The Day I started reading Books
Usually,I love spring and the month of February.But that wasn't the case in February 2019.I was in 10th standard and had my board examinations the next month!How much ever you try to stay calm, but the thought of covering every line, from every chapter, somewhere stresses you.To top it,my parents went to my Aunt's village,for my cousin's wedding.Even I would have been their companion in their journey,but there were,some special lectures,in our coaching classes.

Especially,for the students,whom the class expected to excel in boards.So because of this,I couldn't go along with my parents and had to stay at my uncle's house.I kind of felt unhappy there,and realized the literal meaning of the phrase that ' There is no place,like your own home.'

But finally after a week,my parents returned.

I was very happy to see them and had a feeling of satisfaction.Just then my father,gifted me a book named, 'Here,There and Everywhere.' By Sudha Murthy Ma'am.He had written a short message of love,on the very first page and gifted it to me.

I was very happy at that time,to just see my parents back and didn't show much interest in reading that book.Because I used to get bored very easily after reading books.So I hardly read 2-3 pages and kept the book.And it got covered with a layer of dust.

To be honest, I was never really fond of reading books, except my textbooks and the books of my studies.For which I couldn't give a reason,to not read.

But this attitude of mine changed.

Around,3-4 months ago,when I started writing poems.I started having a huge amount of respect for every writer.Even if I didn't like their writings.

Because,You know,It is mandatory,that you should have respect for everyone,who works or creates in your field,but also I had respect for the amount of patience every writer has.

As writings,poems, stories are barely noticed by anyone and are usually found boring, in times where you can get a thing done, with a click.
And it happens that the short ones, the simpler ones,or the ones which are understandable are noticed and praised.But this doesn't really change the fact, that even the complicated ones, the deep ones are also equally capable, to receive love and to be praised.

Now coming back to my story.Because of the Corona Virus pandemic, where the world was in a state of lockdown,I started reading that book ,few days ago.

'Here,There And Everywhere'
I read the title

And then,I read the first chapter and totally loved it.

The simplicity, with which Sudha Ma'am wrote it took away my heart.I really had a misconception in my mind,that writings, should be in a deep or complicated language,to be loved or to be heart-touching.

But,this took a U-Turn when I read her book.Such simple words and writings,but yet such heart-touching stories.

Now, I understand that words have power.Yes they do!. Because,it's somewhere that, the words which you write,show your emotions,show your beliefs,show your feelings and most importantly show your personality.

So here I am writing a story, after reading a book,which makes me show respect to my first inspiration for writing stories,Mrs.Sudha Murthy Ma'am.
