Fridays at the School Library

Fridays at the School Library

As I read the line, "Like Rohini to Chandra, like Lakshmi to Narayana, am I to him," from Sudha Murty's "Mahashweta," I knew I had found the perfect book. My heart resonated with the words, and I felt an instant connection.

Friday visits to the library became a highlight of my week. The moment I stepped into the library, I felt a sudden change of heart. The 7th period, which was our library period, became something I eagerly looked forward to.

Our school library has an impressive collection of books, but it was in Class X that I discovered Sudha Murty's works. Her writing touched my heart, and I found myself drawn to her stories. Fridays became a day of joy, and I would rush to the library to borrow one of her books.

My classmates would often see me reacting to the various scenes in the book, and I must admit, I broke the "Silence" rule more often than not. However, after my teacher canceled the library periods due to the chaos I created, I realized the importance of maintaining silence in the library.

Each book I borrowed from the library had a profound impact on me, but "Mahashweta" holds a special place in my heart. It was like a balm to my soul, healing me in ways I never thought possible. The book had a profound impact on me, and I felt my heart bloom like a sunflower in sunshine.

As I delved deeper into Sudha Murty's works, I discovered that her writing was not just entertaining but also thought-provoking. Her stories taught me valuable life lessons about resilience, empathy, and the importance of relationships.

The school library became my sanctuary, a place where I could escape the pressures of everyday life and immerse myself in the world of books. I cherished every moment spent in the library, surrounded by the musty smell of old books and the quiet hum of concentration.

In conclusion, I am grateful to the school library and Sudha Murty's "Mahashweta" for being my constant companions during my school days. The library will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope to continue exploring the world of books for years to come.
