I have decided how I want to spend my oldage.....Yes....In my own library........filled with books and novels.....

"My shadow is the only one that walks beside me" is one of my favourite songs......Because the words used in this song are so true.....We come alone..and we leave alone....But in my case its a tad different.....Books have been my companion..and will always be my companion....There is a deep connection between me and novels to the extent that I cannot live with them...I get so absorbed in them that I forget the daily household chores as well....One thing is for sure....Friends entered my life....I welcomed them...They left my life without giving prior notice....I dint object....

But my books are here to stay with me forever. They entered my life..I did not welcome them.....Now if they leave me...Hell....I wont allow them...
