What Makes It Awesome?

Everyone has many a time passed it with a short gaze. Some have also browsed the books while waiting for their train. The shelves are no less than a bookstore that you would find in the markets of Delhi, filled with the latest books and give that booki-ish warmth.

Run by Sarva Seva Sangh Prakashan, Varanasi, this Sarvodya Sahitya Bhandar has been around for a while. From every Paulo Coelho books to that of Dalrymple and Rushdie, the bookstore doesn't shy about bringing latest and good stuff to the store. What makes every place special is the person who owns it or runs it. The shopkeeper there, an encyclopedia of travelling around the country with a shoestring budget is a wonderful host. Stand there and talk to him and you won't realise how the time passes.

A cup of chai and a room full of books surrounded by the railway aura gives the place a certain zing to it. Don't believe me? Next time when you board a train from Delhi Junction, do not miss out on this bookstore.

How Much Did It Cost?

Under ₹500
