World of Books


The world of books

 

The world of Books is dense and visually rich for the initiated….

 

Among the ordained literati of such nature is the belief that this world of symbols and interrelated metaphors is a code that speaks only to them…(not true)

…and only for them (not necessarily)

 

..and once in a while, for a novice wanderer in the bibliophile land, (the notion held is that) a tweaked ray of words and gestures seeps in and he or she is transported for a brief moment into the complex, albeit delightful, twinings of the Book forest.

 

..that it is chance that illuminates the pitiful minds of the neo-illiterate, who won’t read.

 

..not true again.

 

What bibliophiles need in such trying times is humbleness..

Humbleness to realize that the writing world looks actively for the uninitiated novices

(and if I may add) not for people like they..

 

The  wheel of literary world is oiled and kept churning in longingness for the Amateur and uninitiated – for the glare avoiders of the Sunforest world, for people who do not want to be even near books lest they catch an evil shadow of the falling words..

 

What forever-readers should know is that these are the people, the torch bearers to the Book world and that they themselves were one, when they began the journey..

 

The Book land held their hands when they had none..

 

The twist of this fleeting world (is) – the longer you linger in this world and absorb it, the more amateurish you become.

 

The book world is for the brave and the illiterate, who can be swayed by one glow or glimpse of a profound observation – for people, who, in an opportune moment in life, opened the book and found a line or quote in the myriad labyrinth of pages and letters – a phrase that set their world on fire.

 

Welcome to the uninitiated – welcome to the first book that you picked up – thank you for doing that.

 

It is for you that the word exists and not for well-entrenched, socialite well-read bore.

 

Please wander as a Nomad and feel free to close the pages..Keep the walks alive into these galleries of imagination.

 

Be Nomad in the Sun-baked land of books…
