Books

Books!! something which we run away from as a child!!.... maybe that is something of a rebellious attitude as a child.... But these are our true treasures.... treasures for life..... so much to learn from and so much to practice from..... each book is a life in itself...... take a biography to a literary work to fiction to mystery to self help etc etc..... some books give you a thought to think.....some impart knowledge and information.... some are entertaining while some inspire you to do good and better things......

Of late i have been reading quite a few books of different genre.... Right now i am immersed in "The Discovery Of INDIA" by Jawaharlal Nehru..... must say a very interesting as well as intriguing book and so beautifully written..... Of course i have read just a few pages of the book as yet, but its keeping me glued....... History can be so interesting, i never knew..... how many of us know that India got its name from River Indus and Hindustan and Hindu are derived from the word Sindhu, which is another name for the river Indus..... Hindu was never a religion by itself during the early civilization, it was much much later that the followers of a religion were called Hindus....

During the early times, India was first know as "The Nobel Land" or "Aryadesha"..... and the religion was referred as "Arya Dharma"....

Sometimes the knowledge of where we came from and where our roots are can be so very surprising....

we must have read about these things.... about the aryans and their travel to india during our school days, but back then these things are just mere subjects for us which now as we grow older, hold so much importance and mean a wealth of knowledge!!
