Bangalore Apart from being an IT Hub.. its also famous for its Malls…like the Forum Mall, Garuda Mall.., Family Mart..etc etc..
I understand that by “Mall”.. is a place where you get to hangout and also do some shopping.. the genere of shops could vary from Eateries-Dress-HomeDecor-Personal Needs–etc..etc..hey.. wake up people.. such places have already been developed by the BDA (Bangalore Development Authority).
Does the word BDA_COMPLEXES-ring any bell…BDA (Bangalore Development Authority)has built shopping complexes in most of the layouts developed by the government. There are about 12 such complexes at important localities in bangalore and each such complex houses 20 -25shops in 3-4 floors..
