As I stepped into Crossword, I kept telling myself that I am not going to spend a rupee more than 500. That's because I go absolutely berserk when I see books on sale. (Everyone in the family believes that I am going to run a library after retirement!)

But I need not have worried. None of the books that I would have gone for were on sale. I, however, picked up a slim volume that has promised to teach Spanish to the beginners. I am bringing it to the office for the past 2 days in the hopes of learning a phrase or two when I get some breathing time. No such luck so far :-(

Let's see when I manage to at least open it up!
