Three must-reads from Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas-Sparks

Nicholas Charles Sparks is a critically acclaimed American novelist and screenwriter. He has published 16 novels built around the themes of death, cancer, pirates and love. Three of his bestselling novels are discussed here:

1. Dear John:  The story revolves around the relationship between a rebel son and his father, and two quite differently raised people who struggle for their love against geographical distance between them. The story starts by explaining John Tyree’s childhood in Wilmington, North Carolina. He was raised by a single dad with Asperger’s Syndrome. He struggles to gain his father’s affection and did reckless things to do so. His life has no direction until he joins U.S. Armed Forces. He struggles when he comes home on leave, but falls in love with a girl named Savannah there. After September 11 attacks, he must ultimately decide between re-enlisting in the army and returning home to be with her, but she ends up being in love and married to someone else.

Dear John

2. The Last Song:  Seventeen year old Ronnie Miller’s life was turned upside down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father… until her mother decides for everyone’s best interest that she’d spend the summer in Wilmington with her father, Steve. Steve is living a quite life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms that demonstrates how deeply felt relationships can break our hearts and, heal them.

The Last Song

3.A Walk to Remember:  Every April, when the wind blows from the sea and mingle with the scent of lilacs, Landon Carter remembers his last year at Beaufort high. Immensely popular, Landon never quite thought of Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town’s Baptist minister. A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her school books, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. No boy ever asked her out. Then a twist of fate made her Landon’s partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter’s life would never be the same. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of human heart and led him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood.

Redefine Your learning experience!

B.A.G.S

“To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries.”

-A C Grayling, Financial Times

Reading. Activity. Fun.  Can you imagine how integrating these three domains could stimulate the human mind and body?
With the motive of enhancing and making your child’s reading and learning routine more enjoyable and productive, we proudly introduce you to B.A.G.S, a one-of-its-kind reading cum activity centre, to galvanise the education and fun quotients and redefine the learning experience!

B.A.G.S aims to create a model where “knowing” and “doing” are integrated.
One must have experienced many a times how engaging in a practical activity helps one grasp much more effectively than the traditional reading methods.
This ideology will trigger and improve sharing of knowledge, sharing of thoughts, discussing ideas and participation in skill-enhancing activities.

Our focus is also to inculcate and reinforce the quintessential habit of reading into the young minds, which is of supreme importance in today’s world where there are innumerable sources of distraction.

Our emphasis also lies on the art of communication and group activity. Healthy interaction with peers and sharing of thoughts lays a strong foundation to a better social life and also makes one receptive to the ideas and opinions of others, ultimately enhancing your intellectual, emotional and social capital.

Books, Activities & Games Store- an Unique Concept Store in Town!

Jaipur’s biggest Family Library and its first Hobby ideas Store- B.A.G Library & Store is  a friendly store for families to come, borrow books; indulge their children and themselves in a choice of creative hobbies together with lots of fun.  

BAGS is certainly making a statement because of its unique concept in the Pink city.  I (Jayesh Shah) and my wife Subhadra Shah (owners) realized that families and children in Jaipur were missing out an opportunity to visit “Family Friendly Libraries and Hobby Centers”.

It is with the idea to fill this gap, we decided to create a family friendly store, where people engage themselves creatively in hobbies of their choice.

Our store is divided into three segments- book library, toy library & hobby ideas!

Book Library

Our Library section at  has over 5000 books to choose from. The store has all kinds of books from best sellers, fiction, kid adventure, and comics to gossip magazines. Our staff is trained to guide you  choose a book if required  and give their suggestions on titles, reviews and latest arrivals based on your interests.

We have dedicated a special corner with a special bookcase, table and chairs for kids to sit and read their favaourite books.

Toy Library

Here is a wonderful world of educational toys & games  at B.A.G.S . The wide range of educational and fun toys is pretty expensive to buy them all, so here at B.A.G.S we buy & you enjoy.  

Toy library will help your kid  enhance  a  new  world  of   his\her   dreams.The library offers many benefits to children, and one that is perhaps not obvious is the opportunity it provides for children to learn how to make decisions. We have over 500 toys to choose from.

B.A.G.S cares not only for likings of the little ones but also makes sure that toys are spic and clean, safe and sound and the brands we offer are of international repute.

Hobby Idea Section    

Brand of Pidlite industries Ltd, BAGS has the first Hobby idea store in Rajasthan. A fun place where the children and adults alike are drawn away from the aura of computers, mobile phones and other gizmos and indulge themselves creatively. The HOBBY IDEAS section  has over 1000 “ Do-it-Yourself ” hobby kits and hobby materials for various hobbies you and your children alike could pursue under the guidance of trained instructors.

We also conduct workshops and demonstrations to fine tune your art.

Its been a joyful and exciting journey creating and putting the concept of B.A.G LIBRARY & STORE  together.  We look forward to your joining us in the next leg where the fun actually begins.
