The Jaipur Literature Fest (JLF), unarguably one of the biggest of its kind in the world, kicks off today. Readers, writers, journalists and book enthusiasts from India and different parts of the world will be in attendance, and with good reason.
Demonetisation, what’s that?
If you think demonetisation was in any way going to dampen people’s enthusiasm surrounding JLF, you can put all your fears to rest. All you have to do is install Freecharge on your phone and you are all set. So if you were giving this festival a miss due to ‘cash’ issues, you still have time to plan as it is on till 23 January. And for those of you already there, just Freecharge and continue to soak in the delights of the festival.
Ten seconds is all you need
You can attend your favourite sessions, interact with your favourite authors and buy the books you want without having to worry about cash hassles.
Hungry and want to grab a bite? Just Freecharge! Fancy some exciting merchandise and want to own it? Just Freecharge! And the best part is that you can do all of this in less than 10 seconds. Guess you wouldn’t have to worry about missing sessions or clicking that all-important selfie without your favourite author after all.
Cashbacks, goodies and more
The advantages of going cashless don’t stop here. You can also enjoy a maximum of 6 cashback offers upto Rs 50 on your Freecharge transactions. If you spot a Freecharge booth, don’t just walk past it. The booth has a backdrop of the iconic Hawa Mahal. You can click a picture there, tweet it and stand a chance to win exciting gifts. There are goodie bags too for those who make 8 transactions with Freecharge during the course of the festival.
Beyond the festival
If you go to Jaipur and do not buy some of the ethnic stuff the city has to offer, you are sure to be laughed at, and rightly so. So if you have some free time on hand, you must head to some of the legacy stores in the city and pick up something that excites you. After all, who doesn’t like to carry back material memories.
Freecharge has tied up with stores such as Phool Chand Shyam Sunder Lashkari, Chavi Jewellers, A P Bangles, Art Café, Jingle Cards and Sarthak Creations. From jewellery to perfumes to home furnishing to books, you name them and you have them. Just walk into a store of your choice, pick what you want to buy, Freecharge and bingo.
Now without wasting any more time, fish out your phone from your pocket, download Freecharge and enjoy a cashless experience at JLF. And if you already have Freecharge, well then, jump in.
