Library

If there is one place in the world where I would like to spend rest of my life then it is the library. Internet has brought information to us just a click away. But I still feel that libraries can never be replaced. Internet is a ready reckoner, available everywhere and anywhere. Books are heavier, non-interactive, unavailable. But to master something and enjoy reading, I feel it can be only through a book.

When I see the ocean of books in the library, I feel humiliated and humbled. When am I going to read all these books? But every time you get this feeling there is a new source of energy flowing in propelling me to read more and many more. I remember those days I used to spend many hours in children section of Mylapore Ramakrishna Mutt library
with my younger brother reading Tintin and Asterix. These days I invent time to keep my reading habit going. OK it is time for me to do some reading. Bye bye.
