My first bookfair experience

-
It was decided that me and few of my friends will be going to a book fair. I have never been to a book fair before. And I personally wanted to experience it.


On my way to meet my friends, I had to board 2 different buses. It's been such a long time since I travelled alone for a good amount of 40-50 minutes. It's in the bus, that a thought crossed my mind..that our lives are so simple. Travelling alone or with people to run errands or meet people or to be at places.

From Indira nagar...me, Vishnu, Athul, Megha, Mridula, Vipin, Sharu & Hari… we started… to the book fair. On the roads of Indira Nagar, walking back and forth, we were contemplating on the routes to be taken and the mode of transportation.
Finally boarded a bus to Mehdipatnam, then auto rickshaw till the stadium. My heart skipped a beat when he said there is no NTR stadium nearby NTR gardens because all these people were coming as I wanted to buy books. Anyway, we reached...there it was...book fair… that I was eagerly waiting for.
I bought 17 books and decided to stop buying anymore, thinking that, I might end up spending a lot. We spend almost 2 hours there. I was happy and excited to see so many books around me. I will definitely go again next year.
Later on, we went to NTR gardens and spent some time there and left the place at 4.15 PM or so.
If you ask me, if it was a super special day? Yes it was. Did I like it? I loved every single moment that I spent with them. I loved it because I got to be at a place where there was so many books around… I loved it because I got to spend time with some good people.


To those who read this...go ahead...go out with friends...have some fun time together...hangout with them...it feels so good to be out with people.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas-John Boyne

Excerpt from the book:- "And who decided which people wore the striped pyjamas and which people wore the uniforms?". Blurb of the book:- The book is set in 1940's during holocaust. Its about a boy, Bruno, who comes home one day only to discover that he has to leave Berlin and go to another place because of his father's job. The main thing that bothered him the most was leaving his three best friends for life. What he discovers in the new place and how it changes his life is the rest of the story. My View/Take:- A gruesome act that killed millions and millions of people for belonging to a section that was considered wrong, depicted through the innocent eyes of a 9 year old. It shows the innocence of a child who doesn't understand why he and his family are on the one side of the fence. when rest of them are on the other side, why there are differentiations. A reader should definitely read this book. This book is a good read and  is written in a beautiful way...

2018-A year that went by...

-
As everyone else, I too welcomed 2018 with lots of resolutions and things to do. But me...being me...I didn't do any of those. Now when I look back,I realize that it was a crazy year. Had some bitter-sweet experiences, ups & downs and much more throughout the year. I also got to know and learn many things along the way. So here I am going to share all the lessons/things that I learned in this year, that went by so swiftly. To give up and to give in seems easy and a sensible thing to do in certain situations...but it’s also worthy to take that one step, that one leap towards your goal. Success and failures are two sides of same coin so don’t be afraid if you face a failure. Learn from it and go ahead. It’s ok if you don’t achieve/attain things as per the “timelines”. They don’t define you and your accomplishments. Knowledge is power...So keep yourself updated with new concepts, skills etc. Also share your knowledge with others. It might benefit someone. Being ...
