Readers Meet: Indore


What goes in your head after reading a novel, a short story, a poem? If your answer is ‘a lot’, I’m sure you’ll like to spill that lot. We feel the same way. Thoughts are just that: thoughts; it is only when they are vocalized do they become ideas.

We had been brewing up this read meet for quite some time now, hoping to meet other misfits, who read more than just bestsellers and want to yak about them too. But as I said, thoughts are no use till they remain in our heads. So here is the first (of a series, I hope) read meet in Indore. The basic idea is to get together a group people who pride themselves in doing more than just reading a book. It is not a come one come all invitation.

We’d like you to send us a 250 word write-up about why you’d like to come for a read meet and your expectations from it. Also include the titles of some books you have read and the genre that interests you. The meet is planned on the coming Sunday (27th of April) so send those write-ups fast. We’ll get back to all of you with the agenda as soon as your write-up has been received. Please direct all your correspondence to: indorereaders@gmail.com
