I intend to visit a bookshop. That's a thought that has occupied my mind for the past couple of weeks, in much the same way some people have dreamed of movie theatres and others have salivated over memories of fast food. I am pretty sure not having access to pizza and fries has been good for my body, if not my soul, but I realised early on that not being able to touch books at random was starting to depress me.

We have an opportunity to right a few wrongs if those with the means try and work with the greater good in mind. This is harder than it sounds though if news trickling in from Delhi's Khan Market is an indication. According to reports, that swish corner of our nation's capital had to bid goodbye to a bookshop that had made a lot of people happy for decades. It was forced to do this not because customers had stopped visiting, but because its landlords had other plans.
