It felt like another tricky # Bloghop prompt for the week . I was wondering how do I address the topic when presto I had it, the one thing I happily bought over the years...
Not being in general, a fan of second hand goods
the topic stumped me for some time...
then the bulb flashed- It's books of course!
one thing the value of which doesn't diminish
by a change of hands...
On the foot paths of Indian cities, small little shops
you can find them all- fiction, nonfiction, text books
romance, crime, management books, you name it!
Some good finds for me, were books
on self help, communication, networking
health tips, Reiki, naturopathy, magnet therapy
spirituality, HR insights, mystery, court room drama...
Apprehensions, doubts, fears of wrong choice
vanish when it's books you are buying!
After all, you know the author and buy
what you relate to, what you love!
a material worth much more than its physical value
to some, simply priceless!

That reminds me - the only secondhand things i bought are books too.
ReplyDeleteNice...:)
ReplyDeleteA n excellent write. An poet once more than a 1000 years ago wrote: A book is the best time-life companion .
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for responding and sharing your take on the subject!
ReplyDeleteRarely people come across about second hand articles especially books nowadays. About 30 years back, Moore market was a favorite stop for anything and everything. Pycropts road in Triplicane was next stop. Now the craze is for automobile and electronic devices. The trend changes over a time but the interest isn't. It has become part of culture and convenience.
