World Book and Copyright Day

I was wondering how to start this posting. When I was preparing a note and write up on World Book and Copyright Day to put it on notice board I realized the things to post. Before I read this poem I would have thought what to say if any one asks me why one should read a book. Now this beautiful poem will give all the answers, want to try (this is in Hindi)  http://www.jananatyamanch.org/node/135.

I started thinking about myself, how I struggled to face people when I decided to change my profession from teaching/research to taking up the profession of librarian. I know all the well wishers and teachers were thinking about me. But I felt the need to change. After almost all 17 years in this profession I know the change in me, particularly when I started sharing my readings and discussing them with others. Sometimes I wish I should have started my earlier, but I feel there is always a time for certain things.  Today World Book and Copyright Day (April 23) I proudly feel about my decision. Thanks to all those countless number of people who made me see and enjoy the beauty of this profession. 2012 made me enjoy more moments as I started sharing my readings and views on goodreads.com and blogs that I read. Have a nice day.
