I was born and brought up in Delhi. And now, I’m making a career in Mumbai. I can't help but constantly marvel at how different the two cities are. While Delhi scores top marks on infrastructure and accessibility, it misses out on the spirit of Mumbai, seen in the heart and soul of every Mumbaikar. I mean, I love Delhi, but after coming to Mumbai, I just wish Delhi had a few of these awesome things as well! :)
So this one’s a personal favourite. I wouldn’t really say that Delhi is bereft of Comic culture, seeing as there’s a Comic Con in the city almost every year, but this is something else. This quirky comic book café is located in the folds of Versova and you can acutually spend an entire day there, just leafing through your favourite comic books. Full marks to Mumbai for allowing such spaces to thrive.
While Hauz Khas Village and a few other places in Delhi are close, but we need places like The Laughter Canvas and other venues for art and culture to truly thrive beyond the stiff upper lip art gallery community.
