A bibliophile awakened.

Good morning folks,

Its friday. Usually for me, its one of the most active day of the week. Today, I started it with some serious business. After I woke up this morning, I ordered few books online. I love reading books. During my childhood, when my friends used to play cricket during their play time, I used to read books. Comics, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedia, novels or just anything printed in black on white, I read them all. I was a bibliophile. But as the time passed, laziness rusted all my hobbies; specially reading. I preferred to snuggle inside my blanket or yawn while watching idiot box than going to some book store and shuffle books.

Things would have never changed for me, if I happened not to read a wonderful blog post by a blogger friend Kriti. She wrote about her love affair with books ;) This was some good inspiration for me. So, to celebrate and cherish my long association/obsession with books, I have ordered three books for a start. Two of them are by favorite author Ruskin Bond. I have heard 'quite a lot' good things about Flipkart and their service, that's why I have chosen them to shop these books. Shopping experience was smooth. Best things about online shopping are the DISCOUNTS. I got a fair sum of discount on all three books. Now I am waiting for them to deliver within 2-3 business days (which seems impossible to me), as promised by them. Here is a snapshot of the receipt.


I will review about Flipkart service after I receive my package. Fingers crossed !!
