"Eda..Coming with you to Landmark is like accompanying a lady to a Saree shop" .. I don't deny that .. And because of this, I dont drag people to this place :-)
As I'm packing up my stuff to leave b'lore, I calculated an approximate sum of money that I had spent @ Landmark over the last two years..That would definitely come to about Rs.22,000+ i think ...People ask me why don't I go and buy second hand books that would come damn cheap ...Well, All I can say is, certain questions does not have logical answers.. the atmosphere @ Landmark is a factor..the awesome collection that they have is another.... maybe that 'freshness' in a book would be another...
But rather than all that I'd say, its not possible to rationally or logically substantiate all your actions in life.. Certain things you do because you just want to do those...And you shouldnt restrict yourself from doing those because, you might regret later in life..
( For the Unititiated, LandMark is an amazing books + vcd/dvd + electronic items + .... quite a few items ... showroom in Forum, B'lore )

The assistants were like God. Very polite, helpful & produced a book I was looking for in 5 minutes out of nowhere.
Cant wait to go back there as and when!
@lavender tulips -- In Madras, not sure about that..I think they have in Mumbai too.
@rinchen - hehe :) ..Yeah, assistants are helpful there.
@bobby - Havnt heard that..But yeah, a bit tough to agree :) Depends on what we want to do :)
Good memories!
I too frequent Landmark, but will be finished with selecting 2-3 books within 30 minutes. I'm an impulsive buyer.
Now I too have to find a source for the next two months.
