Lending Library Adyar

BookznMore (www.bookznmore.in) is situated on L B Road, Thiruvanmiyur.

Collection- They have got a good collection of books ranging from thrillers, romance to Indian fiction and best sellers. Surprises were the whole range of Louis L'amour, Tintin and Asterix. The usual suspects- Grisham series, Rushdie's collection, Agatha Christie, Stepenie Meyer. Their range of books for children and toddlers is impressive. Given that I have a 2 year old, I find it very easy to get her new reads without having to buy the very expensive childrens books.

The best part is their Magazine selection, which includes womens favourites like Cosmo, Elle, Femina, among others, childcare magazines, the eternal favourite Readers Digest, as well as Auto and film related. My must-pick every week- Newsweek.

Staff- Very friendly staff. All trained well. They home deliver promptly too. They are all hi-tech too, with issue and return of books made simple on a touch screen kiosk. No waiting in line, no hassle.

Moneywise- Very reasonable. No reading charges. My plan gives me 3 books and one magazine at any time, home delivery and I pay Rs 750 per quarter.

Last word- They must keep adding new releases, and get more best sellers in their collection.

Naakka Mukka

Let me start with the auspicious. This award winning ad has a special place in my heart. And here we are, in the land itself, trying to figure out the Nungambakkams from the Injambakkams...
Im in Besant Nagar so of course the topicality will remain focused mainly here. The beach is divine of course, especially if you go at about noon time, you will surely see your God dancing about in front of your reeling head. I tried one day. I almost broke my back carrying my child to the beach, and totally singed my feet. The water was some relief, until I thought Ill have to trudge all the way back to the road in that heat. And Sun. Believe me, I never prayed harder for some divine intervention!!
SO here I am Chennai. Lets have a memorable journey!
