Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


If you thought that I am going to write the review of Harry Potter then you have come to the right place ...... ha ha ha .... ok read but this isn't a review.

The book got released on the 16th of July and I was in Bangalore. My friends had this crazy idea that there would be long queues like in the US and UK where kids stand overnight to get the book.

The bookstore (www.crosswordbookstores.com) also thought likewise. They actually opened the store at 6 AM. Now, my friends and I thought that it was best to go early in the morning and so we arrived at 6.45 AM. There was a TV crew waiting for the enthusiasts, some kids all excited and their sleepy parents and us ( a bunch of 20 somethings). There wasn't a mad rush but there was excitement in the air. We went to the counter (which was empty !!! ) and finally ... we got our hands on the BOOK.

Now the trouble starts .... we have only one book ... but who gets to read it first ?
