There are very few joys that surpass the joy of a new book.
And it has been years since I received a book wrapped in fancy paper and delivered.
Though Flipkart didnt really gift it to me or wrap it up with fancy heart printed paper, the joy of a new book remained unchanged.
Add to that, a cute blue bookmark, a generous discount and that ethereal moment when the nose touches the papery heart of the pages-the moment when you breathe in words and let them swim through the bloody canals of your heart and brain!
Sigh, I love days like these.
p.s: it is true that such a love inspires silly artwork :P

flipkart books are a new-age joy. just curious, which book was it?
Bah! Eventually Flipkart convert hoye geli toh? Kotodin dhore bolchhilam. How are you receiving them at the hostel room though?
My address has been given to the Flipmen by at least 6 people in my class, as a result of which I am always receiving books. Because I have the ready excuse of not knowing which book is whose, I have the fantastic privilege of opening all the packages. I do love Flipkart.
@Aruni: Bapsi Sidhwa's City of Sin and Splendour :)
@Mandy: Cash On Delivery. I leave the money with teh guard. And yes, thank you for initiating me to the hallowed group Flipkart addicts \m/
@Somewhere Circus: I want such friends! :P
Oh the smell of vanilla in old books. :) I can't imagine reading a book on an e-reader. What's the point? :P
Love, love cash on delivery.
I really think that books can not only be your best friend but can also be that very essential love :)
flipkart zindabad :D
Quite true. But the dabba had those little hearts there as well?
nope.and not the girl pushing that cart (kart?) either.
that is the silly artwork
Oh that, she totally escaped me! More cute than anything else, I suppose.
I think Flipkart is my best discovery this year. Though I'm not sure who introduced it to me.
On a completely unrelated note, I now blog at www.irrelevantbanter.wordpress.com

there is a kind of smell which only new books and to some extent the freshly printed notice which gets regularly pasted on my college notice board have and this is very hard to describe...Perhaps this is why i hate e-books!!!
I bought this HUUUGE Spanish-English dictionary on Flipkart about three months ago...and I'm still mooning over it !!!
