In the anthology ACORNS, twenty former students of a boarding school share a part of their lives in the form of stories, anecdotes, tributes, and memoirs that they had once lived as the children of the residential school they grew up in. From remembrances of the food served in the hostel to pangs of first love, tales of ghostly encounters and memorable matches, the variety of stories tickle and tempt the reader to immerse in a wonderful world of nostalgia that chronicles what were for many, the best years of their life.Leaf through the book to discover pure emotions, surreal experiences, enthralling anecdotes, and grateful nostalgia, from people who are the ‘Children of Oak Grove’.---Oak Grove School is a residential public school, owned and run by the Indian Railways. It perches upon the many hills that dot the old road trek from Dehradun to Mussoorie, in a tiny stop called Jharipani. Its campus covers 256 acres (1.04 sq. km.) of beautiful hills, with playgrounds, a valley and buildings, situated amidst local flora and fauna with groves of lush oak trees and troops of inquisitive langurs.---Authors:Pat Corbett, Vipin Sehgal, Raghu Menon, Anurag Sinha, Manoj Panikkar, Sweta Srivastava Vikram, Amit Suri, Gary Senger, Mangu Srinivas, Nitin Dubey, Kanishka Mallick, Sudip Bajpai, Vikas Chandra, Raveesh Gupta, Nikhil Kumar, Tabish Nawaz, Priyanka Pandey, Shrikant Avi, Vani Raj, Prabhat Ranjan

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.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. 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. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
