I do not know why I do this to myself.
Whenever I see a bookstore, why is it that I cannot control myself from getting in there? When I know that I will again end up buying another set of books. While the amount of money I spend does alarm me after I have come back to my hotel room and got back to my senses, it also pains me to see the number of unread books that I have now accumulated. God knows when I will be able to finish these books. At the same time, when I enter a store, I end up not only buying a lot of books, but also with a list of a few more that get into my list to pick up the next time.
I forgive myself this time. After a long stint at small towns, I saw a Crossword after such a long time, I just could not stop myself from getting in there. Thank you, Pune. Last few months I had had to be content with buying books from those dingy airport stalls.
But no experience matches buying of books from a big bookstore (Landmark is a favorite), browsing through books and spending hours on end there. Well, thats one reason why none of my friends want to get into a bookstore with me. But, once inside one, I hardly need anyone. Books are the world to me.
