Hey! 💛
Shelf Respect started with a very simple idea, to sit together and read stories aloud.
No pressure. No pretence. Just people, stories, conversations, chai, silence, laughter, and literature. 🌿📚
We conducted our very first offline session in Mumbai on 19th June 2025, and since then, this little space has slowly grown into a warm community of readers, listeners, writers, actors, overthinkers, and curious human beings.
Sometimes we meet in parks.Sometimes online late at night.Sometimes with printouts. Sometimes with cracked phone screens and PDFs.
But every session somehow feels like coming back home.
We mainly read Hindi/Hindustani literature together. Stories, poems, plays, satire, love stories, partition literature, and everything in between.
If you’d like to read together, you’re welcome here. ✨
