I ha
d visited Pro Musicals ages ago when I had accompanied someone who wanted to buy a Yamaha keyboard. I didn’t remember much except the location when recently a friend asked me to pick up a book for her son who was taking up the ABRSM exam (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music). Well, the book was not available. But they took down my number, saying that they would inform once they got it. Having experienced this in many shops, I posted a reminder to myself to check the shop a week later. So, imagine my surprise when Pro Musicals called the very next day to say that I could pick up the book. More so since the book cost less than Rs 300. What professionalism and what customer service! That is when I decided to find out more about the shop.

When you are getting into the spirit of festive shopping, how would you feel if you are asked (ordered, rather) to accompany a family member as navigator! So, there I was, saying ‘go straight, turn left, etc.’ glumly to Ms.B. As they say: Too bad you can’t choose your family members.
In a World of Words
“I am off to a book shop. Anyone coming?”, asked Priya. When none bothered to respond, she offered a bait. “My treat. How about dinner at…”. Before she finished three of us were out of the door.When we entered the New Book Lands shop at T. Nagar, dinner was forgotten. It’s a treasure trove for literature lovers, in the vernacular in particular.

A visit to the Vivanta or the Taj Connemara to meet a filmmaker got Priya and me talking of fine living and finer dining when Priya suggested that we drop in at “Acira” on our way back.
About The Sound Of Music And Torvin
How to celebrate Deepavali if you are in the city, away from family? It was decided that all the stranded souls would gather at my apartment for a bit of brunch, munch, late lunch and chipper chatter. It was all smooth till I turned on the music. One asked what song it was, even though it’s the rage now. Priya wanted ear plugs. Another threatened to throw either me or the speakers out. The verdict – my speakers needed to be replaced.
