    "I am also going to tell you about a fictional character whom I always wanted as my best friend or can say I wanted to see them as a best friend. Sakura Yamauchi from the movie or manga. I wanted to eat her pancreas. She is a high school student who, despite battling a terminal pancreatic illness, exudes a vibrant and optimistic personality. She is known for her cheerful and spontaneous nature, often seen as a bright light in the lives of those around her."

    "So much cheaper than the paperbacks. And while I'm at this topic, let's just say I do not like hardcovers. Paperbacks are a thing, but hardcovers. Controversial opinion, but yes. The only books that are supposed to have hardcovers are the classical ones. It's my opinion, okay, because hardcovers were supposed to be special thing, like some deluxe edition. I do not want deluxe edition of a crappy book, bro. Who is even buying it?"

    "It's totally disheartening. The magic of folding a book, diving into its pages and losing track of time is now overshadowed by the relentless chase for likes and validation. We must ask ourselves, have you traded the timeless joy of reading for the fleeting illusion of social relevance? If so, let's rethink. Let's reclaim these spaces for what they were meant to be, a heaven for readers, not just an accessory for our screens. Thank you."

    "They in, you know, they accumulate their wealth, they then, you know, project the results, they fight the election, they, you know, spend their money and when they get elected, they start to think about recovering the cost and, you know, fighting for the next election. How will they get the new votes, right? So that's how, you know, they start doing it. So they will do only the things that will get them elected again, right?"

    "It would be filled with silence and would be haven for avid readers like me. But I can't say the same for the bookstores in Delhi because I don't find the same with these in quotes. Pinterest book bookstores, where people more often come to show that they have visited the place rather than do the actual stuff, which is really. But we can't blame them either as these bookstores are set up in such a way that they feel like they were made for photographs only."

    "Additionally, independent bookstores often use their charming interiors to compete against online giants, offering an experience that can't be replicated with a click. Well, what is important here is that it is not the facelift that these bookstores may get so soon, but whether or not they know how to serve readers and not influencers alone. Quality book curation events for authors, quiet areas, I guess all these should not be sacrificed in pursuance of aesthetic appeal."
