The penguin book sale @ progressive

Ditching the ohh-soo-boring and BAD scholastic book fair going on right now at our school premises, we went off to savor penguin books given out at a sale of 30% at our very own Progressive at tech market.


We as in me, shankha and Golu :D Progressive is one of the only two bookshops here in IIT. It has got mostly academic stuff but there are stocks of some very few :P recent books too. And I am soo thankful for this penguin sale thing.

This is like the most awesome thing that could happen to our little bookshop. In progressive, if you are in urgent need of a specific book you just have to order the book and they'll bring the book for you. But man, for the book to come it'll take ages...and who doesn't like to go to a bookshop and  flip through the pages of a nice old storybook and want to buy it? Well, this doesn't happen here. Here you have to WAIT. And you'll be very much lucky if your specific book by any chance in there in the tiny collection of books the store generally holds.
So it really is "a once in a blue moon" thing.

But well today was a different story, after all there was a freaking book sale that we went too. There were books and books which were actually story books and not the usual thermodynamics, refrigeration stuff. There was recent stuff, some novels, books of a wide range of genres. Not to forget...The big fat BIBLE.

Amitav Ghosh, Ruskin Bond, Roald Dahl, Orhan Pamuk, Larrson, Shobhaa De and many many more were there on the racks of Progressive.

We bought 3 books. Me two...Golu one fat one.

Shankha went through the collection, picked some, read random pages from the bible, and found out the perfect Lolita for Karmakar. He's going to buy his picks later.

So we all sat on the dusty floor in Progressive and with keen eyes scurried through the racks and I guess went through the whole collection.

And me being a book mark collector, 2 more precious bookmarks have been added to my collection. And the best part is that they are HARRY POTTER ones :) Thanks Golu for the maroon one. Shankha advanced thanks :D

There's one with a phoenix and the other with a gold potion bottle on it.

The books bought :

Gifted this to my mom with the Olympiad money I had got .

Golu's buy.

Bought this for myself...I love his writings :D

Now, if you haven't yet been to the sale...go cycle to tech and go through the books. You won't be disappointed. I'll rant about IIT not having a proper library later...I have soo much to say on that :P

Anyways, The whole visit to the bookstore was great. I'm planning to drop by progressive again in the evening.

Till my next post,

Read to your heart's desire...

I'm better.

We talked it all out....let's see what happens tomorrow.

Talking helps to clears misunderstanding like anything.

I feel better, much better.

Now looking forward to an evening at Antara's. :)

I can crack up in any sec!

How many more fucking days is this whole thing going to go on?


I am seriously MAD and pissed off. What do you expect me to do? Fall on ur knees and start crying!

It's been like 2 months already. Bloody immature people!

And why am I blamed because of your position on the volleyball court?

And why is that you act as if I don't exist and the next moment you're like " Why are you angry? ...What did I do?"

Bloody damned....The thing you do is act completely opposite at one time...and next time you're fine again.

Last evening was soo great...we actually talked...now its back to the whole stupid thing again!

MAN! I hate it...I hate it....Makes me wanna tear paper and crumble the pieces and make the pieces vanish!


And a bloody SORRY does not work...makes me even more angry!

The Harry Potter pics :)

Yes I know you thought that was Harry :P

Go have a look at antara's harry potter shots  :

This Diwali - Hum Paach! :)

Heyy people,

I just have to tell you about the last 3 days I've had. They went like a blur...a high speed rocket! :)

I am totally true to my words when I say I had a blast. Isha was here in kharagpur to experience diwali our style and she loved it to the core.

The days went by with me, isha and golu gossiping, chatting the whole day on our terrace which I tell you has the  awesomemest view. I mean make a visit to our flat just to be on the terrace. The best time is preferably when it's dark. It's beautiful I mean suddenly you hear the train passing by. ( btw the train line goes by our area! ) And even better in diwali you can see all the houses right beside ours shimmering in the diwali tuni bulbs and lights. And the cool breeze adding to the experience, it's pure amazement! :)

Ok other than goofing arnd on the terrace..we had long scooty rides. Isha was asked what she loved about the whole trip...and she like totally had the scooty ride part on top of the list. Living in a city like kol, you hardly can experience the fun on a simple scooty ride...but here we don't miss it. So isha too got a taste of the scooty scooting through the green lanes of our beautiful campus. At like 60 kmph, double carrying her....toured her through the campus. And she said Golu's a better tour guide but I'm a better driver :P

The food these three days was CHICKEN AND CHICKEN AND CHICKEN...couldn't get any better. We had sprite, breakfast's at tikka, lunch at someone's house. All in all GOOD FOOD!

And coming to the crackers. Chocolate bombs were the biggest hit. We burst crackers on our palms and got hurt but that didn't stop us from going on with the celebrations!

Shankha and Anwesha joined in and we went crazy on the terrace, on the bed ( dude don not think the obvious :P ) and we laughed our hearts out and cracked the most perverted jokes available :P

Illumination - rangoli was great! Took pics :)

Isha's hilarious walking style to Shankha's problem with his eyesight ; Anwesha's relation to cadbury double shots to mine with the number 6 :P Golu's incessant wants to be with sexy girls the whole day to all 5 of us struggling to fit in our bed :P This diwali rocked! :D

I love all these 5 gems :)

The lateee night rangoli done by moushumi mashi and me!

Hope you people had a great diwali !!
Cheers,

SAM B.

Happy Diwali guys :)

Tomorrow is the festival of lights and though I am not excited like I should be ( because of tons of stupid things happening in my life right now ) but still there is this feeling of 'something good will happen' in the near future.

My life is in like a good-bad state and its killing me as well as giving me the best moments I could expect.

Well, I'll stop eating your mind and let's all have a blast this diwali. Forget about your worries and just LIVE!

Burn crackers, burst ur eardrums, EAT, go 'adda' with ur frnds and have an awesome time with ur loved ones.

And one of my best frnd will be coming tom to kharagpur and I love her soo much. Isha, we will have a great time :).

At IIT every diwali...we have this thing called an illu-rangoli competition. This competition just shows how much talent these guys have here. It's breathtaking and worth- a - watch!

Bye for now..

SAM B
