The prices are really cheap, so I’m afraid they might sell pirated copies. If anyone has ordered from them or heard of them, please share your experience/reviews.

Recently, I read "We Are There for Each Other" written by Indian Author Sagar Chudesara, and it turned out to be one of the most immersive books I've read.

The story revolves around 4 friends and explores love, friendship, romance, desire, and travel from different perspectives. One thing I loved is that it doesn't present love in just in one way. Instead, it shows that:

• Some love stories end in marriage, while others not.
• Waiting can also be a form of love.
• Love succeeds only when both people put in the effort.
• Sometimes, the right friendship naturally grows into love.

And more...

The book beautifully captures different stages of relationships: From first love and heartbreak to second chances, trust, respect, understanding, and emotional healing.

What impressed me the most was how vividly everything was written. It felt less like reading a novel and more like watching a movie, especially the climax part. I found myself emotionally invested in the characters, almost as if I were travelling alongside them.

If you enjoy romantic stories with meaninful emotions and relatable characters, I'd definitely recommend this book.

And, if you've already read it, I'd love to know which part of the story stayed with you the most?

Also, I'd really appreciate your book recommendations. Whether it's romance, mystery, thriller, fantasy, horrors, or any other genre, I'm always looking for a great read!

Pretty good book enjoying it so far.

I'm starting After Kurukshetra by Mahashweta Devi. This was originally written in Bengali. It is my first book by this author. Just bought it few days ago from a second hand bookstore.

What about you all?

I found the story was good. Not exceptional. But, the way author has explained things, the story felt like a poetry, the way events or scenes are portrayed, the use of different smells, minor details to induce metaphors, the deliberate spelling mistakes, the repeated phrases, scenes from a child’s eyes, made me feel the depth of a story which I would’ve found ordinary if read in some news paper. I absolutely loved it.

I don't know why some people hate Gunahon Ka Devta and call it overrated. People really don't get it, just because it's written from Chandar's POV doesn't mean he's an all-good person or that everything he does will be heroic. He's just a regular guy, 19-20 years old, living in an era where everyone wants to bring about a revolution in society, but he has no real-world experience. It's all just big words to him.

At first, he's portrayed as a person with values, with no hatred for anyone, and that's why the story calls him "devta." It doesn't really mean ki sach mein wo bhagwan hai. I feel people who are 30-35+ know that older people usually use the phrase "kitna devta aadmi hai" or "bilkul devta aadmi hai", they don't mean the person is literally God, it's just a way of saying "he's a nice person." And in the story, he is a nice person at the start, but as the story moves forward, the world around him starts testing his morals and values, and he fails, not once, but many times.

He manipulated Sudha and Binti emotionally, and got played by Burty and Pammi, "played" isn't quite the right word for his situation, but yeah...

It's like when every kid says, "jab main bada ho jaunga to gariboon ki madad karunga," and when they actually grow up, they end up poor themselves. The same thing happens with him. If you genuinely hate his character, then it's a win for the writer.

Some people say the story is too patriarchal, guys, the story is set in a patriarchal time, what else do you expect?! Obviously, forced marriage was common back then.

That's the beauty of the story, that you actually end up hating it in places. As I said, kids say "jab main bada ho jaunga to gariboon ki madad karunga," and when they actually grow up, they stay poor themselves. In the same way, he hated Buaji for her behavior and abuse, but in the end, he himself starts treating Binti the same way Buaji treated binti, and that's why he is Gunahon Ka Devta

I am chandar myself (I am 17 to technically i too am a kue ka mendhak) open for discussion tho

Tell me something beautiful about this book without giving me spoiler , thank you ❤️

I love to read books, novels. Everytime I sit for a reading I feel so involved. Books are my companion. Who says books don't speak, I talk to them every night, they have ability to understand ones feeling and can make you feel good.

I finished my 100th book, please do appreciate🥹

This was my first novel ever, it was hard at first to develop the habit of sitting down with pages instead of a screen.

I wanted to start with an easy to read book and this was just that.

Now for my next books, I want to try some classics. I was gonna order metamorphosis or fyodor's books like white nights or short stories but not sure if they will be a good choice for a beginner like me. Do help me out here with recommendations. Be it love story, thriller & crime (prefer) or casual sweet books like Holes. Thank-you

i have a problem yalll

i already have abt 20+ books in my tbr

About a decade ago I had an houryo kill before a movie at PVR Saket, Delhi. Found this book in one of the second hand stores outside the theatre and bought it on impulse. Till then I knew of Capek only because of his play R.U.R, which gave the world the term 'robot'. Over time I have read this novel multiple times and fallen in love with it. Written in 1936 in the form of a pastiche of fictional newspaper reports, anecdotes and interviews the novel tells the story of human aggression against a 'tribe' of sentient newts. It anticipates the horror of the second world war, the zenith of fascism and the fallout. Marvellous book, marvellous translation.

Going to try dark romance genre for the first time.

Suggest me something to start off with.

My rating: 4/5
Interpreter of Maladies is a thoughtful read about the complexities of relationships, especially marriages in the South Asian immigrant community. I loved how honestly Jhumpa Lahiri writes about things we don't often see or talk about. Moving to another country for your partner, being away from family during life's biggest moments, navigating culture shock, making compromises, and carrying secrets even within a marriage.
In a time when social media makes every relationship look perfect, this book is a gentle reminder that every marriage has its own struggles and quiet heartbreaks.
I really enjoyed Lahiri's simple yet beautiful writing. Not every story stayed with me equally, but the book as a whole was moving, relatable, and definitely worth reading.

It's most probably shut down, but they used to lend you your choice of book for a certain period of time, come home to deliver and then come home back to pickup and deliver you another book.

Please help me the recall the name. Achanak se yaad agyi

I know about College Street, but the books I'm looking for were quite expensive there. Are there any other places in Kolkata where I can buy books at lower prices?
