Interesting shopping event

It was a peaceful Sunday... We just came back from a nice Jaipur trip on Saturday. So, taking a rest and the whole family had a late start on Sunday..
So, after 2PM, my wife decided to go Ambiance Mall, north of Gurgaon. It claims to be the biggest mall in India, from end to end is about 1KM. I think the claim to overstated. It does not seem to be that huge...

This is not the first time we visit Ambiance. We generally like it. It has a good mixture of high/end stores. Even the mall is not completely finished and still has empty retail space.

Anyway, so we had some good shopping, enjoyed the dinner and then went down to the big bazaar (the low cost retailer like Walmart in US).

Unpon the open of escalator, there were some people rushed in even when we were trying to get out of it... the atmosphere was weird, but we soon realized the big bazzar was shutting itself down.

I grabbed one guy who looked like the manager and asked what is going on... his answer is "sorry, we are encountering technical issue" after couple seconds of hesitation. That put me in concern, there is no part of the world will use this kind of ambigious/bureacratic response if there is nothing majorly wrong. Then we immediately realized not only customers are kicked out of store, but its own employees......THIS IS NOT GOOD!

Rushed to garage, summoned our driver and ftimmediately. On the way out, we realized not only the big bazaar but the whole mall is shutting down. Luckly, we got out of therebefore the traffic go too bad. Still, due to language, we still not exactly figured out what was going on.

second day, my colleague forwarded me this.
