The first experience...

I clearly remember that day in my fourth standard when we were handed out our schedules[or Time tables as we used to call] there was a period each week for a library,[wow a whole period for the library... and I will be allowed to 'THE LIBRARY'] that was which exited me and also angry cause that was a Wednesday my library period was on a Tuesday["could they not have handed this yesterday....Bah! hopeless management"], anyways finally it was "THE TUESDAY" and my first step into the place and I immediately fell in love with it. I really could not say it was just love but awe at the thought that a single room could hold so many treasures and I was allowed into it[wow..... that simply made it so wonderful]. Then I saw her such a wonderful smile with which she wished us in.... and said that she would be calling us one by one and we could come and select a book off the shelves from which we were allowed off.The calling stated and it was in an alphabetical order[why the hell did my name start with an 'S' :( so many before me so many books gone.... will there be at least one for me.. and why were these fools taking so much time can't they hurry.....] Finally me and the smile on my face the moment I reached the place that would be the best moments in my life [there were quite a good number of books left though..... :)] and then started the crazy feeling [just one book... what will she do with all these cant she give me at least 3... or just 2...NO she says only one book....Huh!!!], every book looked so tempting so different so very interesting and the funniest part was I did not know even a single name... not even one and I started pulling out one book after another with both the librarian and the kid behind me looking me like when will I move from there.... finally I settled for a one titled "ENID BLYTON'S FIVE ON A TREASURE ISLAND"[wow a treasure island that should be interesting......] and when I finally made it to her still looking back at the shelf maybe I should take that red book there or that nice hard bound one.... will this be nice who knows I don't even know the who wrote this... and then she said "nice book you selected..."[she was the best she said that the book I selected was a nice one I am really great... look at all those fools I call friends who went in for the red book or the bound book but I went for 'This book' which she called nice.. :D] and then at the end of the class until when I was just looking at my book or telling off everybody who would hear that she praised me for selecting 'this' book [HA HA HA so wonderful of me... I am the best... the greatest] It was only when she started talking to us that I broke of my dream like state[fervently hoping she would say to the whole lot that I choose a really really really good book and everyone should learn from me.....] and she ,not like I was hoping simply said that the library was open in the lunch hours if any one of us wanted to come in and read something and the end of the class for us...[What bloody insanity was this... outright injustice just one hour a week for the library just one...] but then it was done nothing more I could and silently walked out of the library sad but all the way smiling and pulling my friends and proudly saying that I got this wonderful book that had so wonderful story that you know it had magic, and whatever I knew that my friends would say a 'WOW' at.. my book had it all nothing in their books.... [hehehe I was really a big bragger since childhood ;) I had not even read a page of the book and I stated telling about its greatness] But the whole day I was silently stealing glances trying to read but again... scare where I would be punished by my other teachers. Even so my favorite maths teacher did catch me and lo... to my surprise she says "library book eh.. let me see? good one you got there but read it in your free time or at home not in the class put it inside or I will take it away"[wow even my maths teacher says this is a nice book I really am the greatest.... YAHOOOO] that's it I was on cloud nine for the rest of her class and even volunteered to carry her books to the staff-room after the class just cause she said my book was nice.... NEXT: About the first book

The Begining of an everlasting love....

Fascination for books that was with me since very young in my life. Books,books and more books that was all I started dreaming about when I was first allowed to my school library in my fourth standard and that has held until to day [although I did have patches where my books were just related to my subject :( ] and will surely stay. I had a strange habit in the early school days, we had a rule in our school that every student be given a book for a week after which he may exchange or request for the same book.... this was the beginning of the problem for me as my bus travel to school took close to 45 min each trip and the book I borrowed finished in 3 to 4 days leaving me without one for the remaining week, so what I did was started searching for all those who did not read books in my class and make at least one tag along with me to the library so that he could borrow a book which I could read subsequently[clever of me ehh...]. Maybe this habit of mine made more book lovers like me, no idea but I sure did enjoy the books I found and any one wanted me to summarize a book that was game because I simply loved that.......and perhaps one of the major reasons for me to start this blog coming soon my first book
