Selaiyur Library


Today, I discovered that a new library has opened in Selaiyur. It's so close to the Selaiyur Police Station, so we don't have to worry about safety. I went to visit today and was amazed by the books I found there. Most books were focused on competitive exams, and many students were rigorously studying for competitive exams using those books there. From UPSC to Bank exams, from TNPSC to SSC, you can find every book there. Seeing the students, I was reminded how life is a race and all these people are competing with one another to win this race. There were also plenty of books on advanced English and our native Tamil language. I could see the library was focused on books on competitive exams, and some general readers may not find their suitable book there. But for students preparing for competitive exams like me, this place is heaven.

The library had good ventilation, with the cool breeze blowing through as I walked in. The library is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. It's open from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm on all days except Friday. They have a small parking area. There's some greenery that appeases our eyes as we enter the gate. We have to sign our name and time when we enter and exit. Overall, I loved this library. I'm excited to spend much of my future holidays here. This is certainly going to be my second home from now on.

To all the Seagulls who wanna fly

Image
Jonathan Livingston Seagull written by Richard Bach changes lives.. Like it did mine.  This book resonated with me more than anything else in this mundane world. Before, I was one of the other gulls who didn't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight. I only cared about surviving everyday without purpose like a machine - just getting through a day, from shore to food and back again.  Only when I was stuck in a disaster did I realise the importance of flying. "There's so much to learn!" I want to fly. I don't want to fly to eat. I want to fly because I love flying. I belatedly realised there's a Jonathan Livingston Seagull living inside me all these years unnoticed.  The weight of failure is heavy on my back. Just like Jonathan. But I will not give up my flight no matter how much the other gulls mock me and pull me down. I get breathless and terribly tired while trying to fly. But the thought of my breakthrough, makes my little heart race. My flig...

Into The Magic Shop

Image
"Into The Magic Shop" written by James R Doty is a guidebook for personal growth. This book tells the story of a hopeless young boy Jim who loves magic. Jim lives with his alcoholic father and depressed mother and grows up without parental love. One day, he enters a magic shop and meets a kind woman named Ruth who takes him in and teaches him the most powerful magic which are lessons of compassion, mindfulness, calming yourself, manifestation, opening your heart, etc. This magic shop becomes his comfort place & saves him. Her magic allows him to decide for himself who he wants to be rather than letting those around him define his identity and worth. Ruth's tips to him are given at the end of each chapter for us readers to follow it.  As Jim grows up, he drifts away from the lessons he learnt and becomes a egotistical neurosurgeon. We get to see all the good and ugly parts of him and learn how important empathy and compassion is in life.  Some of my favorite quotes fro...

Not Your Princess

Image
Why should I fit your glass shoes?  I'm not Cinderella.  Why should I be the fairest in the world?  I'm not Snow White.  Why should I lose my voice?  I'm not Ariel.  Why should I be kissed without consent?  I'm not Aurora.  Why should I be kidnapped?  I'm not Persephone.  Why should I be disrobed?  I'm not Draupadi.  Why should I prove my chastity?  I'm not Sita.  Why should I be imprisoned?  I'm not Belle.  Why should I be locked up?  I'm not Rapunzel.  Why should I be the cause of all evils?  I'm not Pandora.  Why should I wait to be saved?  I'm not a Princess.  Enough waiting for a Prince Charming,  Time to be a Regal Darling!  Girls don't need a hero to rescue them,  They need a comrade to fight beside them.
