Hey guys,
Hope you all doing good. Weekends have their own charm, everyone looks forward to it and so do I.
Today, I visited a place where my Mother used to shop for my diapers, where I used to stare at my brother if he got a bigger share of the Nahoum's biscuits and bread (There are no compromises when it comes to food! Ultimately, I used to get the bigger piece :)
A place where my legs used to tire, because my Mom would visit every shop before making a solo buy of anything at all. A place where, if you looked up, it wasn't a pretty sight, there were broken windows, scratched paint, pigeons and their nests. If you looked around, you could only see shops with the best of arguments between the experienced home makers and the shopkeepers while making a purchase.
There is a charm about New Market, the Stuart Hocc Market and the new basement market (that’s come up to match the malls)
I haven’t been to New Market in a while, a long while, about 6-8 years. So, when I visited the market to buy a magicians hat and a soft toy rabbit. I was trying to just remember and see if the things that I had seen 6-8 years back are the same or not. And no, they weren’t the same. The exterior was well done and the interiors had some touch up as well. New shops had come up.
I was happy and I was looking for more, something which would catch my eye, besides a walk down memory lane and all of that.
The names of the shops struck me a lot and some really nice names which were easier to remember or because they were different you could remember them. I started noting them down on my mobile phone because I really thought they would make for some outrageous creatives/designs/propositions if they had the creative space.
The names were as follows:
| Name | Category |
| | Clothing |
| Tiffany tomato | Clothing |
| Oops Do re mi U & I Leos Den The Loot Walking fever | Clothing Music store Clothing Clothing Clothing Footwear |
I felt great visiting New Market after a very long time, it brought a smile on my face and made me realize how creative people are and that they just don’t realize that, if they dug a little deeper in their creativity and utilized it in their business. It would be an awesome experience for the people and add so much value and fun to their shopping experience.
Anyways, this write up is all I have for the weekend. I know you have been reading books and want to spend some more time with your family and friends besides logging on to the net and reading about my experiences. So, I am waiting to read about yours. Feel free to post.
Sometimes, to inspire yourself, you need to look for sources of inspiration which you have not used earlier and for that you need to be creative as well.Read the names of the stores before you leave this post. It will bring a smile on your face!
Thank you for reading,
Moiz
