Are you missed?

All of us are so used to our environment that we hardly tend to notice the inanimate things around us. We live oblivious to the nature of how they try connecting with this. By inanimate, I mean all those living and non-living things around us, people excluded. The other day, when I was on my usual evening walk in a park nearby, I noticed a vacant space in its corner. Though I instantly recognized there was something missing and it was not a usual sight, it took me a minute and a half to realize that there was a huge tree and had been cut. Although the thought why it was cut came on my mind, the thought that I will miss it and most importantly, will the inanimate things too miss you if you are not around predominated my mind. 

Books- Companions For Life

“A Dog is a man’s best friend”, said someone. I do not know, because I do not own one nor have I fancied owning one. “Books are the windows to the world”, said another. I agree because I am in love with them.

I started reading very late (I started at 20, which I realize is late. So many Books, so little time!) But have since then read decently (with over 100 Books to my read list till now). I realized you can just get immersed in your Book and forget the rest of the world as if it did not exist at all. I have many a times missed the places I had to alight from the bus, during my college travelling, missed many a night’s sleep just to complete a Book because I could not put it down. Every Book you read or for that matter every Book that has been published, has taken a great deal of effort for the author to write, get approved and get it published when every ABC claims to be a writer/ an author these days. Every Book teaches you something valuable and kind that you would remember for life (that is if you enjoy Book reading and choose what interests you). A Good Book takes you to a level, place where it is set in. Each book has a story. Yes, it does. Not the story inside it written by the author but the story of its life. An Autobiography in itself. If Books had mouths, then every Book would tell you a story out of which another book could be born.

It saddens me when I ask my librarian for a Good Old Book and he says it might be misplaced because it is a very old one. Not his fault, he goes with the trends. It is also disheartening to see most of the people do not even bother to read Books anymore. With n number of apps, kindle, e-books in the market one can easily access books than finding a library. But believe me; nothing can ever equal the pleasure of holding a hard copy of a Book in your hands and enjoying it. Every time an e-book is downloaded, a Book in a library or a Book store loses a chance of being borrowed or bought.

For those of you who agree with me, try reading more Books. And for those of you who have not read any, please grab one Now and you will never regret it.

P.s:    Books- hard copies
