The "Everyday" show-off thread !

What better way to spend a Satuday afternoon than getting roasted under Delhi's infernally hot December sun, surrounded by overpriced merchandise and even more overpriced food and drink?

Bought a few books since I had to justify the trip. C&H isn't cool anymore, but still.

These two are overpriced as compared to Amazon.in. Ended up paying ~150 extra for them, but wth, I was there.

Now this is supercool. Got it for free with the above purchases from HarperCollins stall. Each card back has a different illustration of an Christie book. Made up for the overpriced books. :cat:

Dunno why I bought this, I'm not the target demographic, but the creator was there and he seemed a really nice guy. Got it signed by him + the illustrator. Got a free keychain and a couple of free stickers.

This book I love. The illustrations are absolutely adorable. A steal at only Rs. 150. Got it signed by the author/illustrator.

And finally, got an print from one of my favorite movies to paste on my wardrobe.

It performs as advertised. Bought it especially when the Sony cp ad2 charger failed for me and Sony refused warranty. So thought WTH price is similar to qc 1.0 charger and eBay had refunded the cost for the Sony charger. :)
 
Finally got the parts for an upgrade from Kentsfield to Skylake!

Don't think it fits to be in everyday show off. No one buys a brand new pc every day.
 
Doh, these parts are pretty "everyday" (mainstream) I guess - no unlocked/overclocked fancy stuff - except maybe for the 950 Pro :D
