I was in a library a few hours ago!

It all started yesterday. I saw one or two of my friends with a book reading all the while during our travel back from the 'Pennalur Penetentiary'. It reminded me of the past, how I used to be mad about books and how much I loved spending time reading them. It had been months since I picked up a proper novel in my hand. I wanted to do it. I knew that if I could do it once I could do it yet again. So I decided that I will do it and I will do it as soon as possible.
Well, yeah, you are right. I didn't do it. Not that I didn't want to or I changed my mind, its just that I couldn't go to my library. I was held up by... err... Engineering Graphics. I know its lame, but still, by the time I finished watching 4 episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S it was 8 o'clock. I just remembered that my library closed half past eight. I realized that I had only 30 minutes left. I didn't know what to do, I started thinking. By the time I finished thinking, I was doing Plate 8 (Section of Solids) of Engineering Graphics which I had to submit today. (Hey, it took me three hours to finish 5 problems.)
So, today I was determined to borrow a book today. Not that I was thinking about it the whole day, its just that it all occured all of a sudden. Before I could realise anything I was in front of this huge stack of books with names like David Baldacci, Mario Puzzo, John Grisham, Robin Cook, Sidney Sheldon written on them. I didnt know what to do. I was too shy to ask the librarian for help (which I usually do
On my way back I had a fresh lime juice to celebrate my victory. I had conquered my fear at last!! I had borrowed a book and I am going to start reading again! Well, I atleast hope I do.
Its reading time people!! Off I go now!! Ciao!! Wish me luck!
