i stopped shoping at crosswords when i found lolita in the children's section - not in one shop but two. seriously !
harini, i ordered for the bell jar by sylvia plath and that too was in the children's section! no wonder kids are so fucked up these days.
they aren't worth talking about... I dont remember the last time I found what I was looking for out there..

Ours was on Monday. and many times before
"What so you have in Orhan Pamuk?"... "Err it's normally in the section where you are standing but we have nothing right now"
Crossword staff member leaves. Charming, young Mumbai couple turn to the shelves. They see three copes of 'Snow' and two of 'The Black Book'.
Books written by Orhan Pamuk.
This is fodder for Ghanta Singh :)
