To the all the books I own

To begin with a collective hello to all, also an apology at the same time.

Umm, this was a difficult one to pen down. But here we go. I hope I am clear with my thoughts and the way I’d like to put things across.

I know it must suck to be suffocating in that petite cupboard nicely placed for decorative purposes as you might think. But no! When we got here, this was one of my first and very important recommended storage units of all. By now, you may have met some old buddies out there. They’d affirm. For the new entrants, I’m sure you might have stories about how vain I am to all.

Firstly, let me admit that I am a fuckin hoarder. Not a surprise considering the ratio of read and have to be read. I love having things for the sake of having but it is not just that. I only keep things that might have the power to inspire me, in some or the other way. So thank you all of you for at some point being an inspiration.

I often think about stories you might hold and paths you might have crossed. It is almost fascinating to be fascinated by the idea of having as averse to reading in reality.

Let me try and justify why if I could, I’d at least like to try. I’ve been consuming things in a fairly progressive pattern much like how rest of the national population does. That being said, I love swinging back into then and now to preserve what was once gold and would be, tomorrow as well. I love being in 90’s when walkman was a novelty or a 00’s when trends meant standing out and a compulsion like today.

I don’t promise my return to caressing you and appreciate you beautifully fondling the parts of my brain that no other medium can. I am working on it. Starting slowly.

A look, a hold, a skim and a dive.
