Pick a book and celebrate the day...
Have you ever read a book which seemed to be written for you exclusively?Have you ever read a book which mashed your conscience?Have you ever read a book which filched your love for books?Your answer for a question might be the answer of another question of someone.Books doesn't affect us uniformly but uniquely.Each and every book affected our society to craft it in a way we live in for now.Today ,April 23, is celebrated as International Books day worldwide since 1995.

Out of 365 days and 12 months of a year today was chosen and when ferreted out I got to know that it is the demise of the legend Shakespeare.It was really weird to celebrate the day he reached majority.Anyway I found solace with the fact that he was born on the same day while the date remains unfold..It is the most perfect thing to honor one of the most influential and evergreen poet who have lended the language with alluring words.His plays still thrive even among children.
''In the highest civilisation the book is still the highest delight''
Every man has an addiction - Drug,alcohol,gaming,internet,food and so on.Books are one among them.I was quite addicted to novels at some point.I used to dwell among the book and hated the reality.I was fidgety when I can't hold them.I never realised the quality time I lost with friends,family and even myself.It took me some time for self realisation after a very long time to read a book deeper than what it says.I love classic novels.I love the affluent lines and tranquil sceneries.I wanted to imagine every bit of the places mentioned and get to know the original environment(both social and political).this created vacuum in my mind.I started learning about the wars,plagues,droughts,famine,religion and so forth.They gradually put my life at balance.I could see things the way far different from before.Books can be addictive but it is much curable with added benefits.They fuel our expectations about people,friends and even our own rooms,It can do wonder even in a barren mind to bear green woods.
Most of the novels centred around female characters potray them as " a snowy dove trooping with crows"( Juliet reference from Romeo & juliet).Their attire,ornaments and even their scarfs can occupy pages.This distanced people who who don't accessorise themselves,[people who barely look at mirrors to mend deformities and avoid attention as much as possible.Well,I'm people.Ay!I always felt being far from female leads till I read "Little women" by Louisa May Alcott.The character Jo was such an amazing fictional character who made me feel confident at my own personality.She inspired me to continue being who I want myself to be even if the whole world scorn at me.

One thing I love most about being a reader is we never get bored too easily.Every wayfarer will represent a fictional character.Every winning person's routine reminds us about the persuasion of Kiyosaki and Carnegie.When we start being a reader,we will turn a observer,listener, and much of a person that we love to see in others.Once a reader is always a reader.
