McLeodganj’s Illiterati Café is shutting down

Nestled in a hard-to-find nook on a steep lane away from the main roads of Mcleodganj is the Illiterati Café.

Some spend hours perusing the books that adorn the floor-to-ceiling shelves and sit pretty on wooden tables. This abundance of reading material is a reminder of its humble beginnings as a bookstore café. “Our elder b

Easy on the pocket

Little Scout in the novel, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee, had reflected upon her love for reading in a manner quite relatable to most avid readers today. ‘Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing’, she had said. Indeed, reading is one addiction one would do nothing but benefit from, and in the world of corporate sharks capitalising on the wave of reading, small-scale, individually-owned stores and roadside book bandis have come to the

6 Reasons Why Podcasts Are Trending Around The World

If there’s one complaint that none of us will be making any time soon, it’s not having enough content to consume.

It's not a bed of roses

A tiny soul makes her way through a bustling 3 pm crowd on Brigade Road, her right hand grasping her little brother’s left hand and her left hand carefully cradling a bunch of roses. She scans the crowd for potential customers as the cries of her mother and three-month-old baby sister echo in her ears.
