#Covid claimed my dear friend Mr Shanbagh of my favourite Premier Bookshop!😔
This was a rare occasion when I got him to pose outside his den. All good things must come to an end and so did this! Sigh!
May you find yourself in a paradise of books, sir!
Atma Shanti 🙏

You could walk into his bookshop at any time and ask him for any title. He would go around the book walls he built and fish it out for you with a smile. Only he knew what books were where in that mind-boggling layout inside his shop. One could only marvel at his wide knowledge!
Across the road to his shop was a little hole in the wall where Coffee Board sold coffee powder and some freshly brewed coffee. 10 ₹ a cup.
I've spent countless afternoons with Shanbagh sipping coffee and discussing books.
A charming episode of old Bangalore has ended.😔

Another friend sent me this lovely image. Even after he shut his shop, Shanbagh kept in touch with so many old friends and regular customers. He will be sorely missed!
