One sunday morning, i visited the Darya Ganj's Sunday Book Bazaar ,Delhi's biggest book bazaar.
Number of secondhand as well as first hand book dealers grab a sizable portion of the footpath and install their makeshift stores.
In all my eagerness,i went early,around 7 in the morning. Turns out i was early than most shopkeepers.
I asked a shop on the opposite lane if the book market had already closed. She didn't know(!!!!!!!).
Any way i waited,and soon enough stall started cropping up.
The market sells all kind of books. So i bought all kinds of books.
Because of my greed, i couldn't stay longer or take more pictures. The load was getting heavier with each shop visit,and the HEAT. At one point i thought i was melting as i greedily swam through rows of old books,which were priced between 10-30 rs(less than a dollar).
I think i lasted for about an hour in the market.
I will visit the market again. This time i shall hold my feelings in control.

i made it to the end:) |

My haul from the market.
The last 3 books were heavy. |
Any one interested, the market runs from 6am to 6pm.Better to visit after 9am though. By then most stalls are up and running. Early bird has its advantage too, you get good deals.:)
