Love for BOOKS

The keys to life are running and reading, there have been gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have--with your parents, with school, with a bully. There's no new problem that someone hasn't already had and written about it in a book “ popular Hollywood actor Will Smith

The present ‘Dog eat Dog” environment is highly competitive, stressful and Violent. Books transport the reader to another world or other’s world. We being social animals would always look upon others for some help, love and recognition. Books help men and women to slip into another world of freedom, love and success. Books help readers to re-enforce faith in humanity and also re-instate the faith in relationships and society as understood from history

In today’s fast paced world people have too little time for introspection or Meditation. Books help individuals to focus on ‘one thing at a time’ ,i.e. READING .Books serve as entertainment and also tool for ‘Focussing on one thing ‘ for a long period, So in literal sense Books help in meditation and researchers would well consider to compare the benefits of reading and meditation. Now is the  age of ‘Multitasking’  and young men and women face the  pressure to succeed in a young age where the bars are raised every day ,Individual’s quest for accomplishment and success has increased multiple times in comparison to the last decade .Therefore another aspect of people falling in love with Books is that the  completion of a book gives a sense of ‘accomplishment ‘ to individuals which brings a sense of pride .

 The collection of one’s books and passing on the same to the next generation shows the character and the journey of a person without the need of being explained. Motivational, Self help books and Biographies are continuous source of motivation. The saying ‘Nothing succeeds like success’ is true about people relying on the books written by successful people  to get inspired to script their own success stories, this also reinforces the magic of books being  instruments of motivation and Inspiration.

Books are easy and light to carry and so they are the INSTANT companions and entertainers on travel and long journeys. After the advent of new age writers and emergence of technologies for publishing, the prices of books have fallen and its now within the reach of readers irrespective of their economic status. Books are the dearest companions when alone .It’s a well known fact that human being spends considerable part of their life on his job(workplace to be specific) and the modern day jobs involve a lot of travelling ,Books become integral part of our’ life out of suitcases’.

Books are the result of patience and long hours of dedication and creativity put in by the writers and thinkers. Thus the buyer of a book gets to enjoy the original creative thinking of the writer and so experiences a feeling of being the first one to join the creative journey of another human being. In recent times Successful books have been the source of few blockbusters in India and abroad. For a book lover this also means the readers acceptance of a book being considered as the yardstick to encourage movie producers to invest and present it to the wider audience.
