Adventure in Triplicane

Pretty exhausting day ..... legging it through the city in search of a book on SAP-FI/CO module. Could not get it in any of the big book shops that seem to have everything except... well... books. So decided to venture into the Old City that abounds in second hand stuff. Got interesting responses from the vendors ..... from a straight "No" to "We had it, yesterday" (so what??) to "What is SAP ?" to "Do you want a book on Gynecology?"(dunno what prompted that one) to "SAP is no longer hot ... suggest you change your line" (WTF ....)

In fact got to check out some very interesting titles ...... "The Ultimate Sin" (surprising it was not what I thought it would be) ... "Expert's guide to thermodyanamics" (why wud an expert need a guide ?) ..."Susan's Family Portraits". In the last case it was the blurb that caught my attention - "A tale of wanton lust and forbidden desire", wonder how that is linked with Susan's family pics !!

In other words I did not get the book I wanted. :)
