Pages of Tranquility: Journeying Through the Worlds of Books




Books provide the ideal tranquility in life, and reading is similar to having a conversation about your history and present with a devoted friend. The book transports you to another planet and awakens your senses to novel experiences that exist only in retreat. Reading any excellent book is similar to having a discussion with the greatest minds of bygone eras. Your knowledge base will grow as you read more. You will go to more places the more you learn.Reading is a practice in empathy and temporarily putting oneself in another person's shoes. After finishing a book you find meaningful conversation with life always remain with you.

 


 

My preferred stimuli—escape, solace, and consolation came from reading. I read it just for enjoyment; there's something so lovely and peaceful about having an author's words echo through your mind. The Internet has consumed people's reading spaces in recent years. This was too much for even me to ignore. This avalanche of internet bugs also affected me. Book reading became less important. The last three books I read, as far as I can recall, were "Not Without My Daughter "by Betty Mahoody,

 

 ,"Bihar Diaries" by Mr.Amit Lodha ,IPS and 

 

Amritsar Mrs.Gandhi last Battle by Mark Tully & Satish Jacob and that too, three years ago.

 




I have avoided social media to a large extent for a few months. I've cut back on communications on Messenger and WhatsApp to make more time for reading books.  Indeed, well-written and captivating books are priceless, and one can survive by simply hiding behind their pages. Books have a haunting melody, much like a song.  I'm returning to my hobbies now. "Killing Pablo" by Mark Bowden and Pablo Escobar is in my possession. The book centers on a drug lord from Colombia who is among the most formidable criminals in history; a web series called "NARCOS" is based on him.

 

The books hold even more richness. You may hear someone else's voice within a book with just a quick glance. Books make excellent companions throughout both happy and sad times, as they contain people who have survived by hiding inside books. Books release the chains of time, demonstrating the magical abilities of humans. Books are the most patient teachers, the most approachable and wise advisers, and the calmest and most dependable companions. You can move without using your feet, thanks to them. Books make excellent companions throughout both happy and sad times, as they contain people who have survived by hiding inside books. The road, the train, and the airplane are books.

They are both the journey's end and its destination. Now they are at home. The best parts of reading are when you hit on something—a notion, an emotion, or an angle of view. Here it is now, placed down by someone else—someone you have never met, possibly even a long-dead person. And it feels like someone has reached out and grabbed yours.

 

Books are the most reliable and calm companions; they are the most approachable and knowledgeable advisors, and they are paid the most. When you finish a fantastic book, you should have had a lot of experience and be a little tired. Reading is like living multiple lives at once.
