The city of Gurgaon is known for its Malls and hangout places but there is another aspect that has remained unattended. Gurgaon has got a few good markets. Markets where we do everyday household shopping, grab a bite of Chaat, get a haircut, buy vegetables, tissues, kitchenware, etc. One such market which is famous with the residents of Sushant Lok-1 in Gurgaon is Vyapar Kendra.
About Vyapar Kendra
Vyapar Kendra market consists of small shops cramped with each other. The market has 4 Gates for entry and exit. You will find everything in this market but where to look for it in Vyapar Kendra is a big question.
This is a shopping market where there is no fixed price. Let us say that if you don’t negotiate you pay much more than the actual price. Most of the shop keepers and customers trade with the idea of bargaining. The shops at the face of the market are pricier. The shop keepers know that and therefore quote a high price, the customers negotiate a bit and then still pay a higher price. Since I know this market well, here is a list of good shops for you to make a wise decision.
Let us make it easy for the visitors to shop at Vyapar Kendra.
Handloom shops - Sardarji ki dukan.
Location - Shop# 17, behind Mandi
Here you can buy bedcovers, quilts, pillow covers, table cloth etc. at a fixed price. Sardarji does no bargaining but his prices are still more reasonable than the other handloom shops. Ignore the ones at the face of the market.
Vegetables – Mandi Fruit & Vegetable Mart
Location – Front of the market
Mandi offers fresh vegetables & fruits at reasonable prices, sometimes giving a good competition to the Mother Dairy across the road. Beware of other vegetable shops around which charge more to customers
Bytes (Bakery)
There are 3-4 bakeries in Vyapar Kendra. The best among all is Bytes. They have fresh muffins and pastries. You can also try their Namkeen and biscuits.
Kitchenware
Location – Shop#20, next to Sardarji’s Handloom shop.
You will find plenty of shops selling Kitchen items and almost all quote a high price. The best pick among them is the “Requirements Store”. The price quoted is reasonable and you can still negotiate for a marginal reduction to the quoted price.
Sahil Packaging
Location – Shop# B88 (Basement)
You will find use and throw items, toilet roll, paper plates, cups, broom, phenyl, and other toiletries. This shop caters to corporate customers and so offers wholesale prices to walk in customers as well.
Computer World
Location – Shop# 90, Ground floor
Out of a number of Computer shops, this one offers best prices. You can buy modem, CDs, even sell your old PC or laptop.
Sindhi
Location - Face of the market
At Sindhi, you can find the best Namkeen & biscuits. All Namkeens are very good, be it nuts, Chivda, Namak Pare, Aam papad, Chips, or dry fruits.
Do not try tikki or gol gappe here. Alwar sweets offer better Golgappas on the other side of the market.
Shyam Sweets

It is a good option for veg eaters. It is similar to Om sweets or Bikanerwala.
Gas Agencies

Asakusa (浅草) es un distrito de Taitō, Tokio, Japón, el más famoso por el Sensō-ji, un templo budista dedicado al bodhisattva Kannon. Hay varios otros templos en Asakusa, así como varios festivales.
Durante la mayor parte del siglo XX, Asakusa fue el distrito de entretenimiento principal en Tokio. El rokku o "Sexto Distrito", fue famoso en particular como un distrito de teatros, con cines tan emblemáticos como el Denkikan. Los años dorados de Asakusa son vívidamente retratados en la novela de Yasunari Kawabata, La pandilla de Asakusa (1930). El área fue fuertemente dañada por los bombardeos estadounidenses durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en particular en el bombardeo de Tokio en marzo de 1945. El área fue reconstruida después de la guerra, pero ahora ha sido superada por Shinjuku y otras áreas coloridas en la ciudad, en su papel como un distrito de placer.
Asakusa se encuentra en la franja noreste del centro de Tokio, en el extremo oriental del metro de la Línea Ginza, aproximadamente 1,6 kilómetros al este del cruce principal del metro Ueno. Es central para el área coloquialmente referida como Shitamachi, que literalmente significa "ciudad baja", en referencia a la poca elevación de esta antigua parte de Tokio, a orillas del río Sumida. Como su nombre lo indica, el área tiene un ambiente japonés más tradicional que algunos otros barrios de Tokio.
Con tantas instituciones religiosas, es frecuente el matsuri (festivales sintoístas) en Asakusa, ya que cada templo o santuario es anfitrión de al menos un matsuri al año, si no cada temporada. El más grande y más popular es el Sanja Matsuri en mayo, cuando las carreteras están cerradas desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer.
En una ciudad donde hay muy pocos edificios de más de 50 años a causa de los bombardeos durante la guerra, Asakusa tiene una mayor concentración de edificios de los años 1950 y 1960 que en muchas otras áreas de Tokio. Están los tradicionales ryokan (casas de huéspedes), viviendas y pequeños edificios de apartamentos en todo el distrito.
De acuerdo con una tradición peculiar de Tokio, Asakusa alberga un cúmulo importante de tiendas de menaje doméstico en Kappabashi-dori, que es visitado por muchos habitantes de Tokio para los suministros esenciales.
Al lado de los jardines del templo de Senso-ji hay un pequeño parque de atracciones llamado Hanayashiki, que presume ser el parque de atracciones más antiguo de Japón. Los cines del barrio se especializan en mostrar películas clásicas japonesas, ya que muchos de los turistas son japoneses de edad avanzada.
Navegando al río Sumida se parte desde un muelle solo cinco minutos a pie desde el templo.
Asakusa es el distrito geisha más antiguo de Tokio, y todavía tiene 45 geishas trabajando activamente.
Debido a su ubicación colorida, las credenciales del centro, y el ambiente relajado por estándares de Tokio, Asakusa es una opción de alojamiento popular para los viajeros de presupuesto.
El barrio es famoso por su carnaval anual de estilo brasileño. Hay una importante presencia brasileña en la comunidad local y la Asociación de Escuelas de Samba de Asakusa está basada allí.

Asakusa (浅草) is a district in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals, such as the Sanja Matsuri.
The development of Asakusa as an entertainment district during the Edo period came about in part because of the neighboring district, Kuramae. Kuramae was a district of storehouses for rice, which was then used as payment for servants of the feudal government. The keepers (fudasashi) of these storage houses initially stored the rice for a small fee, but over the years began exchanging the rice for money or selling it to local shopkeepers at a margin. Through such trading, many fudasashi came to have a considerable amount of disposable income and as result theaters and geisha houses began to spring up in nearby Asakusa.
For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa remained a major entertainment district in Tokyo. The rokku or "Sixth District" was in particular famous as a theater district, featuring famous cinemas such as the Denkikan. The golden years of Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa (1930; English translation, 2005). The area was heavily damaged by US bombing raids during World War II, particularly the 10 March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo. The area was rebuilt after the war, but has now been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in its role as a pleasure district.
Asakusa was a ward of Tokyo City. In 1947, when the city was transformed into a metropolis, it was merged with Shitaya to form the modern Taito ward. The former ward encompassed 19 neighborhoods in the eastern half of Taito.
Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of central Tokyo, at the eastern end of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as Shitamachi, which literally means "low city," referring to the low elevation of this old part of Tokyo, on the banks of the Sumida River. As the name suggests, the area has a more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than some other neighborhoods in Tokyo do.
Asakusa has many restaurants and places to try traditional Japanese foods. One of the most popular treats is satsuma imo, sweet potatoes. Another special treat is chikuwa kamaboko, grilled fish cakes. The Suzuhiro store serves local craft beer with traditional kamaboko. Asakusa is also known for spices such as shichimi and sansho.
In a city where there are very few buildings older than 50 years because of the wartime bombing, Asakusa has a greater concentration of buildings from the 1950s and 1960s than most other areas in Tokyo do. There are traditional ryokan (guest-houses), homes, and small-scale apartment buildings throughout the district.
In keeping with a peculiarly Tokyo tradition, Asakusa hosts a major cluster of domestic kitchenware stores on Kappabashi-dori, which is visited by many Tokyoites for essential supplies. Next to the Sensō-ji temple grounds is a small amusement park called Hanayashiki, which claims to be the oldest amusement park in Japan. The neighborhood theaters specialize in showing classic Japanese films, as many of the tourists are elderly Japanese.
Cruises down the Sumida River depart from a wharf a five-minute walk from the temple.
Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest geisha district, and still has 45 actively working geisha.
Because of its colourful location, downtown credentials, and relaxed atmosphere by Tokyo standards, Asakusa is a popular accommodation choice for budget travelers.
The neighborhood is famous for its annual Brazilian style carnival. There is a significant Brazilian presence in the local community and the Association of Samba Schools of Asakusa is based there.
Although there are many festivals throughout the year in Asakusa, the most famous of them is the Sanja Matsuri, also known as Sanja Festival in May. In this festival, Mikoshi (portable shrines) and floats are pulled through the streets while loud shouts accompany them, and during the festival's 3 days, 1.5 million people come out to celebrate.
Here we go! I'm 90% positive the orange bowl goes with this set. Honestly, even if it doesn't, it looks great to me so I don't really care! :D
With the end of semester rush in full swing this was a great pick me up!

I just peeked back into my photostream, it has been exactly a month since I found any Pyrex for myself! I picked up a piece this past weekend for trade but that doesn't count!
An impromtu stop at Salvation Army led me to these two beauties. I am not a big fan of the white gooseberry but the pink, YUM! :)
I've been looking everywhere for these online and couldn't find them, so this time when we went to Ikea I just took a picture and here they are.
Received the bottom two bowls in a wonderful swap with Sandy! Now my set is complete :)
Thanks again for a great trade!
I decided to take pictures of my entire Arcopal collection to share with you guys ;) The Scania pattern is one of my favorites; I would love to have the whole set to use it every day!
This shot was taken at the E. Dehillerin cookware shop in Paris. Established in 1820, the iconic institution is packed to the rafters with professional kitchen tools. Julia Child was a regular.
The rather large kitchenware department is located behind produce in the Hernando Kroger Marketplace, but is more toward the middle of the store at the Jonesboro location.

walking down a trendy shop ave. in vancouver we noticed this store window....how many items can you identify??
I was going into a new kitchenware store in my neighbourhood after meeting and photographing my Stranger #300 (Brad) and noticed this striking young woman and her mother who were entering the store ahead of me.
I was immediately drawn to her look and after picking out a couple of coffee mugs as gifts, saw her in the next aisle. I approached her directly and invited her to be part of my 100 Strangers project on Flickr and she said she’d be glad to. She reached out to shake hands so I put down my coffee mugs and we met. This is Clare.
Clare’s mother had drifted into the next aisle and although Clare is 19, I felt it polite that we let her mother know our plan to step outside for better light to take a couple of photos. Clare said “I think she overheard and has the concept.” In fact, her mother seemed a bit surprised when I gave her the run-down and she asked about the project but then said she was fine with it.
Not wanting to duplicate the setup I had used with Brad against the wall of this building, I took a couple of photos on the street but was not pleased with distracting background elements so we crossed the street and used the wall of Canadian Tire, the iconic hardware store, for a simple background.
Clare told me that she has friends who have taken photography at school and had to do projects so she was ok with helping me with my project. “Anything for the sake of art” was her comment.
She said she likes to read and draw and when I asked her how her friends see her she said she hopes they see her as a nice girl with a good heart. I commented that it was her eyes that had made me notice her and I wanted to make sure they showed to advantage in the photo. When I asked how her mother had reacted to her piercings she said “She was kind of freaked out at first but now she’s ok with them.” I asked how her day has gone so far (it was afternoon) she said “Well, I woke up feeling kinda good. That’s always a nice start.” She thought a bit more and said “And this [meeting you and doing your project] is pretty nice.” I was glad she felt that way.
I told Clare that her “moody” look was striking and I must admit that her appearance suggested sadness which I hope is not her frequent companion.
Back in the store I retrieved my coffee mugs and we caught up with Clare’s mother in the cash lineup. We showed her the photos and she seemed impressed. I told her I was emailing them to Clare in the next day or two. The three of us chatted while in line and I told her mother that Clare seemed like a good daughter. She smiled and said “Yes, I’m lucky to have her and her brother. Both are good kids.”
Thank you Clare, for participating in 100 Strangers. I didn’t realize it at the time, but you are Stranger #301 to initiate Round 4 of my project. I wish you a good upcoming year and happiness in life.
