Chp 693. Game Bundle of Joy


Christmas and New Year season, where different stores are running various discounts and offers everywhere. That shopping frenzied moment every woman is looking forward to.

All my female friends and cousins are talking about the amount of bargain they managed to get at Sephora, H&M, Maybelline, Everlane etc and even compared all the different products they had bought and shrieked in unison. *sigh* women :P

And I'm always met by the usual, "Oh you men don't know how to bargain or get a good offer. You don't understand the value of discounts or End-Of-Season sales."

Well, for once, I would like to prove all my female friends and relatives wrong! (OMG Kima, what the hell are you doing!? You want to… die?)

So in my previous post "Comic Bundle of Joy" I talked about how I got a good deal on Archie comics through HumbleBundle. Well, in this post I would like to tell you about the deals I got during this year 2017 on games at HumbleBundle.

Be prepared to be amazed :P

Below are the seven game bundles I have purchased this year, each costing $1. I have also mentioned their actual costs if the games are purchased individually. Enjoy…



12th April 2017
Humble Interactive Bundle - $1



TOTAL COST OF GAMES: ₹ 2192



31st May 2017
Humble GameOn Bundle - $1


Worms Clan Wars - ₹ 619

Her Story - ₹ 299

TOTAL COST OF GAMES: ₹ 1287



25th July 2017

Wurm Unlimited - ₹ 1859

TOTAL COST OF GAMES: ₹ 4287



10th November 2017
Humble Jumbo Bundle 10 - $1



TOTAL COST OF GAMES: ₹ 2093





Now let us calculate the overall discount shall we? :P

GRAND TOTAL COST OF GAMES I BOUGHT FROM HB THIS YEAR: ₹ 18,652/-

ACTUALLY SPENT: 7 times $1 = ₹ 448

That's a whopping 97% DISCOUNT and savings of ₹ 18,204/- yooooo!

And I'm not even calculating the free games I received for being a loyal customer. If I take those into consideration as well, let's see, the games I have received for free this year are:

Tropico 4 - ₹ 479

That brings up the total cost of games I got from HumbleBundle this year at ₹ 22,619/- giving me a 98% discount with savings of ₹ 22,171/-

See, can any of your discounts at ZARA or Hush Puppies or any other place else beat that? It's not that we men cannot bargain, we just decide to go for discounts on stuff that really matters to us. Like games :P

So unless you managed to buy something you really love at a 98% discount, the next time, think twice before approaching the Master of discounted buyer :D :P :P

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone. Cheers!

Chp 692. Bloggers at HillTalk 2017


One of the events I've always wanted to attend back home is the Literary Meet my friends keep organizing now and then, where notable writers and poets from the North East and other parts of India meet up to share their latest writings and socialize with each other.

Having no literature background, I've always held these people in the highest regard, and many of them had been my inspiration to write, however mediocre my blog posts may be. And it felt enlightening to befriend them and share stories and experiences on various topics ranging from politics to sports and culture to human rights. Just sitting down among the spectators in a dark corner inconspicuously and listening to them read out what they have written had always been a long-time dream of mine.

Recently, such an event took place in Aizawl. Aptly named "HillTalk", this event was mainly convened by Mona Zote, with assistance from Cherrie Lalteii, Zualteii Poonte and Dawngi Chawngthu. I felt a bit elevated because these were people I have crossed paths with before, sometimes at my blog and sometimes at other Mizo online social platforms. My four idols.

The event had many participants, all prominent poets and writers who flew in for the occasion. And what made this event even more significant for me was that, five of my friends from our cozy little "Mizo Bloggers WhatsApp group" were attending the event, showcasing their poems and chefs-d'oeuvre!


Jacqueline, Chased, Sanga Says, Cherrie and BD from our group all rocked the show that day. Kukui was another friend I was expecting to be there, but unfortunately she was visiting her in-laws at Nagpur. When you know your dear friends are meeting up for an important event, you just automatically feel so connected to that occasion too.

Now I know I suck at poetry, but nevertheless I love reading poems, especially the ones that my friends pen on their blogs or Facebook walls. Their mastery over words and emotions knows no bounds, whereas if you ask me to write a poem, I usually start with, "There once was a cow…" irrespective of whether the theme is about love or death.

I stumbled across some of their photos on Cherrie aka MizDayDreamBeliever's Facebook album. Some of my friends' poses and expressions were quite funny, perfectly captured at really odd moments. So, in the true spirit of our Blogger's WhatsApp group where we pull each other's legs all the time, here is me with a few memes. Enjoy :)







Like I said earlier, Kukui didn't go for the event so she's not in any of this, but here is a meme blog post  just dedicated to her, do check it out if you haven't seen it yet. :D :P

Overall, they are an amazing bunch of friends, and here's to wishing them more fame and success in their literary endeavours in the coming seasons. Cheers for now everyone…
