So, after a long long gap i am again writing ...
Yesterday, after many years i again took out Swami Vivekanad's book and browsed through it. The person, the books amaze me. When i am feeling down i always take it out and reading through it soothes me. I got a whole set books of the life and preaching of Swami Vivekananda as a prize for an Elocution competition in ninth standard. And since then I have always prized them.
Reading, i have always felt, acts as a kind of medicine to me. Except for instances like yesterday, i prefer fiction , mystery and such novels. The story should be so gripping that one should lose oneself in it. I find relief in submerging myself in the depths of any book - a trick to escape from realities(Only thank god nothing similar to Inkheart ever happened to me). Tired from the frustration and ups and downs of this fickle IT sector , books are those patient friends to me who cheer me up. I think i will stop now or else somebody may take this thing to be an essay on 'Reading - my passion/love/hobby' instead of a personal blog :P
