This is where Kipling jostles for space with piping hot Kulhad Chai and gooey homemade brownies provide a fitting accompaniment to Doyle.Pagdandi is a concept Book Cafe, promoting conscious and alternate lifestyle choices. The store provides multiple services under one roof. There is a wide collection of books with a focus on independent publishers, for reading, rental and purchase in a Café environment. Organic Tea, Bio-diversity friendly Coffee, Wholesome Sandwiches and Fresh Juices are served along with piping hot fresh Adrak Chai and tantalizing Homemade Cakes.

Creative events in the nature of Book Readings, Storytelling, Music Jam's, Art & Craft Workshops, Poetry sessions, Theatre workshops and Group Discussions on Social & Scientific issues make it a lively hub to bring the community together leading to an exchange of thoughts and ideas.The idea is to create an interactive, creative and open space where one can relax and ideate over the multiple facets of life yet unexplored, be encouraged to utilize the maximum individual potential.
