This week, Mumbai’s literary scene is turning the spotlight on women with their stories, style, and unapologetic self-expression with two unmissable events across Crossword!
Meet Shalini Passi at Crossword Book-A-Thon. As part of the Crossword Book-A-Thon at Phoenix Marketcity, on 7th March, 2026, at 3 P.M. onwards, step into a world of elegance, individuality, and unapologetic fabulousness with Shalini Passi. The author of The Art of Being Fabulous: 10 Rules for a Beautiful Life brings her signature glamour and candour to an intimate conversation and book signing. Expect reflections on living beautifully, owning your narrative, and crafting a life that feels as good as it looks.
On 6th March, 2026, at Crossword Bookstore, Kemps Corner, all is set to celebrate Women’s Day with a refreshing panel discussion on “What Women Don’t Want” from 6:30 P.M. onwards, an evening that promises honesty, humour, and unfiltered dialogue. A bold, no-holds-barred panel discussion that puts women, their choices, and their truths at the centre of the conversation. Leading the charge are voices that are sharp, fearless, and refreshingly candid, by Koral Dasgupta, Shunali Khullar Shroff, and Tara Khandelwal, in conversation with Meeti Shroff-Shah.
They promise an exchange that’s layered, personal, provocative, and possibly uncomfortable (in the best way). Expect stories that resonate, opinions that challenge, and moments that spark laughter, recognition, and maybe even a little rebellion. Because empowerment isn’t always about adding more, sometimes it’s about subtracting what no longer serves you.
If you love books, bold voices, and evenings that leave you thinking long after they end, clear your calendar. Two events. Two powerful conversations. One city.
