The City of Wrestlers, Gujranwala has progressed more than ever before. Whether it’s the lifestyle of its people or any business, the development is great. But there are surely some trends that we are leaving behind. There was a time when we had to enjoy the great exhibition in Gulshan Iqbal Park Shaheenabad Gujranwala. Similarly, there are countless exhibitions or stalls that we used to enjoy in our city Gujranwala.
Same goes for these book stalls. Book stalls are probably the one of the most nostalgic things from 2000s. People used to visit these book stalls and buy their favorite books. These book stalls variety were not only limited for the adults but they had a huge range of books for the kids too.
Book reading is one of the healthiest yet wise activity we can have. But sadly, all of our spare time is all grabbed by the social media. People spend hours watching some random yet stupid videos on the internet. There is a saying, “You are what you see”. So, we better be careful what we are watching on the internet and should go for some healthy activities like reading rather than using social media or playing online games.
You might be wondering where to get the best books in Gujranwala. Same was my question a few months back. Finding books is easy, you can go to the Urdu Bazaar Gujranwala and can get your desired book. But sometimes, Urdu Bazaar isn’t enough to find a certain book. Even if you find your favorite book, better be ready to pay the big price for that.
Let’s say, if I have to buy a book “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, I will reach for my phone to have a look at some online store selling it. Some online stores are selling these books in used condition too and have a great variety ranging from Pakistani to International books when you go for the checkout, you realize the book cost like 600 and the delivery charges making the total near 900. Although there are some stores who give discounts or take no shipment charges while ordering books over 1500 or 2000 but then there’s you, who want a single book of “The Alchemist”. You surely should enjoy the luxury of the book being delivered to your doorstep. But sometimes, being a desi bargain guy, just say mhngi hai, and move on.
Same goes for my interests in online buying, until I found this book stall near satellite town Gujranwala and I was amazed to see the variety of Pakistani and international bestselling books at the stall. Ranging from the masterpiece “Jannat kay Pattay” to “Forty Rules of Love”, It was so surprising. After exploring the stall, a little, I found this masterpiece, “The Alchemist”. When I asked about the price, I was amazed that it cost only 300! Whether it was “Think Like a Monk” or “The Secret” the stall had most of the best international best seller range at the best price. Not only this, the stall also had a variety of books for the children too. Till that day, I feel grateful of finding a stall like this where I can get my favorite books at the best price. The books are in used condition but feels new. So, if you are reader too and want to explore this amazing book stall, you can find the book stall on Pasroor Road Gujranwala. Going straight from J Dot to the Pasroor Road, the stall is located at the corner of the road infront of Govt. Mian Rehmat Ali Memorial Home Economics College.
