Life goes on ....

Thank you all for your support and empathy.

We lost one of our closest supporters and cheerleaders on the 18th of April. When i announced in Jan, 2002 that i was planning to open a bookstore, he sent me a card, "Congratulations ! You have a new job" ... i'm sure he must have spent hours in all card shops in Vasant Kunj, before he settled on this one.... and decided to correct the appropriateness of the card."Few could envy you", he said.

Books have always been a passion in the family, both mine and Shankars. For my father-in-law, books had to be devoured, underlined, notes written in margins - esp. his favorite physics and popular sciences. He died hoping to publish his physics writings, which were so fundamental and foundation shaking, he was hoping to take a crack at the Nobel !

We will miss him. Walking into twistntales looking straight at "Physics" rack. We now call it "sciences". It was a Kumardhara, tnt combo in his Van.

And thankyou all the others, who didnt think twice to pitch in to keep the Store running. thanks, jahnavi, kshitija, sonali. Shradha, you couldn't have re-joined at a more appropriate time. Welcome back.

But there's more. For one person who's too shy to be acknowledged as "Star" of the month. And she's been star on more occasions than this, but hasn't allowed me to acknowledge publicly. Thanks. We know who this is. Thankyou.
