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.

And while that might seem entirely impossible in a time when there’s a 30-second reel/tik tok video for everything imaginable and short-form content is all the rage, something that’s b
