Chennai Book Fair 2015

Why u buy so many books ? A question which I face frequently. The simple answer of mine to them was and is "What ever i ate today for breakfast , it is sponsored by a book which i read in the past" meaning books are my bread winners. Not an overstatement. With the limited access i had / have , always tried to maximise exposure to books.  Visiting a book fair was always in my radar. Though book fair got conducted in Pondy too @ a marriage hall, access by wheelchair is a big question mark.  Hence chennai book fair was a golden choice. Had an opportunity to visit Chennai Book Fair on 10th Jan with my brother Jena. Baring a slight accessibility issue at the entrance, overall the complete complex was accessible by Wheelchair. Hope they would take care of providing a better ramp at the entrance next year.  With overall 600+ shops, it is certainly not possible to cover them all. With our curiosity, we covered around 75%. Stall after stall , books books and more books..
