Paper: Romantic Age CA-III Assignment

‘Every time you enter a library you might say to yourself, ‘The world is quiet here’, as a sort of pledge proclaiming reading to be the greater good’.

- from The slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket

It is known that a person who keeps himself/herself occupied with books will never lose their peace of mind. Remembering this very own statement a plan to visit the library was scheduled on 7th of February 2020.

On that pleasant day along with a few classmates of mine, I boarded a bus to the Anna centenary library around 10.00 am and decided to spend the whole day there by reading books and referring them to take notes for our internal assessment test.

Exploring the library is not only a pleasant experience but also a beautiful experience for us.

The Anna Centenary Library is quite famous for its vast collection of books and also for its infrastructure. Therefore I have written down my experiences and my views about this visit to the library in this assignment.

OPTIMISM – A WAY OF LIFE

As part of the human race, my life too followed the rules and regulations of mortal life filled with joy and grief. Moreover I am a ‘woman’ above all. Wherever I turn, I find rules, restrictions, services that prevents me from enjoying my life or the so called ‘my freedom’. In spite of all these restrictions, I learnt the art of enjoying my life with things that were bestowed upon me.

My parents started to over protect me at times that made my situations even worse, by not letting me to even go and meet my childhood friends. It always took me ample amount of time to convince my parents and make them accept my requests.

On Happiness

I was one of the best rats: Physically, Intellectually and of sound breeding too. What happened to me from whom much was expected of? The pit stop of the rat race changed me for good.

We, human beings as a species, are condemned to be in a state of perpetual pursuit of happiness. The pursuit is never ending and evolving to newer and higher summits upon having achieved the  objective.To be forever moving forward.Thus, the direction which we are headed towards ought to be considered a step in advancement, which therein begs the question, ‘What is success?’.

When we consider how we have evolved, I expect procreation and social standing ranked high among our pursuits. Hence, our view of what is important in life and ensuing pursuits follow a rather primitive existence.

Just Happy Little Accidents...

“We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents”¹ said Bob Ross in one of his very famous art videos. It’s interesting to note that this philosophy holds true to the process of painting, much like how it holds true to the process of creation and sustenance of life itself. Perhaps there is method in every chaos of this world.

Have you ever come across something which is completely perfect? Something flawless, extraordinary, unbelievable. Might be your favourite movie star, or the fresh, hot biryani from your favourite restaurant in town, or maybe someone you love, whose warm smile transcends any beautiful thing you've ever seen.

My Visit to the Library

It was a freak incident as I look back. I wanted to visit a friend of mine. While I was walking towards his house in that village near my hometown, I came across a building which was small outside. I just wanted to see what was inside the building. When I went inside I was shocked to see that it was a library. So, I went on looking at each and every book over there. I found so many novels, poetry books and kids’ books. I forgot that I was going to my friend’s house and I spent so much of time by seeing each and every book. Somehow, I lost track of time in that place.

When I came back for my Christmas holidays, I had time in my hand. So, I remembered about that library. I just felt like visiting the place again. When I went there, I was surprised to see that the library was renovated and the book shelves and their order were changed. So I decided to spend some time there, exploring the library and enjoying all its facilities and also reading some books.

I was just a mere three years old, when I had the fascination to go towards the grand old man of our village to get the mark of valour. Regretting for the pain that I by myself incurred it on me, and to my beautiful hand for a while, I had never felt insane for the act then.

But now it’s really shocking to know how seriously a village and its people irrespective of the age, can be driven by superstitious beliefs.

Thinking that I had all the symptoms of Jaundice in me, my family took me to the elderly man who is known for his methods to cure any sort of illness and diseases. Without any knowledge I acknowledged to open up my fingers where the Hot rod was placed and was pulled with a rapid speed. The rod made a deep mark in my hand which made one of my fingers almost to cut off from my hand leaving all other its companion fingers.

MY QUEST

“Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone is a writer, some are written in the books and some are confined in our hearts” - Savi Sharma

Penning down our memories recreate the happy moments that we experienced. I decided to write my story because someone out there might be strengthened through my testimonies. 

When it comes to a family, parents will show their unconditional love towards their tiny-tots. Especially for little girls, their ‘Father’ become their ultimate Hero. My father, is a PG assistant, every day he has to manage two groups of commerce students. He earns a lot, he provides me and my sister with what we want. He makes sure that we had everything that we needed, but he is 124 km away from us. His absence made me feel down.
