What would be world without books?

It is unimaginable to think what our lives would have been without books. For example, how would be transfer knowledge from generation to generation, yes it was done verbally before books but would it be possible to communicate verbally all the knowledge without books.
Today we have so many online bookstore, from our childhood we buy books, read books and grow up with books. With the option to buy books online, books are now much closer to our lives.
But how would have our lives been without the books. Imagine was it possible to discover electricity, fan, computers on which we are typing etc. Was it possible to discover matches, cooking gas, LPG, etc without books.
Was it possible to discover, invent clothes that we wear today without books. Imagine the background time behind the discovery of buttons which we use to zip our shirt!
Every little item which we use today has a history a great history of evolution, they seem very common to us because we are so acclimatized with them.
But trust me all this was not possible without books. Though knowledge would have been shared but the speed of evolution, I feel would have been like, still we must be living in middle ages!
Ha, just penned down some musings, don’t worry, our lives is with books, buy books online and share knowledge.
Happy reading!

5 Best & different love stories

Go through any of the online bookstores, every second book you will come across is a love story. And every second day a new love story is published, sometimes when think to buy books online, it really becomes tough to decide which one to buy.
Tastes may differ from person to person, but today I would like to sum up one of five love stories, of different tones which I really like. May be, this can help you make better judgment when you buy books online.

1. Love In Times of Cholera: When we talk about love stories, this book by Gabriel Garcial Marquez definitely makes it place. It has something or the other for everyone. From an ardent lover who waits for nearly a century to propose again, to a chemistry between a husband and a wife. To a philosophical ending. I will not talk much about the content and plot but would definitely suggest you to read it at least once.
2. Censuring An Iranian Love Story: This novel published in year 2009 written by Shahriar Mandanipour, is not just a love story but it a picture of contemporary Iran. However I love this book as a love story. Like the previous one, I will not share much details but would narrate one incident from the novel. The protagonist of the story calls up his beloved after a long-long time on a landline phone. But both the hero and heroine dial simultaneously at the same time. They both hear engaged tone, they try again simultaneously, again they hear engaged tone, and they try again and again the same tone. Then author intervenes saying that he is touched with the plight and will show a fault in the Iran’s already problematic telecom sector and make their calls connect even if they dial simultaneously.
3. Lust For Life: This book is an biography of painter Vincent Van Gogh by Irwing Stone. It is basically a biography but the narrative depicts the craving for love and the innumerous tales of unrequited love in the life of the painter will certainly touch everyone.
4. Snow: This book by Orhan Pamuk is not exactly a love story but I love it as a love story. Among other social, political aspects, it’s the subtle love between the main protagonist poet Ka and his old time beloved that I felt is best part of the book.
5. PS I Love You: This book by Cecelia Ahern may sound cheesy for some but I really love it for the beautiful depiction of how love is beyond life. We can love someone beyond our life and can care for our beloved even after we are no more in this world.

These were just some personal likings, there are a lot of other love stories on online bookstores and others are equally good. Go ahead, buy books online and enjoy them.

क्रेडिट और डेबिड कार्ड यूज करें
क्रेडिट और डेबिड कार्ड यूज करने के पीछे बस सिक्योरिटी और लिक्विडिटी कारण है। वैसे डेबिट कार्ड से शॉपिंग करते हुए यह पूरी तरह आपके अकाउंट से कटता है लेकिन क्रेडिट कार्ड से आॅर्डर करने पर पर बाद में उसे कैंसल करने कैश वापस के लिए पर आपको ज्यादा सोचने की जरूरत नहीं पड़ती। क्रेडिट कंपनीज उसे वापस ले लेती हैं।

पर्सनल सिस्टम के साथ सिक्योर ब्राउजर
अपना शॉपिंग हमेशा नए खोले ब्राउजर विंडो में करें। इस तरह आपका आॅनलाइन ट्रांजैक्श्न ज्यादा सुरक्षित रहता है। साथ ही सार्वजनिक कम्प्यूटर या फिर अपने दोस्त का मोबाइल इस्तेमाल ना करें। ऐसा करने पर हमारी जानकारी लीक होने का भय बना रहता है।

सिक्योर वेबसाइट की जांच कर लें
आॅनलाइन शॉपिंग के लिए सबसे पहले तो ये ध्यान रखें कि जिस भी वेबसाइट से आप खरीदारी करें उसके एड्रेस में http नहीं, बल्कि https हो। 's' जुड़ जाने के बाद सिक्योरिटी की गारंटी हो जाती है और वो फेक साइट नहीं होगी। कभी-कभी 's' वेबसाइट में तब जुड़ता है जब आॅनलाइन पेमेंट का समय आता है। फिर ये चेक करें कि जहां से आप सामान खरीद रहे हैं क्या उसका पता, फोन नंबर और ईमेल एड्रेस वेबसाइट पर लिखा है?

आॅफर्स के साथ कूपन्स, प्राइस अपडेट्स का रखें ध्यान

Why most books deal with love??

Almost 90% of the stories are either love stories or have love as a most important element. You browse any online bookstore read their collections of books online, it is clearly evident that majority of the books deal with one emotion called –Love.
Sometimes it comes as a surprise, why Love is only dealt in majority of the books and why these books are on the bestsellers list on online bookstores as well as the offline ones.
Personally I feel it’s mainly because love is the basis of all our relations. In fact, love gives birth to most of our other secondary emotions too, it is for this reason that it catches the minds of our authors and readers also relate to it.
By simple mathematical point of view, if our parents didn’t love each other, we would not have been, if we don’t love someone, there will no one after us.
However, besides mathematics there are several other reasons related to ourselves being human. Like Irwing Stone wrote in Lust For Life, “It's so easy to love. The only hard thing is to be loved" here she talked about what we feel we are not loved. Gabriel Garcia Marquez said, “You may only be a person in this world, but for someone you're the world” this tells us what we become if we are being loved.
Rainer Maria Rilke said, “Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other,” clearly telling us why we need love.
Personally whenever I go ahead to buy books online and start browsing online bookstores with a determination that I will not buy any book on love and I buy for say five books at least two are on love!!! LOL!

Simple ways to help you remember what you read in books

You must have noticed that though you have read a book you tend to forget many things, even some important ones.
Trust, me it’s not only with you but it’s almost same for everyone until and unless you develop and inculcate some best practices of reading books, though with a lot of online bookstores and online books, which repeatedly keep coming to us through internet things are easier to remember. But as per my own experience I would like to share some of best reading practices here:

• I forget the names of the people, characters etc

It’s a no problem until and unless you remember the nuances, characters’ name is fictional if you forget that he was named Rajesh, you are free to call him Sunil!
But if you want to remember even those. Make sure while you read that you try to imagine the character by its name (not he or she) in the events of the novel or book. For example if a character Sunil is boarding a bus, when you visualize while reading don’t think he boarded bus, try to imagine that Sunil boarded bus. It’s not that simple I know but little practice will make it as natural as riding a bicycle

• I normally forget the plot

That’s something serious, if you are forgetting the plot means you are not reading with your full concentration. Try to visualize things, while you are reading, if you are not able to visualize please change the book, the book is not able to draw your attention.

• I never remember important quotes of the books I have read

You come across some very interesting quote on any online bookstore or book review site, make up your mind to buy books online, after reading the quote and as soon as you find out the name of the book which is being quoted, you are shocked to see that you have already read that book! Yes it happens, it happens because while reading you were too engrossed in the plot that you missed those beautiful lines. While you read books treat every chapter, every incident as a separate story. Then you will easily notice these quotes, if found too interesting make note of it.

So now practice these steps, keep aside your worries, go ahead buy books online and read
Happy Reading!

'Books are the dreams that we hold in our hands'

Books are the dreams that we hold in our hands- This famous quote about books by Neil Gaiman speaks tons in itself.

Yes, books are the dreams, but I believe that unlike those dreams which remain a fantasy books are the dreams seen with open eyes and in full consciousness-they are basically our yearnings, what we aspire to be, what we aspire our world to be and if what we are not able to be due to xyz problems.

Nowadays we can easily go to any online bookstore and buy books online, and with this option there is bombardment of books. Imagine how many dreams, aspirations we have! More the number of online books or otherwise physical books, more the number of dreams, its endless yes, the course to perfection is always endless, same is the case with our world.

Books, carry us to another world, we call it a dream sometimes but actually it is not, its reality, which can be achieved but we are not able to due to our limitations. Though, some may argue that books do not help us achieve those dreams physically, yes, it can be, but I believe we are closer to our dreams by step, by just thinking about it. Thinking about change, is first step towards the change.

So browse online bookstores, buy books online and take the first step towards your dreams!

Happy Reading!
