City Library – Chandrahas Choudhury’s Books, Kalkaji Library by The Delhi Walla - October 14, 2011October 15, 20112 A vanishing world. [Text and photos by Mayank Austen Soofi] One late evening The Delhi Walla knocked at the door of author Chandrahas Choudhury. In his 30s, Mr Choudhury lives on the second floor of a bungalow in Kalkaji, south Delhi. He shares his one-room apartment with “a couple of hundreds of books.” The room is sparse: a bed, a chair, a table, a lamp, a laptop, a fan and a wooden almirah. Everything is in order, with exceptions. I, Lalla: The Poems of Lal Ded, the translated works of a fourteenth-century Kashmiri mystic, is on the floor, along with the day’s The Indian Express. Two books are lying haphazardly on the bed: The Battle of Employment Guarantee, edited by Jean Dreze and Reetika
