As I roamed through the isles of this immensely stocked up bookstore in Bangalore, a song kept playing in my mind when I saw this scene. This old haunting Hindi number, from the 1958 classic Howrah Bridge. The first two lines of the song are…

Aaiye meharabaan, baithhie jaanejaan
(Come in, oh generous one, please take a seat beloved)

Shauk se lijiye ji ishq ke imtihaan
(Feel free to test the love I have for you)

Imagine sitting in the middle of so many fascinating stories, teasing you to come savor the goodness! So, what did you read today?
