So, Buy Books India had the flash-in-the-pan moment recently. The occasion was to celebrate our relationship with books, the platform was Twitter and the medium was our favourite handle, @buybooksindia. The whole point was to check up on the enthusiasm of the booklovers our BBI handle has got. And the good news is that the contest was quite a success.

Let me throw some light on the contest first. The official hashtag was #MyFirst. It talked about all the first moments involving your favourite books.

Here are few examples of our conversations and I must say the replies look really interesting.

Even Advaita Kala couldn’t resist replying here.

@buybooksindia I cant remember….:) But memorable were the Secret Seven series…:)

Surely a legend she was.

@buybooksindia That will be ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’. Loved the entry of this young diarist. #MyFirst
