Every week, I plan an Artist Date. It’s a concept devised by Julia Cameron, who in her book The Artist’s Way, asks you to setting aside about two hours a week to take your “inner artist” on a date. For me, that has always meant going to a bookstore, and then a cafe, and sometimes a movie.

When I entered the new cafe/bar/bookstore and reading room, The Library at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre last week, I found myself thinking, “Well, this just ticks all the boxes”. My artist date can now begin at the movie hall at the Jio World Plaza, and then I can just settle down at The Library for all my needs.
