How I fell in love with





                                      books...







         I started  to read books only from 9th standard. Till then I

         hated all types of books .Not only the text books but even


         novels , were my sworn enemies and the library gave me

         creeps.But my cousin Alka  she changed my attitude

         about books.She told me the story of Harry Potter and the


         Sorceror's stone written by J.K Rowling.I still don’t

         understand  why I fell in love with that story ,it still holds


         the postion of  ‘my all time favourite’.She only got time to

         tell me one story but that was enough to spark the fire So


         after she left,I was curious  to know the complete story

         .Since Harry Potter movies were not so frequent in TVs ,I


         had no option left other than to read books.For first time in

         my life I began to read a book passionately.After reading


         the full series, I re-read it because I had became a

         potterhead that is a huge fan  of Harry Potter  as well as


         books.Like this I read many novels .My parents thought

         that something had happened to because all of a sudden I


         started to ask for books and even joined  a library.Even

         now books  are my best friends they help me to see the

         best in every  situations because  when I read books I


         forget everything and that is how I a hater of books


         became addicted to it.
