Pleasure in Lidder Valley

By Syed Salman “Gar firdous bar-ruhe zamin ast, Hamin asto hamin ast“. Perhaps because of the fame of Himalayas and the love for trekking, Pahalgam has always been, to me, a strenuous grill. It is one of those places you really should visit with a backpack,and go with the firm intention of getting some good healthy exercise, trudging uphill and down dale. But then, Pahalgam is also one of the…

Kaihalulu Red Sand Beach, Hiking area in Hana, Maui, Hawaii: Awesome beach area. Few people, and it’s probably due to the trail. If it rains it gets muddy.  It looks like a place never touched by human being and time.

By the way, if you're ever struggling to find inspiration for a Zelda story, go outside

Literally; go to any place close by where you can hike (if the weather is suitable) and just go on a hike (if you're able to of course)

barnes and noble has been raising the prices of everything and further pushing for their premium membership option (which they raised the price of by 60 percent this year!) and then when they have big sales events, they're less than what they used to be.

last year at this time you could get one of their leather-bound book annex tomes for $12.50 (without a member discount) because of the 50 percent off all hardcover sales. but they raised the price of those tomes from 25 bucks to 30, and they decreased the sale from 50 percent off all hardcovers to 1/3rd off. so that same book that was $12.50 at last year's end-of-year sale is now 20 bucks. and that's supposed to be savings enough to induce me to walk into one of their stores this week?

i'm sorry but b&n has just gotten so greedy, even though their business has only been doing better and better in previous years. they do not have to be raising prices like they have been, and they can damn well afford to have the same savings events they used to. if you went to one of those hardcover sales a year or two ago, even if you lived in a less populated area like i do, you had never seen a b&n so busy in your life. things were flying off the shelves. they WERE making bank.

and as a company they've only been growing and growing (as much as the publishing industry has been, in recent years). but there are so many other ways to buy books. CHEAPER ways to buy books. MORE SUSTAINABLE ways to buy books. and since books and booksellers are doing really well right now, i don't see why barnes and noble is getting so greedy when they don't have to be. i dont like new shiny books that much. people buy books for the content, ultimately. sometimes we as consumers might make the choice that a new shiny book is worth paying a bit more for, but not that much. barnes and noble has just been demanding more and more of their customers' money for less and less benefit.
