The begining

when i am with her my mind is at rest, without her it keeps churning out thoughts which i feel like i shoud give them words. by no means i am a writer, nor i have enough experience on any subject to write about. during our college times one of my professor had suggested me and a couple of my friends to write a book to help the students. if then i had taken him seriously, i would have ended up with a book against my name. but just the way i was i didnt do it . now i feel the pinch of it. i was never much into reading , even when i was young all i can remember is phantom, mandrak and luther. that too when i was in a small town in MP. when i returned to mumbai at about 3 life had changed.
i dont know why my father had bought that book, but during some show on TV i herd about it and i checked it out. it was ment to be my first book to be read in many a years. the book was named ' WINGS OF FIRE ' its the autobiograbhy of former indian president APJ Kalam writen by Arun Tiwari. the book was a great work to read, within that book i came across another authors work. i havea book store near my residence. i just entred it to have a look at whats on offering. its always hard for me to pick and choose cause i am not a kind of reader who knows what they are looking for. going through the self one of the name sparked in my brain. it was the same name which i had came across in 'WINGS OF FIRE' . it was Khalil Jibran.
i immediately hold on to it, just the shear size of the book can deter a moderate reader (i am not even a moderate reader) but a force more than me drived me . the truth is over more than thousand pages, i still havnt managed to read the whole book but have tried to read more then 50% of it. just like Main Kampf, of which only part one has been read, part two is yet to be touched. Shantaram was a pleasant surprise for me. without much effort of my own i was able to go through the whole book, a wonderful experience, a journey of life. i am also in love with karla .
enough of books. there are not enough word as there are books and i am just too small to say about the treasure of knowledge held in them. soon i am to begin a journey of my own. something i have found to be common in all the books is the theam of love. i have know it forever it seems how much love is important in life, but still i am to find it. my journey begins here ...befor i can find love , i have to know what it is.
