that trickiest Sunday morning when you suddenly find out that there is no tea sugar left?
These night bazaars are nothing short of miracles. The other day I went there in my night pants and flip-flops — but it did not feel odd at all as half the neighborhood was there as well!
There are wholesale grocery stores in Dwarka Sector 15 that are really good for small businesses or for running your own tiffin services. My aunt buys rice, spices, and oil in bulk at the end of every month. She keeps saying, “The prices here are better than the market, and the quality is also first class.” She is not mistaken. You can literally save several hundred rupees on each trip, and it really adds up.
One thing I have been observing — these small corner local grocery shops in Dwarka Sector 15 have managed to maintain the human factor. The cashier bro has not forgotten my usual purchase.
.One day when I did not have my money he looked at me with a smile and said “Bro, don’t take stress
Aap Ka Bazar hai naa!”.
