Every year when the chills in air gets milder around last week of January,
every bong urge to go to Boi Mela.
It is a book fair that Kolkata takes a lot of pride in. This is the 38th one. I love Kolkata Book Fair because it gives a platform for non-so-famous publishers to showcase their books and get in touch with readers. But unfortunately, I cannot read Bengali so, I generally go in search for folk tales, fables etc printed in English which are tough to find. I also get to discover more book which I search online and then buy at a far cheaper rate.....mostly from Flipkart. (My order from Flipkart already on its way)
This year I only got a set of 'Fables from India' by Rupa publishers.
Later, I saw a girl with a red bag with Agatha Christie on it. Badly needed the paper bag. I asked the girl from where it was so, I had to get something from Harper Collins, hence, Ask the Policeman. (Ask the Policeman has a crime as described by one writer, then four of the best writers of that time presents a different solution to the same in four chapters)
The book was also available at a huge discount HERE but I needed the BAG.
See, I have my priorities very very clear. *wink*
