I felt in love with reading, few months back.When i look back i realize that this is one of the most beautiful thing that ever occurred to me.Apart from normal gyan,What is there that makes reading a awesome activity.Being a avid reader,i always wanted to know what is there in reading that keeps readers like me going.So in introspection,i found out the answer.
Relaxation:After a hectic schedule at the office(which is quite often in life of a software engineer), i needed something to relax.I had two choice - movies or books.I first tried watching movies but after seating in front of the screen for whole day it was not possible to watch a movie on laptop .So i finally decided to go for reading.Now when i look back i think i did one of the most amazing thing.The courtship is still intact and growing stronger day by day.Now i can understand the reason why people say that the book "DaVinci Code" is better than the movie.
Gives me something to talk about :I am a kind of person who always wants to interact with new people(specially girls) and explore unknown territory(please don't read between the lines).But the problem was most of the time i used to run out of stuffs to talk about.This can be uncomfortable sometimes.However,now that i am into lot of reading, i am never out of words.I always have something to talk about.The possibility of sharing is endless.In fact people have given me compliments saying that they feel good talking to me as they can relate with my words.Thanks god i started reading!!!
Changed my life :How many time you have heard that books can change somebody's life? Believe me there are people whose life have been influenced or shaped by books.There are lot of people especially entrepreneurs whose philosophy of life have been influenced by books.It opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking that was not depressing and dull.It was the first step in my path of choosing my own life .In fact my decision to quit my software job and do something more interesting has been influenced by certain books that i have actively read.
It has got some type of healing effect on my mind.My relationship with books (reading) was and is one of the best thing to have happened to me.This relationship holds a special place in my life.At this point i would like to pick up a line from Rang De Basanti , "May the insanity and romance never die".I would like to keep my courtship with books alive and kicking forever
