When people ask me what my hobby is, I
almost always tend to reply that it is reading books; not just fiction
or the course work but also non-fiction. What I don’t mention is that I
also like buying books. Well, that can be an unusual hobby-buying books.
But yes, its an old hobby of mine. I normally buy books meaning to read
them, but due to lack of time, effort and energy most of them are still
lying unread. Someday I will read them all, I promise myself. In this
pursuit of buying books I always scan any new places for bookstores and
over the years I have been to numerous places and have visited some
amazing stores. In the recent days, Flipkart.com and the Tata Book House
at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras have been my favourite for
the amazing discounts that they offer.
