From
gripping tales of fading yore
gripping tales of fading yore
to
mysterious realms of Gondor
mysterious realms of Gondor
Enclosed
between the tinted pages
between the tinted pages
Are
wizards, Chirons and a few curses
wizards, Chirons and a few curses
Secretly reading Nancy Drew,
and Hardy boys to name a few,
Placed within mathematics guide,
to be hidden from Mommy’s sight
Nostalgic
is the smell of old books
is the smell of old books
few succeed in changing outlooks
Reality
too sometimes borrow
too sometimes borrow
Silent
sighs of a printed sorrow
sighs of a printed sorrow
I am still a huge fan of paper books. The crisp fold of
paperbook, earmarked and sometimes pale, the aroma of newly bought binded
cover, the exchange between friends; these are the simple pleasure of a
book-o-holic. All my favourite books have a special place in my memory. Some I
read tucked in bed listening to the raindrops against the window pane, while
some kept me hooked till early morning and few were read in secrecy while a
major production issue was being discussed by team.

Agreed E-books are portable and they have their own
advantages, but since I am an emotional fool who is blind to practicality love the
feel of turning pages in real than on 4.3 inch screen 😛

One more reason I love books is the awesome bookmarks that I get to use. Here’s one that I made few months back 🙂
You've got company and I am another such emotional fool:) Beautifully expressed poem:)
