I attended a Book Fair at Sunderbai Hall today and....

....I bought 8 books *hehehe*. Not that I'm very happy with the number of books I bought this year, considering that I purchased a lot more the first time I went there. I actually expected to buy a lot more. I even made plans to travel from Churchgate all the way home by Ola in case I couldn't carry the load back home. Now a book fair is a real super saver for bookworms like me since they normally price it at Rs.100 and Rs.300 a kg for premium books (all your famous bestselling authors and series). If you go on Amazon.in each book will cost you around Rs.200 to Rs.400. The bookstores likes Crossword are way more expensive (they put their own price tags I guess).




Last year when I went I got a lot of JK Rowling, Jeffrey Archer and Dan Brown books. This time surprisingly they weren't to be seen at all. So that was one major disappointing factor. We thought they must have been sold out real quick (even though the sale started on the 5th and we went on the 7th).

However, there were a lot of other premium author if you're not an Archer or Brown fan. To name a few:

  • David Baldacci
  • Fifty Shades of Grey (I don't know the author)
  • Charlaine Harris
  • John Grisham
  • Nora Roberts
One good thing was that I found the entire Veronica Roth Divergent trilogy. I've seen the movies already but I've heard that books are always better than the films so I'm excited.

I also got some Lee Child (Jack Reacher) books and some others that I've never heard of but don't mind trying.

 All in all I would say that the Sunderbai Hall Book Fair in Churchgate has a lot of stuff (second and third hand children's books, novels, premium authors, inspirational stories, dictionaries- all in good quality) that would interest you. It's open till the 14th of this month. So go try your luck!

M ajor Kumud Dogra, donning her crisp uniform, marches forward. This is perhaps of one of the saddest moments of her life – as she pays homage to her martyred husband, IAF pilot Wing Commander Dushyant Vats who was killed in a microlight helicopter crash in Assam. But she isn’t alone. Bundled in her arms is her 5-day baby, one who never had the chance to see her father alive. This picture of Major Kumud Dogra, walking to her husband’s funeral with her baby in her arms. It is difficult to imagine how one can have the courage to shield themselves and not break down in the final moments of losing their dear ones. The courage, resilience and indomitable spirit of the army woman, while bidding her husband goodbye, has inspired many. h ttps://www.thebetterindia.com/132396/army-martyr-husband-newborn/

I just came to know ALL these products belong to HUL (Hindustan Unilever) and I'm shook

Two years ago my teacher sent the entire class on an assignment as part of our Principles of Marketing subject in which we had to visit different retail outlets and check which company manufactured them. I remember going to one such place with 3 other class mates, with Note Pad open in our phones and discreetly clicking pictures of all HUL products. It sort of felt weird at first because we had never done the picture clicking part before, but slowly got used to it as soon as we realized that the line of HUL products was just never ending. We submitted the assignment the next day and that was the end of the story. But just yesterday, I opened the HUL website again as part of my semester  VI Logistics subject assignment (yes I do get homework even in TY!). I was surprised by the products that I saw.
