One of India's and Madras's most iconic bookstores, Higginbothams has been around since 1844. I had to buy my first Perumal Murugan books from here. I also had picked up Ponniyin Selvan I but then they told me either I buy all five or none. A Crossword would have sold me one after I had told them that I couldn't carry five in a flight but akka and anna at the sales counter here were adamant in Tamil and English. Well, what's a visit to the bookstore without a story.
