Man cannot live alone. He needs friends. He likes to live in
the company of other men or animals. There are also those people who love the
company of books. The company of books gives the pleasure of company of man and
Nature too. What is a book? A book is the map of man’s life and life in Nature.
Books can be our friends. They can be by our side in whatever mood we are. They
enlighten and inform us. Books are written by experienced people so we can
learn about their life and their experiences too. We can carry books with us
when we travel. They fill our minds and hearts with hope and joy. Books play
important role in influencing our characters and personality. A man is known by
the company he keeps. So it is very important to pick up the right kind of
books to read. Reading is habit one should cultivate right form childhood. It
is the best leisure time activity. One must graduate from picture comics, fairy
tales, detective and romances to good literature. The correct choice of books
depends on one’s temperament and tastes. Books are written on different topics
like history, geography, science, philosophy, religion and so on. One must
treat each subject as the windows through which the glimpses of the world can
be taken. Books like the Ramayana and Mahabharata are relevant in modern times
too and teach people the ways of life. Writer’s like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal
Nehru, etc. put forward their life on a platter to understand their goals and
teachings. When we read books we are in the company of the best and noblest
minds of all ages. They enrich our minds by providing us with knowledge and
widen the frontiers of our imagination.
