Ashu pens a letter to his favourite books, as gratitude, in the regular column, exclusively for Different Truths.
Dear Books,
I hardly remember the day we met for the first time but I am sure it was probably one of the best. Some of you grew up with me as my best pals whereas many of your siblings have nurtured me throughout this long journey. I always ruminate what my days would have been without you. All these years you have given me so much, which this letter is too small to contain.
The dimension of my each and every thought has journeyed with you. It is no surprise that every new sapling of any thought that sprouted in me had already been present in you like a huge old tree. It was
You have proven to be the best companion I’ve ever made and for this, I am indebted to you. Having received so much from you I doubt that any share of my effort would pay you back. Yet, the least I can do is to promise you to keep this companionship alive until my last breath. In the list of my true friends, your name always remains to be on the top and this is no favour to you, my friend, as you are the linchpin of my life. I just owe you this because only you have the charm and capability to carry me wherever I want,
So, it’s my keen desire and I find it a blessing too to serve you by having my name and the title christened by me on the attire of few of your many successors yet to come. I surmise this might contribute, a little if not much, in carrying your hierarchy forward. I find no better way than this to reimburse a bit of what you have given to me.
Hoping for this selfless love and support until the end of my breath. I believe that our true companionship would unswervingly inspire many others to tread on the same path on which we’ve stepped on!
God Bless!
Regards,
A True Companion
