Delhi Metro: gives you another reason to travel

Do you commute through Delhi Metro and love reading? If yes, then you will be excited to know that now you can read while you are on the wheels. The initiative is known as 'Books on the Delhi Metro,' is a non-profit project by Shruti Sharma and Tarun Chauhan.
The couple will drop off the book with the sticker 'Books on the Delhi Metro' and will post clues about the book location on their Instagram/ facebook or twitter account. Anyone who picks up the book will post with #booksonthedelhimetro to let know the location of the book and belonging.

The main motive of this initiative is to encourage reading among the commuters, who gets bored or spend their time scrolling through their mobile phone's screen.

Let us take you through the journey of some of the books that travelled in Delhi Metro!

Rajiv Chowk Station

 

Ghor is that which frightens, which leads to fear. But once an ascetic gains this knowledge that death is but an illusion, and through practice rids himself of it, then the inner energy pushes him onto that divine path, which through Shakti's grace leads to the Aghor form of Lord Shiv, the calmest, most natural, simple and welfare generating form of Shiv.This indeed is an account of the life of a rare Aghori practioner. #booksonthedelhimetro

It is prophesied that when sin reaches its pinnacle in kaliyuga, Kalki, the final avatar of Vishnu will descend upon earth to cleanse the world. A child whom many believe to be Kalki, has caused unprecedented doom, heralding the apocalypse. Will those who survive, overcome these odds and their own inner demons? Or will they succumb to the wrath of the wastelands? To find out the answer, search for the book on Delhi Metro. #booksonthedelhimetro @pepperscript
