One of Gangtok and Sikkim's main attractions! #books

There is a place. #rachnabooks #gangtok #bookstore

While we lament a decline in reading for pleasure, it seems like very little is being done to reverse that trend.

Join us tomorrow for a literary discussion! Let's explore language, writing, folklore, and more. Everyone's welcome! #LiteraryLove #LitFest #sikkimliteraturefestival2025 #50yearsofstatehood Thanks to Rachna Books®

Aatreyee You should check out the books that this independent bookhouse called Rachana bookstore in Gangtok has published over the years. Prajwal Parajuly and many other authors owe their careers to this place.

Madhusree Goswami Absolutely! Raman Shrestha and his bookstore Rachna Books® have been doing a brilliant job of giving a home to new authors. They actually have a homestay above the bookstore for authors to come and write. Best place and people!

⁦Rachna Books®⁩, Gangtok.

We invite you to celebrate Sanjay Bista’s ‘This Place of Mud & Bone’, translated from the Nepali ‘मटाको घर’ by Anurag Basnet Anurag Basnet. They’ll be in conversation with Mona Chettri at Rachna Books on 5th June afternoon. See you! #rachnabooks #nepaliliterature #translation

As inspiring a story as it gets. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru…

Thank you, bsy !

Thank you CKL Would you believe it, the books were ordered at the exact same time by you and bsy We thought it must either be coordinated with both of you in the know, or it could have been destined that way - so unreal!

Over the last week we launched my translation of Sanjay Bista's This Place of Mud and Bone with Mona Chettri and Lekhnath Chhetri at Rachna Books® and in Kalimpong. Both events were brilliantly moderated, and had much learnings and inspiration for me.

Wow. So @Rachnabooks of Sikkim has just uploaded a video of my discussion with Pema Wangchuk on ol' #DespiteTheState. (As an aside, this was also the first physical discussion on DTS). Lots of chatter, as I see now, also about the writing process. youtube.com/watch?v=9ENrqr…

To all my Nepali-speaking friends, my dad M.S. Khan's new book Dui Disha is out now! You can grab a copy at Jainco and Rachna Books® in Gangtok. Happy Bhanu Jayanti! #Gangtok #newbook #nepali #nepalibooks

Putting this out there - if you've been toying with the idea of starting a small bookshop and need to brainstorm, I am available for a chat. India needs more bookshops.

Event alert / you are cordially invited #rachnabooks #poetry #event
