OWNING A BOOK

 I am one of the millions who loves to read, yet i never owned any notable books other than the essential ones that comes under our educational curriculum, so my thirst for books are quenched by the public library, the abode of stories, peaks of imagination, trenches of mystery. The occasional visits to the library are some of my most cherished moments, to enter the beautiful sunlit room decorated by innumerable books, filled with the fresh and dusty book fragrance, that fills my senses to an indescribable fulfillment. Just being in the library, walking through it's majestic aisles which holds the mightier books and it's wholesome power is a unique experience in itself. Gracing my fingers over the attractive book covers which allures us to read it and the old ones which radiates a certain  calm and a feeling of being in the presence of a door to the treasures. But the limit of two books makes me turn down the allure of the charismatic treasures. Monthly visit to the library is all in all never less than an amusement trip. 

Because of certain reasons. I happened to be away from my monthly abode of amusement and the withdrawal symptoms of being away from the treasure pages made me go to the online shopping sites and led to an impulsive shopping of my first book ordered by myself for myself. And I got the book today and the excitement of unwrapping the cover to seeing and holding my new book was an exceptional feeling. The feeling of owning a book is definitely euphoric, holding the soft lustrous cover of the new book, flowering rainbows of vibrant colors and the fragrance of fresh news pages filled my heart and soul. One should definitely own a book and feel  the beautiful experience of owing a treasure box for the first time , it is indeed fantabulous.
