Blossoms book house

The smell of old books,the scribbles on the margins and the dogeared yellow pages giving a sense of familiarity and content.This is what draws me to Blossoms Book House every single time. I go there to browse and buy old books. The first time I experienced Blossoms was in Kochi,where they sold out of a mezzanine floor. I just went out of curiosity and stayed there for over an hour. I saw old issues of Target and MAD. I didn't know they were even available anymore! But anyway,there began my long association with Blossoms. In Bangalore, they are located on Church Street. They have sold millions of books and enjoy patronage from 6year olds to 60 year olds. In a world of iPads and Kindles, Blossoms still holds and proudly flaunts its old world charm.
