Visiting A Book Fair A Book Fair was being held in the Pragati Maidan. So, one morning our teacher said that we were going to visit there. We cheered loudly with enjoyment because there would be no lessons for the day. We lined up outside the CLASSROOM. Then we marched in pairs to the school gate where our school bus was waiting, Pragati Maidan was just a few kilometers from our school. At the Pragati Maidan we were told to behave ourselves. If we wanted to buy any book, we were to take it to our teacher. Then CD we viewed the vast number of books on display there. It was impossible to look at all of them. So I spent my time browsing mainly among the books op wildlife and nature. As much as the books were wonderful, the price was discouraging. I could not afford to buy any of them. I would have to ask my mother to buy one for me later on. Time flew and two hours seemed like two minutes. Soon our teacher told us to assemble at the front door. There she helped those buying books pay at the counter at a special discount. Not many of us bought books as they were too expensive. I did not buy, too. After paying for the books we lined up and went BACK to school. Essay No. 03 A Visit to A Book-Fair Last month I visited a book-fair. It was held at Pragati Maidan. It was arranged by the National Book Trust of India. I with my friends went to see the fair. There were several book-stalls managed by different publishing houses. It was a matter of delight to watch different stalls. There were local publishers, national publishers and international publishers. The people from different parts of the country had converged there. The stalls displayed children’s books, subject-oriented books, language and literature books, books on science and technology, books on law, finance, management and medical science. The book fair attracted a large number of men, women and children. Every stall was impressive. What attracted us the most was the seating arrangement? I purchased a number of books for my general reading. After having gone around the stalls, we had a cup of coffee. As the clock struck seven, I walked back home.
