Pune now has a new
'Landmark'! India's largest book and music retailer launched its first store on
Moledina Road (next to Dorabjees), Pune Camp on Thursday, December 14, 2006. Acclaimed
cartoonist and author R K Laxman graced the occasion by cutting the ribbon and
lighting the lamp at the store. Creator of the most well known cartoon character,
'The Common Man', who has been entertaining millions of Indian households across
the country, he also drew the caricature of this widely loved and admired immortal
being for the onlookers at the store. Awe-struck by the author's effortless sketching,
the crowd kept asking for more! Beginning December

of entertainment, making every visit a memorable experience. The opening of the
store will mark the beginning of celebrations and festivities, wherein the first
activity will be the launch of the book Fireproof by Raj Kamal Jha on Saturday,
