A visit to CCD, Cyber City(DLF Phase III Gurgaon)

At 11pm, when you feel the urge for a hot bite and drink, making it yourself is not the best option for a bachelor(ok even married men would hesitate at waking up their wives for this, but then they would probably be housetrained for basic cooking :D). When I walked 5min to the nearest foodcourt, CCD caught my eye and surprisingly it was still open! Following were my observations-btw what drew me in was the value for money Samosa+Chai/Coffee for Rs 49(+taxes=Rs 58), comparable to what I'd pay in the much less comfortable food court.
  • It is open from 8am-4am(!!!) even longer than McD which is from 9am-1am. Am not sure whether the counter person meant  8pm-4am, actually that would kinda make more sense. There was just a single person on duty there. 
  • Comfortable cushioned couches instead of the normal chairs I saw in other CCDs
  • A TV playing Movies OK channel 'Maine Tujhe Pyar Kiya'!
  • A wall advertisement by www.yebhi.com having QR codes of products which users could scan to get directed offers. Personally, I felt that was pretty cool
  • Promotional pamphlets by Samsung for its Galaxy S4, and by Vodafone for its trial 3G pack of 500MB for just Rs 49. Both being yuppy brands, advertising in CCD is a good idea
  • The usual merchandise of coffee, cups, strainers etc for those inclined to purchase
  • CCD times-an in house publication.
In all, a comfortable place to hang out and apt for the luxuriant ambience of Cyber City.
