Crossword Events

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.
