Books, emotions,experience....

In my present a lot like sabbatical days i have decided to read as much as i can. Not because i am bored but because its been the only hobby which has always stood by me. Even if i tried to avoid it, it came back to me regularly like a dear old friend.Sometimes in the form of an intelligent course book which was mandatory..due to studies or sometimes in the form of a light magazine. But it has been my long and most dear company.

Few days back i was surprised to read 2 books. Surprise is an important element because i have read a lot of books and almost all become similar at some point. One book was Wise and Unwise by Mrs Sudha Murthy and the other was Daddy by Danielle Steel. The first one had extraordinary simplicity but clarity of purpose. With the accounts written in a way in which anyone can relate himself. And it makes you travel to different genres of our society from tribal areas to urban high society and gives you a different outlook towards life. Its a collection of Mrs Murthy's life experiences but enriches the life of the reader. After reading it, i think now i respect the wife more than the husband.

The second book though a fiction made me cry at many junctures. The book has a vivid description of  emotions. It makes you feel what the character is going through. I can just wonder at the work and thought the author must have put to make her penned characters life like. And at some point if i think through i can even imagine her feeling the pain and undergoing the turmoil of her protagonist. Its so awe inspiring. 

I can only say one thing..hats off to all the writers who ever tread this earth. It takes hell lot of  discipline, hard work and effort to begin and finish a book. And thanks for all the good time i had and will have because you made that effort!!
