Those books shops on the sidewalks around Fountain are still there! it just wouldn’t be fountain without those books. Those guys are well read and know everything about books. Was my favorite haunt in the college days!

Are you referring to the “Strand Book Stall” on PM Road? It is still there and yes, they still have their annual exhibitions in January when everything is 50% off! I was just there about two weeks ago! Still going strong!

et me know the next time you are going and I will give you clear directions; and also the nearby restaurant “Apoorva,” for the best fish dishes! :-)

There is something about Colaba, Nariman Point, Fort that is just irreplaceable! You remember the book shops on the footpath to Flora Fountain? I have always missed them after that – they were a landmark. I would also like to know whether Fort Book Store – opposite GPO is still there. I don’t know the route exactly because I have always taken stuff during their exhibitions, but would like to know the route for my next visit – if you know of them! Oh! I am sure you do!

THank you for sharing your experience – sorry to say, it is a very depressing environment; How can students be inspired to “learn” in this setting!

Most of our schools are very poor and we try to make do with what we have; and I do say; the students seem to enjoy themselves “learning”.

My goal at the Schools is to bring educational opportunities to more needy students, particularly girls! and I do this is small steps, 1 girl at a time!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts; it inspires me to continue doing this work.

Best
