From the room
Where Bengaluru's writers gather.
A focused room for fiction., journals., essays., poetry., blogs., newsletters., research., your next draft.
For the newsletter you keep postponing, the essay that needs one more pass, the novel in your drawer.
A standing time and place to write.
The Writers’ Room is a recurring, collaborative space for writers in Bengaluru. Once a month, we meet for quiet co-working, each of us carrying our own writing tools, to write together, share work, and build the kind of steady community that makes the writing life less lonely.

by Sadhana DasDumbledore was right when he said: ‘Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.’ I smile when I see it’s not raining and can commute to my destination without getting soggy. Or, grateful that I didn’t trip of the stairs cause my shoe laces were undone.

by Aditya OberaiThis blog covers my reflections on legacy, sparked by astronaut Christina Koch saying she hoped people would forget all about the Artemis II mission. I explore how my view of legacy shifted from something I felt pressure to build into something I now see as the consequence of pursuing a purpose rather than the goal itself, using examples like Newton's Principia and Steve Wozniak's Apple computers. Drawing on Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus, I argue that even though the universe won't preserve our names and our footsteps will fade from the sand, the act of pushing forward with purpose is what makes life a glorious burden worth carrying.
