of this video it's going to be a mad one i love i love going back to the bend you've you start
feeling like you're home and i can't wait for that feeling but i'm just gonna take you all
with me i'm right now i'm running some errands so like i've just got some some things
like this because you're gonna get the shits in india you're gonna get the shits
so you need something to prepare yourself and like got some mosquito repellent as well loads of
different things the reason why i'm going to india is i'm getting married soon and i'm going for
wedding shopping literally i've got a list of so many things that i need to get including all of my
outfits all of it for every single ceremony i need to get all of my outfits from india
including the matching jewelry that that will then go with that outfit all the shoes that goes with
that outfit the handbags that goes with that outfit additional things like decoration like
so many things including my parents outfits my brother's outfits it's just a lot that's
happening so i'm aiming it for it to be a successful trip yeah i think in terms
of areas i'm going into so i'm landing in the airport and then um from there we're gonna stay
in this like area called cannot place there's like a h m nearby a starbucks there's pizza hut there's
these really nice like hotels around us really like family tourist safe area so that's where
we've picked to like stay for the first few days but i'm skipping forward a little bit too much let
me just take you on my journey so yeah this was me packing away and it was quite easy to pack to be
fair i packed really light one thing about indians we're always late but we're always early for bag
checking and security that's for sure and this is us getting onto the flight just to shout out vista
in there and just to get forward we've landed into delhi so we've just landed
in delhi i'm not gonna lie that flight was like i slept for most of it but it was tough around
like especially when we landed i had bare pain in my ears it was mad but feeling a bit groggy
i'm just vlogging um
yeah just landing now just going gonna go through security and all that
guy bugs and then we're out this was quite a nostalgic sight for me this
is the first thing i always see whenever we're landing into delhi
and of course as typical punjabis we had to go check out what the old shaarab is saying in there
you step out first thing you feel humidity is mad
it's too hot it's too hot out here we met with our driver who'll be taking us through the whole
trip and we make our way to our hotel that's in connaught place so we've just reached my room
and this is the bathroom pretty cute i'm glad i don't have to squat
in order to go to the toilet and it's got an ass cleaner so they're good
we then had some dominoes which was oh my god it was really spicy even though we just come off the
flight after we munched we went straight to john the trunk just to check out a few things this
was the first dress i ever tried it was mainly for the reception i didn't end up buying it in
the end i felt like it was too cinderella for my liking but it was a nice dress nevertheless
dinner was absolutely sublime we had to go for the dharma makhani on our first
dinner here in india and i really thoroughly enjoyed it
this place was so good i i will put their name on the clip here so you will know
so day one is done i am in bed at 10 p.m with some treats next to me for midnight snacks and yeah
ready for day two hopefully a more productive day and chandni chowk we'll see how it goes good night
i'm serving NRI today drake top primark leggings sheen chapala
she's all i can say i'm serving nri today
i'm gonna walk into a store shopkeepers are just gonna be like major bag alert that's
it so this is cannot place and it's like a circular area that has like all the shops
in a circle which is quite nice we decided to start our first proper day in delhi by visiting
gurdwara bangladesh and this gurdwara was simply stunning absolutely beautiful
i was really glad that we started off such an important trip by going to the gurdwara first
now it's time to start shopping hello hello this is simran from the future here you may
be wondering what am i doing in this vlog about india but essentially there are a lot of moments
where i i couldn't film because when we were entering the stores they didn't allow video and
there were also loads of moments where i was just so stressed out with shopping where the last thing
in my mind was to get my phone out and video things a bit stressed a bit overwhelmed so let
me give you guys a bit of context the first shop that we went to in delhi was one that i have been
praying on instagram for such a long time and there was actually a particular length that i
saw on the instagram that i knew i wanted to try out and i tried it on and i think i liked it just
went to our first store i may have found the one i may have found the one albeit i said yes to this
dress at this first shop that i went to i soon changed my mind and went to this other shop and
said yes to that one and i was so convinced that that one was the one but it was such a risky dress
it went it completely deviated from the color scheme that i was originally hoping to go for
plus the shop owner was a bit of a nightmare to deal with if i'm honest with you and i'm going
to talk more about that in another video where i'm reviewing different shops that i went to
in delhi so after visiting the second store where it completely threw me off in terms
of what dress i even wanted i decided to eat we thought we'd check out just one more store
this is a popular one frontier ross honestly i didn't really like anything that was here and
then for dinner don't hate me guys but i i love pasta in india i love the way indians make pasta
it was so pang i just had to go for western food again such a satisfactory meal spices were amazing
delhi is very very difficult to shop at especially chandni chowk just so busy traffic jams everywhere
yeah it's a bit of a madness and you can't really shop with any kind of peace of mind
someone's at the door yeah so what i was saying is we did
end up finding this lengha that we really liked and we are going to go back to that store
just to amend a few things like i love this dress so much but the shop owner was a bit annoying
guys it's been the maddest journey like i've tried to um find the lengha and i think i found it
i've been saying that because yesterday i thought i found the one but it wasn't
and and now i've kind of gained clarity on the situation i'll explain in another clip
but finally gained clarity on it so this is the clip where i'm explaining what i meant by clarity
so essentially i ended up not going with the dress at the second shop a lot of
reasons the lengha was really just difficult to maintain during the lavaan i'm going to be
matha thek and then going around and like standing up there's a lot of standing up and sitting down
in the actual wedding ceremony itself and that lengha was just not practical for that
also the color scheme was completely different to what i had in mind and the shopkeeper like
i mentioned was really problematic so those are the three reasons why i didn't go for that lengha
which it was absolutely it did take my heart away when i did try it on but there was just
too much it was too risky for a wedding from my own wedding day to wear and then essentially on
the journey there we came across this other store and i ended up really liking one of their lenders
so it was essentially at the third shop where i think i had that moment of clarity so that's
what i was basically summarizing in that last clip just going to the gurdwara now because we want to
we want to do mata dig before we confirm the dress and then we're going to go and get the dress mad
so this is sea sconce sahib and i've been here before absolutely stunning gurdwara
had langar as well which was great it was really important to me to go to the gurdwara
and pray before making such an important decision about my wedding after the gurdwara we make our
way to the store and i said yes to the dress oh my god i'm bricking it i'm absolutely bricking it
so this is my second room for the day we moved into another hotel
pretty nice if i say so myself and yeah and then there's like it kind of connects
oh there's a scale for some reason and it's quite nice because it links into
my parents room the next day we headed straight to punjab look out for part two of this vlog
