Two months have lapsed since I have posted something on my
blog, let alone visit it. All of my time was consumed by wrapping up work at my
previous office (yes I have quit) and hunting for a new job (that seems quite
tiring, as I have to hone my interview skills after almost two years). Amongst
all this pandemonium, I realized I had completely forgotten something I love
doing. It suddenly struck to me that I hadn’t picked a book for ages.
Determined to break the jinx, I scanned my collection.
Randomly, I picked up Chetan Bhagat’s Two States. Though not a fan of the
writer, I had bought this book due to the good reviews it got. Now it served as
a light read. Getting into a comfortable position and reading, I slowly got
lost into my own world. Poring through the pages, imagining the scenes, and
laughing at the funny ones, I felt like a missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle had
fallen into place, to complete the picture.
After about two hours, as I kept down the finished book, I felt
a calmness surround me. After this post, I am picking up another book. By the
time you read this post I may be into my second or third book. Such is the joy
of reading. Unadulterated, replete, and sweet.
Peace!
