Bookstore wins hearts for selling book to child who ran out of money

-

The introduction of online PDFs and digital audiobooks has failed to affect the love of bookstores among the public. Bibliophiles love to spend their leisure time turning the pages of their favourite hardcover or paperback. Apart from reading, there are several individuals having a hobby of adding their favourite books to their very-own special collection. Looking at people expressing their excitement for books, children unquestionably occupy the first row. Recently, a bookstore has been winning hearts across social media by fulfilling a wish of a kid to purchase his favourite Dragon Ball Super comic. The news was shared by a store named Walking Bookfairs on their official Twitter handle.


According to the post, the boy visited the store looking for one of his dearest Manga comics. While he was carrying Rs 400 in his pocket, the actual price of his sought-after copy was slightly higher. He certainly got heartbroken getting to know that the comic would cost him Rs 699.

In a heart-melting gesture, the bookstore did not let the kid leave empty-handed. They made his desire come true by selling the book for Rs 499. The boy, evidently happy to get the comic, smilingly posed for a photo with the book in his possession. The photograph was also attached to the Twitter post and the kid’s priceless reaction said it all.

The caption of the post explained, “A young reader walked in with ₹400 in his pocket, and was overjoyed to find manga books in the store. He was disappointed that the one he wanted was priced at Rs 699. His smile when we told him he could have it at Rs 400 made our day.”

The move by the bookstore touched the hearts of social media users. They hardly wasted any time to appreciate the effort since the post surfaced on the internet. A user acknowledged, “I am filled with joy after reading this bcoz these small gestures at your bookstore are the reason why it is my favourite in town.”


Another user shared, “Reminds me of a similar incident with my younger brother, a reminiscence of the good old days.”


A person praised the store by saying, “What a wonderful thing to do and his day really got made. I am smiling wide too.”


An individual predicted, “He will always remember this day when luck swung his way and he got a big discount.”


Here are some other reactions:

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
