This is Not a Library
Written by Alia As the end of November rears its head, I find myself staring desperately at the computer screen, the phrase blog, blog, blog, blog echoing dimly in the recesses of my skull. Because what does one write about, really? It’s not that there’s nothing to write about- but that too much of significance […]
Romance books
Written by Deepali As the month of November comes to an end, I am trying to read as many books as I can, as the theme for this month is ‘Romance’ and as a die-hard romantic, I always make the time to read a love story. I picked up two books consecutively from the Shelf […]
Haiku Writing
Written by Shruti I joined Bookworm expecting to learn some things, but I never thought I will learn so many things. Everyday in Bookworm is a new experience for me and a new learning for me.

Theatre on the Beach
The sea shore is about 3 kms from Bookworm. We drive past everyday, sometimes more than twice a day and have not explored the space for what it can do to our spirit and body. Miramar Beach from Bookworm’s perspective has been left to the bus loads of tourists who make a bee line for […]

The Upside Down Bookworm
Perhaps, all library spaces get sectioned and organised into genres/ categories/ age groups/ quiet and active zones and what not. Bookworm has been no different, in that, through out time, given the space available we have played around with organisation and turned upside down, right side up and down again. We had another topsy turvy […]
