'A dollar put into a book and a book mastered
might change the whole course of a boy's life'

Crossword aims to be a point of cultural and social interaction,
where authors and poets hold court, where children are regaled,
where people gravitate to be informed, to be entertained, to be
enlightened.
Our stores are platforms for interactions between authors and
readers, forums for discussions on a wide variety of subjects
ranging from Indian writing in English to India's Nuclear Programme
to ERP to Child Sexual Abuse.
Among the numerous writers who have visited the store are Arundhati
Roy, Vikram Chandra, Vikram Seth, Kiran Nagarkar, Andrew Motion,
Michele Roberts, Sashi Tharoor, Shobha De, Charles Handy and Jack
Canfield. Promotional events include pictionary contests, quizzes,
slide-shows and the annual affair with Santa and his elves. Ian
Anderson of Jethro Tull came for a signing, so did Macho Man Randy
Savage, the WWF champion.
In our endeavour to inculcate the reading habit amongst children,
we have a weekly reading programme for children of various age
groups. There is no pre-condition or fee required to participate,
we would be delighted to have your children join us. To learn
more about the specific events at a Crossword store near you,
