Books, Books Books...

Have you ever experienced that your mind is getting screwed up looking for one answer?? I have a simple rule: When in doubt, go to the bookstore. I used to watch this program "Bournvita Quiz Contest" on Zee TV sunday afternoons. The title track of the program was something that went like this--- "The questions come they chase each other, its a one place where my search can end, where everything I want to know is there....Books books books...A book is your best friend" There are no questions that are not answered by a book (almost) Even then, sometimes, the most complex questions are sometimes explained beautifully and the most appropriate manner through Children's books and cartoons. I was in Barnes and Nobles in the evening today. Usually, I have a set pattern. I first go to the "Bestsellers"section, followed by "Bargain Price"section just browsing through books that I can buy which are dirt cheap:)) Later, I skim through the "New in Paperback"section where I generally look for "Catchy titles" "Well known authors" or "judge-a-book-by the cover" Somehow, my feet just took me to the kids section and "Humor"section! I am not sure, if all my questions are answered or not, but I do believe that Simpson, Calvin & Hobbes, just rock! and today, a small pocket size books on animals with different captions, just answered few of the questions on my mind, reinforcing my belief that I am a normal girl with normal apprehensions in life:) One thing that struck me about that book on animals had an interesting thing to say Falling in love is like a kiss, no two people do it the same way:) There are no fixed protocols. No formulae. None can make a rule that fits everyone alike.
