Literature book shops near Lanka, Varanasi (within 10 km)?

​

Hi everyone,

I'm an M.A. English student at BHU and I'm looking for bookshops near Lanka (within about 10 km) where I can get English literature books at reasonable prices.

I'm currently looking for M.H. Abrams' A Glossary of Literary Terms, along with other books useful for UGC NET/JRF English, literary criticism, theory, and MA English.

I'm fine with new, second-hand, or old books if they're in good condition.

Could you suggest some reliable bookshops or areas where I should look? If you know shops that offer good student discounts, please mention those too.

Thanks in advance!

Which is the best 125cc commuter in India for long-term ownership? Raider vs SP125 vs Pulsar vs Xtreme 125R

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a bike for my brother and have shortlisted these options:

​

TVS Raider 125

Honda SP125

Bajaj Pulsar 125 / Pulsar 150

Hero Xtreme 125R

​

I'm looking for a bike that balances practicality with good looks. My priorities are:

​

✅ Good real-world mileage

✅ Stylish but classy ("gentleman" look, not overly sporty or flashy)

✅ Comfortable for both rider and pillion

✅ Low maintenance and affordable spare parts

✅ Reliable engine for 8–10+ years of ownership

✅ Easily available and dependable service centres

✅ Good build quality with minimal recurring issues

​

If you own or have ridden any of these bikes:

​

Which one would you choose and why?

​

Any common problems or deal-breakers?

​

How has the reliability been after 20,000–50,000+ km?

Recommend a perfume for my brother.

​

I want to gift a perfume to my brother for his birthday and my budget is around ₹400–700. I can stretch a little if there's a significantly better option, but I'd prefer to stay within that range.

He's 22–25 years old and lives in a hot Indian climate. I'm looking for something that:

\- Has good longevity, especially on clothes

\- Is noticeable without being overpowering

\- Works for both college and formal occasions

\- Smells fresh, clean, and masculine

\- Doesn't have that overly sweet or headache-inducing smell

He has used Wild Stone Ultra Sensual before and liked it, but found the longevity quite poor....

Please suggest perfumes you've personally used. I'd appreciate honest feedback on real-world performance rather than marketing claims.

I have searched for the perfumes online but not getting a good one

Also, at what budget do you think there's a noticeable jump in quality and longevity?

Thanks!
