With the show of hands, tell me how many of you like your coffee on the go and your books off the shelf? Although now that I think about it, let's put a pin on the coffee part for now and talk about books, shall we? I am not the one to read and tell, but life seems pretty wonderful in books.
While reading on tablets or phone is all cool and convenient but half the essence of those well-written stories lies in the physical being of that very page.
And what better place to experience the literary stimulation of thoughts and wisdom than in quaint little bookstores in most busy places in our city? However, with the current situation - it's way risky to go looking for your new escapade on your own.
Lucky for you, these local bookstores in Delhi NCR are bringing your picks to you. Here are 8 bookstores in Delhi delivering happiness.
