Deeviations

Don't you feel that rustic romantic breath of air that subtly envelops and adorns architectures from an era of bygone glory? They sing an old song, they have a story to tell, secrets hidden in the solid walls and pillars that surround. Nobody knows their story - it could be of battles lost, or triumphant victories, or maybe a saga of forbidden love, heartrending betrayals or of hidden treasures, or perhaps the wisdom of the ages.. nobody knows, no one will...

Their stories unknown and untraceable, these historical vestiges stand their ground against the horizon as a bold reflection and epitome of a majestic past, a sublime history, a rich hertiage, thats not meant to be forgotten but is almost... 

Old world charm. Mesmerised. Astounded. I am helplessly transported into an enigmatic whirl that words cant describe... but i tried.

mmmmmm books…

It’s the monsoons - perfecto for my renewed challenge to read books and reignite this long lost hobby of mine. Once upon a time, I was an avid bottle-eyed bookworm utterly obsessed with books; libraries where my seventh heaven, my cloud nine, and under the blanket was my cozy wormhole, night was day and day was night, I never cared. Good times!

But unfortunately, as time passed by and life ebbed on, so did my dwindling interest in books… sigh. Ever since, I have been wistfully wishing to read books again… but Mr Procrastination always won fair and square!

So I asked myself - if not now… when? So recently, on a spur, I marched myself to a lending library nearby and gifted myself a membership and now here I am… a happy bottle-eyed bookworm again – and loving every minute of it!

Stepping into the library was a spell binding moment – the familiar piles and stacks of books, the numerous rickety shelves, the rousing blurbs on the back of the books, the crisp scent of brown tinted pages – the very ambience of it all – simply pepped a soft nostalgic adrenalin rush. Memories.

Now, curled up with a book and snug in my cozy wormhole after ages – I am thrilled beyond words that I gave my reading challenge a shot. Books are here to stay. Solid.

Leave no regrets behind. Better now than never.
