Book Club on Delhi Streets

I saw this photograph on HT today, did not make much sense to me… Firstly, I would not spot any women reading a book, keeping it right in front of her face and still manage to walk without bumping into something especially in Delhi. The chances of seeing two women like that would be less [...]
