Online shopping threatens Bookstores

Online shopping threatens Bookstores

Reading books is the most amazing activity. It gives you knowledge on various things and you can live thousands of lives through it. Bookstores are places for buying books. Apart from a library, this place is on the top of favourite places-list of a booklover.
Online shopping has become another platform for buying books, amongst many things. The present workaholic generation which has a problem of time shortage, really, loves this platform as it is less time-consuming and the delivery of bought items is prompt even if that item is not available near you. Online users have the benefit of choosing with ease due to various filtering techniques present in the online sites. These sites have all types of items in them which   are very useful for a busy person as he can buy whatever he needs from one platform rather than going to different   shops. It is also easy for a consumer to buy things that are not available in their area. The prices of products are cheap as compared to stores. These are some things which make online shopping so popular and are dimming the spirit of a bookstore. Now-a-days, people tend to do online purchasing, thereby, reducing the profit and business of bookstores and hence the rate of bookstores being closed is becoming high.
Bookstores are important places to socialise. You can talk you other people there and get suggestions on what to buy. Online shopping is making people addicted to it and hence, they do less physical activity leading to adverse health effects and dependency   will increase on online technology. One should think about how they will suffer in the long run if they promote such dependency.

Will Earth become a legend?

A big blue planet, lifeless and cold. It seems that nothing moves within it, when I view it from my telescopic window. Elders of our community tell us that this lifeless blue planet was called Earth. Lots of beings(living as well as non living) thrived on it. Human beings flourished and evolved on it. They used the natural resources present on the Earth to develop new technologies but human beings had a tendency to overuse those resources and then wanting more. This sense on unsatisfaction gradually led to depletion of the resources. Scientists and environmentalists persistently warned the human society but they didn't heed the warning. Some scientists and environmentalists started looking for a planet suitable for life.At last after continuous research they found a planet and started moving onto that planet. My grandparents were one of the people who agreed to go to that planet. After a year the Earth was destroyed due to floods, deforestation, volcanic eruption etc. like...

Pink Is For Girls And Blue Is For Boys, Why?

Now it sort of like a norm with everything pink customized for women and depicting feminity whereas blue and darker colours depicted masculinity.   Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I have written in this platform but I am grateful to all of you who have kept coming to this page and enjoying my world.  As I was deciding what to wear for my birthday in May I saw this pink dress which I had bought for Holi which I hadn’t worn because of the whole pandemic. I was still searching if I could find something else I could where instead of that pink dress when a thought came into my mind, Why am I not wearing pink? Since we are born somehow it is seen that if it’s a girl everything is pink and if it’s a boy everything is blue. Even for gender reveal parties and stuff this colour coordination is used. As the child grows up from birthday parties to clothes to room colours, everything is either pink or blue based on the gender. I guess me not liking pink was sort of a rebellion...
