Now exactly how bad is this ?
"Oxford Book Store in Jayanagar 5th Block is CLOSED. "
A friend informed me about this and we actually drove down to find a A4 size sheet hanging outside saying "Oxford Bookstore is shutdown"
The reason being that their contract with Oxford ended & so the closure.
Just can't digest the fact that so many nostalgic memories are just whipped off by some weird contract. The trips planned, hours & hours of nothing but everything kinda discussions, the chai,the people(Mahesh & Amarish Uncle in particular) everything ..... Phew!!!! it was not just a normal bookstore.
Now its turning into a saree and a jewelery shop.
In case you have not tasted the Ayurvedic , Brahmi and the Truck Driver chai .. your missing something bigtime . On a second thought , you are actually better off, because the feeling that you can not have it again is the worst.
I am now convinced of the 2012 dooms day ...Clearly such -ve developments are signs of where we are headed.
If there is anyway oxford can extend the contract .... Just do it....
