Handle With Care



"Hi there, Have you read new novel called "-- name of book--" ?"

"Yeah , I have read it."

 "Do you have the book ? Can you please lend it to me? I'l return it soon "

" Ok let me think about it. ( After thinking for while on how friend would handle the book )Here are the rules

  • Don't fold the pages or the cover of book
  • Don't mark anything on it
  • Don't even think of giving it to other friends 

After so many days like month or so my friend returns the novel with folded page and cover ! 


That's when I decided to stop lending the books! Yeah that'a conversation between me and my friend. Novels are one of few things which I take a care about. Its like a treasure for me. If at all there is something like a device/thing which keeps books safe and new just like day I got it I'd like to buy it! I have actually kept all my novels in wardrobe safely and locked it ( No don't think about getting the key! ) 

Next to novel , there are few sketches I've made. Oh Yeah ! There are equally important and *handle with care* is top priority for sketches. Same applies for gadgets too. Taking care of things is like so in my blood ever since I was child I guess. Earlier it was toys though.After all, these material things are temporary in life and I know it won't last long. Finally and most important it comes to people who I'm surrounded by i.e family and friends whom I care about. ( I feel list goes long if I mention people here so it remains secret) Caring is what drives our action and helps us to accomplish better things. It must start from own , i.e self care. So love yourself , spread the love, enjoy the life!
