I belong to a family
where everyone loves to read. My journey of reading began with the Malory
Towers series by Enid Blyton when I was 10 years old. After that began my love
affair with books. I read the classic books like A Christmas Carol, Adventures
of Tom Sawyer to mystery books like Nancy drew and Agatha Christie. But when I
was in the tenth standard as studies became a priority. Although I loved to
read but I got very busy with my studies and after that hardly read 3-4 books
in a year. When I was in college I enjoyed reading books by Sidney Sheldon, Danielle
Steel, Harlan Coben and Nora Roberts. But still I wasn’t able to give time to
reading as much I would love to give. Once I got married and my son was born,
reading took a complete back seat. That was the time when I couldn’t go out
much and I wanted to something for myself. When my son was about 4 months old, I
started reading again. I used to look forward to reading when he slept. I took
a membership in our local library. Chennai has excellent libraries. They have a
huge variety of books, from the latest books to classics.
From the last four years,
I have revived my hobby again. The most common question which my friends ask me
is when do I get time to read. I tell everyone that if you love something, you
will definitely take out 30 minutes for it. Either I wake up early before everyone
wakes up in my family. I enjoy my alone time with my book and a cup of coffee
or before going to bed, I read a few pages of a book.
