23rd April, is marked by the UNESCO as
the world book day... For bibliophile it may be day of celebration to
cherish the undulating love reader develops...i personally feel I can really
live a good part of my life in companionship of some of good book....To mark
death anniversary of W. Shakespeare, whose contribution to classic literature
is immense, UNESCO celebrates the day to inculcate reading culture....i
remember in school days we used to be given to write essay on "my
favourite book"...i used to write Ramcharitmanas which I hadn't read
beyond some textbook poems but the awareness that it portrayed Ram as an ideal
character ,used to be our themes , mostly abstract but when I read 'Godan' , i
realized how a literature can be truly
fulfilling..the melodrama imbued with love, sensuality, domestic violence,
poverty at extreme, rural ambience, betrayal n profound narratives, samvad with
animal etc were so vivid, i was completely immersed in character. Sometimes
felt pity for Gobar, sometimes for Dhunia n sometimes ecstatic sense of love ❤,
a true rollercoaster of life reality......i always love to turn few pages of
newer books, sadly i don't complete most of them....recently new habit of book
review gives me essence of newer books on various themes give me a sense of
having intellectual touch but i wish to read them in full.....the ere of E-book
has diminished the love for books whose paper smell keep reader awakened,
inebriated with seductive narratives as i started my move reading journey in
English with Chetan bhagat books which most of small town boys do in their
sophomore years......now i hardly read novel but try to read every review of
non-fiction having multiple themes.....books r really going to be life time
friends when so long spell of life is spent to understand basics of almost all
disciplines...thus cse prep ll help chose nooks in future from eclectic
themes....cheers book day...😀😍
