India, Nov. 11 -- "How we spend our days is how we spend our lives." This is something I try to remind myself (along with alerts about hydrating self) on the daily. An important reminder to look beyond the immediate surroundings, roles, titles, and more. But how? Cue: the third space!

What is a third space? Coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in the early 1990s, third space is a social environment separate from your home and workplace. These are locations that act as conduits, bringing the community together. A place of culture and exchange, research shows- these spaces build social cohesion and a sense of belonging for members. And The Library at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) is poised to do exactly that.
