Bookmarked

Get READy, macha. BookMarked is your page-turning prelude to South Side Story! Meet literary legends and experience an evening of stories, voices, and languages that shaped the South. Brought to you by Oxford Bookstore X South Side Story, this lit meet promises to be nothing short of verbose and vibrant!

This time at South Side Story, we’re honoured to host the iconic Dr. Shashi Tharoor — wordsmith, statesman, and one of India’s most compelling literary voices.

Catch him live in conversation, where his trademark wit and eloquence take center stage against the warm, book-lined backdrop of Oxford Bookstore, Connaught Place. Immerse yourself in a literary space curated with books - stories that spark thought, challenge norms, and celebrate the power of language.

Whether you're a bibliophile or just Tharoor-curious, this is your chapter to join.

See you on the 12th of August, 6:30 PM.

And this is just the beginning. Continue your journey at the main two-day South Side Story fest, where our bookstore installation offers a handpicked collection of works from iconic authors and fresh voices alike.

Discover stories that resonate, ideas that inspire, and books that belong on your shelf — all curated specially for South Side Story.

Thank you to everyone who RSVP'd!
