book fair was awesome.. i bought quite a few books… not the same as every year but about ten… though there are three that i wanted and i couldn’t.. i didn’t find roshomon… nor did i get marx’s das kapital.. and i forgot to buy woodehouse which i had promised myself… maybe if i visit again this week… hmmm the penguin stall is the best… they have gone full fedged the market way and offered a buy one get one free scheme on hindi literature… quite a few good books there… the other good place is ncert… they have brought quite a collection.. i bought kothari commission for 6.50!! then i got a few books for my niece… a knitting patterns book for mum and one or two for my sister… i also bought a book of hindi short stories, a book on stephen hawking, two books on islam.. ram charitmanas from geeta press. though i wanted the valmiki one, but it was not available in medium size..and i bought a book on religion i think… a total of ten books apart from those bought for mum and niece… and i met a few interesting people as well… like the man who makes awesome grilled sandwich and pizza… and serves with love that distracts you from the taste.. it tastes good as well though…well, that sums it all up… and now i’ll copy paste this on my blog… how lazy i am…
