For all you book lovers out there, a trip to read a book by the beach in this heat might be a far-off dream. How about a literary conversation by the pool instead? Put your reading glasses on, and join The Float House Book Club in Mulund. This indoor pool, event and community space in the eastern suburb is open to all book lovers, aged eight and above, to be a part of engaging literary conversations and finding your own group of bibliophiles. The Float House, which hosts swim, aqua exercise and dive sessions, also has a studio and is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year.

The club has been started by young Tejal Ahuja, who also handles the front desk at the space. “The idea is to choose a book and meet every Sunday to discuss, analyse and dive into what we have read all week. We are happy to include children who read or co-read, accompanied by adults, and the session will be moderated to include them,” she says. Ahuja, a psychology graduate will also conduct a case study analysis and discussion of a character chosen by club members.
