The 34th Kolkata Book Fair

I was too tired to write for the last few days. Anyways it had been a great day yesterday!

Me, Aditi, Sreyashi, Rittika and Amrita had been to the book fair. It is being held at Milan Mela prangan and will be from 27th Jan-7th Feb. The location is just opposite to Science City.

We were supposed to meet at the Sodepur station at 11:30 am. Almost everybody came on time except my dear Sreyashi!! So we missed two trains and after that it was announced that no down trains would be coming soon as there were some problems in the lines at Kankinara! wow...what a start!! No we decided upon to take a bus only!(which was previously suggested by aditi!!)

We reached there at about 2pm(1hr late already as we had planned to get there within 1pm!).

Tickets cost Rs.5/- only. This year the Book Fair is having a Mexican theme. We started hopping various book stalls...and I ended up buying in total 6 Novels-all of them by young Indian writers!!(1 book was being gifted to me by my dear Rittika!). Aditi bought 3 and Sreyashi bought 2!! There were sooooo many books....i felt like buying off the entire shops! When i see these many good books, I just can't resist myself! In the meanwhile, we had our lunch from a Haldiram outlet...a combo meal! I also bought 2 books for maa--1 regarding flower plants and another a cooking book! We were hoping for having a Mexican lunch but ended up having Chinese as there was no Mexican food in the Mexican stall!! Only some Mexican music was being played and some books were on display! Took some snaps on Sreyashi's cell..

In d Taxi while on our way back!

The whole area was very big...we were unable to find the exit and there was none whom we can ask coz no one knows! Anyways got out of there, took a taxi to Ultadanga station... Beautiful music was playing on the radio and even better tha cab driver gave us the remote control...so we could change the channels according to our likes!! It felt as if we were on our private car!! Took the train which was too crowded but somehow we managed! It might have been difficult for Aditi who is not a frequent train-traveller!

Overall, we all had an amazing day! We talked, laughed, played pranks,....we were so lively!! I was so exited! The books....i love them! I'm now the proud owner of 6 good books!! hahaha!!

But amidst all i got too tired after all the walking and all....so had to go to sleep right then!!

Now i'm awake at 4am and wanted greatly to write here....

Have a great day!!
