On this bright day, the 40th Edition of CubbonReads was welcomed by the majestic trees of the park. Readers sought refuge in their cool shade, embarking on a lively weekend morning 🌤️. Hundreds gathered with vibrant mats, creating a reading haven amidst scattered petals🍂.

Here was our 39th Cubbon Reads, a serene October morning at Cubbon Park 🌳, soft soil, minty air, pale yellow butterflies 🦋, cherished readers on sheets, under tree trunks, and on grass 🌿. Newcomers shared about feeling a sense of belongingness in our silent reading initiative

Sikkim has adopted the concept of Reads in all its schools, thanks to the singular efforts of Yoga Dolma, the IAS officer and the DC of Gyalshing district, who visited us in Bengaluru after learning about Cubbon Reads.

So much power government officials have to effect change! 😍

The 38th edition of CubbonReads unfolded beneath a beautiful pastel sky.
Colourful flowers blanketed us and made the park feel magical and lovely.🌸🌼
Amidst this tranquility, stray dogs found comfort on our mats and curled up beside us for their naps. ☀️

The 37th CubbonReads welcomed a picturesque morning after rain, with chirping birds and the sun🌞. Cubbon Park, with its enchanting autumn charm, offers space to everyone for picnics and reading🤗. Book lovers find their haven here, escaping into their tales, creating magic 📚✨.

36th CubbonReads : A harmonious day of reading, nature, and community. Children's adventures, blooming flowers, and the rustling leaves created a joyful symphony. Encouraging citizen-led communities, let's preserve our reading oasis. Embrace literature's bond with nature. 📚🌼

The magic of words met the serenity of nature at our 35th edition. The park, in its golden glow, came alive with a heartwarming sight for our readers🌿. In the diverse tapestry of book lovers, we welcomed numerous solo readers who discovered the beauty of solitude in our midst ✨

At Cubbon Reads, books cover the evergreen grass of Cubbon Park like flowers in spring – offering a radically relaxing distinction to the experience the city offers on weekdays.

An undeniably fulfilling way to spend the first half of a Saturday.

The 34th edition of CubbonReads began slowly but quickly drew hundreds of readers 😇. With numerous solo readers, parents, and pet owners, Cubbon Park was a heartwarming sight to behold, alongside fluttering butterflies🦋. We continue the tradition of the color-coded book stack📚

Our first International feature came a few days ago in South China Morning Post ✍🏼 by Anita Rao Kashi. It was such a delight talking to her on her maiden visit to Cubbon Reads as an attendee. Thank you for sharing your experience and our journey through this piece: scmp.com/lifestyle/trav…

“Reading in a park while sitting—mostly lying—on the grass allows me to rejoice and reflect upon not just the book I’m reading but also nature,” Farakh Nargis, an actor who regularly attends Cubbon Reads, told us.

The 18th edition, like every edition, came as a much needed pause after a hectic week. But a pause which ends with enthusiastic readers staying a little longer to exchange notes with other readers. Conversations that are made sweeter by the preceding silent co-reading.

Our founders document the travails of the chapter curators wrt the unsaid rule of BBMP parks: sitting on the grass isn't allowed. By talking to administrators, horticulturists & policy makers, they ask: what use is a public space if not for public use? caravanmagazine.in/communities/be…

Late post for our 33rd edition. Someone celebrated their birthday morning, Jain Univ professors got students from other states here as part of city darshan, more of us found branches to lean on and read, and a failed colour coding experiment 😅 — to be planned better next time 😋

I was at Lodhi Reads today. Reopened 'Lonely City', feeling quite the opposite of loneliness.

At Lodhi, you find your patch of grass, your spot under the sky and soon enough, a space where you can just be.

The 14th edition of CubbonPaints took place concurrently with Cubbon Reads . Today, we witnessed an influx of new artists exploring a wide range of paint mediums, including acrylics, embroidery, clay pot decoration, and digital art🎨🍃📓✏️

At the 32nd edition, the skies turned cloudy one second, sunny next & drizzly right after. Besides the adults, lots of kids and 🐶 were seen.
It’s also been an exciting moment for the Cubbon Knits community finding more of its tribe from amongst the readers. So, next week, maybe?
