Chennai
Book Fair 2017

Reading books and the feel it gives
varies with each individual. It can be pleasurable, boring, entertaining, adventurous
and informative. Indeed, the taste varies according to the individual. I am a
person who is not a book lover or a voracious reader; I’d rather read books
that are my cup of tea.
I have plans to do the Indian
Administrative Services, and I also have a strong passion for the IPS for which i do a
lot of preparations (both mental and physical).
It is my liking towards the Police
profession that has always attracted my attention to the detective series in
movies and in books. As i went for this year's Chennai Book Fair which was held
during the month of January, i got myself a series of detective novels.
The moment i entered the book
exhibition centre, my eyes were searching for something new or something that
is close to my passion and taste. My eyes were skimming the books that were
kept for sale among which all the disciplines were included.
It was all of a sudden that my eyes
got hooked at one shop where the front shelf was full of detective books, which
my mind was actually looking for. I rushed to the shelf and took the complete
works of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and skimmed through the
blurb to satiate my mind.
Though i have spent almost an hour
in the place, the moment i got my favourite genre, it took me only a splash of
seconds to pay and pack the books back
home.
