In the Library- For Contest

In the library - for contest Books are the ever- burning lamps Of knowledge and wisdom.... It 's a well-established truth and I also nod in full agreement... But let me say this, I am not a nerd And I am not a book-worm.... Nor do I have a flair for reading much and all my friends know this too well.... But in these few days what surprised them was my frequent library visits My tryst with our town library.. was on a rising note day- by -day My friends got curious and dubious! Free-times or weekends my schedule had changed, My footsteps take me to the library road .... All roads for me led to library not Rome! Friends were not on my agenda as before... Intolerable, all in a group they did approach Asked me the reason for my library craze... I shrugged, I smiled,I winked, I blushed but didn't disclose.... My visits to library stay continued... One fine morning greatly dressed I, left my home as my perfume lingered My destination, I need not say now I know you readers have guessed it right! My steps moved in well-paced rhythm Hilarious spirits , morning pleasant! Sun smiled at me and flowers wished! Into the library i did step in... And as his glimpse my sight caught I blushed, I waved, smile creeping in Bright face, so elegant , so handsome Waved back and sent me a flying kiss A research scholar and my new love! Day in and day out he enjoys with books... "The origin of species" by Charles Darwin Rene Descartes and his philosophy of, Cogito ergo sum ! My experiments with truth by Mahatma Gandhi! Hereditary principles by Gregor Mendel.. Sociological thoughts of Max Weber These are a few that I recollect.. Oh my dear soup friends...now that you all know Please maintain silence.... is the board I'll point at! My other friends are still curious.... I leave it to them to find on their own!! My love has filled in me a new passion my reading habit is slowly improving! I sat with him last week with Pygmalion Classic of versatile George Bernard Shaw How hours passed like minutes, I never know! I Worship library now as a repository of knowledge of varied genre! In reading and applying what we read lies our real wisdom! for contest: In the library sponsorer-Isaiah Zerbst by: Anulaxmi Nayak on:13th August 2015
