“Nokma & the Unfairy tales”, is a merger of fiction and reality. Author was one of the twenty odd students who were exchanged with a batch of same number, amongst two Navodaya Vidyalayas, as part of their migration policy to promote the national integration. The two states in this case were randomly picked as Himachal Pradesh and Meghalaya. The prodigies from different schools were thrown in a shared dormitory to yield symphony out of cacophony. There were stories told, retold, lived, and sometimes even relived. A teenager who himself lived and relived these stories for years, decides to write all, weaving them into a single plot.

Besides the storyline, it’s an attempt to understand the typical North Eastern culture, the tribal livelihoods, the social usages in the light of matriarchy and matrilineal set up. The problems of tribal people in border areas, the cross border scuffles, the demographic disorders and the insurgency in North East, and the consequent shift in the mental psyche of the inhabitants.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.?

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
