I know what you are wondering. I have some obsession with “Bazaar”. Well, i agree! My parents had already been to big bazaar and were kindling my curiosity by talking about it all the time. Cheap and best they said.. Well, i decided to put that to the test. On a national holiday one would typically expect chennai to be awake at 6 pm. To my surprise traffic was flowing smooth , speaking of luck !! We were worried about parking frency in TNagar and decided to park in a place away from our target shopping mall – BigBazaar. After commuting for precisely 8 mins we hit the spot. Crowded?? I wouldn’t exagerrate but to be frank it was not the worst as expected. As soon as we stepped into the mall we found an empty food place not by the measure of people but the measure of food itself. I was hungry and starving for an evening snack and was disappointed to see empty plates 
Time to move on .. I consolidated myself.
The first floor was mostly for men with an entire collection of items like shoes, jeans, t-shirts. When I stepped in i noticed the poor organization of things. I could find shoes unpaired and messed up by a constantly moving cloud of people. There were very few people to care about selling stuff and they would constantly make shunts across the way to ask people what they wanted. I wanted to purchase a pair of shoes myself : approached a guy and told him my size. He made a quick jolt to the “stock place” and brought a new pair of them. Man!! that was fast. But next hurdle was to try them on. I looked around and to my surprise noticed that there was no bench to sit on and try my new shoes. Just put my feet on some shoe boxes that lay in the corner and tried it. It fit me perfectly and made my choice to go for it. There were 60%.. 50%.. 40% Discount boards jingling all over the place and my deal was pretty cheap… a class 1 reebok shoe with 40% reduction. I was never “happier”.
I juggled my way through the crowd only to find things getting messier. The people in charge of billing were either too slow or couldn’t take on a crowd. There were around 4 counters and things moved veeeeeery slowly. After waiting patiently for over 10 mins eventhough i was the second guy I was relieved to see my new shoes getting packed and presented. That was a nice but mixed experience. We hit the second floor which had girl stuff – chudidhar, jeans and “stuff” . time to move on 
Third floor was packed with travel bags, bed spreads, gift articles ,kitchen items etc. We spent some considerable amount of item just glancing over the price tags just to find thing a bit above our normal budgetting standards. Despite that we made some quick picks like bed spread and pillow covers.
In the fourth floor everything was wonderfully showcased. We found dinner furnitures neatly arranged in row by row fashion. They looked cool. There was a separate section for electronic items like TV / Washing machines and owens. We didn’t spent much time there except in small section were there were some interesting books of syndney shelton and ripley’s believe it or not.. made some purchases there and made the four floor descent but i must say that we restrained our self from all the distracting offers and focused on climbing down the stairs The exit had a surprise…. We had to produce all the bills to a security guy. We frantically pulled out all our purses and put together 5 to 6 separate bills and gave it to the guy who then neatly stappled it and returned back! that was it. Out of BigBazaar.
It was nice to make a quick visit and write about big bazaar. Overall I was satisfied with the rates. Things were affordable but they desparately needed a time off to clean things up. If you are a quality freak i would say you have no business here. Do not expect people to care too much about the customers. Big Bazaar is better in terms of pricing and thats all it is. Quick purchases were not possible because of big queues. You can’t be fussy about choosing things because you will not be asked twice. If you plan to visit this place any time in the future.. good luck and happy shopping
