Snippets from something nice a wrote

It’s a widely known phenomenon that booklovers of the country are concentrated in Kolkata and Banglore but the state capital in days to come, could give these metro cities a run for their money when it comes to books. Raipurits have certainly started to think beyond fairy tales and the Harry Potter saga. Rather people have picked up a fancy for comprehensive range of books from novels to books of Indian and International history. Although number of pseudo intellectuals and pretentious readers has also increased who read just for the sake of being called scholarly or just because every one else is reading. It may be the extravaganza of multistoried, metro city like shopping malls that is giving rise to pseudo-intellectuals in the capital city or may be people genuinely have developed a taste for good books. What ever may it be, fact is books no longer remain a way of time killing and it could be said, people have taken to reading as a hobby for which they are steeling time from their packed schedule.
