Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.

Every book in our library has been thoughtfully handpicked and curated by our founding team. Recently, a letter was posted on our intranet addressing the students, announcing a special Teacher's Day giveaway, where these carefully selected books were gifted to students.

Remember back in July when you all shared your reading wish lists? Well, a couple of weekends ago, Ms. Neha and I visited Blossom's Book House in Bangalore. We carefully selected a curated collection of books just for you, and they’ve now arrived at school. Right now, as you read this, there’s a box filled with these incredible books, waiting to be discovered.

But before that, how many of you know Ollivander's, the wand shop where Harry Potter got his first wand? Blossom’s Book House feels just like that—a place straight out of a storybook. It’s absolutely magical. No matter the day, the store is always buzzing with people of all ages, exploring the world of books. You’ll see toddlers eagerly asking their parents, “Can I please get this book?” or “Look, Mumma, this one has 1001 stories!” The joy on their faces when they get to choose even one extra book is heartwarming, transporting you to another world. You’ll also find bookworms sitting right in the middle of the aisles, already immersed in their next great read.

But what makes Blossom’s Book House truly special is its unique collection of old and rare books, not just from India but from around the globe. Some of the books in the box might be second-hand treasures, donated by other book lovers. You might come across limited editions or books with handwritten notes from previous readers, sharing thoughts and insights they found meaningful. These are books to be cherished. Read as many as you can, for they open doors to worlds you never knew existed.

If you ever find yourself in Bangalore, we’d be thrilled to introduce you to this magical place. In the meantime, if you’re curious about Blossom’s Book House, you can learn more about it here. And if there’s a specific book you’d like to read, let us know—perhaps it will be in the next box we send!


Happy Reading,
Yashasvi
