No amount of slogans, tweets, greeting
card industry products, SMSs, news bytes can bite into the space of books.
Meme-literate
milliennials, WhatsApp warriors, Facebook frontiers, Social media
superficiality specialists, MSM (Mani stream media) mafia of manipulators of
mass opinions, sensationalism seeking reporters, anchor room arm chair
specialists to all of you greetings on
World Book and Reading day.
In future, value
the importance reading books, now easily available at a click of a mouse before
manufacturing justifications for your conclusions.
Be tolerant and
have sense of humour too with ‘u’after ‘o’.
BOOKS are the
greatest gift to human race.
Excess of
catchy short slogans, abbreviated aphorisms serving the greeting card industry
and sermons spicing self –help book messiahs are all compact but not
necessarily complete or comprehensive.
Serious
reading, review and researches have to be substantial and hence necessarily
lengthy, lingering and lasting.
The reason
being anything that attempts to weave a serious relationship has to necessarily
not merely stop at appealing and convincing but go beyond that and cull out and
convey the synergies among a hoard of things, facts, perceptions, ideologies,
personalities, characteristics, ideas, issues, problems, actions, thoughts,
reactions, opinions, attitudes, concepts, prevailing contexts, demands of
diplomacy, perspectives, reactions and so and all these to be embellished by
the beauty of language, aesthetics of style of the author etc.
Therefore, no
amount of slogans, greetings, tweets, SMSs, news bytes can bite into the space
of books and serious reading.
So long live
serious lengthy write ups and good books.
A person, who
can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill. ~ Jane Austen
A person who
reads lives more than one life, but that means that they die more than once as
well. ~ Deanna Vasquez
All the secrets
of the world are contained in books. Read at your own risk. ― Lemony Snicket
"In books
I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I
was" - Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life
A piece of
writing has to seduce the reader, it has to suspend disbelief and earn the
reader's trust. ~ Po Bronson
A perfectly
healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the
hue and fragrance of the thought. ~ Thoreau
